The Sultan’s Table, Enmore

The destination:
We headed to Enmore’s The Sultan’s Table for Turkish delights (of the savoury kind) on a whim after nearby Faheem’s Fast Food was found to be closed. Our cravings for something spicy and subcontinental were overcome once we saw the delicious spread inside The Sultan’s Table, a Turkish kebab shop and eat-in restaurant serving up pides, kebabs, dips, charcoal grilled meats and lots of vegetarian treats (vine leaves, stuffed capsicums and more).

The vibe: 
The Sultan’s Table initially looks like just another Sydney kebab shop (with a slightly more enticing array of food on display), but out the back is a simple covered terrace to sit and the food (and charming service) is anything but ordinary.

The eats:
First up, we had a plate of dips (hummous, baba ganoush and beetroot) and Turkish bread fresh from the oven – a significant serving size for a ‘small’ which could have been lunch in itself. Each of the dips were delicious but the beetroot was our pick. The zucchini fritters we tried were a little dry and uninspiring, but the charcoal grilled chicken shish kebab more than compensated. It actually had a similar texture and taste to chicken cooked in the tandoor, minus the spices.

The verdict:
Ultra friendly staff, amazingly fresh bread and moreish dips. It’s not a visually inspiring restaurant, but like many good places to eat it’s all about the food.
