Formerly named Lisa’s Turkish Kitchen, in 2012, owner Lisa Mayisoglu relocated the restaurant one block east to Oak Street,rebranded the name and expanded the menu to appeal to a wider audience. With the current space has come a new partnership; younger sister Selma Sozen is Co-Owner and General Manager, and Ms. Mayisoglu has assumed the role as Chef.

To commemorate the anniversary, Chef Lisa has created a list of specials inspired by her days growing up in Ankara, Turkey. Said Mayisoglu, “It’s such an honor to share our cuisine and culture with the local community. To know my customers enjoy food that’s not only healthy but also delicious, brings a smile to my face. My work is truly a labor of love.” Highlights of the celebratory specials include:
