Looking for Mediterranean places?

Kunefe (10.90) had a really nice cheese pull & wasn’t super sweet unlike the usual kunefe drenched with sugar syrup.
Had their Iced Apple Tea (3.00), was sweet so diluting it with ice was just nice

Had their Hummus (10.90) served with 2 pieces of a quarter of a bread. Would have liked if they gave a whole piece instead, but the hummus was good. The Chef’s Plate / Sefin Tavssiyesi (27.80) was a good portion for 2 people

We ordered the signature steak, king prawns and fish of the week (applicable for Burpple 1-1). We enjoyed the prawns the most. Steak is medium rare (cannot change), it was good but a bit unevenly cooked. Some slices were super rare. Fish of the week was salmon - felt a bit disappointed bc the cut was so small and salmon is a pretty common fish protein. But overall, fish was cooked well.

We decided to come here bc we really enjoyed the food at BURN. But we felt that the food here wasn’t as fantastic, and palette wise items were quite similar. The protein portion was pretty tiny and the veggies took up half the plate. Plus pricey for the portion size without Burpple ($30-$35 per dish).

Ok 😶
Good
Great

I'm finally here! I had wanted to try this Mediterranean restaurant since it opened in 2017. This dish was a lot. Two chunks of minced beef and lamb, pita bread, ample fries. The meat was juicy and tasty. I was really disappointed by the pita. It has to be good, but it's overly dense and tasted unpleasant. On the other hand, the cucumber dip, called tzatziki, was one of the best sauces I've encountered! Excellent ambience and service.

Ordered the chicken sultani. You'd expect a chicken patty to be dry, but this well flavoured and very juicy. That's not all because there was extra bite in the patty thanks to the whole mushrooms in it, and enhanced with flavour thanks to the melted cheese in it too.

Rice was fragrant basmati rice.

Used burpple 1 for 1, so the food was even tastier 😉

I'm finally here! I had wanted to try this Mediterranean restaurant since it opened in 2017. This is basically lamb chops. There are three chops, one is obscured, but they're quite small. The meat was tender but little flavour. The side of potato was too salty for some reason. Excellent ambience and service.

I'm finally here! I had wanted to try this Mediterranean restaurant since it opened in 2017. Filo pastry with spinach and feta cheese. Although it's nice, it's not very different from an Indian puff, so $16 for two is quite mad. Excellent ambience and service.

The first trying some Turkish food locally at Sahara Bar & Restaurant. Quite a pleasant first experience especially their appetizers!

We had their Cacik. It’s like served chilled, yoghurt mixed with cucumber, garlic and herb. It’s kind of light and refreshing, and makes you wanting to have more.

Their lamb is well seasoned with herbs and spices and done pretty well. It compliments very well with the spicy and tangy salsa salad. Their Kofte lamb on the other hand is a little on the tougher end. Neither of them has a strong gamy smell.

Their dessert homemade kunefe is interesting too. It’s shredded filo pastry filled with cheese and baked. On itself there’s not much flavor to it, it’s plain and chewy but once you add the cream and syrup, it’s a whole new level.

A good substitute for a trip to turkey 😅.

I'm finally here! I had wanted to try this Mediterranean restaurant since it opened in 2017. This dip is like hummus, but made with white cod roe, bread crumbs, lemon juice and topped with pickled wild Cretan Kritamos. It's yummy, but very fishy, so takes some getting used to. Excellent ambience and service.

I'm finally here! I had wanted to try this Mediterranean restaurant since it opened in 2017. I don't like this bread type but the seasoning, with some visible salt, made it delicious. Excellent ambience and service.

Barramundi was ok with the sweet tomatoes but the fish was not the most fresh. only worth with burpple 1f1!

Ingredients were not exactly fresh, flavours was great. The iberico Pork was rather tough, the sauce and raisins were perfect pairing with the meat!
