Istanbul Hawaii

Every object on our sofra carries a story. A copper pot shaped by hands that spent decades at the forge. A ceramic plate painted by hands carrying generations of knowledge. Some come from workshops across Türkiye. Others are crafted by local and contemporary artisans.

We gather them together because they speak the same language: The language of hands, patience, and time.

Long before a meal reaches the table, someone has already left a piece of themselves in the things you are holding.


 
 
 


Every family has a dish that feels like coming home. Our Palace Tagine carries that feeling.

Jidori chicken · fennel pollen · kula orange · lemon blossom oil · warm saffron rice · time

A dish born from the belief that there should always be more than enough for one more guest, one more story, and one more bite.

The quiet comfort of knowing nobody leaves the table wanting.

A tasting menu by &

Before recipes were written down, they lived in our mothers’ hands.

A pinch without measuring. A taste from a wooden spoon. A dish made so many times it became memory.

Created in collaboration, this menu brings together Chef Mark’s memories of his mother and Hawai‘i’s family tables with Chef Nili’s Anatolian traditions, passed from one generation to the next.

Each course is a place. Each place is a memory. Together, they form a small map of the landscapes we carry within us.
