TURKISH CUISINE

The Lemon Oya

Restaurant & Bar

Charcoal-fired steaks, cedar-planked salmon, and the aromatic spices of the Aegean — a Mediterranean feast rooted in Ottoman tradition

Our Story

A Taste of
Istanbul

At The Lemon Oya, we celebrate the richness of Turkish cuisine through fresh ingredients, timeless recipes, and genuine hospitality. The name Oya is inspired by the delicate Turkish art of handmade lace — a symbol of craftsmanship, beauty, and attention to detail. In the same spirit, every dish we serve is carefully prepared by hand, blending authentic Ottoman flavours with a refined modern touch.

From perfectly prepared steaks to fresh Atlantic salmon infused with traditional herbs and spices, each plate is designed to bring people together and create moments worth sharing. Launching soon, our signature Hot Stone Steaks will offer a unique dining experience where premium cuts are served sizzling on volcanic stone, allowing every guest to cook their steak exactly to their preference while enjoying the aromas, theatre, and warmth of Turkish hospitality.
