Japanese · Date Night

Ataturk Avenue, Armutlu

Mori Yaki brings Japanese robata together with the fire memory of the Turkish mangal in a kitchen-led evening format. Premium meat, seafood and warm tsumami carry a clear but controlled charcoal note.

Plant-Forward Dining Editor

For Selin, a strong plant-forward restaurant should build its own culinary language without feeling defined by omission. She considers menu range, seasonality, allergen clarity and how prepared the kitchen is for different needs.
