Otto Noorba

We had a fantastic dinner at Otto Noorba's. The vegetarian dishes were delicious and felt very well balanced in quality and quantity. The place has both indoor and proper outdoor seating. The ambience in both areas is quite relaxing. They're well maintained and clean, including the bathrooms.

The staff were very friendly, helpful, and attentive! They were patient with our dietary questions and had good recommendations.

All things considered we walked out satisfied, our hunger satiated and minds relaxed.

Chilled out vibe, sitting outside on a sunny afternoon having sangria.

Not tried the food apart from snacking (good life), although would be happy to. In fact, having sat here and enjoyed the snacks and sangria I'm wishing we had the time to stop longer and have a full meal.

Really like this place.

First time in Glebe and highly recommend stopping by to eat. We really enjoyed the food and staff are friendly.
Great seating inside and outside.

The best restaurant in the city. I always eat there when I am in Sydney. The staff is very kind and friendly. ❤🇦🇷

Lets cut to the chase.

This place is cozy and calm, with a nice garden entry and outdoor seating. I was greeted on arrival by Tori, and that greeting was wholesome.

Yes, the place looks understaffed but it actually helped me have a better experience in a way. In fact, every table is attended by a staff member atleast twice to make sure everything is going well. If at all any, the wait time here felt better than that at other places.

Let me tell you why.

This is a place where you come with your family and spend time talking while waiting, and while having food.

This is a place where you come with your girlfriend on a weekend morning and have a lovely conversation that makes your relationship more beautiful.

Some people might say that the service is slow. To be honest, it’s not slow and one reason could be that they’ve learnt from past feedback. My order arrived in 15 minutes. I was given my drink first, my Garlic bread next and my main dish a while after. They made sure my table had something to eat/drink.

I see the wait time as the time you will spend with your loved ones while enjoying a decent instrumental music on mid-low volume in the background, while waiting for fresh and delicious food that’s worth the wait.

This is not a fast food centre.

They cleaned the tables straight away when customers leave, even though the place is not very busy. I’ve seen lots of other places where they leave the plates on the table for hours.

Overall, if you want to set your mood right, if you want to settle small misunderstandings with your close ones or just want to get some relief from the work- life stress, I would personally recommend this place.

P.S: NO. I AM NOT BEING PAID FOR THIS REVIEW.

Amazing staff. We had a person with garlic allergy and the staff accomodate by changing the menu and make most of the food without garlic. They had to cook all their food from the beginning. The ambience was good and a live Jazz band was playing. Price is average and not expensive for Turkish food. Highly recommend this place.

I completely loved this place, beatiful restaurant with awesome food. I tried a chicken supreme pide and it was delicious.

Such a lovely family-owned restaurant with both Turkish and Italian cuisines. I highly recommend visiting for wholesome and delicious dishes. They make everything from scratch including pasta and baklava which is fantastic!

I loved the ambience here. We visited on a Jazz night so our spectacular dinner was accompanied with wonderful music.

The star of the show for me was the Adana, it was some of best lamb I've ever had because it was so juicy, tender and easy to cut through! I also enjoyed the ravioli, it was impressively smooth, soft and creamy.⠀
⠀
Even though we were so full, we couldn't stop snacking on the bread and dips because it was just so yummy!

The chocolate lava cake oozed so beautifully and almost fell off the plate! It was so satisfying.

I was the most excited to try the baklava and it definitely satisfied my cravings. The pastry was incredibly flakey, not too sweet and I loved the pistachio flavour.⠀
⠀
This was my first time trying kunefe and I was so impressed. It was the sweetest dish with a hint of cheesiness and very crunchy.

I had dinner here with my Mum last night and we both enjoyed it very much. Food and service were both great. My Mum had the lentil soup, which was delicious (I tried a spoonful), and my chicken and avocado salad was fresh and tasty. The front courtyard is cheerful and welcoming. We'll be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal! There were 6 of us and every one of us loved our meal. The service was amazing.
Definitely recommend.

Dining here was a beautiful experience overall. The decor is inviting and has a calming effect on the diner...it feels like home. The entrees were of a beautiful assortment of harmoniously combined flavours. Although my cut of veal in the parmigiana was thinner than expected and the flavours a bit too subtle for my liking, the veggies were perfect. All in all, the staff made the dining experience pleasantly unforgettably, and I would definitely return for that.

Really nice atmosphere (especially outside) with great shaded areas and comfortable seating. Lovely plants as well.
Delicious, hearty food with good serving sizes.
Also great promotions (e.g. the garlic bread is complimentary when you order a pasta)
Good vegetarian options as well.
I recommend the vegetarian pide, bruschetta, pesto gnocchi, vegetarian pizza and turkish lemonade.
Great staff.

On a sunny day you can sit in the beautifully made garden. Looks very green compared to the surrounding area:) Meals look and taste fantastic. Waiters are polite and fast

3rd visit, just gets better and better.
Food Big section, delicious and sensational!
Atmosphere: amazing and entertaining
Service: soooo friendly and welcoming!!
Entertainment : emotional!!
If there was an options for more stars they would get them all.

Best taste of Turkish dishes I've ever had in Sydney! We had a great Sunday lunch here with live jazz music.
Delicious food, reasonable prices and very nice staff. Thanks Otto Noorba for being so good.

Fantastic restaurant and cafe with great Turkish food and all day breakfasts. Warm and friendly service with cosy indoor decor and an outdoor courtyard area. Perfect choice for breafast, lunch, dinner or just a coffee and dessert.

Food, atmosphere and everything was beautiful. Mary was also kind and helpful with us definitely would br coming here again. Turkish music is definitely a must to listen to 👌

This place is very friendly and kind.
The staff are very hard working and nice.the food was lovely and tasty. I would recommend this to all my family and friends. Beautiful environment.

I want to give a special shout to Tori. She was a fantastic waitress! She helped us order the right drinks and dish for us and went out of her way to ensure we felt comfortable. We ordered the Raki and Kanafe. Tori showed us how to drink the Raki the Turkish way with lots of ice and a bit of water. It was a lovely drink. We also enjoyed the live music which is on every Saturday night. They kept the crowd entertained and brought such an authentic feel to the overall experience. We only went for their drinks and dessert initially so aren't really sure about the main course. The restaurant is open till 1 am. So if you're looking for some late night entertainment and some drinks, maybe give Otto a try.

Amazing Turkish 🇹🇷 food, we loved the food here. The food was fresh, tasty and the customer service was outstanding as well👍🏻 I would highly recommend this place 😊
