The most famous culinary masterpiece of Bursa, Iskender Kebab features thinly sliced doner lamb served over warm pita bread, topped with hot tomato sauce, melted butter, and a side of thick yogurt. This legendary dish has been a symbol of Turkish gastronomy since the late 19th century.
Candied Chestnuts
Dessert
Made from premium chestnuts grown on the slopes of Mount Uludağ, Candied Chestnuts are Bursa's signature sweet. Slowly cooked in a rich sugar syrup, this delicate confection is famous for its soft texture, gentle sweetness, and elegant aroma.

Traditionally served alongside Iskender Kebab, Shira is a historic Turkish beverage made from slightly fermented red grape must. Naturally sweet and highly refreshing, it acts as a perfect, digestive accompaniment to rich meat dishes.
