Babajan app for iPhone and iPad

Middle Eastern speciality chef Kirsty Chiaplias brings you Babajan, a Turkish-leaning bakery and cafe, which has taken over from Troy Kebab Corner on Nicholson Street in Carlton North.

Kirsty has a Greek background and more than 20 years’ experience in professional kitchens, including working for Gordon Ramsay. She says fellow Chefs inspired her to learn to cook and work with Turkish food.

Babajan - a respectful term for an elderly, kind man – is the result of this desire and Kirsty hasn’t looked back since the café opened in 2016.
