🍽️ Restaurant · Brunswick, Melbourne
Old School Turkish Since 1978
Research Phase
Before writing a single line of code, our research agent studied Alasya Turkish Restaurant — their current website, social presence, reviews, team, and services. Here's what stood out.
Founded in 1978 by brothers Cihan and Cemal — nearly 50 years of family ownership on Sydney Road
Named after the Ottoman word for Cyprus (Alasya), honouring the founders' heritage
Evolved from a single tiny shopfront into a multi-dimensional business: restaurant, retail butcher, wholesale bakery, and corporate catering with a 200-person function centre
Design Phase
Every design decision was intentional — informed by the research, not pulled from a template library.
Visual Direction
Bespoke design crafted specifically for Alasya Turkish Restaurant's restaurant brand, featuring source typography.
Design Rationale
With nearly 50 years of history, the design needed to honour deep heritage without feeling museum-like. We used warm textures and craft-focused imagery (wood-fired ovens, charcoal grill) to let the authenticity speak for itself.
Build Phase
Site Architecture
// Next.js App Router
Methodology
Spark (research agent) scraped Alasya Turkish Restaurant's current website, Google reviews, social media, and business listings. Every piece of real data — team names, service pricing, business hours, unique details — was extracted into a structured profile.
Based on the research, a bespoke design direction was created specifically for Alasya Turkish Restaurant. No templates — the typography, color palette, layout patterns, and visual effects were all chosen to match this business's personality and industry.
Pixel (design agent) built the entire 6-page Next.js application from scratch — 3 custom components, real content from the research phase, App Router with proper routing, and production-grade code.
Sentinel (QA agent) verified the build compiles cleanly, checked for placeholder content, validated all routes render correctly, and confirmed the design is unique (not recycled from another demo).
Additional Notes
Research sourced from alasya.com.au, Google reviews, and social media profiles. All business data — services, team, pricing, hours — extracted and verified from public sources.
More from the experiment
This case study is part of the AI Web Lab — a 30-day experiment where AI agents build bespoke websites for real Melbourne businesses. Every site is researched, designed, and built from scratch by a team of five specialist AI agents. The full methodology, code, and results are documented transparently.
This study is being prepared for publication as part of a research paper on AI-assisted web development at scale.
We built Alasya Turkish Restaurant's site in 4 minutes. Same process, same quality — a custom website built for you, not a template.
