Street Food Guide Austria 2024: The Best Turkish Street Food in Vienna

Despite more space, you often have to be patient here: nowhere else, it seems, are the kebabs so popular. No wonder: home-baked bread, perfectly seasoned meat and crunchy vegetables are the ideal ingredients for this sandwich. This is how the cult snack should taste!.

All the classics of Turkish cuisine are here: Cig Köfte, Dürum and Lahmacun. Plus the salads and soups ("Kuru fasulye" bean stew with rice!). The "Adana Original Special" remains the bestseller, with perfectly seasoned crispy grilled lamb, as the star.

Meat, vegetables, spices, sauces - the most important components of oriental dishes are there. It is best to pack them all into a sandwich. Köfte - the eponymous meatballs - are freshly prepared. They come in a wide variety of versions.

Filled with spicy doner meat, vegetables and yoghurt sauce, the Dürüm is then rolled up perfectly. They are happy to accommodate special requests, but you should be careful with the spiciness. The wrap-like Turkish specialty is even available here in XXL format.

Ferhat deserves the fame and fanfare for his kebabs, which have achieved a cult status in Vienna. The meat - Austrian pasture-raised beef - is seasoned only with salt to bring out its own nature flavour and grilled on an open fire. Served with delicious sourdough bread and their own yogurt sauce.

If you offer "world champion kebabs", you naturally have to offer the best meat and freshly baked bread. However, the modern market stall also offers more than that: börek, homemade hummus and grilled meat specialties - from lamb to prime steaks.

Here you'll find kebabs that really stand out from the rest. The meat is grilled in the traditional way over glowing charcoal, which gives it an incomparably smoky flavour. The bread is always fresh from the oven and the sauces round off the taste experience perfectly.

The snack bar has now achieved cult status. You often have to be patient, as waiting times can be long. There is a wide selection of meat, vegetables and sauces, so you can put together your own Berlin-style kebab to suit your taste.

Whether in a sandwich, in a box or in a bowl - the taste remains unsurpassed. However, the meat-free alternatives are particularly noteworthy. Vegan kebabs are rare in terms of quality and taste, especially when topped with homemade sauces and crunchy vegetables.

Much of Turkish-Levantine cuisine thrives on the roasted aromas from hearty grilling. At Kent's main location, dishes such as the Şiş Kebap and Köfte capture these wonderful flavours. Even the "meatless" versions are delightful, with delicious mezze options and braised dishes.
