What's a Turkish wrap called?

I had one with all veggies, though they also had chicken+mushrooms, and stuff with cheese. I can't remember the name, but it had about 7 characters and looked something like gomeme, though it's definitely not spelled like that. 69.22.242.15 (talk) 19:26, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Falafel is 7 letters, but spelled nothing like the word you proposed. Note that "falafel" refers either to what looks like meatballs, or to a wrap like you describe. StuRat (talk) 19:31, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dürüm or Yufka, maybe? --Stephan Schulz (talk) 19:59, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Shawarma maybe? It's not Turkish, but still Eastern Mediterranean. Other similar wraps include Gyros which are Greek. Wikipedia also has an article on Turkish cuisine which may be helpful; Turkish cuisine has some overlap with neighboring areas as well, such as the Levant or Greece. --Jayron 32 20:12, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind all that. I think found it. Is it Gözleme? Almost the same spelling, seven letters, wrapped food (actually, more of a pasty than a wrap, but certainly on the continuum between the two). I'd bet it's something like that. --Jayron 32 20:21, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bingo. Thank you. 69.22.242.15 (talk) 01:41, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
