Adana Lamb Kebab in Singapore: Spiced, Minced, Grilled
Adana Lamb at Anatolia is finely minced lamb seasoned with a traditional spice blend, hand-pressed onto skewers and grilled until juicy and aromatic. It's served with fragrant rice and fresh vegetables, it's 100% halal, and it costs S$34.90. Collect it on Arab Street or get it delivered across Singapore, usually within the hour.
Adana isn't just "lamb kebab." It's named after a city in southern Turkey, and the technique is the whole point. Minced lamb, mixed with spices, pressed by hand onto a wide skewer, then grilled over fire. Done right, you get something a sliced kebab can't match: every bite is seasoned the whole way through, juicy in the middle, with a little char on the outside.
What Makes Adana Lamb Different
- It's minced, not chunked, so the spice runs through every bite instead of sitting on the surface.
- Lamb brings a richer, deeper flavour than chicken kebabs.
- It's hand-pressed onto the skewer the traditional way, then grilled over fire.
- It comes with fragrant rice and fresh vegetables, so it's a full plate, not just meat.
- It's 100% halal, same as the rest of the menu.
Taste and Texture
Minced lamb behaves differently to a solid cut. It holds the spice, stays moist, and gives you that soft, almost-melting texture in the middle while the outside picks up colour from the grill. The seasoning is savoury and aromatic rather than one-note. Classic Adana leans peppery, so if you want to know exactly how much heat is in ours, ask when you order and we'll tell you straight.
What's In It
- Finely minced lamb
- Traditional spice blend
- Fragrant rice
- Crisp, fresh vegetables
How It's Made
The lamb is minced, mixed with the spice blend, then pressed by hand along the skewer so it cooks evenly. It goes over the grill to order, not in advance. The aim is simple: cooked through, still juicy, with a bit of char on the edges. Rush it and lamb goes dry, so this is the kind of dish that rewards patience at the grill.
How to Eat It
Eat it hot, with the rice underneath to catch the juices and the vegetables on the side to keep it fresh. Want to build it out? Add a fresh salad like ezme or fattoush, or some warm bread to mop up. A cooling yogurt drink works well against the spice too.
Who It's For
- Lamb lovers who want something with real depth
- Anyone after a hearty halal main near Bugis or Arab Street
- People who already know Adana and want the proper version
- Diners who like a bit of spice in their grill
A Note on Nutrition
This is grilled, not fried, and built on protein-rich lamb with vegetables alongside. Lamb is richer than chicken, so it's a heartier plate.
