In the Dishes page, I have listed some of the items that I enjoy cooking. It might be a little daunting to order for someone who does not know the food intimately.

Here are some example menus for dinners and their prices. You are not limited to these few, nor do you have to order the exact stuff in the menu. It is your dinner, you can have it any way you like.

The prices are subject to change based on the prices of the ingredients, or the numbers that are ordered. I will always call and let you know how much it will cost before I purchase anything.

The minimum order is for four people.

This was a very hard menu to come up with, because sarma and dolma are very complete themselves, it is hard to find something to complement them. So I decided not to...

Total Cost for 4: $50

Soup: Mercimek Corbasi
