They do take away as well and last time hey offered me a free cup of Turkish tea with my main. If you've never had a full Turkish breakfast I highly recommend you go try it and order several things on the menu sit back and take it easy. You'll be there for hours if done properly. Love the tea pots they bring out to the table too, it's clear to see they are authentic Turkish cooks cooking up authentic Turkish food.

Lunch for three people that costs less than $30?…read more Unheard of right? Not at Zaatar! If you're looking for quick, fresh and well priced middle eastern food then this is your place. Great for families and friends who want to share a few dishes in a casual (think: fast food) environment. It's certainly not going to win any decor or ambience prizes, but I like the family-friendly atmosphere and it hit the spot when I needed lunch in a short time frame. Order and pay at the counter and then take your wooden spoon table number and set up at one of the many tables. I shared two mixed plates of mezze (felafel, kibbeh and other fried morsels), salads (super fresh fattoush and tabbouli) and dips with Miss 3 and my favourite +1. The mix and match approach to this style of dining is great when you're trying to please varying tastes and appetites. I could have lived with less of the fried pastry-like mezze and more of the felafel so next time will specify which mezze we want rather than leaving the selection to the server. I'll also be trying out the lebanese pizzas. Starting at a mere $1 and constantly being made in full-view of the floor. Pro tip: Grab a bottle of hot sauce from the water/cutlery

The food is incredible, definitely has that home-cooked with a lot of love flavour. The guy there is really friendly and welcoming.

We came for breakfast, and left planning a trip to Turkey…read more We started with a Turkish coffee each, and then shared a lamb mince Gözleme and a Turkish breakfast, which was an amazing array of bowls filled with olives, boiled eggs, cheese, small slices of sausage and more - with plenty of Turkish bread to eat it all up on. Surprisingly filling, we struggled to finish it all. The decor is great - and makes the Teahouse double as a bazaar of sorts, with everything from lights to rugs, handbags and decorative doors all carrying price tags. Definitely something different from your 'smashed avo' cafe on every corner, but that's a good thing. Might not be a place we visit every weekend, but will be sure to pop in from time to time to shake things up and try something new and interesting. Service was incredibly friendly too. Worth checking out.

Tulum is a hidden gem in a rough neighbourhood. Though Tulum appears to be named after a city in…read moreMexico, it is actually a Turkish restaurant. Make a booking as it gets pretty busy on a Friday evening. Free street parking available after 5pm on a Friday night. The menu offers small and large mezze with all dishes designed for sharing. Don't let the word mezze fool you. You don't receive a platter. Dishes are small and tapas sized - even the mains. So I recommend going for the 6 courses menu. Between us, we had the following 1. Kuzu lamb - slow cooked Lamb with smoked aubergine under grilled capsicum - smoky in flavour and delicate lamb 2. Fava bean - two squares of almost cheesecake textured fava bean topped with berries, peas and some herb. Very uniquely flavoured with a slight citrus flavour. Unique. 3. Pilaf with mussels - two small mounds of deliciously flavoured Rice with mussels in some oily souplike substance. Quite buttery 4. Barramundi in yoghurt sauce. - who knew barramundi went well with yoghurt. And safrron flavoured too. Yummmmm. The food was so good that we had to try dessert. We went for the Jerusalem artichoke crumble with plum. Tasted like a cinnamon rice flavoured pudding with crumble. So many flavours and quite sweet. The Turkish coffee is quite strong and comes with some dark smooth Turkish chocolate. Service is great. Each dish is introduced and explained when it arrives. Food is served quickly. Each dish comes out one at a time giving you time to enjoy each dish. Plates are cleared after every dish; So you can enjoy the new unique flavours of each dish. Split billing provided. For bigger heavier portions I think next time my friend and I will go for the Turkish pide or the cheese dish. Fancy venue. The cocktails look delectable with great attention to detail. Definitely a great place for a date. Definitely expensive so be prepared to spend 70-80 per person excluding drinks.

We are seated outside on little stools. It's a hit day. We feel like salads. Their counter salads look great but come with a catch. You can't order a salad as a main only as a side and you can't mix two. And it's a small side place of 13.50. Or you can get takeaway for two salads for 13.50 is a small sumo sized salad cup. Why because they're promoting something called responsible cafes so apparently cardboard takeaway containers and plastic spoons are responsible. Yes the waiter thought it was a bit much too but what can he do. 13.50 for a small salad takeaway is already overpriced. Yes I had the fish bulgur salad which was sensational and their eggplant tahini salad was to die for but I had takeaway walked 10 minutes to Edinburgh gardens with better seating less noisy and a nice atmosphere. Also their small sized coffee is 4 dollars and weak. Recommend getting takeaway only. You won't be saving the environment but you will definitely make less of a hole in your pocket. Menu is definitely to die for and staff are lovely despite the insanity that prevails.

We got greeted with smiley and friendly staff - always a good start to the day. Place is small but the turnaround was pretty fast! We got a table straight away. The cuisine is turkish-greek and the dishes are absolutely delicious and full of flavour. We tried a bit of the spanakopita to start, which was no less than my greek grandmother's homemade pita! We had the baked eggs and avocado ezme with a side of sesame koulouri and no joke we licked the plates clean! So much flavour and very generous portions. There are so many options for those who want a takeaway - a cabinet full of delicious pitas, salads, boreks and little bites! Oh coffee is from code black and perfect!
