A 'Gozleme' is a traditional Turkish flat bread and can be somewhat equated to the Indian version of 'Chapathi' as it looks and is also made up in a similar fashion. This turkish bread is stuffed with ingredients in the center to meat it up and this fluffy bread ends up being pretty tasty holding the fillings inside.
Gozleme Turkish house is a part of the La Petite food court in the Birkenhead shopping center at Drummoyne, Sydney. It's quite a sight witnessing the making of the Gozleme live from the inception of squeezing the flour, dashing it in the pan, ornating the bread with veggies and cutting it across piece by piece and serving on the plates.
We were pretty hungry and when we barged in for a late lunch, we ordered all there was for vegetarian in the savoury section by saying one each of the cheese&tomato, veggie and potato gozleme. The combination of cheese and tomato was nailed perfectly and it was a delight crunching this one with the cheese oozing over. The latter two were pretty similar but for the strong essence of potato in the third one. Both had a doze of spinach and cheese and we relished eating them.
Each of the Gozleme's cost us 8$ and I would say it was worth it as the size was magnanimous and taste scrumptious. We also told for each of the sweets - baklava, semolina cake and the turkish delight and all of them were nice too giving a sweet touch to complement the savoury side of things. The sweets costed 2$ each but we got a deal of 5$ for the 3 of em.
Overall, a very pleasing meal. It was lovely having Turkish cuisine in the heart of Sydney. Personally, it was nice experiencing something new such as Gozleme and more so enjoying the same. Do give this place a shot when you get the chance.
