Great atmosphere and good food.
Most of the dishes are defined for sharing so you might want to hold back on getting that extra bread basket ;)
We had:
- Smoked Red Capsicum: it was a bit bitter for my taste
- Beef Brisket: loved this one. beef was so tender. The rice pilaf was very filling.
- Island Rocket Salad: yum but i kind of more dressing.
Will come again and try their lunch.
Best Turkish cuisine I've had since ottoman cuisine closed in Sydney. The Turkish coffee is fragrant and strong (a good start), the Turkish delight tasted very authentic as well.
The lunch set $29 each, was unbeatable value. The bread basket is huge and the breads are so tasty, I loved the spicy capsicum and the hummus the most, the green olive teppanade has good flavours but very strong in taste. The mains get better, the char grilled chicken is full of flavour and very juicy, the falafel is the best I can remember eating in recent years, it's succulent in the inside and perfectly crispy on the outsid (without tasting oily at all). I loved the "meatballs" (they looked a lot more like rissoles to me) the most, and I generally don't like eating meat of any kind. The meatballs were super moist and had nice crisp texture to it, and it paired perfectly with the rice.
Definately coming back
The food here is just fantastic! Whenever I find myself in Crows Nest, I always make time to visit this place. The dishes are so tasty and the baklava is easily the best in Australia! The atmosphere is also very nice. I highly recommend this Turkish cafe/restaurant if you are looking for great flavours!
