About Nicosia Turkish Restaurant

Malvern locals turn to this Glenferrie Road spot for hearty Turkish banquets and chargrilled meats stacked alongside warm pita and dips. The dining room runs with easy hospitality—tables routinely fill with groups passing plates of smoky kebabs, charred cutlets, and crisp borek. Out back, a sheltered patio stays heated straight through Melbourne winter. You can sit down for multi-course Cypriot feasts with friends, drop in late for quick plates, or grab packaged sweets and savory pastries from the front counter on your way out.

  • Feast-Sized Banquets: Generous group spreads pile tables with charred meats, fresh salads, dips, and warm bread, leaving plenty to take home.
  • Heated Rear Patio: Enclosed outdoor seating tucked behind the main dining space keeps diners warm even on chilly nights.
  • Front Storefront Deli: The front counter offers homemade borek, baklava, and Turkish delight for takeout alongside packaged goods.

  • Heated Year-Round Outdoor Dining

    An outdoor patio behind the dining area stays warm and comfortable even through cold Melbourne winters.

    We sat outside behind the main dining area and even though it's winter in Melbourne I didn't feel cold once, it's heated well for an outdoor area.
