Our Menu
Dive into a world of rich, multi-ethnic cuisine inspired by the pure waters of the Mardin river in Southeastern Anatolia.
Our Story
Avaspi (“pure water” in Kurdish) is an Anatolian tapas restaurant named after a river in Mardin, a historic multicultural city in Southeastern Anatolia. The river, known for its pure waterfalls and greenery, gives life to agricultural lands in the Mesopotamian plains, something of a miracle in this arid region. The food and flavors of these lands have brought people of various ethnic groups around the same table for thousands of years.
Here at Avaspi, we are devoted to bringing Anatolia’s rich multi-ethnic cuisine and deep culture of hospitality to Chicago.
Thank you for letting us share this special cuisine with you. Enjoy!
