A neighbourhood corner spot in Brunswick East serving wood fired pide, sharing style dishes and wines.

Our head chef Cagri Ergin, born and raised Istanbul native with a passion for cooking and a love for the flavours of the Mediterranean and Anatolian regions. A degree in Gastronomy and Culinary Arts, Cagri has honed his skills in the kitchen and gained a deep understanding of the diverse cuisines that define their home region.

Our small and ever changing wine list is influenced by the season. Reds take the spotlight when it's chilly, while whites shine in the summertime. Sourced from all different parts of the world.

If you like wood fired food, great wine and candle lit spaces, book a table with us.

What makes dining with us different? You're in control of your dining menu from start to finish. For example, parties of two, craft their perfect meal with: 2 Cold Mezze - From creamy labneh to our signature dips 2 Hot Mezze - Fresh from the kitchen, bursting with flavour 1 Larger Plate - The heartbeat of your meal 1 Side - The perfect companion 1 Dessert - Because every adventure needs a sweet ending Unlike standard prix fixe menus, we adapt everything to perfectly fit your group's size. Whether you're a party of two or twenty, everyone gets the right amount to share and savour. The only catch? Everyone at the table joins in. This is about sharing dishes family-style, passing plates, and discovering new favorites together. It's dining the way families have for generations—social, interactive, and fun. No predetermined combinations. No unwanted dishes. Just the feast you actually want to eat.

It wasn’t my first time trying Mediterranean food but it is my first time found a really nice restaurant with amazing customer service and amazing food. My favourite was the cauliflower, I’ve never really like cauliflower that much but Yakamoz creates a really amazing Cauliflower dish 🫶🏼. I will definitely recommend it to everyone and definitely will come back for another dish ❤️❤️

I absolutely loved my experience here! The food is incredibly fresh, flavourful, and downright delicious. This is my second time back, and I’ll definitely be coming again. Every dish is packed with fresh ingredients that create mouthwatering flavours. Plus, you’ll leave feeling completely satisfied. The service was excellent. The staff were attentive, polite, and happy to accommodate any request. I highly recommend trying the set menu—it’s full of variety, you can pick from options and gives you the chance to sample a range of amazing dishes. A solid 10/10!
