Wow, I can't believe I hadn't been here before, the mixed kebab was PERFECT. Extremely legit Turkish place with high-quality lamb, definitely getting the shish and meatballs next time. The fresh tabouleh was the best I've had in Victoria. This was the best kebab I've had in the inner North and far superior to the late-night places on Brunswick Street.

This place used to be decent but quality has clearly fallen...

We then ordered Adana Kebap, Chicken Skewers, ayran and baklava. Being Turkish, I must admit I was impressed by the taste, amount of meat, quality of mezzes, bread and baklava. Overall, food was very tasty and filling. Very good quality/price ratio. I would highly...
