A house in central Kaş where the tradition lives on.
Ehl-i Keyf is a house in central Kaş where the meyhane tradition still lives. As lanterns light up in the garden, the first mezze of the day reaches your table — picked by the market, set by the season. The table doesn't rush; it invites the conversation.
Our fish is fresh, our mezze made daily, our rakı poured cold. We're a short walk from the Kaş harbor; after dinner, you're still under the stars. Here, you're not a guest — you're a companion at the table.
The classics of the table.
From the market that morning, in the season's best form. Here are the five you'll keep coming back for.

Blue hour in the garden.
As the sun sets behind the hills of Kaş, lanterns hang from the garden trees and candlelight settles on the tables. From the blue hour to midnight — no stage, just soft music in the back. The voice of the table comes first. Time doesn't move here until the table does.
Beside the Rakı,
Conversation Is on Us.
Happiness lives on the long table, the heart of the table is in the talk.
One evening, at Ehl-i Keyf.
How does an evening unfold here? Less by the clock, more by the rhythm of the table.
- 18:30
Blue hour
The sun falls behind the hills of Kaş, lanterns begin to glow in the garden. The first rakı is chilled over ice; plates are ready to land.
- 19:00
Mezze, all at once
Cold mezze arrive together — ezme, fava, haydari, octopus salad, walnut pepper. The table fills in an instant. The feeling of abundance.
- 20:15
Warm interlude
Calamari tava, sigara böreği, sautéed mushrooms. Small warm plates slip between the mezze; conversation softens.
- 21:00
Time for the grill
Sea bass, octopus, lamb chops. From the day's market, over the coals. Don't break up the plate — the table eats together.
- 23:00
The talk stretches
Glasses refresh, fruit and seeds arrive. The clock has lost its weight. No stage, music in the back — the voice of the table comes first.
- 01:30
The close
Watermelon, cheese, Turkish coffee. You rise together; the garden lanterns don't dim behind you. The stars are still above.

“Our first stop every time we come to Kaş. Fish daily, mezze fresh — especially the ezme and fava. Ask for a garden table if you can; the kind of corner where rakı leads into morning.

“Service warm and gracious. Mr. Özkan himself greeted us, no rushing as the table thinned out — felt truly like a guest. The grilled sea bass was perfect.

“Authentic Turkish meyhane experience — proper mezze, fresh fish, and the garden under lanterns is magical. The staff helped us with menu without rushing. Highly recommended.

“Celebrated my birthday here. Atmosphere, music, mezze — everything came exactly on time. They brought a surprise cake; the table sat long into the night. Thank you.

“Lucky to find a corner like this in central Kaş. Come an hour early for the grilled octopus, and you'll get the last good seat. Rakı, fish, conversation — the true definition of meyhane.

“Beautiful garden, attentive service, excellent grilled octopus. Slightly pricey but worth it for a special evening. Will return next summer.
Before you come to the table.
- Ehl-i Keyf is a traditional meyhane at Hükümet Cad. No:3 in central Kaş, a 3-minute walk from the harbor. Garden seating, daily mezze, grilled fish, and rakı. Open daily 12:00–02:00.
- Message or call WhatsApp +90 536 729 22 18. Evenings and weekends fill quickly — we recommend reserving at least a day ahead. For groups, please notify us 1 day in advance.
- All our fish is sourced from the day's market and served the same evening. Sea bass, sea bream, calamari and octopus are constant; other fish change by season and catch.
- A traditional meyhane evening lasts 2.5–3 hours on average. Mezze come all at once, grills follow; conversation accompanies the rakı.
- No, we don't host live music. Ehl-i Keyf's atmosphere is built on conversation, the table, and Kaş's evening calm — there's soft music in the background, but no stage. A deliberate choice.
- We don't have our own parking, but free/paid street parking is available nearby. If you're staying close by, walking in is easier; central Kaş is within walking distance.
- Yes, we welcome families with children in early evening hours. Our garden is spacious and safe. Later in the night (after 22:00) the room turns toward adult conversation.
Shall we keep your table tonight?
Evenings — especially weekends — fill quickly. Send us a message and we'll save you a good seat. For group reservations, please give us a day's notice.
