About Istanbul 1923

Kedron's go-to for generous Turkish feasts dishes out charcoal-grilled meats, warm pide, and slow-cooked stews right off Gympie Road. Tables fill quickly with hefty mixed platters piled with lamb cutlets, dips, and warm Turkish bread—making it an easy pick for rowdy group get-togethers and casual family dinners. Regulars know to bring their own wine for a modest ten-dollar corkage fee and pace themselves before tackling the main event. Save room for the finish: hot, honeyed baklava or knafeh alongside a potent, freshly brewed Turkish coffee.

  • Feast-Style Platters: Sprawling mixed grill boards, fresh pide, and hearty multi-course banquets built for sharing across big tables.
  • Traditional Sweets & Coffee: Sweet endings spotlighting hot knafeh and rich baklava served with strong Turkish coffee.
  • BYO Wine Friendly: Guests can bring their favorite wine bottles to pair with dinner for a $10 corkage fee.
