Antep-Style Lahmacun Now in New Jersey!

Mediterranean Flatbread, which brings Turkish cuisine's beloved flavors to the oven in New Jersey, this time draws attention with Antep-style garlic lahmacun, one of Gaziantep cuisine's staples.

The new flavor at the Cliffside Park establishment is offered in an unconventional way: Lahmacun is not on the regular menu; it is prepared as a 'secret menu' option that only those who know can order.

ABDPost New York Representative Özlem Özgüt Yörekli also experienced this hidden flavor on site and tasted the Antep-style lahmacun.

Antep-Style Lahmacun Enters the Secret Menu

The new lahmacun added to the menu by Mediterranean Flatbread owner Steve Bey carries the characteristic features of the Antep style. While a minced meat filling is prepared on the thin, crisp dough, garlic is also used as one of the decisive elements of flavor.

However, customers who visit the establishment cannot see this item on the menu. The product, prepared for those who know and specifically want the Antep-style garlic lahmacun, has entered the venue's 'secret menu', i.e., its hidden menu options.

The U.S. Post New York representative Özlem Özgüt Yörekli, who sampled the lahmacun, also highlighted the dough’s thinness, crispness, and the richness of the minced‑meat filling.

Yörekli said, ‘Full, full, it’s not that kind of lahmacun where they crush onions. You can also feel the minced meat. The garlic really fits perfectly. Crispy, thin dough.’

Garlic Flavor Elevates to a Higher Level

One of the most distinctive features that sets the Antep‑style lahmacun apart from classic varieties is garlic. When combined with the minced‑meat filling, garlic imparts a richer, more characteristic aroma to the lahmacun.

Yörekli also noted during the tasting that the Antep style is a favorite, stating that garlic elevates the lahmacun’s flavor to an ‘extra level.’

Thus, Mediterranean Flatbread’s new product has become a new option not only for those seeking a taste different from classic lahmacun but also for those in the U.S. longing for Gaziantep‑style lahmacun.

Lahmacun: Many Different Options

Mediterranean Flatbread, operating in Cliffside Park, actually offers a wide range of lahmacun products. Alongside the classic meat‑rich lahmacun, they also serve za'atar, spinach‑cheese, sausage‑cheese, pastırma, and vegan options.

One of the points the business emphasizes is the dough and the flour used. Mr. Steve, in previous statements to the U.S. Post, noted that they use non‑GMO, un‑bleached, chemical‑free, less‑processed flour in their products. By avoiding strong leavening agents, they aim to produce a thinner, denser, and crispier dough.

Ramadan Bread Is Baked Every Day of the Year

Another standout product from Mediterranean Flatbread is the Ramadan pide. The pide, which is largely associated with the month of Ramadan in Turkey, is prepared at the establishment year‑round.

The menu is not limited to that. They also offer Kayseri‑style mantı, various pizza varieties, and products that give traditional flavors like Nutella‑filled tulumba a fresh twist, all presented to customers.

Some products such as lahmacun, Ramazan pide, and mantı are also sold frozen. This allows shipments not only to customers in New Jersey and its surroundings but also to those living in other states.

In the region where Armenian, Korean, Spanish, Italian, Arab, and Turkish communities live, Mediterranean Flatbread, which caters to diverse palates, now brings a more regional flavor of Turkish cuisine to New Jersey with its Antep-style garlic lahmacun.

However, those who want to try this lahmacun need to know a small detail: instead of searching the menu, they should request 'Antep-style garlic lahmacun' directly.
