A little taste of Türkiye in every sip. 🇹🇷

Turkish-inspired cocktails, fresh summer flavours and a little Mediterranean sunshine.

Summer is better with a drink in hand. 🍸☀️ Turkish

Tulum was never just about food. ❤️

It started with a simple dream — to share the flavours I grew up with in Istanbul, my mother’s cooking, and the memories that never leave you.

Using the best Australian ingredients, traditional Turkish flavours, and a little bit of my own story, I wanted to show people that Turkish food is so much more than kebabs and dips.

Ten years later, Tulum is still our story, served one plate at a time.

Thank you for being part of our journey. 🇹🇷❤️🇦🇺

Tulum is more than a restaurant. It’s a piece of Türkiye, told through food.

Rooted in tradition, inspired by memories, and made with the best Australian ingredients.

We don’t change the flavours of our childhood. We bring them to your table.

And most importantly, to our guests, thank you for believing in us, supporting us and being part of our journey for 10 years. ❤️

There is something about warm bread that always feels like home.

Our Turkish pide comes out hot, soft and fluffy, with a little smoky edge — ready to tear, dip and share.

With our house-made Turkish chilli jam: sweet, spicy and a little addictive.

For me, this is Turkish food at its simplest — put bread in the middle of the table and everyone comes closer.

In the Turkish Aegean, olive oil is not just a cooking ingredient — it is part of the way food is prepared, served and enjoyed. The cuisine is built around vegetables, herbs, grains and legumes, with olive oil giving them richness without making them heavy.

Think you know Turkish food? Think again.

Türkiye has seven regions — and each one tells a completely different food story.

The Aegean — olive oil, herbs and vegetables.

The Mediterranean — citrus, seafood and fresh produce.

Central Anatolia — wheat, grains and comforting dishes.

The Black Sea — corn, anchovies and greens.

Eastern Anatolia — lamb, butter and warming flavours.

Southeastern Anatolia — spice, kebabs, bulgur and pistachios.

And Marmara — where cultures and flavours come together.

Seven regions. Seven food cultures. One Türkiye.

Afiyet olsun. ❤️

In Türkiye, a meal often begins with these two words. The Turkish way of wishing someone a good meal. It’s a wish that the food brings you health, happiness and enjoyment. It’s said across family tables, between friends, and from the kitchen to the guest.

At Tulum, we don’t just want to share Turkish food with Melbourne. We want to share the traditions, stories and little expressions that come with it.

From our table to yours...afiyet olsun. 🇹🇷
