Lahmajun (“meat with thin dough”) is a round, thin piece of dough topped with minced meat (most commonly beef or lamb) and minced vegetables and herbs including onions, tomatoes and parsley, then baked. Lahmacun is often served with ayran or algam and wrapped around vegetables, including pickles, tomatoes, peppers, onions, lettuce, and roasted eggplant.

Lahmacun is a popular dish in Armenia, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, and in Armenian and Turkish communities worldwide. The dish has existed for thousands of years but has become much more popular over the last few decades. The dish is sometimes known as “Turkish or Armenian pizza”.
