Our Turkish Grills

Chicken Shish — $27.12

Shish means skewer in Turkish, and this is the format that made Turkish grilling famous. Marinated chicken pieces are threaded onto a long metal skewer and cooked over high heat until the outside takes on colour and char while the inside stays tender and juicy. One of the most-ordered items on this menu and a solid entry point if you are eating Turkish food for the first time. Clean, direct and properly done.

Adana Chicken Kebab — $27.12

Adana takes its name from the southern Turkish city known for its bold, heat-forward cooking. This version uses minced chicken packed with red pepper flakes and herbs, pressed firmly around a flat metal skewer and grilled over direct heat until slightly charred on the outside. The result is a long, spiced kebab with more heat and character than a plain shish the Adana logic applied to chicken. A better order than a standard chicken kebab if you want something with actual flavor. 

Adana Lamb — $27.92

The original Adana. Minced lamb loaded with red pepper, herbs and fat, pressed tightly around a flat metal skewer and grilled at high heat. The lamb fat renders through the cook, the red pepper builds heat, and the char from the grill pulls it all together. This is the most character-forward item in the grill section. If you have eaten generic kebab around Singapore and wondered what was missing, this is the answer. Order it once and the comparison becomes obvious.

Beef Shish — $27.92

Cubed beef marinated, skewered and cooked over high heat until properly seared on the outside and juicy through the centre. A grill-section staple that rewards good sourcing and a correctly run fire. At $27.92 it sits at the same price as the lamb shish, so the choice comes down to preference beef gives you a firmer bite with a stronger sear, lamb gives you more fat and depth. 

Lamb Shish — $27.92

Cubed lamb on a skewer, cooked over direct heat. Unlike adana where fat is distributed through minced meat, lamb shish keeps the fat naturally in the whole cubes the pieces baste themselves as they cook. The result is firmer and more substantial than adana, less spiced, with a clean lamb flavour that stands on its own. Both are worth ordering but they are not the same dish.

Lamb Chop — $35.92

The premium item on this menu at $35.92. Bone-in lamb chop, grilled to order. The fat cap renders as it cooks, the meat stays tender through the centre, and the bone concentrates flavour in a way that boneless lamb cannot replicate. If you are searching for lamb chop in Singapore at a halal restaurant and wondering where the quality sits, this is a direct answer. It is the most expensive item in the grill section and it earns that position.

Salmon Shish — $27.92

Salmon pieces threaded onto a skewer and grilled at high heat. The exterior chars slightly while the interior holds its moisture and natural fat. A well-grilled salmon shish is nothing like a baked or steamed fillet direct heat changes the texture entirely and produces something that holds its own on a Turkish grill plate alongside the meat options. A strong choice for a mixed table or if you prefer fish over red meat.

Eggplant Kebab Lamb — $30.32

Patlıcan kebabı is the Turkish eggplant kebab a dish built on the combination of grilled lamb and roasted eggplant on the same plate. The eggplant (patlıcan in Turkish) is cooked until soft and deeply smoky, creating a base that pairs with the lamb in a way plain rice cannot. It is one of the more interesting items in this section and the kind of dish that does not appear at most halal restaurants in Singapore. At $30.32, the price reflects the complexity.

Izgara Lamb — $27.92

Izgara means grilled in Turkish. Izgara köfte are seasoned minced lamb patties typically flavoured with onion, parsley, cumin and red pepper shaped by hand and cooked directly on the grill grate rather than on a skewer. The flat shape maximises contact with the heat and produces a proper caramelised crust on both sides. This is a different plate from adana: less spice-forward, more focused on the char and the lamb itself. It is also Zuzu's most-searched grill item in Singapore based on current organic data, which says something about the quality.

Izgara Chicken Kofte — $27.12

The chicken version of the izgara köfte. Same shaped-and-grilled format, leaner result. Because chicken has less fat than lamb, the seasoning and cooking technique carry more of the work a well-executed izgara chicken köfte should have a charred exterior with a moist, properly seasoned centre. A strong order if you prefer chicken but want the texture and char of a real Turkish grill rather than a plain chicken kebab. ⚠️ Confirm seasonings and accompaniments before publishing.

Beyti Chicken — $23.19

Beyti kebab is named after Beyti Güler, the Istanbul restaurateur who built his reputation around this dish. Minced chicken seasoned with garlic, herbs and spice is formed around a skewer and grilled, then wrapped tightly in thin lavash bread and served with tomato sauce and yogurt. It is a complete assembled plate not a kebab with sides, but a dish where the wrap, sauce and yogurt are part of the cooking, not optional extras. At $23.19 it is the most accessible entry point in the grill section.

Beyti Lamb — $23.92

The lamb version of the beyti. The minced lamb carries more fat through the cook than the chicken, which makes the final wrapped dish richer and more satisfying. The logic of the beyti grilled meat, lavash, tomato sauce, yogurt works better with lamb if you are eating it for the first time. Order this version before trying the chicken.

Eggplant Kebab Chicken — $30.32

The chicken version of the patlıcan kebabı. Same format roasted eggplant and grilled kebab on the same plate but lighter, with the leaner chicken pairing differently against the smoky eggplant base. The chicken cooks faster in this format, which shifts the balance between the two components slightly. A good order if you want the complexity of the eggplant kebab without the lamb.

Chicken Wing Platter — $27.12

Turkish-marinated chicken wings grilled until properly charred on the outside and cooked through. A platter format means it arrives ready to share the natural choice as a starter for a table before the main grill items land, or as a standalone order in its own right. The wings carry direct grill heat rather than oven-baked heat, which makes a real difference to the skin texture.

What is izgara in Turkish cooking?

At Zuzu, izgara dishes like the Izgara Lamb and Izgara Chicken Kofte are seasoned minced meat patties shaped by hand and cooked directly on the grill grate rather than on a skewer.

Beyti kebab is named after Beyti Güler, the Istanbul restaurateur who built his name around this dish. Minced seasoned meat lamb or chicken is grilled on a skewer, then wrapped tightly in lavash bread and served with tomato sauce and yogurt.

Zuzu serves both Beyti Chicken at $23.19 and Beyti Lamb at $23.92, the most accessible entry points in the grill section.

What is the difference between shish and adana kebab?

Shish uses cubed whole meat threaded onto a skewer chicken, beef or lamb and grilled over high heat. Adana uses minced meat packed with red pepper and herbs, pressed tightly around a flat skewer and cooked at intense heat. The texture, spice level and fat distribution are completely different.
