Was Claudia Zimmerling at Achelya a mag?
After reading some concerning previous reviews, I was worried that we might need to stop at McDonald's after dining at this restaurant. However, I am pleased to report that we were pleasantly surprised. Despite not receiving the large portions typically found at a traditional Turkish restaurant, we left feeling satisfied. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly. We are looking forward to returning on a Sat... View all feedback.

What Christ Koepp dislikes about Achelya:
* we bought a Groupon voucher and thought it was quite reasonable.so we wanted to try it out inspite of the bad reviews.....Bad Choice!!!!Please don't bother! The 'Entree was OK but the Meat selection was tasteless with no quality whatsoever! The dessert was 2 tiny 1" piece like Turkish delight!I honestly believe its not worth trying out.Very disappointedno value for money!.

We really enjoyed dining here as it was just the right Mediterranean dishes we were looking for.

Service was horrendous - we had to keep asking after simple items. Food choice was poor, and massively overpriced for what it is. Staying away is a MUST!

Just arrived in Melbourne from Wellington for the weekend and happened to see this restaurant at docklands, we love Turkish food but I have to say this is the worst Turkish meal I have ever had, couldn't finish it as it was so terrible, service was also very disappointing.

My friend and I tried the metre long kebab which is a selection of mixed grilled meats on a long tray which comes with rice and salad. Everything was freshly cooked and tasted so good our Turkish cravings were definitely met and then some. The dips were really good but the bread was divine! Also the baklava was super moist. This place is really good, I’ll be back for sure!

The best Sheesha! For fans of Sheesha, this is a great place to hang out. The ambiance is average and the food is just okay. The prices are high considering the quality and quantity of food, as well as the overall standard of the place. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Overall, it's a great spot to enjoy Sheesha and have drinks with friends.
