FROM MALATYA TO ISTANBUL · SINCE 1985
Rooted in Malatya.The soul of Anatolia.
The memory of a city. The character of a cuisine.
At Çakı, flavour carries the story forward.
EVERY STORY HAS A BEGINNING
Ours began in Malatya.
THE SAME CARE.
FROM OUR ROOTS TO THE PRESENT
More than
a name.
Çakı first opened in Malatya in 1985, welcoming guests for nearly a decade. When we moved to Istanbul, we left our first home in Malatya behind.
Our name came with us. Today, we bring the familiar flavours of Anatolia to Istanbul, with a contemporary approach to the kitchen.

INSIDE OUR KITCHENBEHIND THE FLAVOUR
Fine ingredients.
The right heat.
Craftsmanship.
Sometimes, the secret to flavour is knowing when to stop.
Knowing the ingredients. Understanding the fire.
Giving every plate the same care.
A DAY AT ÇAKI
Make room for flavour.
And a moment for yourself.
Daylight, a quiet corner, a conversation that lingers.
A place with its own rhythm, in the heart of Istanbul.
A good meal,
a moment well spent.
IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF ANATOLIA
One kitchen.
Countless stories.
The aroma of the oven. A familiar taste.
A touch of Anatolia on every plate.
Malatya-style
cheese flatbread.
Lahmacun.
Milk halva.
From our roots. Carried forward at Çakı.

Stories from our kitchen.
AFTER THE MEAL
A little conversation.
Stay a little longer.
There is more to savour after the last bite.
A cup of coffee. A dessert to share.
And a conversation with no need to rush.
Sometimes, the best pause in the day is a meal that lasts a little longer.
