Mahir Lokantasi
Osmanbey
Beloved lokanta serving exceptional Eastern Turkish cuisine since generations
Street flavors reimagined with fine dining sensibility
At this down-to-earth eatery, conviviality and honest cooking set the tone. You can see the chefs prepare everything from scratch in the open kitchen, from the brioche to the dressings, which is instantly reassuring. Chef Kursat Arit reimagines street food with a fine dining approach - beans simmered in creamy meat jus with yoghurt and roast beef, or a street food-style sandwich with grilled mackerel, spiced mayonnaise and beetroot. There are so many options, and you can even take some dishes away. This is easygoing dining with personality at prices that are hard to beat.
Michelin Selected 2024. Chef Kursat Arit. Open kitchen. Street food elevated to fine dining. Asian side gem.
