Hamsi Taverna is a love letter to the Mediterranean – a seaside celebration of good food, good music and connection through shared experience.

Experience builds better.

Restauranteurs Berk Cemail and Fatih Kulle from Efendy Group are no strangers to the industry. When the time came to open their latest, high-end offering at Sydney Fish Markets, Unita was the natural fit.

Coastal vibes.

Hamsi Taverna is at the crossroads of sea breeze and city spirit, bringing a slice of Aegean culture to Sydney’s harbourside. Replete with brightly coloured umbrellas, linen tablecloths, echoing laughter and a DJ spinning grooves till late, it is already becoming a fast favourite for locals and visitors alike.

You might have a great design, but if you don’t have a great builder, something like this will not come to life. We will definitely work with Unita again if we open another restaurant.

A shared vision.

This fitout was made possible through close collaboration with Barbara Albert from Alkot Studio, who was adamant that Unita should deliver the project. As one of Unita’s long-term design partners, Barbara knew we had what it takes to surpass all expectations and deliver a fitout that aligned with her vision, without compromise.

Often, fitout companies substitute finishes or materials without first discussing the change with the designer. I knew Unita wouldn’t do that.
