Flavors of Aleppo: The Irresistible Cherry Kebab

Cherry kebab, known as “Kabab Bekaraz,” is one of the most beloved and unique dishes, and it’s a true representation of Aleppian cuisine. What makes this dish stand out is the way it blends the rich, savory taste of meat with the sweet and tangy flavor of cherries. The heart of cherry kebab lies in its tender slices of meat, grilled perfectly over charcoal to keep their natural juices and flavor intact.

What really takes cherry kebab to the next level is the traditional cherry sauce drizzled on top of the meat, giving it an unforgettable taste. It’s often served with puffed rice or toasted bread, adding an extra layer of texture and flavor to the meal.

More than just a tasty dish, cherry kebab is a reflection of Halabi heritage, preserving its authentic and distinctive roots. Whether you try it at home or at one of Aleppo’s traditional restaurants, enjoying cherry kebab is a memorable experience that brings together the rich flavors and cultural beauty of the East.
