Nowruz, celebrated on March 21st, is the festival of spring, and tradition asks that the day begin early. Across Anatolia it is customary to set a generous table on Nowruz morning, gather with relatives and greet the new year in the light. Mahsun Usta welcomes that morning with a table already laid, in its spacious hall inside the historic Yeşilköy Train Station built in 1871. A Spring Table Should Be Abundant Abundance is the spirit of the Nowruz table. Our Turkish breakfast brings more than 40 items: fresh cheeses, honey and buffalo clotted cream, homemade jams, cracked olives and buffalo yoghurt in earthenware. On the hot side, menemen and eggs with pastırma alongside stone-oven bread; for something sweet, Antep katmer and su böreği. Water, unlimited pot-brewed tea and coffee are on us. A Large Gathering with Relatives At Nowruz the table is usually a crowded one. Our partitioned, airy hall seats parties of fifteen to twenty comfortably: nobody is squeezed in and the conversation carries from one end of the table to the other. Thanks to our 100% halal, entirely alcohol-free concept, three generations sit at ease together. A Spring Morning in a Historic Station The high-ceilinged hall, the stone walls and the quiet of the platform outside make for a bright setting that suits a March morning.
