Our Story
A little corner of Anatolia on the Albanian coast
OTANTIK was born from a simple idea: bring the fire, spice and generosity of a Turkish family table to Durrës. Every kebab is char-grilled over open embers, every pide is hand-stretched and baked in our stone oven, and every meze is made from scratch each morning with produce from local markets.
Sit inside among carved wood and brass lanterns, or on the sea-breeze terrace with a glass of raki. Whatever the occasion, you'll be welcomed the way we welcome family — slowly, warmly, and with far too much food.

“The best Turkish food outside of Istanbul. The lamb shish melted on the fork and the terrace at sunset is unreal.”

“As an Istanbulite I am picky — the adana here is the real thing. Charcoal, cumin, chili, done properly.”
