Situated in the center of Melbourne's Ascot Vale, Kömür Turkish BBQ Restaurant is a true taste of Turkey's culinary heritage. 'Kömür,' or 'charcoal' in Turkish, is the restaurant's name and signifies the establishment's commitment to authentic charcoal-grilled cuisine that embodies the true spirit of Turkish barbecue.
Set up in 2019 by Emir, who learned his trade from his father, a celebrated name in Melbourne's Turkish restaurant scene, Kömür has risen to fame fast for its traditional flavors and generous hospitality. Emir's dedication to preserving and sharing his family recipes can be seen in each dish that is served.
The menu features an array of juicy meats, including the legendary Adana kebabs, lamb shish, and chicken wingettes, all grilled to perfection on charcoal. Vegetarian dishes such as falafel bowls and grilled veggies mean everyone is catered to. Add some classic dips like hummus, eggplant, and cacik to complete the meal, followed by a dessert of sweet baklava, served in its own right or with ice cream.
Kömür dedication to authenticity and quality has not been overlooked. In 2023, Mark Wiens' YouTube channel showcased the restaurant, where he raved about it as being among the top dining experiences in Melbourne. The attention catapulted Kömür into the limelight, with foodies flocking from afar.
