Emre & Ahmet

Two cousins who call Bar Harbor home

We are Emre and Ahmet, cousins from Turkey. More like brothers, really: our moms are sisters, and we grew up side by side.

Emre came to Bar Harbor in 2017 through the J-1 program, and Ahmet followed the next year. We worked four straight seasons at Cafe This Way, and we live on the island year round.

In June 2025 we opened our own place at 270 Main Street. We renovated the little storefront ourselves, painted the walls blue, and set picnic tables and a fire pit on the side lawn. Everything on the menu starts with our family’s recipes, down to the homemade hummus.

“the Kofte was probably the best I've ever had. The various yogurts were ALL delicious as was the chicken kabob (so soft!) and the Doner was great.”

“I had the donor plate and it was quite delicious. I love that you can see the rotisseries and know they are preparing the meats the correct way.”

“Some of the best Humus and Pita my wife and I have ever had. Amazing entrees and even greater service.”

Stay for tea

Turkish tea comes out in armudi glasses, the little pear-shaped ones. There is draft beer and wine, and when the evening turns cool, the fire pit on the side lawn does its job.

“The service was so good and they even set up the fire pit for us to stay warm while eating in the evening.”
