Masum Mutfak (Innocent Kitchen), an increasingly urban initiative, falls into what we eat in order to stay away from food choices that not only impact ourselves, but the world around us.

We serve food produced without harming the ecological balance, and without pesticides and preservatives used. We are an organic vegetarian restaurant with vegan-friendly options.
