Little Istanbul — Restaurant in District of Tuggeranong

I think you need to look up what 'Pasha' actually means. 30 bucks for what you brought is a scam. When i ordered it i thought it was something like a mix grill but it was just 2 pieces of chicken breast with steam cooked veggies and rice without any salt. Being a turk, never in our history or cuisine we steam cook veggies. Its always cooked on the grill. Pasha table has always been rich and diverse. Your meat is sauced using foreign herbs and taste that doesn't belong to turks. It was very similar to kebabs that arabs make which is significantly different to turks. I strongly suggest people to visit Turkey and Istanbul to see the major difference from hospitality to delicious taste. What they present in Little Istanbul is misleading and it has nothing to do with turks or turkish history.

You guys forced us to sit outside because you're mopping inside in the middle of the day and you haven't wiped the tables while 4 of your staff is just mucking around. We had so many flies flying around us and we could barely sit there and eat. Hands down one of the worst experience's in a so called...

We decided to celebrate our anniversary at Little Istanbul, hoping for an authentic Turkish culinary experience. However, having had Turkish food before, I can confidently say that this restaurant falls short on multiple fronts.

To begin with, the food was unauthentic and severely lacking in flavour. We ordered the Istanbul Special and the Pasha Kebab from their menu, both of which were nothing short of disappointing. The chicken tasted overwhelmingly of char and burn, with no subtlety or seasoning to balance it out. Additionally, the rice was not only flavourless but also dry, making for an overall unpleasant dining experience. The meal was so lackluster that I found myself wishing I had brought my own aioli and chili sauces just to add some much-needed flavour. If you're familiar with genuine Turkish cuisine, you won't settle for what Little Istanbul offers. The food was bland, dry, and chewy—far from the rich, flavourful dishes we were expecting. Sadly, this meal did not live up to the special occasion we were celebrating. Neither recommending nor coming back to this place...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful Turkish restaurant, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The dishes were some of the best Turkish food I've ever had — each bite was full of authentic flavors that truly transported me to Turkey. The staff was outstanding — friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.

What really stood out to me was how thoughtful they were. After we paid our bill, we ordered a few pieces of baklava, and to our surprise, they brought it out for us on the house! It was a lovely gesture that added a personal touch to the meal.

The price was incredibly reasonable, especially considering the high-quality food and service. The staff was quick to deliver our meals, ensuring that everything arrived fresh and piping hot. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for an authentic Turkish dining experience — I’ll...
