Celebrate life at Konak
Konak Turkish restaurant in Philadelphia used to be my favorite weekend place to go. I have wonderful memories of the time I spent there. Konak brings you back to the days of old, with a servant staff to offer you critically acclaimed Turkish dishes in a luxurious Turkish styled setting. I liked it because you are the patron of Konak and their royalty, and they pride themselves in treating you as such, seeing you indulge your senses in the most exceptional sights, sounds, tastes, and scents which Konak Turkish Restaurant can bring you. There, your ears will take pleasure in the sounds of Turkish music, your eyes will dance to the sites of family heirlooms of the Atay family, and your taste buds will delight in the award winning traditional Turkish cuisine.
Amazing scene
To begin, Konak is reminiscent of the palaces that are in the heart of Istanbul. You will find the main dining room to be amazingly spacious and roomy. The eighteen-foot ceilings, skylights, and softly hued tile floors produce the airy effect of feasting in an open court. The interior is adorned in Turkish regalia. Walls are draped in an intriguing array of handmade family heirlooms of needlepoint, cast-iron candleholders, and wood framed mirrors. Hookahs, intricately engraved antique teapots and lamps line the end tables and windows. Cozy sofas are lined with brightly-colored embroidered satin pillows. You and your guests will feel as if you've been transported on a magic carpet to Istanbul as you eat and drink in Konak’s stylish surroundings.
