Gustum Turkish Bar & Restaurant is a family friendly dining venue at 72 Rose Lane in Liverpool. Its relaxed room, open kitchen and emphasis on generous hospitality make it suited to lunch, dinner, group celebrations and an informal meal shared around the table.
Cold and hot meze provide a broad introduction to the kitchen, including hummus, cacık, vine leaves, börek, grilled halloumi and calamari. Freshly made bread and dips encourage sharing, while vegan and gluten-free-labelled choices give mixed groups several ways to begin.
Real charcoal drives the main selection, with Adana kebab, chicken and lamb shish, lamb chops and mixed grills cooked over the fire. Turkish stews, İskender, Beyti, seafood and vegetable dishes add variety for guests who want something beyond the grill.
Cocktails, wine and beer accompany the food, and baklava or another Turkish dessert offers a traditional finish. Collection and delivery are also available during designated hours, while diners with allergies should confirm ingredients, marinades and shared kitchen practices directly with the restaurant.
