Ottoman Palace Cuisine Ottoman palace cuisine is an indisputable masterpiece and cultural heritage of Turkey. It combines the best characters from many cultures: Turkish, Arabic, Mediterranean, Balkan, Caucasian and others… Best chefs of the magnificent period, during many centuries, created their culinary masterpieces for the Sultans and their courtiers. Recipes were carefully stored and transmitted from one generation to another! Unfortunately, with the fall of the Ottoman Empire, this unique legacy almost completely disappeared and became oblivious. ⠀ We believe that this is wrong and unfair! And we really want to fix it!!

JuanPosted on Gas10 November 2025Verified Excellent Great place and excellent staff. Everything was good and peaceful place. Local dishes and great service. Special thanks to Emrah!Posted on Зухра К7 November 2025Verified Exceeds all expectations I’ve been here twice, and both times it went above and beyond my expectations. The whole team is fully engaged in what they do, so you can just relax and enjoy the moment. 1. Food Everything is simply delicious. I recommend starting with baba ganoush and muhammara, then trying the veal brisket — absolutely incredible. Each dish feels perfectly balanced, and the flavors stay with you long after the meal. I would happily come back again and again. 2. Atmosphere The place is calm and cozy. No loud music, just soft lights and the pleasant sounds of the kitchen — it creates a warm, relaxed vibe where everyone enjoys their food. 3. Staff All the staff were kind, attentive, smiling, and ready to answer any question about the dishes. It’s not just dinner, it’s a real culinary experience that stays in your memory.Posted on Khalil S7 November 2025Verified Excellent, fascinating and great service! Fantastic experience and with a fascinating cooking class with head chef, Necati Yilmaz! Will definitely return to try his new Hittite menu on our next visit! Service by Harun was so good that we didn’t even need to pour our own water! Thank you to everyone from the Deraliye!
