Cuisine
In Osmaniye culture, holiday preparations begin with the smell of kombe. These cookies, prepared using a special 'kombe spice' (cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, mahaleb), are shaped with wooden kombe molds. Although it has spread to the southern provinces of Türkiye, the Osmaniye style has a crispier texture.
If you want to taste the ones baked in traditional ovens over a wood fire, you can visit the historical stone ovens in the city center using the Map.
