Haha I like the ice cream man but he scares my youngest with the bell
I've tried lots of the restaurants in Calis over the last 3 years (about 8 weeks of holidays) and Mangal is my favourite.
I too like the main guy on the entrance. Never pushy, always welcoming and keeps the guys attentive.
Many of the other restaurants seem to be of a muchness and I can't help but feel that the general standard has gone down a bit with it becoming a bit generic. I can't quite put my finger on it but Calis does feel less unique this year. It's starting to become like other places which is a shame as it needs to keep that unique, innocent charm to it otherwise if it looks like everywhere else then you might as well go anywhere else.
Haven't been to Guvens yet this year but that's normally really good too and with an away from it feel.
The only other places where we seem to be able to order anything from the menu and it's consistently good are Mozaic in Fethiye and Calis Indian - I know you shouldn't have a curry on holiday
but the first special dish on the menu is really really good.
A quick question for this other Mangal appreciators- where else do you go for consistently good food? We went to Vojos last night and wouldn't necessarily go back. We keep trying new places but a so so meal is a missed opportunity to go somewhere that you know will be good.....
