    KANKI'S: The Meaning and Story

    You might be wondering why we named our restaurant in the heart of Lotton KANKI'S. "Kanki" is a warm, friendly version of the Turkish word "kanka," which means a very close friend or buddy. This word isn't just a name for us; it's a philosophy.At KANKI'S, we don't see our guests as just customers. We want to welcome them like our closest friends, our "kankis." From the moment you step into our restaurant, you'll find yourself in a gathering of friends, filled with warm conversation, delicious food, and joyful moments.Our mezes, just like friendships, are designed to be shared and savored. And our extensive cocktail menu is the perfect companion for a great chat.KANKI'S is more than just a restaurant; it's a place where friendship and sharing are celebrated. It’s a place where everyone can feel at home, create new memories, and most importantly, feel like a "kanki" while enjoying a good conversation.Welcome to the KANKI'S family!

    Food Philosophy

    At KANKI’S MEZE & COCKTAIL BAR, our approach to food is guided by a deep respect for tradition, quality and the joy of sharing. We believe that food should do more than satisfy hunger — it should tell a story, bring people together and celebrate culture. Our dishes are inspired by generations of Turkish cooking, where time-honoured recipes are passed down through families and refined with care. We use only the freshest ingredients, focusing on natural flavour and seasonal produce. Every plate is prepared with intention, whether it is a delicate meze full of herbs and spice or a slow-cooked dish rich with depth and warmth. For us, food is an experience to be enjoyed together. Meze is made for sharing — for gathering around the table, exchanging stories and creating memories. At KANKI’S, we honour that tradition with every dish we serve, offering not just a meal, but a sense of belonging and celebration.

    The Taste of Mediterranean

    The Mediterranean is more than a region — it is a way of life. At KANKI’S MEZE & COCKTAIL BAR, we bring the vibrant spirit of the Mediterranean to your table, capturing the essence of sun-soaked coastlines, fresh ingredients and bold, honest flavours. Our menu reflects the rich culinary heritage of the Mediterranean, especially the heart of Turkish cuisine. You will find dishes filled with the freshness of ripe tomatoes, the richness of olive oil, the brightness of citrus and the aroma of fragrant herbs. From chargrilled meats to marinated vegetables and cooling yoghurt dips, every bite is a celebration of balance and simplicity. This taste of the Mediterranean extends to our drinks as well. Our cocktails are carefully crafted to complement the food, drawing on natural infusions, fresh juices and a creative twist that elevates the experience. Dining with us is more than eating — it is about slowing down, sharing generously and enjoying food the way it is meant to be: with passion, pleasure and people you care about.
