About İskender kebab
The İskender kebab is credited to İskender Efendi in 19th-century Bursa, and restaurants run by his family still serve it in the city: thin slices of döner over pide bread, with tomato sauce, yoghurt and sizzling butter poured at the table. For dessert, try kestane şekeri, Bursa’s candied chestnuts.
