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.

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!

I had first bite and was really good!! Vegetables was fresh so every each bite brings good taste of vegetables in my mouth! Like wow ! Dough wasn't dry was moist so was perfect match with the ingredients! Skewers plate? (Sorry forget the name but you can see on the picture) -I had skewers (lamb rack ,chicken mince lamb?) was delicious!!!!! I'm not huge fan of lamb but this lamb omg omg good flavor!!! I can taste of into the meat and the meat was juicy and good seasoning and was perfectly cook!!

Falafel plate-served with two pieces falafel and rice(this rice was bomb I think it's garlic rice?? 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've been going to El Jannah at Granville for years and have also been to Inflames at Castle Hill and I have to say that Sultans Grill is better than them both! The food is essentially the same. The same great tasting flame grilled chook, the same pickles, awesome garlic sauce, etc. But thats where the similarities end. Unlike El Jannah you can actually get a parking spot here. Its directly across the road from the Bull n Bush hotel and there is heaps of parking both on the street out the front and behind the restaurant. Unlike El Jannah you don't have to queue forever and you can also actually get a seat as well. I don't know how long that will all last but for now its awesome. They do a chicken wrap with chips and a can of drink for a little over ten bucks and you can get it eat in or take away. There's a large indoor dining area with a big screen tv on the wall and also quite a few tables and chairs out on the street as well. They have a huge range of other things on the menu but I can't really comment about them as I'm just a massive fan of their chicken wraps and chips with heaps of extra garlic sauce. If you like El Jannah or Inflames then try Sultans Grill. You can probably park, order, eat and be out of there in the same time it'd take you to find parking at one of the other charcoal chicken shops!

Getting back to the restaurant, Moorish Blue is quaint and comfortable but also spacious. Decor is reminiscent of a breezy summer home, and has plenty of indoor/outdoor/private seating across its three levels. The menu spoils you for choice in an innovative North African cuisine, with Spanish and European influences. You'll have a hard time choosing, but go with the BLT (braised lamb tagine) and you're set. Coming piping hot, the generous serving of lamb melts in your mouth, while the bed of fragrant saffron rice provides burst of sweet savouriness with a variety of nuts and berries. Generous portions, guaranteed to fill you up. The barramundi is cooked to perfection with crispy skin (of course). The accompanying beans are full of flavour, while the yoghurt balances and cools the palate. So many textures and flavours on one plate! Succulent barramundi fillet, crispy skin, hearty beans, refreshing yoghurt, crunchy nuts, crispy kale chips. Amazing food by excellent staff in a great location. A must try!

The owner is Tunisian and very friendly. The service was perfect throughout. The food is very fresh and tasy - a few dishes are a bit spicy but I love it ! I went there with 6 friends for a birthday dinner and we order many things o share. The highlight were: - cod croquettes - bricka - sweet potatoe fries - lamb tajin - Beetroot salad with goat cheese - I did not like the eggplant dish - delicious desert platter (rose panna cotta, and other usual sweets) This place really feels outside of time ! I highly recommend it for a special evening with friends - and it is really good value to ! I had been there for Brunch as well, there shashuka is delicious as well as lamb salad, but I think the atmosphere is even nicer in the evening ... A great place to try :-)

Was in Willoughby and in need of coffee and so when I saw this place, I ha high hopes…read more Unfortunately, the slownes of the service, and the lack of focus on the coffee didn't really meet my expectations. That said, while paying I overheard the kitchen saying they were getting slammed, and so it could be that either someone didn't show for work, or some other reason kept this rustic cafe from being at it's best, but either way, I am unlikely to go back. One the positive side, the atmosphere in this cafe is great. While some of the chairs appear a bit rickety, they add to the rustic feel inside. The range of food also looked quite nice (though we stuck to the coffees). So.. as for the coffee, from my seat I was able to watch them being made and my expectations dropped with each minute. For me, seeing a dbl mac sitting on the bench burning as 2 babychinos are made is just sad. When it arrived it was bitter and burnt... surprised I was not. My wife also ordered a Turkish coffee which seemed very little like the thick syrupy deliciousness I have had on previous occasions. All in all, I was disappointed with my experience here, but I am pretty sure that this was a once off. At least... I hope so...

If our breaky experience here is anything to go by, we would return to try their other offerings either @lunch or dinner. As ones who are unfamiliar with turkish armenian food, we approached this with an open mind. Turned out that it was hardly needed. You know it when you stumble on something good. Must try! Vegetarian breaky 4/5 consisted of grilled mushrooms, tossed spinach, onion, poached eggs, on feta pancake with eggplant dip. Each element was cooked without fault, ermmm the feta pancake 'might' hv been prepared beforehand (not sure), the eggplant dip was a nice surprise, smoky creamy, goes well with the pancake. A nice touch which i realized closer to finishing off the plate was that the pancake has been cut into nice little squares. All the better to soak up the egg yolks. Warm yoghurt with poached eggs garlic n mint named aptly dish from raffi's mom kitchen was enjoyable. A simple well executed dish that any loving mom would cook. 3.75/5 Best order their hot fresh mint tea (see pic on my dineline) to accompany your breaky. Give them a go peeps.
