Murat Kaçmaz

I’ve been in the Tantuni business since 1999 and a chef for the past seven years. For me, cooking is all about connection—I treat my customers like friends, making every day fun. Tantuni is not just my favorite dish, but a rare Turkish specialty, and I’m proud to share its unique flavors with those who seek it.

With 25 years in the kitchen, my culinary journey has taken me from Executive Chef to Kitchen Commis and back, shaping my passion for traditional Turkish, Aegean, and Ottoman Palace cuisines. I love cooking stews, dough-based dishes, and anything with a balance of sweet, sour, and spice. My featured dish, Soğanlı Tavuk Kebabı, dates back 500 years to Sultan Suleyman’s court—rich in history and flavor.
