Anatolian Fire · Estonian Soul

Türgi Maitsed

The slow-burning hospitality of the Anatolian kitchen, served in the quiet warmth of a Nordic dining room. Wood-fire kebab, charred bread, and pomegranate.

Our Story

From an Anatolian fire pit to a candlelit table in Tallinn.

Türgi Maitsed — “Turkish Tastes” — was born from a homesick chef, a wood-fired oven, and a stubborn belief that the rituals of an Anatolian kitchen belong everywhere. We grind our spices weekly, char our bread to order, and ferment our yoghurt for three days.

Every plate is built around the fire: lamb cured in pul biber, beef simmered with sour cherry, vegetables blackened until sweet. The rest is just butter, lemon, and time.

Signature Dishes

Six plates that tell the whole story.

Pulled from the menu, charred over flame, plated with intention. Each is a snapshot of the kitchen on a quiet Tuesday — when there is time, and time is the only seasoning that matters.

The Room

Candlelight, oak, and the soft hum of a busy night.

Forty-two seats, two chandeliers, one stove that never quite cools down. The dining room is small on purpose — we want to know who is at every table, and what they are drinking.

Booths along the windows for long dinners, bar seats by the open kitchen for an early aperitif, and a private corner under the brick arch for parties of six.

The Cellar

Anatolian vines, uncorked the Estonian way.

A short, intentional list of Turkish wines you can't get anywhere else in Tallinn — Kalecik Karası from Ankara, Narince from the Tokat slopes, and a quiet little Öküzgözü we cellar for two extra years before pouring.

Eight by the glass, forty by the bottle, and a pairing menu for those who don't want to choose.

Reservations

Hold a table by the fire.

We hold tables up to thirty days out. For parties of seven or more, drop us a note and we'll set the long table by the arch.
