Love the food and the experience! The food is very filling and tastes incredible, highly recommend!! Celebrated my mums 50th and had the best surprises when the robot came and delivered the food to our table singing happy birthday. The staff were lovely and welcoming. I will be coming back and telling my friends about this new hidden treasure!!!

Kismet Grounds has awesome food, great service and a nice atmosphere. I was invited to Kismet Grounds last year by a friend and since that first meeting have fallen in love with place. It's a must visit once in Sydney to have the Turkish Breakfast which is quite delicious. Highly recommend :)

Good food, well made. Nice service. It's a street side Cafe in Granville, so outside is ok, but inside decor and atmosphere are great. Very good coffee.

A good Friend of mine She is from Turkey invited me to this beautiful Restaurant, I love the vibe which is very authentic place to dine in. The Breakfast generous and big to enjoy. Also, I love the dessert so fresh and delicious. The only I think perhaps to improve the air-conditioning wasn't working properly I guess it was a hot day too so no blame. Over all highly recommend this place !

Excellent coffee! We were greeted as soon as we walked in and seated. Didn't take long before we placed our order and received it. Brought the kids back that same morning for breakfast too!

Plenty of parking with up to 3 hours free which makes it really convenient. We took the lift and made our way to Kismet Grounds in Granville. My wife and I always drive past and it always looked busy, so today we finally decided to stop in. We were hungry and definitely needed that hit. My wife was hoping the servings would be generous, and let’s just say she couldn’t finish her Garlic Prawns with Garlic Bread. The food was fresh, well seasoned and absolutely delicious. My Big Breakfast was perfect, the best Big Breakfast I ever had thus far, the bar is set and it's high. All the staff looked happy, welcoming and very well presented. Our server, I think was the Manager/ Owner which made the experience even better. The venue itself was clean, bright and spacious, creating a very comfortable atmosphere. We will definitely be back, and next time I need to bring the whole family but I might have a cheeky breakfast, now and then.

We had a lovely time. One of our orders got mixed up, I was ready to give 1 star, but after tasting how good it was... I completely forgot about any mishaps. I'm extremely satisfied, the coffee tasted even better. The pricing is good! You get what you pay for and if you want a decent Turkish breakfast, this is definitely the place. It's quite busy on weekends and even on a Monday morning took a few minutes to get a seat. I'd recommend going a bit early and not when you're on your last nerve and hungry.
