Tantuni
A very popular street food in Turkey, originating from the city of Mersin — imagine a kind of Turkish fajita. Thin strips of beef are stir fried with spices (traditionally with cottonseed oil), then wrapped in soft, thin lavash bread with onions, tomatoes, parsley, and fresh mint; served with pickled vegetables on the side.
Also available vegetarian: spicy grilled haloumi cheese wrap with onions, tomatoes, parsley, and fresh mint
Tulumba
The appeal of sweet, deep fried dough is pretty universal, from Persian bamiyeh to Indian jalebis, Mexican churros to Greek loukoumades to our very own Tim Bits. Tulumba are small round cylindrical fritters, dunked in a sugar syrup while still hot.
