Olga and Özgür's Turkish-Russian courtyard kitchen — two grandmothers' recipes met in a stone garden under pomegranate and lemon
Babushka — Russian for grandmother — is the small Cumhuriyet Caddesi salon Olga and Özgür opened to bring two family kitchens to the same table. Olga cooks: a long mezze line of beet-and-goat-cheese, eggplant, kabak çiçeği with curry filling, draniki and pelmeni alongside Aegean otlu yumurta, and a milk-pudding programme whose sakız tatlısı is the house signature. The garden is small, shaded by pomegranate and lemon, and stays peaceful in a village that often forgets how. Reservation only, year-round, no buffet, no theatre — just two recipe books and a careful hand.
Ask Olga for the sakız tatlısı and the draniki on the same order; both are ready in the back kitchen. The pomegranate-side tables are the quietest — request them when you book.
