The blast occurred on Friday afternoon inside a kebab shop in the Nazilli district of Aydin province.
Images from the scene show rescue workers outside the damaged restaurant, alongside fire crews and ambulances.
The governor of Aydin province, Hüseyin Aksoy, told the Anadolu state news agency that five others were injured, with one in critical condition. 
Three prosecutors are now investigating whether a gas canister was behind the blast.
