Ayşa

Top choice in İzmir


Serving Bosnian food that is remarkably similar to Turkish home cooking, this stylish lokanta (eatery with ready-made food) in the pretty Abacıoğlu Han offers both indoor and outdoor seating. Choose from the DIY meze display and secure a piece of börek (filled pastry) if it's available. Main dishes are displayed in the bain-marie and include both meat and vegetable choices.
