What are you going to do:
Yosma is a Turkish Meyhane, Mangal and Raki Bar inspired by the streets of Istanbul, which opened on Baker Street during autumn of 2016 to critical acclaim from Jay Rayner of The Observer, and Fay Maschler, long standing restaurant critic for the Evening Standard.
Celebrating the spirit and heritage of Istanbul, Yosma embraces Meyhane culture, which originated in the taverns of the city in the 16th century, and has been at the heart of Turkish social life since. The Meyhane has long been a place to meet, share plates of meze, drink raki (the Turkic region’s oldest and most loved spirit), and swap stories around the table with friends.
A modern interpretation of these institutions, Yosma comprises a dedicated raki bar, a 140-cover dining room designed by award winning branding & interior design studio Afroditi Krassa, edgy London-based artist Neal Fox was commissioned to create bespoke artwork especially for Yosma; and an open kitchen serving a menu of meze and mangal dishes created by Executive Chef, Hus Vedat.
Raki - Turkey’s national aperitif plays an important part on the drinks list and features on the cocktail menu created by drinks consultant Matt ‘Talented Mr Fox’ Whiley.
