Pide House - Canberra

We celebrated a family anniversary here with a table of 10. We sat outside and the the service was great. I hadn't eaten here for several years so was interested to try again. The menu is varied with something for everyone and also has authentic turkish dishes. I was pleasantly surprised at the service and presentation of the food. It was just delicious. Everything was tasty and well prepared with lovely fresh flavours. We had the usual dips to share and they were fresh and served with warm turkish bread. The mains were well cooked and again delicious. I can highly recommend the lamb rack. We ended with a platter of desserts that was the perfect finish to a great dining experience. We will return and they are expert at serving large tables with grace and manners.

We go to this restaurant for special occasions and have never been disappointed . Wonderful food, friendly service and always happy to accomodate our food intolerances.

We went here for lunch as we hadn't been here for quite a while. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere & well appointed, although not up market (wasn't expecting it anyway), nice and comfortable.We shared the 4 dips & bread for entrée. They were flavoursome & in nice portions. The Turkish bread was also very good. The presentation nice.For mains we had the lamb sis kebab's & lamb cutlets. The flavour was great, cooked medium which was good and really hit the spot. A nice serve of vegies and rice to accompany the meat.The drinks menu is good for this type of establishment.We found the service to be of a good standard, friendly and efficient. A nice touch was a complimentary glass of for my wife, complimentary Baklava & Turkish delight.All in all a great lunch experience that we thoroughly enjoyed.The bonus, in my opinion, it was great value for money. Will definitely not leave it as long to return.

Late Sunday evening I met my husband at 8.30pm when he finished a 10hour working shift. We wanted to have dinner and after looking at the restaurants/cafes closing for the night I chose the Turkish Pide House as there were still diners seated at tables and I looooove Turkish Food. Although the chef was preparing to finish for the evening we were told we could dine. The waitresses did not seem to happy about our arrival but I put their unwelcoming vibe aside as we needed to dine prior to driving 60km home. We chose the small banquet for 2 comprising fresh garlic bread and a platter that included zucchini puffs, delicious tender chicken shish-kebab rice, and salad. Of course the meal also included 4 yummy dips and more Pide bread. While waiting for the meal to be served I commented that I loved the décor and I was amazed that on the many occasions I have travelled to Woden to meet my husband that he had never suggested the Turkish Pide House. He then "fessed" ups and said "oh I've eaten here many times and enjoyed many staff farewell lunches here and the décor was updated last year" Hmm! was this his dining secret? Well people I'm sharing this experience with you as I think if you are a lover of middle eastern food you will love the food at Woden Turkish Pide House. Even though it was late the food was fresh, flavoursome and delicious and the owner even offered us coffee at the conclusion of the meal, but we did not want to impose on the staff and wear out our welcome. During a friendly conversation with him he revealed he was the original owner of the Pide House at Jamison so many years ago. We left at 9.45pm and I thank the Turkish Pide House for their hospitality. However the waitresses could do with a lesson from the owner and be friendlier whilst serving diners and a smile would not hurt. I was soo impressed with the food that I want to return on Easter Saturday (if the Pide House will be open) with a relative who will be visiting us.

Our first here was a very good experience. they have a lunch special menu and a very good a la carte menu. staff are friendly, efficient but you can wait a bit for service as it became busy as soon as it opened. prices are reasonable and the lunch special is very well priced as it is a meal and glass of wine. was hard to choose from the range of desserts so will be back to try some more as the turkish date cake was delicious.
