Six Fillings, One Love
Hand-rolled flatbread cooked on a griddle with your choice of fillings — a centuries-old village tradition from the heart of Anatolia.
Village roots
What is Gozleme?
Generations of Anatolian women have rolled yufka dough on a sac griddle — now their tradition lives on at Fremont Street
The Taste of Rural Turkey
Gozleme is one of Turkey's most beloved comfort foods, born in the villages of Anatolia where women would gather to roll paper-thin yufka dough, fill it with whatever was fresh — cheese from the morning milking, spinach from the garden, potatoes from the cellar — and cook it on a convex iron griddle called a sac.
The name comes from the Turkish word "göz" (eye), referring to the way the dough puffs up with "eyes" as it cooks. The result is crispy on the outside, soft and filled on the inside — a handheld meal that's been sustaining Turkish families for centuries.
Choose Your Filling
At Istanbul Mediterranean 2, our Gozleme ($7.95) comes with six filling options: White Cheese, Mozzarella, Potato, Spinach and Cheese, Ground Beef, or Eggplant. Each is prepared with hand-rolled dough, filled generously, and cooked until golden and crispy on both sides.
Whether you grab one as a quick snack or pair it with a cup of Turkish tea for a light meal, gozleme is one of the best values on our menu — and one of the most authentic Turkish experiences we offer.
