This Turkish chef will NEVER sell kebabs at his Melbourne restaurantA chef who refused to sell kebabs at his Turkish restaurant in Melbourne is a decision that almost sent him out of business in the first three years.
Coskun Uysal, owner of Tulum Restaurant in Balaclava, moved to Victoria from Istanbul five years ago and wanted to share how his culture's cuisine expands further than the popular meat dish.
In the first few years, diners would visit the restaurant expecting 'a big menu with kebabs and dips' and left unhappy when they realised it was quite the opposite.
But when Mr Uysal appeared on MasterChef in 2018 and 2020 as a guest chef, everything changed.
