No. 19 in the world · November 2026
No. 19The one to order off the fire
A skewer of the Romanian beef kebab or the chicken shishlik, with the full spread of salatim
What it burns: Charcoal grill, Israeli shipudiya style
Michael Solomonov's skewer house grills everything over charcoal and sets down ten salads, hummus and laffa before your skewers even land.
1 hr (30 min chilling), 30 min hands-on · 4 people (8 skewers). Istanbul's ocakbaşı grills hand-chopped lamb with tail fat and red pepper on wide flat skewers over charcoal. Ground lamb with a little extra fat, kneaded well so it holds, gets you there on a home grill or under the broiler.
