Chippendale, Erskineville, Newtown, Pyrmont, Rozelle, Ultimo - On Today Tonight 01/07/10<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>ARE YOU READY TO JOIN THE PARTY?? </b></span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Check out what this Zumba craze is all about...I guarantee you won’t be disappointed! </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">If you haven’t heard about Zumba before let me fill you in: Zumba is a fun, exciting fitness class based on simple Latin American dance moves. It’s not a dance class, it’s not a gym class - it’s a party! So it doesn’t matter if you cant dance, if you haven’t exercised in a while or if you think yourself completely uncoordinated - the emphasis is on having fun and Zumba is for everyone! However, do come prepared to sweat - it’s an awesome workout! </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Feel free to bring your friends and tell everyone you know to get down to the class! The bigger the party - the better!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Sydney’s inner west is uniquely rich in street art and has some of the best examples in Australia.

Somer the owner was very friendly, generous and of course knew his Turkish stuff. Food was fantastic, very interesting and tasty dishes, all with a heartwarming feel to them. The restaurant itself was lovely too, as was the service - warm, professional and attentive. You walk into the spacious courtyard area where you can sit outside on a nice day, and see the Efendy bar on your right, and then walk into the multi-level restaurant with authentic decor all around. <br />

Fantastic Lamb, Beef, Touches of yoghurt and spices, Aromatic Nutty rice, and accompaniments that stood out, such as the Ahirdagi Salata - Finely chopped salad of tomato, cucumber, red onion, walnuts, pomegranate...<br />
<br />
At the "Mey" Efendy bar you can enjoy cocktails with a Turkish touch, aperitifs, digestives, cigars and a variety of boutique European and Australian wines by the glass before or after your dinner at the lower floor.<br />
