OUR STORY \u00b7 FROM MALATYA TO ISTANBUL<\/p>

One name.
A story to share.<\/em><\/h1>

A journey that began in Malatya in 1985. Today, it continues in Istanbul, with the same name and the same devotion to flavour.<\/p>

A journey of flavour
that began in Malatya.<\/em><\/h2><\/div>

\u00c7ak\u0131 Restaurant's story began in Malatya in 1985. For nearly a decade, guests queued at our door, making it a much-loved meeting place remembered for its flavours.<\/p>

When we moved to Istanbul, our restaurant in Malatya closed, but the \u00c7ak\u0131 name found a new home. Our address changed. The roots of our kitchen stayed with us.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Flavours from our past.
A touch of today.<\/em><\/h2>

We pair the flavours of Anatolian cuisine with a contemporary presentation. The tastes that carry \u00c7ak\u0131's past now become part of new memories in Ba\u015fak\u015fehir.<\/p>

For us, a good meal is an experience that begins in the kitchen and comes to life with our guests. We invite you to be part of the next chapter.<\/p><\/div>DISCOVER OUR RESTAURANT \u2197<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/section>
