A fight over a takeaway gozleme ended with a man in hospital and another charged with assault in Sydney at the weekend.

Police said the fight erupted over the amount of cheese in the traditional Turkish pastry dish, which was being sold at the Family Festival in Auburn on Sunday afternoon.

A NSW Police spokeswoman said a 41-year-old man bought the gozleme from a food stall in Progress Park, where a large number of people had gathered for the cultural festival just after 5pm.

However, the man was unhappy with the meagre amount of cheese he received on his meal.
