AL's Mediterranean Food

Hello everyone! It’s been a long time since my last post but I just came back from Türkiye. It’s been hard for me all those time being away from all of you. All those things made a life teaching realization on me that no matter what we plan in this life, life it’s own plan over us. It has its own way to change people’s directions and opens up new chapters to achieve and expand.
I am still going to be CLOSED for a while to figure out some stuff and we might reopen but main purpose for me is to sell the restaurant and go back to Türkiye.
It’s been very hard to make these decisions for me but I have to.
Thank you to all who supported me all those years and became my friends and family here. It’s been a great experience and a journey for me that I’ll never forget.
I’m always grateful for what life brings on our tables and the people who we connected in different bonds.
Thank you again for everything and I’ll try to do my best to reopen and say a better good bye.
