The food was tasty, and the meat cooked perfectly. We had the mixed grill. The staff were friendly but the service was a bit slow. Loved the atmosphere and the traditional set-up.

I wasn't even at dessert before I felt the need to write my review, for fear of forgetting to do so. I am glad that I didnt finalise it, because dessert was AMAZING We decided to have the King's Feast Banquet which provided a curated selection of Turkish food. Having never eaten at a Turkish Restaurant I was unsure what to expect, but I can comfortably say that I was not at all disappointed. The food was perfect, the portions were extremely generous and both the service and the atmosphere was excellent. I would highly recommend stopping in next time you find yourself in Brisbane

Fortunately chose to stop here for lunch on our day of sightseeing. Beautiful restaurant, fantastic food, excellent service. Two musicians and a dancer entertained every guest. Good prices. A must do. The cheesecake is also delicious. A very special Mother's Day memory.

I was looking back at the photos I took from this restaurant when we visited last year. My friends and I had dinner here before the musical show. I would say the food is perfect We enjoyed the good service and food here. For all three of us, the food is quite generous and very filling. I love all their spices. The ambience of the place is also very pretty. We didn't make any bookings when we dined in and we were lucky to find seats. Overall, I would love to come back again and order more of their food. I highly recommend this place when you visit Brisbane and before any musical show

Ordered dinner through doordash and it didn't disappoint. Chicken skewers and rice was one dish, the other king pide. Also a side salad. Everything was great, such a high quality of Turkish food at Ahmet. Next I will eat in the restaurant to enjoy the vibe and service. Some have mentioned the service so I will test that out one day.

The food is amazing! Expensive but worth it! Took my parents and partner here and we all loved the food and drinks. Took a star off for service - unfortunately they weren't the best and at times I felt like they were laughing at us...

I had a wonderful night at Ahmet’s Turkish Restaurant! From the Iskender Kebab to the grilled plates, Turkish tea, and that fresh hot bread they make right there in the restaurant; everything was super delicious! The paintings on the wall really took me straight to Turkey, I loved that touch. Honestly, everything was just perfect and I really enjoyed my time there. And since there aren’t that many Turkish restaurants in Brisbane, I can easily say this is one of the best. (I was a guest, so no idea about the prices )

It was a real adventure to order with a real person (and not with our phone) and to pay in cash as the restaurant was busy. We ordered four items from the menu. The bread arrived quickly and was warm, which gave us hope. Unfortunately, the rest of the dishes came out 35 minutes later, and two out of three were served cold. We didn’t ask for them to be reheated as we were already very hungry, but it was such a disappointment. The food overall was good, despite being cold, and the gozleme was great. We had really been looking forward to trying this restaurant, but sadly, this experience means we won’t be returning.
