The Lowdown
If you’re a regular in Poznań and a fan of the late-night kebab runs, you’ve probably noticed that the kebab scene here is a battle of the big names, with competition fiercer than ever. But if you’re looking to break free from the usual Polish-owned kebab joints and dive into something with real Turkish roots, Enfes Kebab on Święty Marcin is a spot to check out.
Now, we all know that a kebab is a kebab, but if it’s run by people who literally grew up eating this stuff, it’s gotta hit differently, right? So, we popped in to Enfes hunting for something that stood out from the usual fast-food fare. And guess what? We found it. The İskender Kebab—a Turkish classic that you won’t find everywhere in Poznań.
The İskender Kebab
For those not in the know, İskender is not your standard kebab wrap. We’re talking sliced döner kebab meat on top of bread, generously doused in hot tomato sauce, and then smothered in melted sheep’s milk butter (yes, you heard that right) and topped with a dollop of yogurt. The combo of the rich, buttery sauce and the tangy yogurt on the meat hits the spot . It’s served up with a side of fries and rice, making it an absolute beast of a meal—one for the seriously hungry. This dish is the heart and soul of Enfes, and hands down, it’s what you gotta try.
Big props to the owner for stepping up and bringing something new to the table instead of just following the herd. The İskender Kebab is the real star here, and it gives you that authentic Turkish vibe that’s hard to find in other kebab joints around Poznań.
The Quick Grab
Now, if you’re in a rush and need a takeaway, Enfes also does a decent Bulka with Beef, but honestly, it’s pretty much what you’d expect from a kebab joint. Nothing groundbreaking, but it’ll hit the spot if you’re after something familiar. For a more practical, less messy option, go for the Kebab Box (with beef or chicken). I went with the beef, but I know the Polish love their chicken, so no judgment here. The box comes with fries and is way easier to carry around, making it a solid choice for a grab-and-go meal.
The Soup
We also couldnt resist a bowl of traditional Mercimek soup—a Turkish staple made with red lentils. One sip, and it’s smooth, earthy, and lightly spiced, with a bright kick of lemon to top it off. Turkish comfort food.
The Treat
The owner hooked us up with some real-deal Turkish baklava—crispy layers of pastry stacked with pistachios and soaked in syrup. One bite, and boom! It’s buttery, nutty, sweet, and hits like dessert heaven. Classic vibes.
The Bottom Line
Enfes Kebab has only been open for a month, so they’re still finding their rhythm in the Poznań market, but trust me, this place has legs. Expect to see new items popping up on the menu as they settle in. But for now, the İskender Kebab alone is a reason to stop by. In a city where kebabs can start to feel like the same ol’ thing, it’s nice to have a fresh option that adds some excitement to the mix. For lazy people you can order online here
