In 1983, two ambitious engineers crossed paths and forged a friendship that would stand the test of time. Over the years, Mr. and Ms. Elnekave supported one another through life’s many ups and downs, building a foundation of trust and companionship. Today, as a retired academic and a former pharmaceutical manager, they continue their shared journey, bringing their unique perspectives and experiences to every endeavour.
After 30 years of unwavering friendship, their bond deepened further through marriage. Their complementary skills and viewpoints blend seamlessly, creating a partnership grounded in harmony. This connection has shaped not only their lives but also their shared vision, which they are now proud to share with their community and visitors alike.
Leman Tea Room represents the fulfilment of Ms. Elnekave’s lifelong dream. Its essence is drawn from the couple’s global travels and their shared passion for collecting antiques, blending Turkish hospitality with the timeless charm of English tea culture. Their vision was to craft a welcoming space where every detail reflects warmth, elegance, and care.
