Hailing from the Mediterranean port city of Mersin, Tantuni is one of Turkey’s best-kept street food secrets – and now it’s available at KAPYA. Our Beef Tantuni starts with finely chopped halal beef, cooked on a hot pan with our signature spice blend until deeply savory and aromatic. A touch of water is added as it cooks, creating a slightly juicy, almost saucy texture that sets Tantuni apart from ordinary meat fillings.

The bread is just as important as the filling. We press soft lavash directly onto the hot pan, letting it absorb the spiced meat juices before adding the beef, sumac-dusted red onions, diced tomatoes, and fresh parsley. The lavash is rolled tightly, served hot with a squeeze of lemon and a cold glass of ayran – a traditional Turkish yogurt drink that perfectly balances the spices. It’s bold, tangy, satisfying, and completely addictive. Once you try Tantuni, you’ll understand why people in Mersin line up for it every single day.
