About Adanali

Adanali serves up no-nonsense charcoal-grilled meats along Sydney Road, anchored by spiced Adana skewers and juicy doner. Run by chef-owner Turan, the kitchen turns out generous spreads that recall home cooking in Turkey—plates piled with charred lamb shish, warm bread, fresh salads, and dips. It operates as BYO only, with a dedicated prayer room tucked in the back. Regulars often split the mixed grill banquet, soaking up grilled tomato juices with warm pide.

  • Charcoal-Grilled Kebabs: Turan grills skewers of spiced minced meat and cuts doner fresh over charcoal, served with warm pide and dips.
  • Sharing-Style Feasts: Platters arrive loaded with lamb shish, adana, bread, and charred tomatoes—generous enough to easily feed a group.
  • BYO & Prayer Space: Guests can bring their own drinks, and a quiet prayer area is available at the back of the dining room.

    The full mixed grill platter is our goto and is better than other places in terms of the freshness and the care taken in preparing it.
