Pera

«Pera» on Moskovskaya Street in Kazan serves Turkish and Middle Eastern cuisine, follows halal standards, and keeps shashlik on the menu. The restaurant was opened by Mehmet Akif Eskici, the same person behind the Tawooks café, so the Turkish cuisine here comes from firsthand experience. The interior is built on a contrast between restraint and ethnic details. Warm-toned wood, tiles with traditional patterns, and bright cushions create an Eastern feel without excess flair. A neon sign on the wall reads All you need is kunefe — a hint at the dessert you should try first. The average check at «Pera» is 1,400 rubles. The restaurant is a good fit for anyone who wants to try authentic Turkish cuisine in the center of Kazan, at Moskovskaya Street, 36/5.
