My partner and I stopped by Sumak after being recommended to eat there by a friend, and couldn’t be more impressed! Arriving with a craving for Mediterranean food, and greeted by such warm and friendly service, we had to try a bit of everything: We started with the soups(!) - lentil soup and lamb soup. Both were delicious and hearty without being heavy. My only wish is that the weather was colder (dare I say), as either would be the perfect cosy meal! The mixed grill platter was the star of the show! Every meat was cooked tender over charcoal, full of flavour, and the platter was so generous for the price point - especially compared to similar restaurants in Brisbane. In our experience, it was an ample portion to share between at least two hungry people. The sides and salads are worth it. We got to try several dips, which you can just taste are made with love everyday. My favourite was the carrot dip, which had a subtle sweetness, but the eggplant dip and hummus were also exemplary. The pomegranate seeds added a sweet zing to the cabbage salad and the acidity complimented the smoky flavours of the shish - a perfect combo! The Sumak space itself packs in plenty of undercover seating amongst a beautiful leafy pocket so close to the QUT campus! There’s also plenty of street parking available, but during busy periods there is always underground parking across the street at Woollies (2 hours free). Sumak is a must-try!

One of our absolute favourite places to eat! Every time we visit, we’re met with exceptional customer service that truly makes us feel welcomed and valued. The staff are always friendly, attentive, and go out of their way to ensure a great dining experience. The food is consistently fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. You can really tell they care about quality — every dish we’ve tried has been delicious. It’s rare to find a place that gets it right every time, but this restaurant never disappoints. Whether we’re dropping in for a quick meal or celebrating something special, we always leave satisfied and looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great food, outstanding service, and a genuinely warm atmosphere.

First time at Sumak and honestly the whole experience was a standout. I was sitting there thinking about what to order and overheard one of the staff say she hates seeing the food go out as takeaway because it’s just not as pretty and they’d love people to eat in. You could hear the pride in her voice and I later found out she’s one of the owners. That really said a lot. The food was next level. I had the mixed grill platter and everything on the plate was full of flavour and clearly made fresh with care. The meats were cooked perfectly and the sides actually complemented the whole thing instead of feeling like fillers. What really tied it together was the atmosphere. It felt like being welcomed into someone’s home. Warm, genuine, and relaxed. The dessert, sütlaç, just sealed the deal. It had that homemade feel and brought it all home.

The kebab is good 😋, the place looks very clean, the price is fair and the staff whose name is Helen is very caring and nice. Also, it's a plus that they are very generous with the tissue.

Beautiful atmosphere, great service and good food. The Pide and Adana kebab were very tasty, zucchini filters not so much.
