Sehzade Kebab And Bakehouse — Restaurant in Melbourne

You might disagree with me but firstly way too much oil and bad tasting oil too, I might feel this way as I don't cook with cheap oils at home. The menemen was too soaked in oil for me, seemed swimming in it and cooked too long in the tomatoes. The kavurma had too much oil as well so was very unnecessary and the price it is it seemed like it would be bigger or at the least have had better meat used so it wouldn't be so hard to eat. Now for the breakfast plate, gozleme wasn't the best but overall the sides were all freshly plated and tasted good enough e.g the Feta olives kaymak. Now for the best part, I am from Adana so I've eaten a lot of lahmacun and Adana kebab and all I can say is wow! Well done awesome tender soft just perfect in all aspects, I'm grateful that was my main meal. I would definitely come back for the lahmacun and Adana. Just a recommendation of course but just try using butter to cook your menemen and kavurma, it's much healthier and will make it taste better not worse. Elinize sağlık, hayırlı işler. *also just a note, not everyone that comes there is from the northern suburbs, some of us travel out to come eat in the northern suburbs once every few months so please just relax and not argue with your customers, even they are your friends or regulars or whatever is happening. There is many people there, no need to ruin other people's experience. Who cares who is right or wrong, that customer was persistent in getting a refund because he misunderstood the waiting times, just let it go. Allah sabır versin inşallah next time someone is testing...

I really, really, REALLY hate giving negative reviews... I know how hard hospitality businesses have had it since COVID, but I wouldn't be honest to myself if I mislead people.

Firstly the good... Service was friendly, helpful and courteous. The venue was clean and food came out fairly quickly.

But... The food was beyond average 😞

I remember watching an episode of Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares where he criticised the number of items on the menu. This is what I thought of first with the sheer number of options ranging from traditional Turkish cuisine that mum makes, through to kebabs and pides. You can't make great food across a great number of items...

The lamb doner kebab was dense, oily and pungent... The salad had no dressing... The bread was not fresh and just re-heated... The spicy dip had an odd smell and flavour... The kids nuggets were bland... The chicken wings were OK, but nothing special... The best part was the Ayran which was bottled from the fridge 😞

A very small annoyance was where we were seated, had a chair for take away customers to wait. Problem was it was less than a metre from our table and my family (along with the customer), just felt weird looking at each other...

Perhaps I got the wrong menu items and the reviews seem to be contrary to my experience. Give it a try to help small business, but we...
