Erdinc Uzun has trained under head chefs all across the world, from his home country of Turkey to the United Kingdom and the United States. After years of work, Uzun is finally setting up his own place in Nazareth: Mersin on Main, a Turkish restaurant named after Uzun’s hometown of Mersin, Turkey.
“This venture is a lifelong dream for Erdinc,” says Eileen Simak, Uzun’s partner who will run the restaurant alongside him. “As we live in Nazareth ourselves, we are very involved in the community.”
The restaurant features Mediterranean-inspired dishes like eggplant tomato salad and falafel. Mersin on Main also offers fresh baklava made on site.
