About Konak Turkish Restaurant

Konak anchors King Street with honest Turkish cooking built around generous communal plates in an intimate setting. Diners head straight through the snug dining room to the covered rear courtyard—a quiet pocket buffered by soft background music. Tables fill with shared meze spreads of colourful dips and warm bread, before plates of tender beef dumplings arrive slicked with burnt chilli butter.

  • Covered Courtyard Dining: A sheltered rear courtyard area offers an unhurried, relaxed outdoor retreat away from the main strip.
  • Traditional Sharing Plates: Generous communal spreads centre on colourful dips, warm bread, and savoury beef dumplings finished with burnt chilli butter.

Before you head over

Practical tips on timing, portion sizes, and seating to make the most of your visit

  • Allow Extra Time on Peak Evenings

    Wait times can occasionally reach up to 50 minutes during busy dinner services when the small floor team is stretched. Consider dining earlier in the evening or arriving with ample time so an unhurried pace fits your plans.

  • Pace Your Communal Ordering

    Portions are notably generous, with a bread and dips platter alongside a single main like the Turkish beef dumplings providing more than enough food for two diners. Order progressively to avoid over-ordering.

  • Request the Covered Courtyard

    If you prefer an outdoor setting away from the intimate front room, ask to sit out the back in the sheltered courtyard area for a relaxed, covered dining environment.
