Our Story

Real Turkish flavors, from our home to yours.

Kekik Cuisine began at home — a family who loves to cook, sharing the dishes they grew up with. Every plate is prepared by hand in our San Diego kitchen with fresh, seasonal ingredients and generous handfuls of herbs.

From slow-simmered soups to hand-rolled börek, we cook the way we'd cook for our own family: with care, patience, and the unmistakable taste of authentic Turkish home cooking.

We're originally from Gaziantep — the world's capital of baklava — and we bring authentic baklava, şöbiyet and kadayıf directly from home, straight to your table.
