B.b.q King - Sydney

Gozleme King is one of the stalls in the food court that you always come back to after rotating your lunch options. They currently have a special lunch offer for $14 which gets you a choice of gozleme, baklava and a drink. One of the best gozleme I’ve had, probably due to the fact that it’s made fresh to order and service is reasonably fast. It’s also not overly priced like some other gozleme stalls. <br/ <br/ My choice:<br/ •Gozleme chicken mushroom (the “lot” is my favourite as you get a bit of everything but this is my 2nd favourite) it does come with a lot of cheese so I think you can ask them to opt for less cheese <br/ •Baklava pistachio (I’ve literally gotten this about 3 times, great if you want something sweet after lunch without spending too much as it’s only $3 on its own) warning: it is actually really sweet so that small slice is actually enough to satisfy your sweet tooth <br/ •Drink water (I needed an extra bottle of water)

I quite like Gozleme King as a chain, but the one I had in the CBD outlet just wasn't as magical as the one from Rhodes. This time around I got the vegetarian but asked if I could switch cheese for the potato, which they were happy to do. Unfortunately, these potatoes weren't as marinated or chilli as they should have been (or compared to Rhodes), so it was rather bland. I don't mind too much when it's bland, and I still happily finished it, but I suppose the gozleme didn't have that kick I had previously had.<br/ <br/ Still prefer GK over other gozleme chains and will go back when in the mood for some Turkish street food! It's not super quick as it's made to order, but it IS tasty! Worth trying. Hopefully they get those potatoes spicy again, and the taste will be elevated to a new level!

I was in the area as I needed to visit Myer. This outlet is located in Sydney Central Plaza food court. This outlet has had a few changes as I previously recalled it being a hot potato and crepe place. <br/ <br/ It looked enticing as they were freshly making the gozleme by hand then cooking them to order. It was quite busy and there were a lot of people waiting for their food. They did a fairly good job of getting these orders done. You pay at the register and get a number. I had a BBQ Chicken (feta cheese, bbq chicken and mushroom). I waited for a bit and then realised that numbers after my one were being called. I enquired at the pick up and was nicely told it wouldn't be too much longer. Unfortunately the man cooking it accidentally burnt mine (did see him toss one in the bin a few minutes before I enquired) and did apologise for the wait. The gozleme itself is well made and was nice and crispy. I wish there was more seasoning to the chicken as slightly bland. It might've done with a sauce as well. Overall not bad but could be better.

I had never heard of gozleme until a friend brought some to a gathering I attended, where I had my first taste. It was the Nutella flavor, and even though it was already quite cold, it still tasted amazing. I mentioned how much I liked it, and she told me it gets even better when it’s hot. Later, I decided to visit the stall and ordered a fresh, hot Nutella gozleme. Wow, it’s an absolute must-try! The Nutella melted beautifully with every bite. To be fair, anything with Nutella is usually delicious, but trust me, a gozleme from Gozleme King is probably one of the best ways to enjoy Nutella.

The gozleme appeared nice and thick while cooking, but I found it to have less filling than I anticipated. Nevertheless, it had a pleasant combination of crispy and fluffy texture, and the overall taste was enjoyable. It was definitely an improvement over football gozleme, although not quite on par with the stall at the Potts Point/Kings Cross markets.
