Our Story

Yusuf Karadogan grew up in the San Mateo County restaurant industry. His late father was a chef at Michelin-recommended sister restaurants Evvia Estiatorio and Kokkari Estiatorio, owned a Mediterranean restaurant in San Mateo and created local fast-casual eatery Pita Gyros, which currently has three locations.

Now, Karadogan and his family are embarking on a new venture: Bahche, an upscale Mezze restaurant and wine bar in San Mateo’s Hillsdale neighborhood.
