Signature Menu Items & Specialties

Kebaba ANU is celebrated for offering a focused yet highly craveable selection of Turkish-inspired dishes. The kitchen emphasizes halal-certified proteins and time-honored preparation methods that honor the culinary heritage of Anatolia. Each plate is assembled to order, ensuring maximum freshness and the ideal balance of textures and flavors.

Halal Snack Packs (HSPs)

The Halal Snack Pack has become the most talked-about item on the menu, and for good reason. This hearty box layers crispy, golden fries with your choice of seasoned meat – most popularly beef or mixed meat – and tops it all with a rich trio of garlic, barbecue, and chili sauces. The result is a satisfying, indulgent fusion of Turkish kebab traditions and modern Australian comfort food culture. The Mixed Meat HSP is a standout, offering a combination of chicken and beef that keeps every bite interesting. Customers frequently cite the crispiness of the fries and the generous meat-to-chip ratio as reasons they return.

Hand-Rolled Wraps & Gözleme

The traditional wraps at Kebaba ANU are crafted using soft, lightly toasted flatbread that is rolled tightly around your choice of succulent shaved beef or tender marinated chicken. Fresh lettuce, tomato, and onion provide a cool, crisp contrast, while the signature combination of tahini and garlic sauce adds a creamy, nutty depth that elevates the entire experience. For those seeking a flaky, golden pastry, the kitchen also prepares gözleme – a classic Turkish flatbread filled with ingredients like spinach and feta or spiced minced meat, then cooked on a griddle until the exterior is perfectly crisp and the interior is warm and melted.

Sides & Complements

No meal at Kebaba ANU is complete without an order of their excellent chips, which are repeatedly praised in reviews for their crisp exterior and fluffy interior. These can be enjoyed on their own, dipped in the house-made sauces, or as the base of the famous snack pack.
