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.

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.

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. Every dish was delicious. The flavors were bright and the ingredients were very fresh. The clay pot manti was good but not our favorite. The flavors were not as vibrant and fresh as the other dishes. So many amazing dishes to try!

While the outside area is hookah oriented, the indoor seating is vibrant and comfortable for a full and proper meal. We stopped in around 8 pm and proceeded to order a mix of items. To begin, we had the three dips (baba, hummus, roasted red pepper hummus) which was the perfect starter given how hungry we both were. Additionally, the V mango mojitos were the right balance and quenches our long walk induced thirst. The fried kibbeh were next, piping hot and delicious. For the entree portion, we shared the large and plentiful lamb shank tagine (broth was solid and the lamb shank was melt in your mouth good) and the chicken shish kebab (the sauce and marination was exceptional). Both were presented very nicely. The chicken was exceptional and the tagine was very flavorful. We ended the night wuite appropriately with some nice, piping hot tea. Overall, the meal was a very memorable part of my Sydney trip - definitely recommend the food, ambiance, and the smooth dinner experience.

They were so enticing, baba ganoush and all, you couldn't stop eating the addictive food! I also really enjoyed the mains, and loved how the meat was brought out on a skewer - it looked a little badass, like a sword skewering the prey! Overall, great place to eat, although the service isn't very polite, and have a tendency to be a little impatient!

While Glebe has a lot of cafes and restaurants to choose from the wife and I landed at this place…read moreafter we read the menu. 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.
