Highly acclaimed by food critics and the press, as well as the recipient of many customer accolades such as being rated a Top 5 Newcomer by Zagat Survey 2008 and recipient of OpenTable’s “Diners’ Choice” and Citysearch’s “Best of” awards for Mediterranean cuisine, Pera Mediterranean Brasserie brings an authentic taste of eastern Mediterranean cuisine to New York City, and now through the launch of Pera Online Store, to your home within the continental U.S.Pera derives its name from an elegant neighborhood in Istanbul that has served as the melting pot for many cultures and cuisines since the 17th century. While our focus is largely on Turkish recipes, as implied by our name, we acknowledge that some of the food we serve is the ultimate cultivation of many centuries of inter-cultural shared recipes and cooking methods, and is therefore shared amongst many cuisines including North African, eastern European, Greek, Turkish, eastern Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Persian, Armenian, Afghani, Central Asian, Pakistani and Indian cuisines.

Pera Online Store is not your typical online ethnic grocery store, it specializes in knowledge and labor intensive, hard to prepare at home foods which are all natural (no preservatives) and fresh (flash frozen immediately upon preparation).  Our signature packaged food products are Adana Kebabs*, Shish Kebabs** and Lamb Ribs (Kaburga), all of which we prepare according to authentic Turkish recipes using only the finest quality lamb and chicken meat.  We also feature a Lamburger (Lamb Burger) which is our deliciously  innovative way of combining the most popular eastern Mediterranean cheese, vegetable and herbs with the most popular of all American foods, the hamburger. 

 Additional food and food-related new products will be added to Pera Online Store so please check back periodically or join our mailing list to receive important updates and special offers (on average not to exceed one e-mail per month, with a one-click option to unsubscribe at any time).
