Knock this door: Where should you try Turkish cuisine?

There are two things we cannot resist in this world – Turkish TV series and Turkish cuisine. And breaking with one or the other is almost impossible.

Submit all the codes and appearances and where is the real kebab, try baklava and drink Turkish coffee.

Cihan Turkish Steak & Kebab

Arkady Novikov’s restaurant, Cihan Turkish Steak & Kebab, has two branches in Novy Arbat and Khamovniki. Although dishes from different regions of Turkey are prepared here, it mainly specializes in steaks. The menu has more than 20 varieties: from the most classic to alternative ones.

Of course, you should definitely get baklava for dessert here. It’s true, it’s called baklava on the menu, but three flavors are served at once with different fillings.

Addresses: Moscow, st. New Arbat, 21 // Komsomolsky prospect, 21/10

“Confusion”

Bardak Cafe is the favorite place of those who love Turkish coffee prepared in the sand. The place itself is located in Kitay-gorod and the atmosphere is very reminiscent of the European side of Istanbul. The menu includes the main national Turkish dishes: from pide (read: stuffed boats) to kebabs.

But traditional desserts are served with freshly brewed coffee – künefe, syutlach and baklava. In general, Turkey is at home with us – nothing else.

Address: Moscow, st. Maroseyka, 6/8, building 1

Loomi

At the end of February, a new eastern restaurant opened in Neglinnaya Loomi. The menu includes popular dishes of Israeli, Lebanese and Turkish cuisine. Appetizers and salads with olives are served in appetizers, and meatballs and kebabs are served in hot meals.

The interior is an outlet for all lovers of oriental culture. There are traditional patterns on the walls and luxurious green crystal chandeliers on the ceilings.

Address: Moscow, st. Neglinnaya, 8/10

Meat Money

Meat Coin is a meat restaurant with the best of Turkish traditions. Golden steaks are cooked here and every serving puts on a real show. Turkish chef Mehmet Chalyshkan, a butcher from Istanbul, is in charge of the kitchen. He cuts the meat right at your table and even feeds it from his hand if you wish.

Both in Moscow and St. Petersburg has Meat Coin restaurants. And if you suddenly find yourself in the city of suspension bridges, be sure to visit the country club of the restaurant in Komarovo. But remember that there is strict face control.

Addresses: Moscow, Smolenskaya square, 5

St. Petersburg, st. Rubinshteina, 4 // Primorskoye Highway, 466.

“Afternoon”

Those who are not used to getting up very early should definitely check out Noon Cafe. Only breakfasts are prepared and served here all day long. An ideal place for those who are accustomed to not being in a hurry in general.

Menu in a cafe with European-Turkish cuisine. Here you can try Turkish eggs with curd cheese, national sweets and signature drinks. And if the menu still somehow carries oriental motifs, then the interior certainly does not. Inside, there are minimalist gray-beige tones, a spiral staircase and even a record player.

Address: Moscow, Chistoprudny Blvd., 23, building 1
