Frequently Asked Questions
What comes with the traditional Turkish breakfast spread?
The signature serpme kahvaltı is a multi-plate feast featuring warm bread, cheeses, olives, honey with thick kaymak, eggs, and freshly brewed Turkish tea, with options like sujuk eggs or menemen.
Should you make a reservation before visiting?
Yes. Because the venue gets very busy, especially on weekends, booking your table in advance or arriving early is recommended, though staff also make efforts to seat walk-in diners.
How generous are the breakfast portions?
Portions are generous and served banquet-style for sharing. Diners note that sharing a breakfast spread for two or three easily leaves groups completely satisfied.
