How we read reviews →Essendon Turkish grill famed for its adana kebab, mezze dips and charcoal-fired mixed grills
Vibrant, spacious and welcoming, with a glass window onto the charcoal grill, stylish interiors and a lively buzz that can turn noisy. Easygoing, no rush to turn tables.
Open charcoal grill visible from the dining room, a private room for banquets of about 15, cocktails, ayran, and a head chef reviewers praise for gluten-free and dietary needs.
Strong: diners with Turkish heritage and Istanbul experience describe the adana, boregi and hunkar begendi as true to home-style cooking, with the adana praised for texture and fat ratio.
Divisive: praised for flavour and quality, but a recurring theme is small portions and high prices, especially mixed grills and skewer plates costing around $32 to $110.
