Best Tire meatballs in Toronto

“Grilled thin as a pen on skewers, their essence revealed by village butter in the sauce.”

Tire meatballs

What the real thing tastes like

Tire meatballs, which are peculiar to the Tire district of İzmir Province, Turkey, are grilled with a thickness of a pen on thin skewers. No spices other than salt are used in its minced meat; and the meatballs are served with a buttery tomato sauce. The essential taste of Tire meatballs is revealed by the village butter used in its sauce. These meatballs, also known as Delikli (drilled) meatballs and Tire Kebab in the public are served by putting fresh parsley on them. Optionally, Tire meatballs may also be served with yoghurt.

Tire meatballs arrive paper-thin on skewers, grilled until they develop a delicate crust that gives way to seasoned meat — salt is their only companion. The real magic lives in the buttery tomato sauce, where village butter carries the weight of the dish, its richness settling into every bite. Fresh parsley crowns them, and if you want it, a cool spoonful of yogurt cuts through the warmth.
