Lokanta

Lokanta Aegean & Eastern Mediterranean Cooking Close to home, in more ways than one - a return to our collective roots. Come and see us soon!

Zeki, Clare, Ali and Michelle have opened a little eatery inspired by the Aegean coastlines of Turkey and Greece (the boys' old stomping grounds - both Ali and Zeki from Western Turkey, and the girls seasoned food travellers in their own rights). Another fit-out designed and built by Clare - destined to be a great little local gathering place. Tasty, authentic food from Zeki's hands, and a sunset oriented posi make for some convivial evenings ahead!
