Lezzet Modern Turkish Cuisine
Reply to reviewsNEW
Adana, in southern Türkiye, is famous for it’s ”Adana kebab”, a highly spicy minced meat. Istanbul is known for ”midye” or pilaf stuffed mussel mezze. The Aegean region near Izmir, is known for its figs, fish, and peaches. In some restaurants, lemon cologne is available after dining to pour over hands as a refreshing cleanser.
”Lokum”, a gelled sweet often mixed with hazelnuts or pistachios, is cut into cubes and rolled in powder sugar. Most commonly called Turkish delight. Another favourite is the famous Turkish Baklava. A finely layered filo pastry with thick syrup, baklava is a must after a hearty Turkish meal.
Raki, an aniseed liqueur is the national drink of Türkiye. Sour cherry juice, turnip juice, rose tea and “Elma Çay”(Chai), apple peel tea are all popular. Turkish coffee, black Rize chai (tea), and raki are happy reminders of alfresco dinners.
At Lezzet we endeavour to let you indulge in the finer traditional tastes of Türkiye with a twist of western injection without having to make the trip overseas.

Absolutely amazing! such a warm atmosphere and the food was to die for! i will be coming back for sure!! (Mariola - October, 2008)
GREAT FOOD! (August, 2008)
We had booked a week ahead, and would have expected a good table. Sitting in between the toilets and the kitchen run was not ideal. After stepping carefully to our table (the floor was very slippery) and being seated, I was greeted to my left by a gangly looking spider that had made its way down from the rug on the wall. Unfortunatly for the spider, the menu was a great weapon and it was sent to spider heaven. The waiters seemed friendlier than normal, but that could be because of the gorgeous blonde I was with. We entertained ourselves with a pen on the butchers paper which covered the table cloth until the food arrived - which to our delight was absloloutely delicious. I would recommend this venue as a dining experience for those who enjoy good food, good wine and good ambience. (August, 2008)
FOOD WAS GOOD BUT ALTHOUGH WE BOOKED A WEEK IN ADVANCE WE SEATED AT THE LAST TABLE NEAR THE DOOR TO THE TOILET. aLSO OUR WHOLE DINING EXPERIENCE WAS OVER IN 45 MINS, WE FIGURED THEY NEEDED THE TABLE. VALUE FOR MONEY, I DON'T THINK SO. iF I WANT TURKISH FOOD I WILL BE HEADING TO BRUNSWICK. (August, 2008)
Lezzet is one of those restaurants you want to come back to again and again. Classic Turkish food but with a bit of a modern twist. The fun and very friendly staff make the night an event not just a meal. My advice? Ask the waiters for their recommendations on food - might take you out of your comfort zone but you won't regret it! And leave room for dessert!!! (Claire - June, 2008)
AMAZING! What a treat for my taste buds! Words can not describe how much I enjoyed Lezzet! A MUST for anyone looking for something different, inventive and just plain perfect! (I died and went to Lezzet - June, 2008)
Food is absolutely amazing (pizza not so much). Friendly service. Food was very reasonably priced, although $7.50 corkage a bit steep! Obviously a popular spot & one that I would return to happily. (See my reviews (7) - June, 2008) |
