Calories: 375 calories in a 1 skewer serving of Kebabs Adana Kebab

Authentic origin of the Adana Kebab is from eastern Anatolia.
Spicey ground lamb that is grilled with big vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, and onions.
Its been said that in the times of Marco Polo on the Silk Road route, that Asiatic spices was most popular with the Venetians. 
Eastern Anatolia enjoyed more spicey foods.
 May be where they got their interest in hotter spices during this medival time. 
The port nearby Ayas was the place where trades of spices and wares occured.  


The region has been inhabited since prehistoric times, and some of the remnants of the Hittite, Phrygian, and Greek periods are still visible. 
The town was settled by Oghuz tribes in the eleventh century, and later it came under Byzantine rule. 
In the 16th century, Sanjak Turks came into the area, and eventually it became a part of the Ottoman Empire.
