at esra, we cook what we feel like. sometimes it's turkish, sometimes it's not - but it's always seasonal, fresh and using the very best local ingredients. we serve mediterranean, turkish and turkey-adjacent wines.

a note about allergies
we’re a very small restaurant with an even smaller kitchen, and unfortunately, that means we’re not able to accommodate every dietary restriction or allergy. read more here about what we can and cannot accommodate.
