Ciğer Kebabı

Among the varieties of kebab, the most consumed one is liver kebab in Şanlıurfa.

Liver kebab is a type of kebab that is eaten during all meals. The difference from other places is that you have to wrap your own kebap in Şanlıurfa. Liver shops where you sit on low stools have onion, parsley, mint and isot pepper on the table. Everybody gets a chopping board and a knife. While the liver you order is being prepared, you prepare the mixture you will put in your wrap. When the liver is ready, it is served to you with roasted isot pepper in flat bread. You add the mixture you have prepared to the liver and wrap it. This is the etiquette for eating liver in Şanlıurfa.

Liver kebab is eaten throughout the day, during breakfast, lunch and dinner, late at night or at Suhoor during Ramadan. There are countless liver restaurants with only liver kebab in their menu around Haşimiye Square and the new bazaar.
