Great food from a local turkish-style restaurant of the type we dont have enough of. Proper charcoal grill makes it special. Especially lamb rack is amazing! Also hummus & salad are fresh and perfectly harmonized with meats Good sharing platters and small bites. Good for families, couple or groups.

Ahhh the fettucini pasta was the best past I had. Must try! Right now they are going through renovation, but the kitchen is open and the dine in option is limited as well. But the food is amazing and the staffs are super friendly and cute!:) if you like eggplant, you will love the mousaka and the platter is worth giving a shot too. Highly recommending this restaurant

We had the shared platter with lamb chops, chicken, bread, hummus, salads and yogurt mint dip. It was absolutely delicious. My favourite thing to eat at this restaurant.

Good mix of outdoor bar top drinking and restaurant eating. Food is Turkish in case you hadn't guessed. Good portions to keep those with big appetites happy. Good quality too.

Food. Ice cold plates warm food on a cold day.had to ask to warm up plates.
We ordered a platter.the salad had a few green leaves of lettuce in it and loads of big and hard chunks of red cabbage and red onion. Turkish salad had no olives in it no olive oil on only very sour vinegar on it and no tomatoes or any feta cheese.
Hummus was tasteless it was only pureed chickpeas.no flavour. I think the chef has never seen or tasted Turkish food.
We paid $78 for nothing a total waste of money.
Everything on our plate was done on the cheap.

Service.nog interaction.so-so, staff gave impression they'd rather be somewhere else.

Atmosphere. Lacking.but it was nice and warm inside though.

Will we go back. NO!
Will we recommend the restaurant. NO

Really below average food. The two falafels barely edible (flat, very hard & oily.) There was no baba-ganoush, avocado smash or tabbouleh as stated on the menu. Three olives. Boring salad. Pretty disappointing meal. Such a shame, we love to support local, but we won’t be back here.

Love it here! I came in the other night and the staff are super friendly and the food is delicious. One if the bartenders, Reece, makes amazing cocktails. Absolutely recommend going there for a night out!

This is a great restaurant with amazing food, amazing service and super cool staff. Each time I've gone I've had a nice time and it never disappoints. Along with having a wonderful restaurant they also have a bar right next to it with similar attributes. Awesome place to go overall.

Loved our meal here. Everything was full of flavour. Although they were out of a few desserts, it was nice to receive some Turkish Delight as an apology.

Delish food, service was fast and staff were nice. Great platters to share loaded with lots of tasty bits. Recommend trying the lamb dish. So good.

Hit & miss. The skewered meat dish was great, but everything else was bland, average, or tasted weird or stale. For the price they charge a main, you'd expect better. The prawn salad was salad mix leaves bag you'd get from the supermarket - the carrot and cabbage slices were old and stale. And the dressing tasted like from a supermarket bottle too. There was nothing original or fresh. The avocado dip in the pide + dip tasted off.

This restaurant is known to us and we had expected to enjoy a dinner on 31st October. We were a party of 3. One of us enjoyed her meal.
Two of us made the mistake of ordering the Salmon main dish. It was dry and hopelessly overcooked.thoroughly unpleasant. I am disappointed.

I was there for dinner with a friend and we had a great time. The place was quiet inside and I was impressed with the quality of the food and the presentation, the service was impeccable. We ordered Otoman's Borek which was a big slice with multiple layers, and it came with hummus and salad, tzatziki, tabbouleh etc. Absolutely delicious. Couldn't fit any dessert but the sharing plate I saw on the table near us looked amazing. I'll be back with my family. Highly recommended especially if you like authentic Turkish food!

Amazing pizzas here and beautiful cold Tiger on tap.
The customer service, everyone there is so friendly and there is loads of car parking, great night out for us as a couple and the young family that joined us.
