When you think Turkish food do you think kebabs? Pasha's show that Turkish food is so much more by serving up traditional meals in a cosy and intimate setting. It is BYO, which is even better.

Cinema's how they are supposed to be! A small cinema that manages to re-create that movie magic feeling - not like the huge chain cinemas. Right on King Street in the heart of Newtown.

Shopping
Newtown has plenty of retro gift stores but Holy Kitsch is a favourite. Think Mexican day of the dead retro and you'll see why this shop is different than others. Well worth a visit.
