Our Story
Karamba Cafe was founded in 2004 by the Helmans family, who immigrated from Istanbul with a dream of sharing authentic Turkish cuisine with their new community. What started as a small family restaurant has grown into a beloved local institution.
Our name "Karamba" comes from a Turkish expression of surprise and delight - the same feeling we want our guests to experience with every meal. We believe that food is more than sustenance; it's a way to bring people together, share stories, and create lasting memories.
Every dish on our menu tells a story of tradition, passed down through generations of Turkish cooks. From our grandmother's secret spice blends to our hand-rolled phyllo pastry, we maintain the authentic techniques that make Turkish cuisine so special.
