Akdeniz Hatay Sofrasi is a celebrated restaurant in Istanbul, famous for its authentic Hatay cuisine from the southern region of Turkey, where Mediterranean and Middle Eastern culinary influences merge.
The restaurant's menu is a testament to Hatay's rich culinary heritage, featuring a variety of traditional dishes. Among the standout specialties are 'Tuzda Tavuk' and 'Tuzda Kuzu', both of which are exquisite examples of the region's cooking style. Tuzda Tavuk is a unique dish where chicken is encased in salt and slow-cooked to perfection, resulting in incredibly tender and flavorful meat. Tuzda Kuzu offers a similar preparation with lamb, providing a rich and succulent dining experience.
Alongside these specialties, Akdeniz Hatay Sofrasi serves an array of other traditional dishes, including savory kebabs, a variety of mezes, and the famous sweet cheese pastry, Kunefe. The restaurant's ambiance mirrors the warm hospitality of the Hatay region, offering guests an immersive cultural experience.
