Turkish Delight - BELCONNEN

Turkish delight has been part of the Belconnen establishment for 40 years. Continues to provide excellent dine in or take away food. Quality with quantity; wonderful flavours. And excellent value for money. Support your local business!

Went with friends for a catch up evening meal. Booked a table and upon arrival the designated table was right on top of a huge reserved table. Would have been noisy so we asked to relocate. They accommodated our request but the noise from the large table was still very off putting. Lots of yelling etc. annoying when all you want is to have a quite chat with friends over dinner. The service we received was also very poor. The waiter was hopeless. He didn't come to check if we needed drinks and he didn't clear any used plates off the table. There was a woman behind the counter all she did all night was talk on the phone. Disappointing as this used to be a good restaurant. None of us will return in a hurry. There are better Turkish options close by.

We've been going to this restaurant since it opened many moons ago; sometimes the quality changes a little but generally a banquet is a great night out. Just sit back and let it happen. It seems to be at its best when crowded and busy. Some nights belly dancing is on the menu, a bit of an acquired taste but definitely great fun. Cheap and cheerful.

I really enjoyed visiting this venue, friend and I split a mixed grill share plate. Everything was absolutely delicious, and the staff were really polite and accommodating to our dietary issues.

The restaurant claims to be the first Turkish restaurant in Canberra. Maybe true, but definitely not the best. This is 4th Turkish restaurant we tried in Canberra and it stood at a distinct 4th position in terms of food quality. The restaurant space and decoration was somewhat congested and oldish. The food was definitely overpriced, and the significant price hike for dine-in compared to take away (for same food) did not justify the subpar in-house Turkish dance.
