Iskender kebab is thinly sliced doner meat layered over pieces of pita or flatbread soaked in tomato sauce. The meat is cooked on a vertical spit and shaved off in thin layers right before serving, which keeps it tender and juicy.
The dish is finished with a pour of hot melted butter and served with a spoon of yogurt or suzma on the side — the tangy dairy balances the richness of the meat and sauce. Iskender is a filling dish, usually ordered as a full meal rather than a light snack.
