It’s an interesting question, The 600 year old Ottoman Empire, for most of its existence, predated nationalism. The Ottoman Empire was built by Turkman nomad tribes who came from Turkmenistan due to the conquest of Anatolia by the Seljuks Turkmans, Therefore the Ottomans can be considered Turks, at least in origin, to refer to them as Turkish though, is problematic, as Turkish is not really an ethnic identity. It is a national one, crystallised by Mustafa Kemal in 1924.

The Ottoman Empire was a multi-cultural Empire, it combined Turks (Turkmens) Greeks, Armenians, Kurds, Arabs and the Balkan people. A bit like most coffee shops today.

Coffee houses began in the heart of the Ottoman Empire, providing an alternative gathering place, to socialise and share ideas.

The Coffee itself reached Constantinople in the 16th century, The Ottomans developed a new brewing method: roasting the beans over a fire, grinding them and then gently boiling them in water over fire. The Ottomans were instrumental in the spread of coffee.

So our story begins there.

We don’t say we have the greatest coffee, If our customers feel we have the best coffee, we always credit the farmers and roasters who provide the best red berry, We only use coffee scored 84+, all we do is use our knowledge and experience to extract the best flavours from the berry. We also have some of the best equipment to help with providing a fantastic cup.

We have invested in 4 espresso grinders (Mythos1 & 2), 2 world class filter grinders (EK43 & PK100 Lab) to provide you with the very best grind. This helps a great deal in extraction of flavours.

We are called the Ottoman Coffeehouse, we offer authentic Turkish Coffee, we can boldly claim to have the best Turkish coffee that you will ever drink, we use authentic brewing techniques coupled with our expansive knowledge of coffee from both the SCA and Italy, to pull an absolutely fantastic Turkish coffee,

If you are after authentic Turkish food, then we can recommend some amazing Turkish restaurants in and around Glasgow, Our food however is not Turkish, although we have several items that are typically Turkish.

When we intially opened back in 2015 we had a rotating kitchen, Yemeni, Libyan, Kurdish etc, and Turkish, this however was not financially viable as the uptake of the food was not palatable for our customers, who had been fed Indian food since the 70s, we then spent many years perfecting dishes that would sell well to our clientele.
