Well we used to enjoy a good meal here but recently we didn't even get served. Understandably, it was a busy night - we saw a waitress attending to another group, we sat nearby and waited. And waited. And waited. And waited............

During this time we were looked at by many staff and we made eye contact on numerous occasions but not long enough to flag them to us. Even with 5 available waiters all standing no more than 3 metres from us just talking between themselves - still no service. They they looked more like bouncers than wait staff and more interested in themselves than us. We were even passed several times by staff as they waited on other tables directly behind us.

20 minutes was much too long for no service or even a simple hello so we left.
Will we be back? who knows.

This is our favorite Turkish restaurant in Canberra. The menu is traditional in parts and really different in others. They do fantastic squid and are one of the few restaurants stocking my favorite pomegranate juice. The service is always friendly and when waiting for take-away, the staff often have a chat with you. Can't go past the baklava of course!
