The fava bean pate was odd but interesting and the octopus dish was amazing (this dish wasn’t covered by The Fork... View all feedback.

What Mallory Roob dislikes about Tulum:
The place is nice and service friendly. Cam even get a little crowded. The food is good to ok. The sharing plates: chicken was good and mash rooms were good but the red meat although flavoursome the meat didn't feel like great quality. Main dishes: fish and lamb were nice. Desserts; Halva was very good the 2 others so so much. View all feedback.

Great little place to enjoy the a taste sensation with each and every meal. A little more expensive than our usual but the preparation time and ingredients were appreciated and made for wonderful flavours. We would definitely recommend as a restaurant with a difference.

Had a great first experience here. They really brought the flavours of Turkey to Melbourne! A fine dining experience everyone has to experience at least once in their life. Will be back for sure!
