How we read reviews →Carlton's long-standing Turkish kitchen famous for real Turkish bread kebabs and pistachio baklava.
Casual and unpretentious on Lygon Street with a warm café feel. F1 replays on TV, friendly counter staff and a broad multi-cultural crowd. Recently renovated with a brighter, more inviting interior.
All kebabs served in proper Turkish bread (not flatbread wrap). a distinguishing feature highlighted by long-term regulars; gluten-free kebab option available; Halal certified; Pay It Forward system; operating on Lygon St for over 25 years (formerly Kebab Factory).
Traditional Turkish recipes and techniques with a long operating history; the signature Turkish bread over wraps reflects a genuine commitment to technique. Some Turkish-born visitors note the experience is adapted for the local market.
Generally good value with generous portions on the platters; some reviewers find the Lygon St location commands a slight premium on simpler items like gozleme and borek relative to quality.
