Do you have an English menu?

Yes. Scan the QR code on your table for the full menu in English or Turkish, with prices you can view in euros, dollars, pounds or dirhams. Halal, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes are marked, and every dish lists its allergens.

Can I book a table on WhatsApp?

Yes. Tap the WhatsApp button on our menu page and a booking message is written for you in your language. We usually reply within 15 minutes during opening hours. Garden tables go first at weekends, so message a day ahead.

All our meat and chicken comes from halal-certified suppliers, and dishes are marked halal on the menu. We don't serve pork. We don't serve alcohol either, so the café is comfortable for families and visitors who prefer an alcohol-free place.

How do I get there from the metro?

Take the M2 metro to Osmanbey and use the Halaskargazi exit. Walk north for about five minutes; we're the green door next to the pharmacy. The garden is at the back, through the café.
