This is my all time favourite Turkish restaurant to go too. I absolutely love the grills here, they never disappoint. Cooked to perfection - juicy and tender, makes it hard to pick what I want so I usually get the mixed grill. The dips are phenomenal, all of them have the best flavour but my combo is the hommus and chilli- wow!! The iskender is the best here, never had it anywhere as good. Love the cosy ambience of this restaurant and the feeling of being relaxed and enjoying my Saturday night out with some belly dancer to watch - who by the way is very interactive with the crowd and pleasant to watch!
Had the dips as recommended by a friend. Friendly staff let me try their dips before I made my decision. Hommus and Baba Ganoush (eggplant) were a tie last night. Will return to try the other dips and the kebab :)) Beautiful home made dips and addictive :))
Hands down the best Turkish Pide in Sydney.
The rainbow dips are awesome to dip your pide into also.
I get the sausage, spinach, cheese and egg!
Can’t wait to come here again.
I love Turkish food and I have eaten a fair bit of it this year. ERCIYES is the OG and has been my favourite since 2001. My only gripe is I don’t live around the corner anymore and it’s too far to get my regular pide fix. I need more excuses for dinners in the Redfern/ Surry Hills area.

This was standout Turkish but you pay for it. There was a high level of quality in all the dishes. Tender tasty meat, fresh-made rice and veges, good dips. The pide was a standout, with crisp bases/exteriors but oily flavoursome interiors, something I hadn't seen outside of Turkey, plus good chunks of tender lamb on one of them. Of course, $17 for a pide and over $20 for grills requires this quality. The servings are a reasonable size but not huge.
I love this place. It's been a family favourite for as long as I can remember. Good food at reasonable prices and the staff were friendly, courteous, and accommodating.
Order the parsley dip with some Turkish bread as a starter; it's to die for!
The dips and the bread were great, the main were also nice however not out of the world. My friends really enjoyed the lentil soup however it tasted to me more like Indian Arhaar Daal. There was a big dance performance by a Middle East dancer, not belly but similar and the audience really enjoyed as she was trying to get people to dance with her. I just found it to be but it on the pricey side from a overall value point of view.
Can't comment on the service as was really quick bite and didn't book so had to flip the table quickly. The food, however, delicious!!! Got a falafel plate, 4 crispy outside, well seasoned delish balls, generous dollop of homos and tabouli and peynirli pide. Fresh turkish bread, delicious salty cheese, fluffy eggs. One of the best Ive had. Looking forward to going back to try more of the menu.

Went back after 10 years and the quality is still as great as ever. Had a beautiful Turkish coffee and their signature pide. Stomach is happy.
Mar17 Ordered the beef Iskender. It was pretty delicious.the quantity was insane and I actually had to do a take away . The bread alone was a meal by itself . The takeaway section is almost like a different restaurant
Delicious Shish Kebabs and Pide .
It’s a great place to grab a meal and catch up with friends.
There are Belly Dancers on the weekend to shake the room ..
Good, efficient service. Lovely Doner kebab and Chicken kebab both $15 each for takeaway, with good portions. Would love to come back to dine in when the lockdown is over.
Amazing food and great service. Good portions too. The below servings were shared between my partner and I easily, with food left over. The photos do not do it justice. I intend to try everything on the menu. I will be back
A nice Turkish restaurant in Surry Hill. Nothing fancy but above the average Turkish Mediterranean style food. Recommended
Very generous serving. Best Turkish resto in Sydney, I must say!
