Best Hibeş in Antalya

Hibeş is Antalya's unique and fiery contribution to the Turkish meze table, a thick dip made primarily from tahini, garlic, and a blend of spices. Its defining character comes from the balance of the nutty tahini with sharp lemon juice and a generous amount of hot red pepper and cumin. Unlike many other Turkish dips, Hibeş is intensely flavored and serves as a versatile accompaniment for everything from grilled meats to simple bread. It is a mandatory part of any traditional Antalya 'Meze spread' and is particularly popular in the city's historic meyhanes. For the local palate, a meal is often considered incomplete without the presence of this spicy, creamy staple.
