The vision behind the plate

Here’s what Skewd’s Executive Chef and Founder, Maz Demir, says about the philosophy that drives every dish and every moment of the dining experience:

“At Skewd, it’s all about the finer details — from handpicked ingredients sourced from local farms, to the technical precision in our cooking, to the meticulous attention in our service. Every small detail comes together to paint the perfect picture — the Skewd way.”

“Fire brings people together. That’s why every ingredient in our kitchen is touched by fire — from grill to oven. That same energy flows from our kitchen into the hearts of our service team and bar, creating a dining experience that’s both soulful and unforgettable.”

Skewd’s must-try dishes

These five dishes are handpicked favourites from the Skewd team, bold, contemporary takes on Anatolian cuisine that steal the spotlight.

Wagyu Adana Juicy, smoky and unforgettable

A luxurious twist on our much-loved classic. Made with premium Australian Wagyu beef, it’s incredibly tender and full of flavour. This dish is all about elevating tradition while respecting the roots, making it one of our standout recommendations.

Oak Smoked Watermelon Special Smoked, chilled, and ready for summer

Vibrant, refreshing, and perfect for the warmer months for our vegetarian diners. This dish offers a balance of sweetness, spice, and savoury richness. It’s light yet bold, and ideal for summer dining.

Ali Nazik Stylish and full of flavour

A timeless Anatolian dish reimagined with Skewd finesse. Smoky grilled aubergine and kapya pepper puree topped with marinated Sussex lamb makes for a rich and comforting combination. It’s simple, elegant, and full of character.

Lamb Shish Grilled to perfection

Our signature dish, crafted from the most tender cut — the middle neck of lamb. Marinated for 48 hours and grilled over charcoal to absolute perfection. A classic, elevated.

Oak-Smoked, Coal-Fired Octopus The perfect balance

Carefully hung and oak-smoked in open air for exactly 2 hours to achieve the perfect balance of smokiness. Finished in our wood-fired oven for a crisp exterior and a tender, delicate centre. A must for seafood lovers.
