Whilst enjoying a sunny afternoon in Carlton we stumbled across this Turkish gem of a restaurant. Figured we'd stop in for refreshments and something light. The owners were friendly and had an at table ordering service in place.
The system was easy to navigate and our order came out quickly. Upon our next visit I'd definitely suggest trying a traditional Turkish kebab.
I ordered the lamb kebab in Turkish bread and it was soooo good! Succulent slices of perfectly cooked tender lamb. Smothered in chilli and garlic sauce.
I went back again for dinner the same night to snack on a beef borek. Not the most amazing thing but not bad.
Spied from our hotel window diagonally opposite, IloveIstanbul beckoned for the evening takeaway for these weary travellers. How fortunate the Deluxe lamb kebab platters with rice and salad were not only delicious but generous, we only needed one between two! Two kinds of dips and Turkish bread topped it off. Value!
One of the great Turkish/ Arabic eateries in Fitzroy. Visited this place earlier but last one when the lockdown was eased and visitors were allowed with vaccination proofs. The lady at the front desk is very friendly, always checking with you if you are comfortable with the food, served food on time, We have tried mixed Kebabs plate, fries and Turkish rice. Overall a nice experience.
Beautiful beautiful food and service! I'm from Brisbane, and it was so nice to visit this local restaurant. They also managed to cater food for vegans and special dietary requirements.
Even though they were very busy and severely understaffed, their customer service was still fantastic and they managed to make me feel really welcome!
If I'm ever back in Melbourne again I will definitely be back! <3
Never been disappointed.
I always get a large lamb box and it is always hot, fresh and of the highest quality.
I have tried other things from the menu the chicken, the full range of dips, the bread, the falafels...unable to fault anything.
if I could give half stars I would give 4.5
Mixed kebab was delicious with beautiful Turkish bread, the only downside was not quite as much meat as I’d have liked. Chips hot and crispy.
