My late husband and I were in from the beginning of Zeugma. Now, many yrs later, the many outstanding experiences, it’s hard to rate any one factor above the others. The food of course is superb! The service! The beauty of the surroundings. But above ALL, it is the friends we made— some have moved on — some remain — some to be made! Zeugma treats us as family. 🙌🏼🙌🏾 A special haven of bliss. Thank you, Can, Bork, Bola, Johan and I’ll never forget Matt and Elif. Apologies to those not named here!

Excellent food as always, Chef came to table to explain certain things server could not. Pork chop is not to be missed; it’s the only restaurant I trust with that dish!
