Maraş Rack Kebab is a traditional kebab from Maraş made with grilled, bone-in lamb rack and rib pieces. The lamb is the focus, and the exact seasoning and serving style can vary between cooks and restaurants.
Maraş Rack Kebab uses bone-in pieces from the lamb rib and rack area. Ask a butcher for lamb rib or rack portions cut for grilling so the pieces are manageable and cook evenly over the heat.
Maraş Rack Kebab is traditionally grilled over charcoal or another live fire. The bone-in lamb pieces are turned as they cook, allowing the meat to brown without burning; seasoning is usually kept simple so the lamb’s flavor remains prominent.
Maraş Rack Kebab is named for the rack-like row of rib bones in its lamb cut. The bones give the pieces their distinctive shape and make them easy to handle on the grill.
Maraş Rack Kebab is made from whole bone-in lamb rib and rack pieces, while Adana kebab is typically seasoned minced meat shaped around a skewer. Their cuts, textures, and grilling methods are distinctly different.
Maraş Rack Kebab is often served with flatbread, grilled tomatoes and peppers, and a fresh onion or salad accompaniment. A sharp, fresh side helps balance the richness of the lamb without overpowering its grilled flavor.
Yes, Maraş Rack Kebab can be cooked at home under a hot oven broiler or on a barbecue. Arrange the pieces in one layer, turn them during cooking, and keep an eye on the exposed edges so they brown without charring.
Yes, Maraş Rack Kebab is served as bone-in lamb pieces. You can hold a piece by the bone and eat the meat from it, or use a knife and fork to remove the meat at the table.

Maraş Rack Kebab is a traditional kebab from Kahramanmaraş in southeastern Turkey, made by grilling lamb rack and rib pieces over a fire. The bone-in cuts develop a browned exterior while staying juicy, with the rich, distinctive flavour of lamb at the centre of the dish.
It is usually served hot, often with flatbread and a fresh salad; ayran is another familiar accompaniment in Turkey. This is a protein-rich but naturally fatty meat dish, with 23.5 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter meal, keep the portion modest and add salad or grilled vegetables.
