Located in the heart of Manhattan, New York, Nar redefines regional Turkish cuisine through a refined lens of contemporary gastronomy. Inspired by the depth and diversity of Anatolia’s culinary heritage, Nar brings centuries-old traditions to the modern table with precision, creativity, and elegance.

Nar was conceived by Erhan Bahceci and Zeynep Solak. Zeynep’s extensive experience in territorial marketing and the agro-food industry laid the foundation for Nar’s vision. Drawing on her deep knowledge of Turkish food traditions and market strategy, she shaped Nar to position modern Turkish cuisine at the forefront of New York’s culinary scene, a city where global dining trends are celebrated.
Erhan is a successful entrepreneur and the founder of Food Cellar and Amish Market, whose leadership and retail expertise have been instrumental in establishing Nar’s strong foundation in New York’s competitive hospitality landscape. Together, they assembled a team of talented Turkish chefs to reinterpret regional Anatolian flavors for the discerning palates of New York City—balancing authenticity with innovation.

In 2025, Pakize Sukan joined Nar, bringing extensive expertise in communication, cultural programming, and event strategy. Her leadership reinforces Nar’s commitment to serving as a bridge between the host culture of the United States and Turkish business and community circles.

Nar Catering extends the restaurant’s culinary philosophy beyond its walls, specializing in high-end corporate catering across New York City. From executive luncheons to large-scale corporate gatherings and brand activations, Nar Catering delivers elevated Anatolian cuisine with seamless execution and refined presentation.

Nar Community reflects the belief that food is a bridge between cultures. Through collaborations, cultural events, and strategic partnerships, Nar fosters meaningful connections that celebrate Turkish heritage while embracing New York’s dynamic diversity.
