Katik Turkish Take Away - Food VIC

5 /5 Christopher Wu: Katik is often called the best adana in Melbourne, and I can confidently say it is the best adana I have had in Australia so far. I have tried a few in Adelaide and several around Melbourne, and this one easily tops them. What makes it stand out for me is the bread. It is incredibly soft, and the adana itself is very flavourful, which complements the bread perfectly. A lot of places either lack flavour in the meat or use bread that is too thick and overpowering, but Katik gets the balance right. I also ordered a mixed grill plate to try the kebab meat and the chicken. The chicken was definitely better than the lamb, though both were still good. It was fairly standard spit-style meat, nothing overly special, but solid and enjoyable. I also tried one of their pastries, which reminded me of a very thin, crispy pizza base with sun-dried or dried tomato flavours. Very subtle, but when paired with greens and a hint of lemon it worked well. It reminded me of something you would get at places like A1 Bakery, but this was a style I had not tried before alongside adana. Two adanas, a mixed grill plate, two drinks, and a pastry came to around $40 to $50, which is solid value in this economy. Definitely a place I would return to. That said, if I did not live in the area, I am not sure I would go out of my way just for it. But if you love food and want to try what is, in my opinion, one of the best adanas in Melbourne, this place is worth checking out. If you are more of a casual eater, it is probably not somewhere you would travel across the city just for.

5 /5 Bënish Chaudhry: Hands down the best adana kebabs in Melbourne…the bread is soo soft and fresh ! I would highly recommend eating the wrap right away as it tastes best when fresh ! They have a v small sitting area.

5 /5 Jay Cao: Came here at 11am on a Saturday and man it was hectic! The staff was moving at lightning speed to deliver a mega order, 2 boxes full of the wraps, all I can see is generous portions of salad and meat served onto Turkish bread and wrapped up Like their livelihoods depended on it. We ordered the Adana plate, lamb Shish plate, Samsun pide and egg and cheese pide. Boy the life’s were made fresh and they were piping hot, thin pastries and plenty of filling. The plates were value for money, plenty of food, the salads are great, the dips are spectacular and the meats are carve or chargrilled fresh. This is truly an institution not to be missed in Campbellfield.

3 /5 S T W: Recommended for food and quality, service standards from lady/female server in blue tshirt leaves a lot to be desired. There is a familiar trajectory for these local gems. They start with a community spirit, fueled by the very people who took a chance on them when the doors first opened. However, as the scale increases, a certain success amnesia begins to set in. The original warmth starts to fade. That initial humility is MIA & perspective that forgets the hands that helped build the foundation. I hope to see improvement in service and more welcoming approach, which will complement the amazing food.
