CUISINE
At Alihan's, meals are prepared the same way our family used to cook at our restaurant in Istanbul: all-natural, fresh, and from ingredients of the best quality.

Alihan grew up in his father's kitchen where he learned everything naturally by observing, tasting, and loving food. At that time, he had no idea that one day he would become a chef himself.

Just like his father, Alihan puts his heart into everything he does.

See why Alihan's guests LOVE the cuisine

At Alihan's no processed foods or preservatives are used to prepare your meals. Only fresh hand-picked vegetables, meats, and seafood of the highest quality make their way into our kitchen.

We use free-range eggs, whole milk, and cream from local grass-fed cows. Even the lemon juice for our house salad dressings is freshly squeezed and never from concentrate.

ALL NATURAL & fresh ingredients

01
When it comes to preparing authentic Mediterranean meals, spices are essential. Traditional red crushed pepper from the city of Kahramanmaras used for Turkish kebabs can't be replaced with any other.

That is why at Alihan's we do not compromise and purchase all our spices from an original Turkish supplier.

SPICES imported from Turkey

02
Nothing beats the taste of a fine homemade dessert with a short list of natural ingredients. That's exactly how we make them - from scratch in our kitchen, just like at home. Some of them cannot be prepared in advance and are cooked upon your order.

At Alihan's we offer a great variety of traditional Turkish desserts for an authentic experience, as well as something special for our vegan guests and Italian dessert lovers.

HOUSE-MADE desserts

03
All our meat and poultry are sourced locally from trusted halal suppliers.

We truly believe that freshness is the key. That's why we carefully maintain our meat and poultry inventory and shop small to ensure it is never frozen.

Whether you choose to eat vegan or have any allergies, we provide you with a whole selection of options.

Ask your server for a gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, or dairy-free menu.
