From İstanbul’s bustling streets to Vancouver’s cozy neighborhoods — we bring the soul of Türkiye to your table with halal ingredients, time-honored techniques, and heartfelt hospitality.
Our journey, born out of a passion for authentic Turkish cuisine and a commitment to creating unforgettable dining experiences, began in Northern Cyprus in 1994 and extended to Canada in 2015. During our 10 years of Canadian experience, we successfully operated a restaurant in Richmond Hill, Ontario, from 2015 to 2021.
Since the summer of 2021, we have grown on Toronto's famous Yonge and Danforth Streets, becoming a favorite for those seeking a blend of traditional and modern Turkish flavors. Our philosophy is founded on hospitality, community, and the joy of sharing delicious meals with loved ones.
Now, we are excited to bring our distinctive Turkish flavors and unique family recipes to Vancouver. We aim to establish a strong presence by infusing the warmth and richness of our cuisine into your city. Our restaurant's journey is an inspiring narrative of our unwavering commitment to authentic flavors and connection to the community.
