“ Well what a fun feed this was. Coal grill burning away with scewers of meat all over the place. Meal size is excellent 4 eating and we took 3 food boxes home so size of meal is great. The flavor is awesome, freshness is perfect, fun factor of having a different nationality meal. One meal was a kids burger Kofte I think it was called and it was huge, the lad couldn't finish it. Definitely will be back again, oh and staff were lovely. ”
“ I visited Akdeniz Grill House in Port Macquarie last night, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch — fast, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. We ordered the Mixed Grill for Two, and let me tell you, the portion was incredibly generous — it could easily feed three people. Every item on the plate was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The meats were beautifully chargrilled, juicy, and seasoned just right. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into their food. If you're ever in Port Macquarie and craving delicious, authentic Turkish cuisine, Akdeniz Grill House is a must-visit! ”
“ Fab Turkish restaurant with really great grilled meat. Hubby had the special grilled barramundi and prawns and I had mixed shish and they were both really good. Meat was tasty and tender. Good value for money too. Nice and warm inside on a cold night, friendly staff and great Greek and Turkish music on the playlist. Easy parking right outside. ”
“ If you are into Port Macquarie, do not skip this restaurant. Service was excellent, accommodating and helpful. Food was more than we expected, tasty, fresh, full of flavours. Our Akdeniz meat plater and lamb, both have been delicious. Atmosphere was lovely. Music in the background, traditional and not to loud. We loved everything. Highly recommended to anyone. ”

“ We visited Aldeniez Grill House in Port Macquarie tonight as two families (a group of 10). Although the service was a bit slow, the food more than made up for it. Every dish was delicious and authentic—it truly felt like we were dining in Istanbul, even though we are on the other side of the world. Food: Absolutely amazing! Every plate was full of flavor and beautifully presented. Atmosphere: Warm and welcoming, with a real Turkish vibe. Service: A little slow, but the staff were friendly and helpful. If you’re craving authentic Turkish cuisine, this place is a must-visit. We all left happy and satisfied! ”
