[ACT] OzBargain 17th Birthday - Yarralumla Meetup (Monday 6 Nov, 6PM @ Turkish Halal Pide House)

cerealsmok3r on 10/10/2023 - 22:13

Come and celebrate OzBargain's 17th birthday!

Organising an event for the Canberrans and saw this deal where it equates to $15pp but requires 8 people. They have a monster kebab that comes with two large chips and drinks at $120. Will ring the place up to confirm that this offer is still available

Will be capped to 16 people. Since there isn't much seating option, we will either head to the nearby oval or small park near the tiny river and have a picnic there. I have no idea if they would be willing to assist us in transporting it there but that's a future cerealsmok3r problem

Details
Date: Monday 6 November 2023
Time: 6pm
Location: Shop 1/47 Novar St, Yarralumla ACT 2600
Cap: 16

There may be shirts available :)

    Bummer, want to attend and grab a shirt for this year but I'm overseas then :(

    • cerealsmok3r on 12/10/2023 - 11:07

      Nooo I could leave you a shirt if you happen to be able to make it to the other event. Unfortunately have to check you in to give the shirt unless theres surplus

    Turkish Halal Pide House for those playing at home. Also FYI, the owner has sold the place around July 2022 and now at the Belco store.

    How set in are you on the monster kebab? It is still available to order on the website, but I can imagine people will have dietary requirements or preference for topping/sauce and make it hard to coordinate a standardised order for everyone.

    A standard kebab is $15.50 and will allow everyone to pick to their own liking.

      The value for money is still there despite owner moved to Belco but I can’t really find a difference in taste between both stores, except that the meat is more tender at the Belco store

    • cerealsmok3r on 12/10/2023 - 11:06

      Thanks for the headsup! Do you know if its any good? I think we can get one monster kebab for 8 people and those with dietary requirements could order their own?

      Alternatively, I'm happy to scrap it and organise for a place at Dickson instead

      • CodeXD on 12/10/2023 - 12:31

        I don't get Turkish in general very often so I won't be able to vouch for it. I just wanted to point out the limited options available if we are all required to share a monster kebab and possibly turn people off from attending.

        I get that the point of the meet ups is not to get free food, but if attendees don't have the option of restaurant or food choice then it will greatly reduce the experience.

        Dickson/Belco or even Gungahlin for North side meet up would be good for those up in that area.

        Hi all- I was at last year's event at Gami's and thought that was great! I feel like individual kebabs/snack packs would be better as the monster per serving is only $1ish difference and then there's dietary requirements and transporting the damn thing lol. FYI there are also Kebab/Turkish in Civic (Kebaba) and Woden (Turkish Pide House) if location is inconvenient…

  • Pandamony on 11/10/2023 - 23:55

    I had a falafel kebab from there tonight.

    There are five different monster kebabs available, which one will be ordered? The options are lamb, kebab, chicken, falafal or mix.

    • cerealsmok3r on 12/10/2023 - 11:07

      Do you know if we may be able to get two versions in one? would be idea for mix and falafel

  • jesho on 14/10/2023 - 15:00

    I'm keen for this, A Dickson/inner north meetup would also be great.

    • cerealsmok3r on 15/10/2023 - 00:05

      Did you want to organise it? happy to help you with it (:

      yep! he's welcome to attend if he has an ozbargain account - he just needs to click attending and I can sign him in. Baby is welcome to attend!

  • cerealsmok3r on 29/10/2023 - 16:25

    Just gave them a ring and looks like we will have to bring it over to the parks ourselves. hopefully no mozzies are around while we have it at the nearby park

      Thanks for organising!

      Do you have supply of tshirts for this event?

      • cerealsmok3r on 04/11/2023 - 10:28

        yep! I've got 20 to share between this and @BargainsGrabber's event so probably looking at 10/10 split preferring longtime ozbargainers.

        • CodeXD on 04/11/2023 - 10:28

          Perfect, thank you for the update!

    hey all just a headsup that this is on. please untick your attendance if youre unable to make it. Otherwise, I'll see you all in an hour with your ozbargain shirts (:

    • cerealsmok3r on 06/11/2023 - 17:43

      also forgot to mention, since this is a takeaway place we will have to grab the stuff and probably move to the Community Playground closeby. I'm about to head off now and will probably be a few mins late but hope to see you all there! I'll be in an ozbargain shirt :D

Feel free to organise the events next time and I'll be keen to come over to help out/co-organise or join from the other side of time. As promised, here is the google album. Thanks for joining me on this adventure haha and pray for my safe passage back to Sydney ((:
