Hacı Şükrü Fırın Kebabı

About the Venue

One of the most established masters of oven kebab — Konya's signature dish — Hacı Şükrü carries on the city's gastronomic tradition with lamb cooked for hours in a stone oven. The aroma drifting from the oven at the front invites passers-by inside. Oven kebab is made by slowly cooking salted lamb in its own fat in a stone oven heated by wood fire; the meat softens so much that it is shredded with a fork, while the outside turns lightly crisp. It is served with fresh round bread and charred pepper alongside. With its crowded but fast-running hall and unchanging flavour, Hacı Şükrü is one of the first choices for those wishing to taste Konya cuisine after a visit to Mevlana.
