Welcome

Ottoman Cuisine has reopened in 2024 in our original building in Barton!

Chef and owner Şerif Kaya has been delighting diners at Ottoman Cuisine since 1992 with his highly awarded Turkish food. You don’t have to go to Istanbul to get the best Turkish food, you can get it at Ottoman.


Ottoman Cuisine is the most awarded restaurant in Canberra. Established in 1992, we are celebrating 32 years of service.
