Assyrian cuisine

Assyrian cuisine reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Assyrian people, originating from ancient Mesopotamia. It features a variety of dishes that often use lamb, chicken, and fish, complemented by grains, vegetables, and aromatic spices. Staples include rice, bulgur, and flatbreads, often served with stews or grilled meats. Traditional dishes like kebab, dolma (stuffed vegetables), and various yogurt-based preparations are common. Fresh herbs and spices, such as coriander and cinnamon, enhance flavors. Assyrian meals are often communal, emphasizing hospitality and shared family traditions, making the cuisine both flavorful and deeply meaningful.
