The food was great! Mostly the service was 10/10 felt very welcomed and at ease the minute I stepped in the restaurant. The price, quality and the range was amazing (very generous). The ambiance was something out of the Mediterranean, felt like I went overseas. Definitely will be returning, especially for the Turkish tea and baklava!
Had a wonderful evening at Bodrum with Sandi, VAP and Stead. Food was fabulous, we entrusted our host Aidan, to make recommendations on what to eat and his selections didn't disappoint. The staff were all friendly and the service couldn't be faulted. We'll be back again without doubt.
WOW!
I must start by saying, whoever feels the importance of genuine and passionate service, MUST dine at Bodrum!
Everything certainly tastes that much better =)
Took dad for his birthday, and rest assured, he had the best dinning experience in his 54 yrs....A man who doesn't particularly fancy seafood, ate everything without hesitation, and eagerly awaits our next visit.
We settled for the Essendon Banquet and immensely enjoyed every serving, full of exclusive flavours and quality produce.
Timing between courses were perfectly spread, allowing us to settle before our next WOW.
(Whoever say's they left here hungry, must have a hole in their gut!)
I highly recommend visiting Bodrum, and would like to (again) thank the team for an amazing dinning experience.
We'll be back very soon!
Beautiful place. Best customer service I have seen in any restaurant and couldn't fault any of the food items. All the meat and fish were like butter. Stunning. Recommended.
Thank you Bodrum for a fantastic Mother’s Day lunch. Food was amazing and the service was fantastic. Can’t wait to return with our friends. Thanks Aiden looking forward to seeing you next tine we come in .
I love to eat out and hate getting disappointed but Bodrum, you ticked all my boxes. Firstly, great service, reasonably priced
and most of all outstanding food.
It brings coastal Turkish Medaterainian food to your feet In the heart of Melbourne. This seafood is to die for.
Highly recommended.
This place is awesome! Delicious seafood. Had the specialities (seafood risotto and prawn guvec)- both flavorsome and seafood cooked to perfection. Also had midye dolma for entree also really tasty. Definitely will be back to try more dishes. Really great ambiance too.
Fantastic service, hospitality and really warm atmosphere.
The menu is very Mediterranean and offers a real taste of coastal Turkey.
Starter dishes you have to try: Eggplant dip, Calamari Salad, Midye Dolma(Stuffed Mussels), Essendon Oysters. Ask for the lightly fried sardines as these are mainly offered on weekends. Mains: Prawn Guvec is a specialty and a must try for a first timer.
Always a very pleasant experience.
Greated at the door with friendly staff - service terrific food delicious - banquet was Devine,the meats tender and full of flavour- ambience spot on- ! Will definitely be back
For seafood lovers like me, this place is absolutely beautiful. Food is great and staff are very hospitable. Overall a very good experience.
Great customer service, we were greeted warmly and food were quick to serve. Food and drinks were really good. We got the banquet menu which was a bit pricey for the portions that we received. The saganaki cut was a bit weird as we got like 1 and a half triangle for two? 😅 But overall, we enjoyed our first time trying a Mediterranean restaurant.
Had dinner here with family for the first time today & we all loved it. Great customer service, we were greeted very warmly. Lovely ambience. The food was delicious. The saganaki, calamari & fish dishes, the mushroom perfectly done. Had kunefe for the first time & it was 👌
We will definitely be back.
We had dinner in a really decent atmosphere. We thank Mr. Aydın for everything, he is very warm and smiling, and he made us feel like we were at home. The food is really delicious, the service is perfect, I can recommend it to everyone with peace of mind, you won't regret it. Thank you and greetings.
Absolutely the best food in Melbourne we eat out all the time and nothing compares to this the tastes are true authentic and everything is always fresh and consistent and we are never ever disappointed..oh correction only when they have sold out of their delicious seafood platter or amazing unique calamari salad, we eat there at least twice a week its home cooked fresh food and affordable and the owners are the nicest people in the world love Bodrum xx
5 star cuisine and service. As soon as you step in you know you are going to have a delightful experience. We requested plates to share and it was delicious! We started with fresh pita and dips. Yum ! Fish, lamb and chicken were tender and melt in your mouth tender. Dessert was the best Künefe I have ever tasted. The service very professional and friendly. We will back again.
So fresh. So very more-ish.
You must have the trio of dips. All made on premises.... the taste will astound you.
We had lamb, chicken and fish dishes. I could not believe how tender and delightful each bite was. Exquisite cuisine. This restaurant is certainly a must to visit.
The host and hostess (owners) really care and attend to each person like family.
As you can tell "I'm really impressed, especially for a first visit".
Well done. Can't wait to come back to Melbourne to eat, drink and enjoy your hospitality again.
Always a pleasure and a treat coming here! The service is incredible and the food certainly lives up to the hype. The meat and seafood platters are to die for. They come with so much food, it’s impossible not to feel full. The staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel welcome. If there’s one item you need to eat, it’s the cheese cigars!! Even they know they are my fave. I can’t wait to come back :)
