Food here is great, the gozleme is nice and fluffy and the sesame chicken salad is amazing. Juicy, flavourful chicken and fresh crispy salad along with tasty garlic yoghurt. A new local fave, and the staff are super friendly.
Can not get enough of this place!! Each and every time I visit the food and service is amazing. The owner is so kind and friendly, I enjoy coming back often.
Can’t speak highly enough of this place, it’s an absolute gem and I’m so happy it’s located in this part of town. The food is incredible, definitely has that home-cooked with a lot of love flavour. The guy there is really friendly and welcoming. If you’re in the area, you must try it, definitely a place that’s gone under the radar.
Fantastic meal. Everything we had was beautiful. On top of that the service was awesome. Really welcoming atmosphere. Will definitely be back!
Fantastic menu options available and excellent service. The decor provides a cute little atmosphere. As for the food, it’s just incredible. 10/10
Wonderful food and service as always! Tasty eggs with potato and mince meat gozleme. Food never disappoints and my fussy toddler eats it very well. Even with the mess left behind they were so warm and courteous!
Great food and service! We enjoyed the potatoe and eggs, tabouli and sucuk simit. Authentic flavours that you can't find at turkish restaurants anymore. Will definitely go back soon!

Amazing Customer service. The dishes were served very well with good proportions. Only 1 Con and that was that we waited long for the food. Regardless, it was worth the wait and absolutely enjoyed dining here. Decorations were very beautiful. A highly recommended place if you’re in the area 👍🏻
The people are really friendly and have good service. Food is great, would definitely recommend it to others. They have a range of good vegetarian options so it was really easy to eat there. :)
I love this place. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and the food is delicious. My favourite is the gozleme and their Turkish delight - I don't normally like Turkish delight but you have to try this - amazing! Definitely worth a visit :)
Gave an awesome impression. This place is an amazing destination to get a taste of Turkey. Especially the Gozleme's no one makes it better than The Turkish Tea House. Even if you live far it's worth the drive. The people are so welcoming and lovely I really love this place.
Always amazing food and service. Quality of the food is always consistent, I highly recommend the cheese gozleme , sucuk menemen and chicken salad, oh and a Turkish coffee is a must have!
Love the Turkish tea house, I came here one day for lunch mid week and it was delicious and well priced the mantis and the quinoa salad were amazing.

My parents shared a sucuk and eggs which was a take on the familiar of eggs and sausages. It was baked eggs permeated with the spices from the sucuk. Yum!
Sensational menu, the Feta and Eggs was presented eloquently with a flavour that blends together extremely well. Drinks menu had some unique choices also with the Sour Cherry drink being of particularly high quality. The sesame chicken salad was also something to marvel at in terms of flavour and presentation. Staff were very friendly also. Strongly recommend.
Authentic and delicious.
My partner is Turkish so I have a good idea on what Turkish food should taste like and this hit the expectation to another level.
We ate the Turkish breakfast which is perfect for two people to share. Will definitely be going back, nice to see a place which has held their authenticity and have not strayed to adding a modern and strange twist! Perfect clean delicious 10/10.
Coffee is not quite to my liking, but the apple turkish tea is really good. The food is excellent. I wish it was open for dinner and BYO. I'm amazed it's in conservative old Balwyn and doing well!!
Lovely little cafe nicely decorated. It's also a gift shop so most of the decorations are for sale. The service on the day we were there were friendly and prompt. Food was nice and servings were generous too.
Wow what an amazing hidden gem in Balwyn. As soon as you walked into the restaurant you are transported to another place with the beautiful lanterns adorning the ceiling to the gorgeous plates and tea cups.
We struggled to pick from the menu as everything sounded amazing. We ended up ordering the gozleme, tabouli and Turkish ravioli plus the delicious apple turkish tea... recommend it all! Yum! Oh and the Turkish delight is also a must.
Special shout out to the owner who was so lovely and engaging. Will be back!
This place is One of a kind
Best Turkish delights ever!
Always has friendly service and also great coffee!!
This place is a must visit 10/10
Especially to admire the deco!
We had a Turkish breakfast and it was the best in Melbourne. They have delicious turkish delights which you can not find in any other place in Australia. Staff is great as well! Thanks for opening such a great place to have some amazing turkish tastes..
Amazing breakfast in great company with an authentic Turkish vibe. Highly recommended the Turkish breakfast and the Turkish delight. The Turkish coffee is the best I've had!
Finally - a Turkish cafe/restaurant that has put some thought into its decor - YES! Normally it's the plain white tables and stock standard chair but NOT at this cafe. The atmosphere gives one lots to look at, the service and staff are good and friendly. Food delicious and the sweets ever so tempting. I had only one personal dislike - a chilli piece hidden in my plate's side salad. Not being a fan of a burning hot mouth, I do live to tell the tale and for all the laughter from the waiter I'd definitely go back. Just hold the chilli please :)
Best Turkish cafe in town!! I was very impressed with the Manti as well as the delicious Turkish breakfast. The staff are also incredibly friendly. Will be back soon for sure! 👍
Fantastic decor and atmosphere!
Beautiful gift shop upstairs.
Family run business very friendly and AMAZING food!!!!
Great selection of salads too
Great atmosphere! Home cooking! Caters to vegetarians too. Prices are very reasonable given the servings are huge. The best Turkish delights! Addictive! Takes me back to Turkey!
Quality food and very reasonable prices. You can tell it's all made with love. Can't go pass the kofte dish! And make sure you save room for the Turkish delight- it will blow your mind !
I discovered this place on my first day in Melbourne and now I'm a regular. I love every dish I have tried here, from the oozy and delicious custard-filled baklava to the fresh and rejuvenating gypsy salad. Love the pomegranate and pistachio turkish delight and the range of teas. The decorations are beautiful and the cute family that runs it is great. Perfect place to zen out and read the paper or have a relaxed lunch with a friend.
What a find! Can't wait to try all these beautiful turkish delights. Definitely worth a visit and great customer service.
Turkish coffee a must.
Amazing place in Balwyn. Great friendly service the gozleme the best I've had. The tea selection so good I had two. Get on this great family owned restaurant.
Took the family in for a late breakfast. The food was exquisite and the kids loved their meals. The service was fantastic and the coffee also fantastic. Highly recommended
First time at Turkish Teahouse the other day and was very impressed. We experienced great personal service and the food and coffee was amazing!! Will definitely be coming back here
A terrific addition to the Balwyn culinary scene. The food is tasty and well presented. The staff are friendly and attentive. Highly recommended.
Today was my first time at the Turkish Tea House and i could not be happier!
The food was delicious and fresh - the service was great, very friendly and attentive! Will definitely be back :)
Not only are the staff the best in the area, but having a flavourism traditional brekky, sorrounded by a traditional decor with a modern twist, really starts your day off perfectly...and afterwards you can pop up to the gift shop and spoil yourself a little. Highly recommended!
Food here is absolutely delicious,tastes fresh and homemade.Tea and sweets are also yummy.Great customer service from friendly staff.The Turkish delight is just lovely. Reasonably priced and get your money's worth.
Not only are the staff so kind, but the food is delicious! The dips are good and the lunch special does not disappoint! Highly recommend to all!

I love the food, the ambiance and the people, this place feels warm and welcoming and thier turkish delight is to die for...you must try the rose, pomogranate and pestachio turkish delight it melts...in your mouth...you feel like you died in the taste of turkey !
Loved it, definitely going back. Had the borek, gozleme & daily special between two, really yummy authentic meal. Family run business, excellent service & even offered complimentary home made turkish delight!
Never dissapoints! Service is of top quality and the food is what you would get in a traditional Turkish household! Made from love! If you're ever driving down Balwyn road, stop in for a meal or some traditional sweets!
Best in eastern suburbs, Manamen with Sucuk definitely worth a try!!! Closest thing to a home cool breakfast. Will become my new local. Try the Turkish coffee with milk and some Turkish delight.
Absolutely the best cafe in Balwyn. Staff are genuine and service to match. Food is AWESOME, traditional turkish sweets are the best I've had and most importantly... The coffee is top notch!! Definitely recommend!!
Decadence. This is a hidden gem. Wonderful place to indulge in delicious Turkish delicacies. Great service,& very friendly.
A point of Difference in a sea of Same-ness. This is a different type of coffee shop. There's the usual good Italian-style barista coffee-and cake. Also there's a great variety of Turkish coffees and teas with Turkish delights in an intimate environment in half a dozen tables. Give it a go! I love the Turkish coffee!
Wow. Friendly staff, excellent service. Food is always fresh and perfect everytime I go. Coffee and tea are amazing and desserts are mind blowing. This place is great!!
