‘Turkiye’ comes from Turkey (a bit more homely), this is the ancient name of Turkey. ‘Turkiye’restaurant is not just a Turkish restaurant for me, instead it is the vehicle to allow me to share and bring my home town of Istanbul’s’ cuisine and culture to Glasgow.
Starting my career as a chef in a fine dining restaurant in Istanbul for 8 years, my career direction changed when I moved to Glasgow over 10 years now.
Glasgow has accepted me and become my home, however no matter how welcoming the Scottish people have been, there has always been something missing! I’ve come to realise that the missing comfort I have been craving is simply my mum’s outstanding traditional and authentic cooking. Traditional Turkish food remains my favourite cuisine and the main thing I miss about my native home. This is where the initial idea to open a traditional Turkish barbeque restaurant in the heart of the city that has become my home in later years started.
