This cacık is cool and refreshing. It has crunchy cucumber and the flavor of dill, with a nicely soured yogurt. It's like a palate cleanser, totally changing the flavor in your mouth.

    A classic lokanta serving home-style Turkish dishes, with an incredible karniyarik that melts in your mouth.

    Dishes mentioned

    • Karniyarik

      This karniyarik is incredible. The eggplant is so juicy and creamy, it just falls apart and melts off the spoon. It has absorbed all the oil and meat juice, making it incredibly tasty. You don't even need to chew; it totally dissolves in your mouth. It's fluffy and soft, and the combination with rice is perfect.

    • Etli Güveç

      This beef stew is really hearty and meaty. It's cooked with tomatoes and peppers, and you really taste the flavor of the peppers. It has a nice tartness from the tomatoes and is served with a little bit of mashed potatoes on the side.

    • Enginar

      This artichoke heart is a seasonal special. It's incredibly soft and tender, almost as creamy as the eggplant. It's cooked with carrots, potatoes, onions, and dill. The flavor of olive oil and dill is really nice. It's very mild and creamy, a symbol of spring in Turkey.

    • Cacık

      This cacık is cool and refreshing. It has crunchy cucumber and the flavor of dill, with a nicely soured yogurt. It's like a palate cleanser, totally changing the flavor in your mouth.
