We loved everything about it. Booked last minute for a birthday dinner by recommendation of a colleague of mine The food, the place and the staff was great. The building has a charm, it really feels like you are not dinning in just any restaurant in Canberra or for that matter in Australia but somewhere special. The food is so... More

We had a family dinner here prior to going to a show. Wait staff were made aware of our time constraint and we were served promptly and courteously. Menu provided plenty of variety. The food was a high standard and well presented. Everyone enjoyed their meal and we left adequately fed. I do like the building and atmosphere however, I... More

I have always enjoyed this restaurant, from it's early days in Manuka. My latest visit was disappointing. The restaurant setting lacked it's usual energy, and the building needs work. I understand an upgrade or location move may be underway soon. The food maintained its standards, but relied on the old favorites. No specials, no excitement. The service, while good, was... More

This was a return trip - again, I had to choose for a group of interstate visitors. Again, my choice was applauded. The menu is interesting; the food is excellent; the service is helpful and professional. I love the setting. In fact, there's nothing I don't like - but the food above all is worth it. Whether Middle Eastern food... More

What more can I say that the previous reviewer, "Thecrankytraveller" has already said. This is a wonderful restaurant with a lovely classy feel but not ostentatious. Although we dined there on a cold night the view into the garden will certainly bring us back again in the summer months. Inside the seating is comfortable with plenty of room between tables....

I agree with a previous reviewer, this is the best Turkish food you will ever have. i dined with two colleagues, one of whom dined with me two week sago at Hellenic. He rated this meal as far and above more appealing than Hellenic, that is saying something!! Staff were attentive and knowledgeable. Whilst the menu is not as long... More

The best Turkish food you will ever have, served in the best style. The only drawback is that you might trip over a Federal politician on his/her expense account.
