🍕 Ayasofya, their restaurant, sits in the old Bruno's Pizza space – a spot generations of WMU students knew and loved.

😋 Join us in the kitchen as she cooked their signature dish: gobit doner. The Turkish sandwich is filled with shaved meat, fries, pickles, lettuce, tomato, onions, mayo and fresh-baked flatbread.

🍰 Red velvet cake from Turkey. Halil insists that it’s nothing like the red velvet cake typically found here in the U.S. Their imported cakes have a hint of coconut flavor that actually comes from cacao.

The couple behind this Turkish restaurant in Kalamazoo talk about the weight of representing a cultural cuisine to a city that's still learning it, one gobit doner at a time.
