Industrial-chic grill house with Bib Gourmand recognition
Ahmet Ustam Ocakbasi brings traditional Turkish grill culture to the modern Maslak business district with style and substance. Founded by Ahmet Karoglu to share his years of experience in the food sector, the restaurant has earned Michelin Bib Gourmand for good quality, good value cooking. The industrial-chic design blends with modern elements while the open kitchen lets you watch the chefs work their magic over the charcoal. Offal dishes stand out - spicy tomato salad, thick cacik, Adana kebab, mini meat skewers, chicken wings, and sweetbreads showcase the kitchen's range. Succulent lamb skewers dusted with chili flakes, served alongside flatbread and fresh salad, followed by grilled lamb chops with crispy fat cap, make this a meat lover's dream.
