When you walk down the streets of Türkiye, you will always be attracted by the different kinds of food. So let's take a look at the top 5 most popular street food in Türkiye today!


1. Turkish Rotisserie


Turkish Rotisserie is a Turkish dish made from the meat of a rotisserie chicken or other meat with toppings. The Rotisserie to Turks is what the burger is to Americans and has become one of the most popular forms of fast food in the world.


2. Simit (Sesame Ring Bread)


If "salty yoghurt" is the national drink of Türkiye, Simit is the national staple. The crispy bagel, covered in aromatic sesame seeds, is a favourite at any age and in any family and can be enjoyed with breakfast, lunch, or dinner.


3. Turkish ice cream


Turkish ice cream made from fresh goat's milk is the toughest, chewiest ice cream in the world, or as some call it, the flying ice cream.


It is very sticky and resilient without water, a bit like milk candy, and it doesn't melt or freeze easily, so the vendor can pour it around with an iron spoon without throwing it on the floor.


The most famous thing about Turkish ice cream is not the flavour, but the way it is sold. With a long spoon stuck to the ice cream, floating around in front of the customer, you just can't catch it.


4. Rice Pudding


Unlike traditional congealed pudding, rice pudding is thick, liquid form. Rice pudding is found in many countries, but in Türkiye it is usually baked in a small earthenware bowl with a burnt crust on the outside, and a spoon is used to gently pick through the burnt crust to reveal the rich white milk.


5. Baklava


There is a Turkish proverb that says "sweets are equal to a good heart and sweet words", and eating sweets has become a natural "national sport" in this country.


There are always a variety of sweet shops on the streets of Türkiye, with enough colourful little treats to attract people to stop by and bring back a few to savour.
