About us

Ali Sevindi and Haldun Turgay are Turkish natives and the owner operators of Otto Turkish Street Food. They arrived in Charlottesville in 2013 and worked together at local prestigious properties Clifton Inn and Oakhurst Inn. Ali and Haldun are Hospitality Business School graduates and always missed their beloved Turkish street foods.

In 2020 and amidst the pandemic, they opened Charlottesville’s only authentic döner restaurant. Their recipes are made in the same traditional methods as one would find on the streets of Turkey and throughout Europe. Enjoy their döner as a wrap, bowl, or sandwich. Tag their social media accounts and let them know your favorite!
