Gigi Baba

Last night we trundled over to Smith St to Gigi Baba for some Turkish, evening grub at ~8.30pm and were told the wait was about 45 minutes! A little on the pricey side, it was still worth it. (The person who recommended it to me said when it first opened last year, word had gotten around and people were apparently on waiting lists to get in!)

It was stifling in there last night and it was buzzing- I loved the walls of carpet, the jungle of dim light bulbs, and the wall littered with ornate porcelain plates.






I feel uneasy when there is a huge menu where ever I go because:
A) it's overwhelming
B) the likelihood of picking something really well done is generally slim

Suffice to say I was very pleased upon discovering the menu had only a handful of dips, meats, salads and desserts.

HIGHLIGHTS: The Baba Ganoush dip, their bread and BBQ lamb sausages simply blew our shoes off.
ALSO WORTH TRYING: Capsicum and tomato dip, prawns, BBQ beef ribs.

A must try.
