Nestled on Burwood Road, this Turkish restaurant feels like a neighborhood haven where familiar faces mingle with those discovering it for the first time. The atmosphere strikes a delicate balance between cozy comfort and a subtle buzz — a spot where quiet conversations and the clinking of cutlery weave into the fabric of a relaxed afternoon or early evening.

Here, the promise is more than just a meal. It’s about sharing genuine moments around a table laden with rich, aromatic flavors that tell stories of tradition and care. Whether it’s a platter meant for sharing — a mosaic of grilled meats, fresh salads, and dips — or the unassuming pleasure of a Turkish coffee slowly savored, the experience unfolds gently, inviting you to linger. The hum of friendly exchanges from attentive staff and the soft murmur of fellow diners enhances a sense of belonging that feels both intimate and easygoing.

The menu reflects this spirit too, combining fresh, vibrant elements that honor the textures and tastes of Turkish cuisine without overt flashiness. It’s the kind of place where you might find yourself returning again for that perfect balance of spice, warmth, and generosity — a meal that feels like a thoughtful embrace rather than a hurried affair.

Sahara by the Park is a hidden gem! The Middle Eastern food here is absolutely delicious — full of flavour, fresh, and beautifully presented. I tried the mixed grill and hummus, and everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere felt cozy yet vibrant. Portions are generous and prices are reasonable for the quality. Definitely one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants I’ve been to in Sydney. Highly recommended!

My second time here. The quality of the food is awesome. Must try chicken kebabs. We always go for the platter to share. You can't go wrong with this. The service is good. Very busy and good service They respect the ladies a lot.

Had lunch with friends at Sahara by the Park and really enjoyed it. We shared the Sahara Platter for 2, it was flavourful and just right for a light, relaxed meal. The staff were friendly and a cozy setting. Great spot to hang out. We’ll be back for sure.

Pretty good Turkish food. Istanbul char grill was flavourful, had all the smoky notes with chill. They didn't skimp out on the salads or sauce. The apple tea was meh it tasted like apple juice that was warmed up. Otherwise very good place for dinner with family and friends.

It’s a Turkish restaurant that’s very clean and delicious. What I love the most is the salad — the sauce and vegetables are so fresh! I’ll definitely come back again.
