Zara
Turkish kitchen and charcoal grill, at five houses across New York.
From the first glass of tea at breakfast to the last plate of künefe at night, we cook the food of Anatolia the way it is cooked at home.
Since Chef Ramazan Avci opened the first Zara on Hylan Boulevard
From the mangal
Adana, shish and köfte, cooked over real charcoal.
The mezze table
Hummus, babaganush, ezme and tabule, made by hand each day.
After dinner
Künefe, baklava and a cup of Turkish coffee.
