Great seating capacity inside and out. Quite busy at all times with all foods made freshly. We had mixed platter and mince pide. Pide had thin base and quite tasty. Platter is huge severe, states 2 but 3 can eat, depends how hungry you are. Great service and friendly staff. They look after any specific dietary requirements and accommodate quites easily. Recommended this place.

Fantastic dining experience. Food and staff are all amazing. This is the first time a chef has ever come out of the kitchen to review my choices after learning I have coeliac disease. Seperate fryer, very knowledgeable and aware of cross contamination issues. Will definitely be returning.

We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. The chicken pide was cooked to perfection, crispy & thin. The salad and stuffed vine leaves were fresh. The staff were friendly and helpful and happy to explain the dishes. Thank you for a delicious lunch.

I had my dinner at this beautiful restaurant. It was my best experience in having Turkish food. I have tried many Turkish restaurants in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, but the quality of the food and service is unbelievable. I found out recently the restaurant is under new management. Abdul (manager and master chef) is a professional and friendly manager who knows his job perfectly. All the stuff on the floor under his management are doing fantastic work Wishing all the best to Abdul and his team. Definitely, I will come back and strongly recommend

Hands down, my favourite dine in/takeaway restaurant in Port Macquarie. Amazing Turkish food experience. Mixed BBQ Platter is one my favourites on the menu. The pides taste super fresh and cheesy. Have been a regular customer since this place opened, they have consistently maintained high standard of service and excellent quality of food. Definitely recommend! 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was an excellent meal and well priced. The waitress was EXCEPTIONAL, I think her name was Georgia. Definitely recommend this place for a good feed and delightful service. There were 5 of us and we had the mixed grill plate and mixed kebab. That was enough for us all. Thank you we will come again.
