Kumru Sandviç

Kumru is a traditional Turkish sandwich from Izmir, known for its soft, sesame-coated bread and hearty fillings. The sandwich typically includes slices of sucuk (Turkish sausage) and other cured meat varieties, and kaşar cheese, grilled together to create a warm and flavorful meal. The vegetarian version filled with cheese, tomatoes and green pepper is also available. Kumru is often enjoyed as a quick and satisfying snack, especially popular among locals for breakfast or lunch. The combination of savory meats and melted cheese, along with the slightly sweet and nutty flavor of the sesame bread, makes kumru a beloved staple in Izmir’s culinary scene. Its origins date back to the early 20th century, and it has since become an iconic part of the city’s food culture.
