Coming here for years, never fails to disappoint
Absolutely top Babs and HSP's. I have a Muslim colleague who told me that the religion the guys who own this place practice isn't Islam - it's food. You will have to wait to get your order, but that is the price for a place so popular. If you're new to Canberra and in the area, give it a go, you won't leave disappointed. HSP with the holy trinity is the go. It truly is the king of South side Turkish food.
This place is soooooo busy. Arrived at 6pm and the line started to extend out the door. Not a surprise though, as every man and his dog I have spoken to from Canberra raves about Yarra Kebabs. We enjoyed a vegetarian and chicken pide, plus a Halal Snack Pack. The dough for the pide was stretched in front of our eyes, and turned out piping hot - delicious. The snack pack was also super tasty. Will return for a Kebab next visit to ACT!
I've only had take away and I'm in love with their doner kebabs- love the freshness of the parsley and the veggies they stuff in. Generous serving too. Good job you'll.
There’s a kebab shop at every nook n corner in Australia...however I bet my bottom dollar that you have never been to any like the one at Yarralumla. The meat is fresh and well cooked, dips are tasty - just what you would expect from your favourite kebab joint. What takes your breath away is the Bread - freshly baked delicious Turkish bread - have it separately or your kebab wrapped in it - anyway you like it.
We came here to get takeaway for dinner. It's busy and the ordering system can be a bit confusing (Luckily, we had a fellow customer who helped us out)
Between two people, we shared a chicken kebab and the mixed izgara main (mixed skewers, kofte, lamb cutlet with rice and salad). Good quantity and yummy food.
The Zomato app is amazing. We were hungry so put lunch into the app. This place was close. We arrived and the place was packed and we were so impressed how efficiently the staff got through all of the customers. The Kebab OMG so fresh fantastic flavours and huge. The chicken, tabouli and garlic sauce was a 10/10. A must visit to pick up lunch then enjoy by the lake.
Best kebab in town however my kebab was a lot smaller last night and I hope this isn't the change they are bringing in as jam packed kebabs was there selling point and what everyone goes there for.
The famous kebab place in Yarralumla was packed at lunchtime on a Saturday as expected. This place is a no frills eatery that serves quality food at a reasonable price. I must admit that the portions are HUGE so please bring your appetite. The shop has EFTPOS which is a relief.
We ordered a cheese, mushroom and olive pide topped with sesame seeds onion seeds, which was fantastic. We also ordered the mixed grill plate.. which came with a grilled lamb cutlet, a lamb kefta, a chicken shish kebab, a lamb kebab, mixed green salad, Turkish rice and youghurt sauce. The meats were well cooked and seasoned well, with the lamb cutlet having a slight char which was delectable.
The overall quantity of food was such that the three of us could not finish the food.
I will have to postpone trying the kebabs till my next visit, because I will definitely be back.
Recommended.
The best kebab you'll buy - the new writing your order system is impersonal and awkward. The shop needs a redesign and the staff need an attitude check; the food however, speaks for itself. Generous portions and delicious vegetarian options. They need to ditch the minimum eftpos and stock a better drinks fridge. 1 kebab between 2 will do.
Definitely the best kebab in Canberra and I dare say Australia! The chicken cut is crispy on the edges and soft and juicy on the inside. The lamb is really tasty and well seasoned. The pita bread is also quite different to other places. It is thicker than usual, soft and slightly chewy. If you get a banquet package, the rice, veggies and dips that come with it are also delicious. Frankly, though, the young men working there could be less rude. Funnily enough, that slight rudeness has never stopped my family and I from going there.
We promised Kebab reviews and finally, after much hesitation and attempts to delay, here it is. The delay was due to some people wishing to return and try the food from this place again, just to make sure they remembered the kebabs correctly. Certain people may suspect these urrr, ‘pure’ motives.

Yes I do admit it is dam good. I admit I dont eat lamb and prefer a beef one but I gave in Sunday night as my daughter just had to have a kebab as I promised her a Kebab and pokemon hunting. I was amazed at ho enormous they are and how beautiful the bread is and over all the whole thing. So now this Saturday night is again Kebab and Pokemon hunting . The restaurant as we walked in was packed and smelled delicious.
OMG!!! The best ever Kebabs. I have never been treated to such greatness before. The flavours were delicious and the sauces not over the top. Wishing that I lived closer. Either that or they should open a shop in Melbourne. Traditional food with traditional flavours.
The best kebab in Canberra? The majority of people I speak to all mention ‘that’ Turkish place in Yarralumla. That Turkish place is the Turkish Halal Pide House at the Yarralumla shops. I had tried it once at least 6 years ago and thought it was about time I made another trip. J and I got there at about 2.30pm one Saturday afternoon, a late lunch for us, and we thought it wouldn’t be that busy. We were wrong. There was a queue backed up all the way to the door.
Stopped by to try their famous kebabs. We had heard the queue is often out the door, but thankfully not quite that busy today.
Our kebabs were great - thick homemade bread with a mountain of meat. Too big for me though, I couldn't finish it.
The restaurant is small, with limited seating available inside.
Lots and lots of other meal options available too.
Ahh, the taste of fresh, fresh, fresh Turkish food. Everything about this place is worth the queue out the door on weekends - all the breads are fresh, the dips, salads....amazingly good. (Food) memories are made of this.
Without any doubt whatsoever this is THE greatest find in Canberra. OMG, the kebabs are incredible with flavourful meat, fresh salad and super tasty sauces on freshly baked bread.
Make sure you also bring your appetite because the servings are huge and for a tiny price compared to any other kebab place.
Do your taste buds and stomach a favour and get down here to experience what thousands of Canberrans have already done.
Be sure to have patience before you arrive as the lineup to order can be out the door.
Why did it take me this long to experience this unbelievable food!!!
Authentic Turkish kebab shop. What a menu! Extensive menu of delicious, well priced home style Turkish grill, bread and salads. Very impressed with this small and bustling take away shop.
This shop is a golden standard. The quality and quantity of the food for your money makes it a great return of investment. The guys at the shop are great.
Very good kebabs. Each is massive with generous amount of meat as fillings. You can taste how fresh the kebab bread is. Meat has nice flavour and very juicy.
Hands down the best kebab I have ever eaten, and I wasn't even drunk this time. Also, if you bought me some of their beetroot dip I would be yours forever.
The best kebabs around. Fresh ingredients and quality food. Always go here every time I visit Canberra. Only down side would be it's location is far from the cbd and their customer service is very much rushed... As if you're taking up so much of their time and always pushing you back out the door... Should be an experience in staying and eating here
Best turkish bread in town, more often than not, fresh out of the oven. Rice dishes, kebabs, dips, pide with cured meat, all great options :)
Great kebabs every time, with your choice of salads and sauces. Their pita bread is always soft and fluffy, and you get a mountain of meat. Expect to have to wait in line a little if you go during the lunch rush - have seen the queue going out the door!
I bloody love this place and will be back again, and again, and again, if visiting by myself I will order with my stomach and not my eyes. I will also prefer to attend and enjoy this more with friends, as sharing these foods will be the winning combo.
Great food in Canberra. Great food, not fancy seating. Best to book if you want a seat on arrival. We had banquet for 2ppl, was enough for 2 adults and 2 kids aged around 10-12. Still left with doggy bags. Great value for $40 for dinner. Best takeaway we have had. Was a little bit rushed..... Could have spaced dished out a bit more. Kids loved it, highly recommend.
Great Food, need to move to bigger premises. The food here is amazingly good, and very reasonably priced. It used to be my local when I worked in Deakin, and I miss it when I'm needing a Turkish fix. Fantastic kebabs, great pides, and the bread is to die for. That said, its alkmost impossible to dine in, the room is so cramped and noisy. Expand, guys.
The long line of people waiting to order is an indication of how popular this place is. Simply excellent food. The banquet had very generous portions. We'll be back again.
My absolute favourite kebab place. The bread is amazing, meat well marinated (I always go for the chicken), huge generous servings, great value. Delicious kabak (zucchini puffs) too. The picnic packs look great as a non kebab option. But honestly, can't go past the kebabs.
I have tried kebabs, deep in kebab territory, in every city in Australia. Yarralumla kebabs are easily the best. Amazing flavours, great service and plentiful serves to tame any beast. 100%.
Wow. Could not taste better.. Coming from Brisbane, this experience has certainly put my Brisbane kebabs to shame. Beautiful food, fast and friendly service. The combination kebab ... amazing!
This place serves the best food on the planet!!! They catered for a party we had at home, delivered piping hot on time with smiles. I'm a very regular customer - they are efficient, swift and serve great food with generous portions. This place is truly Canberra's best kept secret.
Amazing. Greatest kebab ever. The most perfect bread and delicious meat in town.
Tasty and good value food. I find the pide a bit salty though
The best food in canberra hands down!. Massive meals awesome value, you will be soooo full with still food left on the table. We had the ottoman banquet for two but it could have fed four with leftovers, the food is to die for, we will be coming back to canberra just for this!
Super quick, super tasty, super size!

Fresh, crazy fun. If you're hungry, you need Turkish Halal Pide House. After seeing all the great reviews we came here on Friday evening to try the eat-in banquet. The shop was chaos, with two lines (one for ordering, one for paying? Except when we went to pay, in which case someone kindly told us to go straight up to the counter) and a constant stream of people. 'Constant' is no exaggeration-- the line was out the door most of the time! It's easy to see why: the interior is pure takeaway-chic, but the food is fresh and there is a LOT of it. We received a fast and never-ending stream of dips, bread, skewers and salad. Then, when we were stuffed, two enormous Turkish pizzas arrived! We had to take them away, we were so full. The staff were no-nonsense with takeaway customers (someone ordered by phone but turned up a couple of minutes late, and received a dressing-down), but they were fine with us.
The takeaway is much more popular than the sit-down, and we shared our booth with other people waiting for food, but it was quite a fun and delicious experience. Recommended for kebab fiends.
A great find!!! We were in .... A great find!!!
We were in town for one night and somehow ended up in this beautiful restaurant, and it was fantastic. Pide was sooooo good. Yum! Definitely coming back again.
Tried their Lamb Kebab with hot chilli sauce and loved it! Huge portions, great taste and good value for money - a great option for students wanting a quick meal. I was pleasantly surprised on how spicy their hot chilli sauce was and would recommend it to anyone looking for a spicy fix. Just a note, the restaurant closes by 8pm so come early to avoid disappointment!
A hidden gem. Fresh and tasty food, friendly service and at a great price. What else can I say?
Apparently if you are looking for the best Turkish place in Canberra, you will have to come to Turkish Halal Pide House. Situated in Yarraluma, this place was worth the drive for some authentic cuisine. Their website says that they take reservations, so I made a booking for 3 people that night. Upon arrival with my 2 other friends, we were surprised that all the tables were taken. This place appeared to be more like a takeaway place than an actual restaurant. I explained to the owner about the situation and she quickly asked a table of the customers if they have finished eating. We were surprised by this act, but the customers were very easy-going, they left quickly and the table was soon cleared out. The interior of the place. More for takeaway than formal dining. We had our eyes set on the banquet menu, which was around $20 per person on the website. We wanted the “Halal Pidehouse Banquet” which consisted of selection of dips, pide bread , kabak, falafel, salad, rice, lamb skewers, c
One can't get more authentic Turkish cuisine than this in Canberra. It's genuine, traditional food served at it's freshest.
really great spot for kebabs! clearly the locals know about this as it was continuously busy!
to order you go in and grab a wrapper and pen, then tick the boxes/ingredients you want.. hand it over n pay
super easy and super efficient!
the kebabs are super generous in serving size! and packs in a heap of meat but still giving a good ratio between meats n salad n sauce. one kebab can def feed two! (or feeds one if ur super hungry!)
they got a few outdoor tables if you wanna sit n eat but this place is predominantly a takeaway shop
A $21 Lamb and Veggie Pide will feed three big blokes (and a cat) with some left over. Their dough isn't a standard bread but rather more of a sourdough-type, making for an interesting additional taste to what is already a flavourful meal. Please check the picture showing how much you get. I will definitely be going back there again.
5 stars for food!! This is not the place if you want cloth napkins and table service. It is loud and a real family atmosphere. The staff are lovely and funny if you give them a break this is an incredibly busy place and they do a great job for the amount of people that they serve.
We have been going there for 5 years and will continue to go back because the food is amazing and the service great.
Delicious Turkish food. The best kebab in Canberra, for sure. I recommend.
Tasty, pretty good kebab for Canberra. Beware as the kebabs are piping hot! Also, if you’re eating in be on the lookout for magpies and ibises hunting for food.
Great value for money and one of the best kebab around canberra and the great part is they make their own bread there so it’s always soft, tasty and fresh even the magpies love it 😆
