TL;DR
Menemen and other pan-cooked dishes are made right on the street at many spots in Antalya — just ask the vendor to use less oil and watch the cooking, and it comes out tasty without being greasy.

General street food tip: the quality mostly comes down to fresh ingredients, not fancy cooking technique — simple oven cooking gives a great result if the raw produce is good.

At one street eatery the dish was decent when ordered without oil, but be prepared for wait times — a promised 25-minute wait turned into 50 minutes.
