From a Passion to a Global Brand: The Inspiring Journey of Happy Moon’s

Happy Moon’s opened its doors in 1999 on Bahariye Street in Kadıköy with the aim of making modern restaurant culture accessible to everyone. With its strategy of generous portions, fast service, and excellent hospitality, Happy Moon’s has always strived to deliver the very best to its guests. Today, with 25 years of experience, the brand has grown to nearly 60 locations across Turkey.

Happy Group has evolved into a large-scale organization, not only with Happy Moon’s but also by introducing successful brands like İkon, Manhattan, Little Buddha, and The ONE. With a team of 3,700 employees, Happy Group continues to grow steadily while maintaining guest satisfaction at the highest level through fresh, hygienic, and high-quality products.

While expanding domestically, Happy Group is also increasing its international presence. After Azerbaijan, the group is preparing to open new branches in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and is also working toward new openings in locations such as the UK and Dubai.

As Happy Moon’s drives the growth of Happy Group, the company continues to lead the industry with its diverse concepts:

Little Buddha: Offering the finest flavors of Far Eastern cuisine through an “accessible service and taste” approach, Little Buddha operates

in Akmerkez Mall in Istanbul and AnkaMall in Ankara, and is preparing to open its third branch at Istanbul Financial Center. Featuring over 170 options crafted by expert chefs, the brand is known for standout dishes like Corn Tempura, Dynamite Shrimps, and Truffle Edamame with Ponzu Sauce.

The ONE Brasserie: One of Happy Group’s most sophisticated concepts, The ONE Brasserie offers an elevated dining experience with its refined menu and attentive service. Located in Suadiye, this exceptional venue combines a modern brasserie concept with flavors inspired by Mediterranean and world cuisines. From delicately prepared breakfasts to gourmet main courses and signature cocktails, The ONE Brasserie is a favorite destination for those seeking memorable moments.

Manhattan Coffee, Food & Drink: Opened in 2023 under the Happy Group umbrella, Manhattan offers a warm atmosphere along with a menu inspired by both Turkish and global cuisines, complemented by signature desserts and coffee options. With locations in Meydan Mall and a beachfront venue in Fenerbahçe Park, Manhattan continues to win the admiration of its guests.

İkon: Established in 2020, İkon stands out with its specialized kitchen and professional service. With branches in Akmerkez, Bodrum Yalıkavak, and Galataport, İkon caters to a niche audience by offering refined global flavors in an elegant ambiance.

 


The Same Passion, the Same Flavor for 25 Years

With a wide-ranging menu that appeals to all ages and tastes, Happy Moon’s offers a culinary journey from breakfast to dinner. It blends the richness of Turkish cuisine with global flavors. Freshly prepared salads, hearty main courses, pastas and burgers inspired by world cuisine have become must-haves for food lovers, while beautifully presented desserts and a variety of coffee options make for the perfect break.

Behind the success of Happy Moon’s lies not only its culinary excellence but also a deep commitment to guest satisfaction and a forward-thinking approach. The brand aims to be the first place guests think of, ensure they feel valued upon arrival, and leave with a sense of happiness. This guest-centric mindset lies at the heart of every decision. Friendly and warm welcomes, thoughtfully designed spaces, and consistently high-quality offerings are the foundations of the Happy Moon’s experience. The goal is not just to offer service but to make every guest feel truly special. With this philosophy, Happy Moon’s has become more than a café people visit occasionally—it’s a place they want to return to again and again.
