FATSA · REGO PARKMeet Figen Gülü

Portrait of Figen Gülü, owner of FATSA Mediterranean Cuisine

After 27 years in America and nearly 20 years in the restaurant business, Figen Gülü brings a lifetime of experience to FATSA in Rego Park, Queens. She puts her standard for the kitchen simply:

“If I wouldn’t eat it myself, I would never serve it to my guests.”

That care starts long before a plate reaches the table. It’s in the time spent preparing the mezes, the choice of seafood, and the quality of the meat that goes on the grill. Through those everyday decisions, Figen shares the Turkish food culture she grew up with, right here on Queens Boulevard.
