Abuzer Kadayif Bici Bici

Abuzer Kadayif Bici Bici is a long-established Adana dessert stall in the Kurtulus neighbourhood of Seyhan, specialising in bici bici and kadayif — two of the city's most iconic sweets. Bici bici is an Adana original with few parallels elsewhere in Turkey: a chilled dessert made from starch cooked with rosewater, set into a soft gel, then served in a bowl finished with coloured sweet syrup and sherbet. The result is a pale-pink, refreshingly cold sweet that has become one of the most photographed food items in Adana and is essentially mandatory for warm-weather visits to the city.

The kadayif side of the menu features tas kadayif — shredded wheat pastry soaked in syrup, often served with cream — and rende buz, a shaved-ice sweet drink or topping that complements the stall's cold-dessert focus. Karakus, a nut-and-syrup confection, rounds out the menu and provides a denser, richer alternative for those who want something less iced. The stall operates year-round but its appeal peaks from late spring through early autumn, when Adana's heat — the city regularly records some of the highest summer temperatures in Turkey — creates intense demand for cold sweets.

The stall's Kurtulus location in central Seyhan places it within easy walking distance of the city's main commercial and cultural streets. The format is traditional: a counter, pre-made sweets in a refrigerated display and quick service at pavement pace. No reservations, no seating in the conventional sense, and cash-based transactions are the norm. Prices run between TRY 90 and 200 per portion (approximately USD 2–4). On summer afternoons, queues form quickly and portions of fresh bici bici can sell out. Regulars advise arriving in the morning or early evening to avoid the midday peak.
