Our Story
A Tradition at the Fire's Heart
Shish Ocakbaşı was established in Yenibosna to bring the traditional Turkish barbecue and open-fire cooking culture to a premium dining experience. For us, ocakbaşı is not just a cooking method; it's a way to welcome guests by the fire, to engage in conversation, and to share a meal.
We carefully select our meats every morning, prepare our minced meat by hand with a special technique, and cook everything exclusively over real wood charcoal. From our hand-kneaded kebabs to our charcoal-grilled shish, and from our homemade mezes to our warm kunefe dessert, every dish is crafted with the expertise of our master chefs, honed over many years.
The Venue and Group
Shish Ocakbaşı operates within the Pullman Istanbul Airport Hotel complex in Yenibosna; guests staying at the hotel and visitors from nearby business centers are regular guests at our tables.
Being located in the same complex as the Pullman Istanbul Hotel, which is operated under Accor's premium brand, also brings our tables to guests from abroad.
Our restaurant is part of the Saraylı Group, which has been in operation since 1970.
The group's business sectors are grouped under construction, infrastructure, and tourism.
Residents of Prime Istanbul Living, which offers furnished apartments in the same complex, also frequently visit our restaurant for dinner.
