Yildiz Han – Escape towards the east

The restaurant is decorated with a traditional Turkish decor; throw rugs, seats, various cultural artefacts and even the staff themselves wear traditional garb.

Besides offering meat and vegetarian dishes, they host belly dancing performances on Fridays and Saturdays, a fortune-teller on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and culinary delights with explanations on Thursdays. This typically takes place in the evening. As it should be, one also has an opportunity to smoke some Narghilé – the famous Turkish pipe.

During the day, until 15:00, a three course lunch is served for only €7. It is not uncommon to smell Turkish-style coffee wafting out of the typical Slovenian home, however in the bars and cafes it is typically espresso that is served. Perhaps this is why Yildiz Han is so liked by locals here in Ljubljana. Here can you get what we call Turkish coffee.
