Cleopatra Restaurant at night: illuminated dish photos in the window and the open kitchen glowing inside, wrought-iron patio railing out front

Open kitchen, lights on

The pita is rolled at the counter. The sauces are made in the back.

No buns, no shortcuts. Stand close enough and you can watch it puff in the oven.

The owners

Ran their first restaurant in BC for over 20 years. In 2022 they moved up the lake to Summerland and opened on Rosedale Avenue, with the same kitchen they always cooked from at home.

They make the sauces in-house, roll the pita on the counter, and tailor every dish to your spice preference. The room blends Turkish music, Mediterranean memorabilia, and the smell of cardamom; it has been called “the gem of Summerland.”

Cooked with great love.
