About Marmara

This Windsor staple anchors Chapel Street with generous Turkish feasts built around warm, stone-baked bread and smoky charcoal grills. Families and large parties pack the tables for multi-course banquets of tender lamb skewers, charred kofta, and generous dip spreads. Tables share glasses of imported Turkish wine alongside bubbling clay pots and comforting Iskender before winding down over hot glasses of Turkish tea.

  • Feast-Worthy Banquets: Multi-course spreads feature dip selections, refills of stone-baked bread, skewers, and traditional sweets.
  • Imported Turkish Wine: One of Chapel Street's rare spots pouring imported Turkish wines by the glass alongside Turkish dining.
  • Halal-Certified Meats: All grilled meats and dishes are sourced exclusively from Halal-certified suppliers.

    Iskender. My first time trying sliced meat with a tomato based sauce. Delicious and hearty while the meat was so moist. I would get this dish again!

  • Kadaif

    Kadaif was the perfect finisher. The incredibly thin, thread-like shredded pastry dough was light tasting and left us (somehow) feeling lighter.
