Cuisine & Menu
Owned and operated by the same family since 1978, Alasya Turkish Restaurant has strived to reflect the rich and varied number of Turkish dishes in its menu. Over the years we have continued to expand our range of dishes to mirror the broad variety of foods found in the Traditional Turkish Kitchen. What has not changed, however, is the insistence that all our foods be prepared the traditional way and using only the freshest of ingredients.
