FAMILY TRADITIONS

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

ALL NATURAL & fresh ingredients

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.

01

SPICES imported from Turkey

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.

02

HOUSE-MADE desserts

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.

03

HALAL
meat & poultry

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.

04

Something
for EVERYONE

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.

UNIQUE HOUSE DRINKS
It's the time of the year when you want to hide under a blanket by a fireplace and drink a hot, comforting beverage. Come to Alihan's to fulfill this image:

~ Hot Caramel Latté from our machine that grinds the coffee beans fresh for each serving and froths organic milk for the perfect smooth combination.

~ Mocha Latté doesn't disappoint with its pleasing chocolate flavor.

~ Turkish Coffee wouldn't be a Turkish coffee if it didn't have a thick foam on top, fine coffee grounds on the bottom, and wouldn't be served in a unique Turkish coffee cup.

HOUSE-BAKED BREAD
We bet you have never thought of bread to be something particularly worth tasting.

Our homemade Turkish bread is so good that our guests often fill up on bread before their entrées come to the table. Crispy and flavorful on the outside, soft and satisfying on the inside.

We bake our bread daily: always ready to serve each table or accompany take-out orders. Also, now you can buy a loaf or two to take home.

Tip: try this bread with our house dip made of black olives, spices, and walnuts.

TEA DONE RIGHT
Turkish tea - Çay - is a big chapter of our restaurant's story: the tea we serve comes from the city of Rize where our family has a huge tea garden. All owners of tea gardens put the harvested tea leaves together, process them, package them and sell them around the world. Profit goes back to the community.

The brewing process requires a special teapot called Çaydanlık that makes the authentic taste of Turkish tea.

A glass of freshly brewed tea is always ready.
