EGE CRAFT BEER HOUSE & TURKISH RESTAUTANT — Restaurant in Kamakura

Being from Germany, a country with a sizeable Turkish population (and birthplace of the Döner Kebab), I've been to quite a few Turkish restaurant in my time, but this one beats them all. The food was simply fantastic. Part of the reason is probably that Boris, the owner, makes pretty much everything himself. We wanted to eat vegetarian, and the place had plenty of options to choose from. The falafel was much softer and not so dry as is often the place, and the spinach pide was was topped work delicious cheese and had great seasoning. We also had hummus and another kind of spicy appetizer, together with Turkish bread, both excellent.

Barış is not only the owner of this amazing place, but also the soul of it. He’s a genuinely kind and welcoming person who makes you feel right at home. But let’s talk about the real star: the beers!

On top of that, the Anatolian food is outstanding. Every dish is rich in flavor, beautifully balanced with spices, and made with love. If you’re lucky enough to be here during sunset, the vibe becomes absolutely magical.

I feel so lucky to have found this place. A must-visit for anyone coming...
