Safran - ETTALONG BEACH

We had the banquet for four and all the courses were fabulous. Enjoyed our night as this place had a great atmosphere . Would have liked more of the bread for dips but that a minor thing .

We are regulars at Safran but felt it worth a post to give a heads up on the high quality of the food and consistency of service at this venue. Having experienced most Mezes at Safran, except possibly the vegetarian, I had a delightful exposure today to the Safran goat with apricot and herb purée. Excellent!For those who have enjoyed Goat in most Mediterranean countries, you will not find the Safran presentation lacking in comparison and flavour. There is a little fat but this adds to a moist and flavoursome meat.Be warned that the goat serving is a large and filling meal.We had the calamari and Shepard salad to start, and we have found the salad , as always, provides the perfect balance to the Mezes.The Safran beverage list is well priced and the selection very good. The wine be the glass , for good quality wines, is underpriced relative to other Central Coast restaurants - and worthwhile!The service by PJ, Jai and team, is of a high standard. Thank you.Overall, an excellent dining experience and the goat - for one who knows - is very worthwhile! Recommended.

The atmosphere was lovely, the wait staff helpful and welcoming and the food was enjoyable and a little different. There was a great range for the celiac and the vegetarian. A really great experience. would definitely return.

We have been here a few times and the food is always wonderful. The service is fantastic too. This is one of my absolute favourite restaurants. Thankyou for another great night out.

We visited this restaurant after reading many reviews and have to say we were not really impressed. It makes me wonder if people on the Central Coast are just prepared to accept average food compared to Sydney. Hopefully standards can improve. We chose the banquet - - food quite bland , lamb fatty , one dish cold and the chicken kebab - I don't like saying this but I have had tastier at the kebab shop in the shopping centre at chatswood chase- suggest management go and try. Rocket in a Turkish salad , dips could of been from coles. It's overpriced and I really cant understand why this place is so busy maybe so little choice on the central coast, no competition so restaurants don't strive to really excel. The food , the ambience, the decor - doesn't feel like a Turkish restaurant. Sorry to give a bad review but just being honest.
