Crisp yet gooey, the künefe is a masterpiece that captures the essence of Turkish desserts.

With incredibly reasonable prices and staff who treat you like family, Tez Cafe is not just a place to eat; it’s a destination for those craving authentic Turkish flavors. As customer Shaye Harty discovered, the vegetarian offerings are just as delightful. The Stuffed Capsicum is a hearty meal bursting with flavors, complemented by a fresh, tangy side salad that highlights the café's commitment to quality ingredients and culinary integrity.

If u miss Türkiye come here I’ve been to their first branch in Broadmeadows love the menu. When I found out it’s opened near me Thornbury can’t help to go and enjoy my dessert in peace . If you want to see how Kanafa is made , they do fresh ones infront of you . Love the services esp Zeyneb so warm and friendly . Thanks guys and congrats on the openings .

What a treat to discover Tez Cafe today. I parked in front to go to a neighboring business but was hungry so I thought I would have a look at the menu. The service was great, as a vegetarian I got recommended the Stuffed Capsicum. It came out fast and was delicious! The side salad was a bonus, fresh and tangy with lots of flavour but not too much dressing. The coffee was great, and the atmosphere is lovely, I even liked the music. I can't wait to come back again and try their famous Kunefe and Baklava.

Great people, great vibes, great food. Kunefe of your dreams. What are you waiting for? Stop wasting your time and come eat already. This is the kind of place that deserves to be packed out! Yummy stuff.

I came here for the first time two days in a row. First during the day and second during the evening. Service was quick, attentive and friendly both times. Coffee is good. I had the pictured profiterole dessert which was tasty. The night visit was bustling, and so it was super loud (as well as the music playing), and too difficult to hear the person just sitting across the table from me. I would rather come during the day. Parking would be easier as well.
