Murat Kaçmaz

I’m 28. I’ve been working in Tantuni business since 1999 and I’ve been a chef for the last 7 years .

I always talk to my customers so there is no distance between customers and me. I treat them as a friend in Kadikoy Tantuni that’s why the work is always a fun. But the most interesting moment was about my mistake when I was cooking. Instead of oil I put some juice in tantuni by accident. Although I put the wrong ingredient I didn’t realize it. After I served it, the customers understood my mistake, but they ignored it because we are like friends with customers. They just wanted to be kind. I cannot forget their faces when they were eating

When I was a child I used to work part time. And Tantuni was my favorite food so I used to spend almost all money I earned to eat Tantuni. Then I started working in a Tantuni Restaurant. From that time till now it has been my only business.

I like traditional Turkish Food and fish.

Fishing and taking pictures are my hobbies. Unfortunately, I am very busy with my business that’s why I dont have much time for my hobbies.

I wish to the readers of Food & Chef all best food

I’ve chosen this dish, because first of all I like it. It is my first reason to choose it. And although Tantuni is a traditional food you cannot find and taste it whenever or wherever you want. Apart from southern Turkey, there are a few tantuni restaurants in the country. That’s why this dish is in demand. It is a mixture of a specially cooked meat with tantuni, tomato, onion and parsley put into warm lavash or bread.
