Owner Fahri Ozdil hails from Adana, Turkey, and brings with him over 40 years of experience in hospitality and food service. After working as a chef for 3 years on a cross-continental cruise, Fahri landed in the United States. A series of turns brought him to the Cincinnati area, where Fahri opened his first restaurant in Anderson township in 2008. He then relocated to a spot in downtown Blue Ash, after which he finally moved to our current location in Hyde Park.

Fahri is proud to refer to our menu as ‘real food,’ loaded with authentic Turkish flavors that appease the appetite of everyone that walks through our doors. His philosophy around cooking is simple: food should be fresh and full of flavor, and it will make your soul sing with joy. Our menu, as crafted by Fahri, is full of dishes that take hours and days of a labor of love, and the result is food that tastes complex, delicious, and satisfying. If you ask him how anything is prepared, he will always say the most important ingredient is Turkish love.
