We asked our Turkish instructor from Art Masterclass for a local, authentic restaurant…read morerecommendation and she immediately said Taste of Turkey. That was good enough for us! We made reservations immediately for a future evening we had free! Days later, off we went to the multicultural suburb of Newtown! The weather was cool and the restaurant had both indoor and outdoor seating. We were seated by our hostess Sevda who recalled my reservation requested dairy free and gluten limited. She really did an amazing job working with us on our orders to ensure my dietary needs were met. We enjoyed Çig Köfte for our appetizer. A squeeze of lemon over it and this spicy, bulgar wheat dish was spectacular! My wonder wife had a lamb entree and I had the vegetarian entree modified to be both dairy and gluten free. Both were incredible! The flavors and consistencies and presentation were astounding! Wow! Life is good when you just follow local recommendations in a new city with infinite choices.

Omg delicious!) and comes with mixed salad and hummus I can tell the hummus is house fresh made and it was best hummus I never try so far. I'm just visiting here. So I don't know when I come back to this place? Definitely I will miss this place! The food was delicious and bomb and plus best service?? Omg best restaurant!!

Decided to try this place out as I walked past this restaurant…read more There are two seating choices: indoors or outdoors. At the time I was there, there was only one other person who sat indoors. The interior design of this restaurant is modern yet elegant - had some middle eastern touches on its design. Upon looking at the sample menu in the front, my eyesight glued upon chicken pilavs (Turkish style risotto) as it has cream sauce and was pan tossed with sliced mushrooms, cubed chickens and shallots. It was definitely tasty like what the menu described. It has lemony taste, the pilavs was soft yet chewy and the cream was in right proportion to linger the tastebuds. It was still hot when it was served and realized that just after I put a spoonful of it in the mouth. Tried the lemon lime bitters. It was actually soda with syrup. Was fizzy when it was served and you would need to stir the bottom to mix the beverage. Was pretty good as it has strong fruity taste that I yearn for. Overall, price wise it was pretty high for me but probably on the normal range for Australian market. The lady who served me was also cheerful and asked me how was the food. Seemed like many people had commented "loved it" that she wasn't responding to my comment. Will be back again if I'm craving for more risottos.

I ordered the Halal Snack Pack (of course!) and a classic lamb kebab, and both were out of this world.

You can tell why they've earned the Guinness World Record for the world's largest kebab. They're not messing around. If you're in Sydney and haven't been yet, you're missing out. 10/10 would return--next time, I'm bringing the whole crew!

It was comfortable and the servers made sure our heat lamp was working. We ordered an array of dishes, including the hummus, beetroot falafel, salad of smoked freekeh, and clay pot manti.

So many amazing dishes to try!

Ok, my personal opinion is that we should not be paying a bucket load for street food - no matter…read morehow exotic. So there is currently a new fab of making a place looking good in order to charge a lot of money, yet the food is always sub-pa. However, this is not that kind of place. Firstly, the outlay of this place simple and not fancy in the slightest. There is a kebab takeaway shop attached to it, so it easy not even think there is a restaurant here. But going through the kebab shop you can sit down and have access to some of the best Turkish food in Surry Hills. The food here is brilliant! Get the mixed grill - you won't regret it! The meat here is fantastic. But you can't go past their pide bread and all there amazing dips. Everything is a good portion, and you won't walk out hungry at all. If you come on a Saturday night, you can also experience some belly dancing and Turkish music - yes it is a bit cliched, but also a lot of fun. If you don't like audience participation, then maybe avoide this, but if you want to laugh and eat good food then come along.

I used to live around the corner from here and so have dined in a bunch of times and grabbed…read moretakeaway a bunch more. The best thing about this place is the dips. Oh, and the Turkish bread. It's a very close tie. The dips are ridiculously good. You can just drop in and buy them by the container, which I've done on a number of occasions for house parties and BBQs. The hommus, babaganoush and beetroot are all fantastic. (Heavy on garlic, but damn delicious.) The Turkish bread is also cooked to perfection. You can take one away for a couple of bucks and they'll wrap it up in butcher's paper for you. Grab one of these (they're huge), plus a few small dips and you're set for a picnic in the park. If you're dining in, treat yourself to a bunch of yum vego sides like stuffed vine leaves and falafels. There's also a huge selection of pides. Seriously huge. The flat kusbasili with diced leg of lamb, onion, tomato, capsicum, parsley and spices is brilliant, as is the folded potato with onion, spinach and cheese. I'd also recommend trying a few bits and pieces from the grilled menu (the mince kofte are good) and of course a few traditional desserts. (Hey, you need to try them out, right?!) Go the bird's nest baklava or coconut semolina.

Don't let that deter you from coming, though - just keep it in mind.

While inside is nicely decorated with wooden tables and chairs, there is nothing better than sitting at an outside table in the Spring sun with live music from a solo guitar/harmonica player. The menu has a good selection of pastas and pizzas to select, and not your usually sauces either. I went with a gorganzola gnocchi and the wife had penne arrabiatta. My sauce was amazingly creamy. The gorganzola had just enough bite to be present without it overpowering the other flavours. The gnocchi was a bit soft but I could tell it was home made. The arrabiatta had soft delicate peppery notes lingering in the smooth tomato sauce. The penne was cooked perfectly. The service was outstanding. The staff were friendly and they knew the menu well. Well presented and very well spoken. The wait time was average. I don't mean that in a negative way - it was neither long nor short. The place was fairly busy and they got our food out in a respectable time. We would definitely come here again. Might try the pizza next time.
