Looking for Middle Eastern places?

First time eating at a proper Turkish restaurant so not sure if the taste of the food is considered authentic. For those intending to use Burpple, take note that you shouldn't make a reservation on google - had a strange experience of being made to call on the spot to cancel the reservation before we were allowed to redeem the deal. Food was alright, nothing to shout about personally. Portion was ok, but for the quality/quantity probably wouldn't be worth it without the 1 for 1. Best dish of the day was ghe kunefe - be warned that it takes quite long to prepare (more like 20mins instead of the 10mins mentioned). Did expect it to be bigger for the price when I first saw it, but as it is quite cheesey on the inside, the portion is enough as it can get quite jelak even when sharing. Total bill was around $90.

A bustling spot to enjoy some authentic Middle Eastern cuisine!

Kunafe is freshly baked shredded filo pastry with butter and cheese, served hot with sugar syrup and whipped cream - $13.90

Meats were tender, juicy and flavourful. Pilaf rice complemented well the meats. Makes for a hearty meal

i think was some 2pax meat sharing platter? menu be lyin cos this is clearly for more than 2pax. it was 🤌🏼delicious🤌🏼 especially if you enjoy lamb/mutton! anyway overall this place was not bad not extremely amazing but the vibes and ambience was good!

First impression was definitely not what I had expected. It was way bigger, and the coconut cake was dense and not the usual moist kind of cake. Overall not bad but can be quite jelak after a few bites. Wished they had given a bigger scoop of the ice-cream to provide as the additional cream and sweetness.

The Hot Mezzeh Platter was an assortment of savory "snacks" which were good as appetizers and for sharing. As I liked falafel, the ones at Kazbar were crispy, light and done right.

Moving on to the star of the evening was definitely the Mixed Grill Platter that without a doubt was filled with the best kebabs I've had so far. The platter was great for sharing and tasting of a variety as it came with 6 different meat styles comprising of chicken and lamb. Each meat skewer was made up of big, chunky, tasty pieces with delicious juices oozing out. What stood out for me were the lamb chops. They were marinated and grilled to succulent perfection with a smoky flavour. No condiments or sauce required. Just pure meaty goodness.😋👍

My favourite part of any mezze is always the dips & bread. This humble looking platter was nothing short of an amazing opening to the world of flavours and textures that middle eastern dishes have to offer. To name a few - the Hummus was thick, creamy, smooth and  and tasted as good as it looked. If you like eggplant, there's the classic Babaghanoush which was chargrilled mixed with tomato, capsicum, onion and garlic; and Moutabel which had smoky flavours of the nutty tahini, garlic and lemon. And not forgetting the Tabouleh to refresh the palate that was made with tonnes of parsley, lemon juice, tomatoes and onions. Accompanying was a basket of lebanese bread to scoop and enjoy these delicious dips. A feast for the eyes and definitely the taste buds and stomach. 😍😋

3.75⭐ WB likes the Turkish food here so we are back again since Marina Square App is offering $30 off for minimum spending $60. Was surprised to see that the restaurant is full even on a weekday. WB ordered the lamb chop which I ate previously as he prefers the white rice and he likes the lamb chop. I ordered the chicken kebab which is slightly salty. I told WB we can eat Turkish food occasionally as it's too heavy for me.

Lamb pulls off the bone very easily. Chicken is amazing. Hummus is good. Does not make you feel bloated. Very satisfying meal.
