I usually go to this place and I am very much satisfied with them. They never fail to give their best service. The food taste also remains the same every time. It is a decent restaurant with amazing staff, reasonable rates and good food. Try out this restaurant and experience the best.

Went here for a 30th last year. I'm not a big Turkish eater but it was good. Great entertainment. Drinks were well priced. Located in central south Brisbane. Close walk to Southbank

I'm not huge on Turkish food but the chicken skewers here and sides were delicious. This is a really good place for a group of friends to hang out and share platters. Highly recommended. The belly dancers were great entertainment too!

I love this restaurant and I love the food. Never order the share meals unless you are a big eater, because they give you way way too much food.

Definitely recommend this restaurant, but it is not really a cheap meal option.

If you enjoy your Turkish food you will love this place! The food is great! It's such a lovely place! Makes you feel at home!! Great prices too!! Love it

Approximate cost: $15

I really like going to Ahmets. The food is reasonably priced, the decor sets the tone for the evening and the service is good. I've been here a few times after work on various occassions. The area bordering on to southbank is always nice as you can people watch whilst you eat.

I'd never tried Turkish food so was a bit hesitant about going to this restaurant, but I needn't have worried. The food was delicious. The service was fast too, which was good as we were going to a show after. Really enjoyable experience.

Love the food, the atmosphere, everything! Food is delicious and lots of variety, great night out for a group of friends. They have entertainment in the way of belly dancers which is entertaining as they pick guests to come and dance with them. Overall would recommend this place to anyone.

Absolutely delicious! The food here is so tasty and has great flavour. I went with a couple of others on a Thursday night. The restaurant was a little busy, there were plenty of staff on however it was hard to grab their attention.

Apart from struggling to get the waitresses attention, the service is great and very friendly. We had a wait of about 45mins for food but was well worth it.

The have live music Thurs to Sun and belly dancers on Friday and Sat (I think)

Would definitely visit again and recommend to anyone wanting to try turkish food.

Approximate cost: $24

This is a great restaurant to go to if you're going with friends, because you're going to want to try everything! Quality of the food is amazing, everything is fresh and delicious. Service is so-so, it's a bit hit and miss but I really do put that down to this being a busy restaurant which is always popular with groups. So sometimes it takes awhile to get your order taken and food doesn't always come out at the same time. This is not fine dining, this is a tasty Turkish restaurant.

Value is ok - it depends on what you order but portion sizes are huge so that makes it worth while, especially if you share dishes with the table. I could honestly fill up on just the entrees here, the bread/dips are amazing and the soups are just more-ish. Don't be tempted to overindulge though, because the mains are also worth the wait!

Approximate cost: $18

I have been here several times as I have a friend who is muslim and only eats halal food. The place have a very nice ambience and unique furnishings. Overall flavour of the food are good and consistent, never too salty or overpowering. Food is served quite promptly and they never mixed up the orders even though we had a large group at the table several times.

Approximate cost: $25-30

I love the theme and decor of this restaurant. I went once with some girlfriends and our 3 young children (all in prams). There wasn't really enough room for our prams even in the outside area but they did their best to accommodate us. The entrees were very nice, the Hommus was delicious! Even my daughter loved it. The bread was also fantastic! We had to get a second basket! The main was not that great however. I ordered the chicken burger and when it arrived the chicken was quite cold. It tasted ok but could have been better.

The best food I've ever tasted, simply delicious authentic Turkish. A bit pricey but worth the cost as the quality is superb. Customer service is spectacular.

Approximate cost: $25

We have dined here on three separate occasions and each time the service and food have been exceptional. With my dietary restrictions I'm very particular with my food. The waitress couldn't have been more helpful and attentive. She told me what I could and couldn't eat on the menu and then was able to organise with the kitchen so I was able to change some of the ingredients so that I have what I wanted.
Although they were extremely busy our water was constantly refreshed and drinks renewed.
I had the lamb cutlets with a green salad which was delicious and cooked well.
I even told the manager on the way out how good his staff had been and I don't usually do that.
Its now a favourite place to eat when we go up to the Southbank .

Approximate cost: $25-$27

I have gone here a number of times over the years, most recently in the past week, and generally found it really high in quality. I definitely recommend it to check out if you are in the Southbank area.
The staff are generally quite nice and efficient, even when they are busy.
The food I have never had a problem with - they have quite a varied menu including starters, mains etc. I have been there on occasion to just have dips with friends before moving on, and also to have an actual meal.
One of the greatest positives that I have experienced is that they don't try to push you out. Even when we have been well and truly finished our meal, and still sitting at the table for 30+ minutes, the staff haven't forced more food on us or suggested me should leave, which is always really nice when you are having a great night out.
That said - I do this it is fair they let you sit when you are finished, cause in all honest, you are likely to sit there for quite a while to begin with. Whilst everyone is nice and all, it is no fast food by any stretch of the imagination. The staff take orders pretty quickly, but the wait for the food can be a bit ridiculous. Once you know that it is fine, but the first time I went we had play tickets and had to basically run out the door and the whole way to the theatre after our meal because they took so long.
Overall though, definitely a lovely restaurant with a great experience with performances on a couple of nights.

great service here, food smells and tastes soooo good. The turkish bread is freshly made and soo scrummy. They also have a belly dancer perform on friday and saturday nights!

Approximate cost: $19.00

Not very happy with Ahmets - I'll preface this by saying it was incredibly busy and while our service was by no means lacking or rude, we did experience a significant wait for food. My main issue here is the food, which in my opinion is mediocre and over priced. When you have mains that are $23+ there is a degree of quality expected from a restaurant and I did not find this here.

I had a Turkish meal that was essentially a chicken breast covered in lumpy and stodgy mushroom sauce with two dollops of dip. The other meals (a lamb casserole and lamb shish) were similarly underwhelming. Something you could have made at home for a fraction of the cost.

If you find yourself on Southbank, I would advise avoiding Ahmets. I know for certain you can find better food for a MUCH better price elsewhere. Very disappointing, will not be returning.

Approximate cost: $25

I went here last year as part of a girls dinner and it was great. The service and atmosphere is really good and they had a live show with belly dancers that really got the audience involved. The food was really good and they had some very authentic dishes. I wouldn't mind going back here for another group dinner!

I've been to this Turkish restaurant a few times. It is often quite busy, but staff have always been friendly and helpful. The food is very tasty- the banquets/set meals are great. Meals are a bit expensive for this to be somewhere I'd eat regularly.

Beautiful restaurant with beautiful food and friendly staff. It is not the cheapest meal but worth the money. They bbq's are amazing. Try set menu for 2, it is a bit too much but you will love every bit of all those food. They have belly dancer sometimes too for bit of fun although she seems like she doesn't know what she's doing.

Approximate cost: $35
