Mavi Turkish Aegean Kitchen and Bar is planning to open in December 2026 at 100 S. Eola Drive in downtown Orlando, according to information reported by Orlando Shine and listed on the restaurant’s website.
The forthcoming restaurant has received a full liquor license issued to Mavi Eola Group LLC that took effect Oct. 28, Orlando Shine reported. The license permits spirits alongside beer and wine. Mavi’s website lists Turkish and Aegean spirits, including rakı and ouzo, as part of its planned offerings.
Mavi describes its concept as “Turkish soul. Aegean spirit,” centered on shareable meze, warm lavash, charcoal-grilled dishes and seafood. The restaurant’s site also names mantı and İskender among its intended menu offerings, along with cocktails, Turkish wine and weekend DJ nights.
Separate lunch, dinner, late-night, dessert, happy-hour, brunch and Sunday Table menus are listed on the restaurant’s website. Sample lunch prices include a $29 Mavi Meze Experience, $10 lentil soup, $18 fried mussels and $16 sandwiches or wraps with döner, Adana, köfte or chicken shish. Listed desserts include baklava, sütlaç and kazandibi.
Mavi also lists a Sunday Turkish Table at $39 for adults and $18 for children ages 6 to 12, while children under 6 would eat free. The restaurant says that offering’s pricing and availability remain subject to confirmation before launch. Online reservations through OpenTable are described as coming soon.
Planned hours are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. Thursday through Sunday, according to Orlando Shine. The restaurant is recruiting staff ahead of its opening.
