Turkish Flame Mediterranean is destined to become a must-visit spot for both locals and visitors, especially given the overwhelming success of Caliskan’s previous restaurant. The warm, cozy, and charming ambiance invites diners to relax and enjoy a glass of wine or a cold beer, either before or after their meal. The restaurant features a diverse selection of beer and wine from Turkey, Greece, Spain, and Italy, perfect for complementing the vibrant flavors of the cuisine.
