The Turkish Tea House, Balwyn by Obelix

When it comes to food presentation, the Turks and the Japanese have got this in the bag.  I find the food just taste so much better when presented on the most liveliest plates and platters and exquisite metal ware.

turkish apple tea;  the turkish tea house
Kiddo and I took her grandparents out for brunch at The Turkish Tea House and there was something for everyone there.

tabouleh;  the turkish tea house
Kiddo and I shared a tabouleh.  This was not your average tabouleh from the deli section at Coles.  This was a riot of colour and had the addition of red cabbage and piquant pickled chillis as well as the usual tabouleh suspects.  So fresh and delicious.

vegetarian pita;  the turkish tea house
We also shared a vegetarian pita bread stuffed with haloumi, sweet potato, tomato and spinach.

sucuk and eggs;  the turkish tea house
My parents shared a sucuk and eggs which was a take on the familiar of eggs and sausages.  It was baked eggs permeated with the spices from the sucuk.  Yum!

manti;  the turkish tea house
The manti were little mini ravioli in a yoghurt and mint and paprika sauce.  These were so moreish but rich so best shared.

Our brunch drinks were delightful.   I had a Turkish apple tea which the camera failed to capture the rosy pinkness of.

Kiddo went with a Turkish lemonade.

My dad went for one of his favourite beverages - a freshly brewed Turkish tea.

desserts;  the turkish tea house
The sweet displays looked ever so decadent with syrupy offerings.

pomegranate and pistachio turkish delight;  the turkish tea house
We were so pleased to be offered complimentary Turkish delight.  This was a pomegranate flavour with pistachios.  Hands down one of the best Turkish delights I've had.

The interior is cosy with gorgeous Turkish furnishings throughout.  The Turkish Tea House has a gift shop upstairs, well worth a look.
