Diners can take a seat on the al fresco covered terrace (great for people watching), inside near the bar, where the back window offers a local vista or in the cosy dining room to one side which doubles as a function space.

From the signature mezze platters and wood-fired pides to succulent chargrilled meats and homemade desserts, every dish is made from authentic recipes, fresh ingredients, and using time-honored cooking techniques.

Drop by in the morning for an Instanbul-style breakfast such as Spinach and Feta Börek Rolls (traditional börek filled with feta, mozzarella & spinach in crisp pastry, with herb yoghurt); Stuffed Imam Bayildi (slow-roasted eggplant stuffed with sautéed onion, tomato & capsicum, topped with garlic yoghurt); or Mixed Mezze (signature falafel, lamb kofta, and sigara börek served with house pickle, Turkish bread, and a dip of choice). To accompany there's Turkish coffee or Turkish Apple Tea as well as a selection of standard coffees and teas, dirty chai and mocha.
