What a fabulous discovery in the back streets of Kew. Willsmere Station is cafe by day and a fabulous bar by night. Specialising in Turkish and Middle Eastern influences, the food here is outstanding. Every mouthful is a delicious treat, and flavour bombs abound in every dish.

This cafe is small, but full of heart; and the decor, with it's pops of pink... wall art, coffee machine and neon sign, really make it a gorgeous place to dine. The owners are so sweet and welcoming, and do everything to make you feel completely relaxed. We started with some amazing Turkish wine, and then ordered several of the house specialties for our dinner.

For entree we had the daily special of spinach and cheese filo cigars. Piping hot, crunchy and with plenty of oozy cheese, these little parcels were sublime. We also had delicious eggplant chips with a heavenly aioli and a bowl of fragrant cauliflower fried in aromatic spices.

I was keen to try the Manti, Turkish beef ravioli in yogurt. These tiny little parcels are quite different to Italian ravioli, but are delicious and addictive. The yogurt sauce is something unusual, but the tangy flavour actually worked.

We also had the lamb stew which was also fantastic. The lamb was so tender, the sauce was rich with flavour and we couldn't get enough of it.

With such a fantastic meal under our belts, it was hard to believe that the best way yet to come. Dessert!! We were recommended the Kunefe, a traditional Middle Eastern dessert of shredded pastry filled with oozy, salty cheese. Served with homemade pomegranate ice cream and an irresistible rose syrup, this was one of the most creative and delicious desserts that I have had recently. Everything about this plate was fantastic, and I'm so glad that I experienced this fabulous dish.

Willsmere Station has an abundance of character with it's chic ambience, fun staff and fabulous Turkish menu. This amazing cafe and bar wouldn't be out of place in the CBD, so to find it in the suburbs is an absolute treat.
