We went to Sumak with a group of friends and it was an absolutely incredible experience. The staff were so warm and friendly, some of the kindest people I’ve ever encountered. They made me feel like I was sitting in someone’s mums home. The menu had so many options to choose from I was so full and happy leaving. Would highly recommend Sumak to anyone looking for amazing food and a welcoming atmosphere

Sumak Mediterranean Cuisine & Kebabs - Truly authentic Turkish flavours, with attention to detail. Sumak Mediterranean Cuisine & Kebabs is an absolute gem in the heart of Kelvin Grove. This family-owned business has been recently revitalized, and it shows in every aspect—from the warm, attentive service to the exceptional quality of the food. Nestled next to beautiful, established fig trees, the outdoor undercover seating creates a tranquil and inviting atmosphere, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a meal in any weather. The food is nothing short of outstanding—authentic, generous, and packed with rich Mediterranean flavors. Unlike many other Mediterranean restaurants that overcharge for small portions, Sumak delivers high-quality dishes with hearty servings at an incredibly affordable price. We had the Mixed Grill, which was an absolute feast: Adana, chicken shish, lamb shish, and smoky, spice-marinated chicken wings that were grilled to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and infused with that irresistible charred aroma. The house-made dips and salads were fresh and bursting with flavor, showcasing the team’s commitment to authenticity and detail. There’s even delicious Mediterranean desert options to end with if you have a sweet tooth and of course the tea is on point. I’m honestly blown away by the level of care and craftsmanship that goes into every dish here. Sumak delivers a true taste of Turkey without the inflated price tag, proving that incredible Mediterranean food doesn’t have to come at a premium. Huge thanks to the Sumak team for your dedication—you’ve created something truly special. We’ll definitely be back for more!

Finally, I found a great Turkish restaurant! We had the Adana shish with rice, salad, bread and a dip. It was delicious and the staff were so friendly and attentive. I will be back, especially when Turkish breakfast is on the menu. ;-)

What an amazing night this was...! We have been looking for a true, authentic Turkish experience for years now, and this is IT! The food was unbelievably delicious, beautifully presented, and served by the loveliest people. The meat was so juicy, tender, and packed with flavour. The dips were out of this world! The pide and gozleme made me feel like I was back in Antalya, in a 5 star hotel, having the time of my life! If I could give 6 stars, I would! Thank you for an amazing dining experience, and we can't wait to come back! 😍

Not your average kebab shop!! All their meat is proper quality pieces of lamb or chicken breast - not the standard doner meat mince you’d find at other establishments. Mixed grill was also excellent, with pieces of lamb, chicken shish and adana. Tender and juicy with a beautiful smokey char from the charcoal grill. Food was well priced and serving sizes were generous, especially given the quality of the ingredients served. Also a great option for uni students with 15% student discount available! Business is family owned and operated so you can feel good knowing you’re supporting small business. Every bite takes me back to Istanbul…can’t wait to go back!
