About Tapduk Emre Sofrası

Tapduk Emre Sofrası is a small restaurant in the centre of Nallıhan, run by a local women's cooperative, the Nallıhan Tapduk Emre Women's Initiative cooperative for the production and processing of regional products. According to its own pages, the income from the business is given to university students as scholarships. It takes its name from Tapduk Emre, the medieval dervish associated with Nallıhan. The kitchen focuses on local Nallıhan dishes and produce. Its posts invite guests to try Nallıhan's pink-centred rice (pembe göbek pirinç), promote water buffalo yoghurt (manda yoğurdu) as one of the town's specialities, and describe a workshop on site producing local baklava and stuffed vine leaves (yaprak sarma). Recent posts in November 2026 also show cutlets, fresh bread and desserts, and the venue describes itself as a place for a relaxed meal or a break with friends and family. The restaurant is on Cumhuriyet Meydanı 3. Sokak in the Nasuhpaşa neighbourhood, close to the town square. Practical notes: the venue lists two phone numbers, 0312 785 29 20 and 0537 785 33 70, and does not publish opening hours, so call ahead, especially for groups.
