Istanbul Hawaii

Istanbul Hawaiʻi begins with a mother and daughter—Chef Nili and Chef Ahu—carrying the flavors and aromas of Anatolia and their Mediterranean hometown of Mersin. In Hawaiʻi, the recipes they grew up with are shaped by the islands’ farms and waters, while remaining unmistakably contemporary Turkish. Their table unfolds through meze, warm bread, vegetables, seafood and fire, joined by expressive cocktails and a cellar of fine Old World wines.
