    Amazing vegetarian options. I can highly recommend the falafel with baked cauliflower.

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

    I didn't used to head this far up Sydney Road. As far as I was concerned, the world of Brunswick…read morefinished at Albion Street. which in a sense I guess it did, further up Sydney Road heads in Coburg, which to some people's ears is another world away. But you can get here by tram. One tram heading straight out of the city could get you up to Coburg in under an hour, and in my later youth I took one such afternoon to do this. Not because I wanted to go, but simply because I had run out things to do. The magic that I did find was tucked behind several shops in the Coburg shopping strip. Near the larger supermarkets stands a shop with signage aging away from it's black painted backing. Beneath the letterforms sit people enjoying the sunshine of the late morning or early afternoon. Inside there is much bustling about. Much bustling about baked Mediterranean goods. The winner here is the safe staple of the Spinach and Cheese Pie. They call it a pie, but really it's a pastry using pizza dough. Magical melted cheese and hot spinach come from it as you bite in, many sitting down to enjoy the wonder of it all. The place also serves as a shop, selling many staples for you to make your own Mediterranean magic at home. Their sweets and coffee selection is also not to be missed. Very affordable and very very wonderful.

This place looks like a grocery store from the outside with seatings that are often filled by locals having thick black Lebanese coffees. Inside its a compact space where you will find pantry strapless, snacks, Middle Eastern ingredients, dried fruit and nuts, bread and a small bakery. Zaatar (oregano ), mince meat pizzas and Lebanese pies ( think mini pides) are a plenty here and a staple cheap lunch for locals. I wish there are Al Alamy type bakeries/store around Melbourne. Because, who doesn't like cheap lunch, thick coffee and finding new grocery items?? ( pomegranate molasses I am lookin at you ;))

    A group of friends from work decided to have a banquet here on a Friday night. There was plenty of…read morebread, dips, grilled meat and eggplant. The Turkish bread is great and baked fresh. It is BYO wine and we had several bottles of red open, so I'm not sure of all the details. The restaurant is a bit of a barn, a huge space filled with tables and no decor to speak of but when it is full of people this doesn't matter. It has such a lively, friendly family atmosphere. On another table that night there was a large Turkish family celebrating the birthday of the family matriarch. The children are playing around the dance floor waiting for the arrival of the belly dancer. When the belly-dancer does start the Turkish grandmother from the other table was eager to be invited to dance with the belly-dancer. Belly-dancing is a traditional part of Middle Eastern celebration, although one of the guys from work was embarrassed by it; but that's his problem and not the belly dancer's. After the belly dancer, there was more entertainment: a Turkish singer in an amazing red gown and a man playing Turkish dance music on a keyboard as people got up to dance. It was an amazing evening, a banquet and a complete floor-show at a very good price. I never expected so much.

    I'm going to be honest and tell you that I haven't sampled many of Melbourne's Turkish restaurants…read more But I don't think I need to when I have a regular as delicious and reliable as Pinarbasi. Before Pinarbasi, I never knew that Turkish food basically revolved around breads and dips. How I lasted 24 years before discovering this I will never know. Every time I go to Pinarbasi we have a banquet, which includes bread, dips, meats, baklava for desert and coffee. It's awesome every time. A review of Pinarbasi would not be complete without mention of its resident bellydancer, who does her thang on Friday and Saturday nights. It's... interesting, to say the least. Not to mention entertaining, as there is always some middle-aged, overweight man aching to get up there are gyrate against her, which, lo and behold, she is more than accommodating of. Great for groups and super cheap- one of my fave "off the beaten track" cheap eats.
