Carefully selected dishes of our restaurant’s menu are all homemade, made of fresh hand-picked ingredients, and made up to order. We don’t use any processed foods or preservatives while preparing our meals. All vegetables and meat are of the highest quality, and of course our meat and chicken are halal, fish always fresh, spices imported from far Turkey. We like to keep our food healthy in order to keep fresh, authentic Mediterranean style.
