Ever wondered about the story behind our name? Well, get ready to dive into a world of flavor and cultural heritage!
LAZ: We’re proud to represent the Laz people, an ethnic group with a rich history rooted in the breathtaking landscapes of the Eastern Black Sea region of Turkey. This stunning coastal area, stretching from the city of Trabzon to the Georgian border, is known for its lush green mountains, fertile valleys, and vibrant cultural traditions.
The Laz people, who have inhabited this region for centuries, are renowned for their warm hospitality, unique language, and deep connection to their land. This connection is reflected in their cuisine, which features fresh, local ingredients and distinctive flavors.
TADIM: This beautiful Turkish word means “my taste” – and at Laz Tadim, we’re all about sharing our taste of authentic flavors from the Eastern Black Sea region with you. (Pronounced “ta-DEEM,” with the emphasis on the second syllable, it rolls off the tongue almost as deliciously as our pide!)
But why LAZ TADIM?
Because we’re more than just a restaurant. We’re a cultural experience, a culinary journey, and a celebration of the flavors and traditions of the Eastern Black Sea. Here’s what makes us special:
- Authentic Cuisine: We bring the heart of the Eastern Black Sea to your table, with dishes inspired by the region’s rich culinary heritage.
- Freshness First: We’re committed to using the finest, locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, ensuring the highest quality and freshest flavors in every bite.
- More Than Just Kebabs: While we’re proud of our mouthwatering kebabs, our menu is a delicious tapestry of Turkish delights, from pide to classic comforts like burgers and fish & chips.
- Laz Bakery: Our on-site bakery adds another layer of sweetness to the Laz Tadim experience, with freshly baked breads, pastries, and cakes to satisfy every sweet tooth.
