Ali Nazik is a dish specific to Gaziantep . Its name comes from the combination of the Arabic words "Âlâ", meaning gentle, and "Nazik", meaning food. It was served to Yavuz Sultan Selim, who happened to be in Gaziantep during the campaign, and he liked the food very much and asked, "Who is this kind-handed?" It is reported that he asked: In fact, it is not a type of kebab .

After roasting, finely chopped eggplants are mixed hot with garlic, strained yoghurt and spices. The minced meat mixture that is roasted before hardening, which is included in this flavor later, is shish meatballs or cubed lamb meat, as in the recipe. Red pepper oil added just before serving.
