As Evi Turkish Cuisine

Aş Evi Turkish Cuisine is a Turkish and Mediterranean restaurant and bakery at 2973 West Henrietta Road in the Town of Henrietta, just south of Rochester, NY. The W. Henrietta Road location operates as the larger of two Aş Evi locations in the Rochester area — the original sits on East Ridge Road in Irondequoit. Owned by a Turkish immigrant family, Aş Evi (which translates to "restaurant" in Turkish) focuses on homemade, from-scratch Turkish cooking and maintains a fully halal kitchen with a no-alcohol policy. The restaurant is open daily from 8 AM to 9 PM.

The menu covers a wide range of traditional Turkish dishes, with particular depth in kebabs and pide (Turkish flatbread). Kebab options include döner, Iskender (sliced döner over fried pide with tomato sauce), Adana, shish, and beyti (ground beef with garlic and peppers wrapped in thin flatbread). Pide comes in meat, cheese, and vegetable varieties, including the Black Sea–style Karadeniz yağlı cheese pide. Appetizers such as hummus, lebni (a yogurt dip with garlic, walnuts, and dill), and çoban salatası (shepherd's salad) round out the savory side.

The bakery component sets this Henrietta location apart: glass display cases hold house-made pastries, baklava, künefe (shredded pastry with cheese and pistachio), and other Turkish desserts and baked goods. Turkish coffee and tea are available throughout the day. A private room can be reserved for events and group gatherings.

Aş Evi is known for its combination restaurant-and-bakery format, generous family-style portions, and a fully halal menu — a relatively uncommon offering along the W. Henrietta Road commercial corridor. The kitchen's emphasis on from-scratch preparation extends to its multiple varieties of house-made Turkish bread, and the bakery case draws visitors for sweets like baklava and künefe alongside the full dining menu.

The restaurant sits on West Henrietta Road in the Town of Henrietta, a busy commercial stretch near Marketplace Mall and the Rochester Institute of Technology campus. The address places it in one of the suburban strip plazas that line this corridor south of I-390. Parking is available on-site. The location is convenient for residents of Henrietta, Brighton, and the surrounding University of Rochester and RIT communities looking for halal Turkish dining without heading into the city.
