Tried the Yakamoz ex Flamingo tonight. We were all very dissapointed. I don't believe it is the same chef. Food was aired and nowhere near as good. What a shame. We loved it when it was the Flamingo.

What does it mean when food is aired??
[?]
-
I also dont know what aired food is,but i think Yetkin said in his last post that the Chef left as well. ;)
-
It's probably a Yorkshire thing - I believe they leave most things out overnight before trying or consuming ;)
-
Or left under a grill to keep warm for 2 hours, gone hard and dry and thats not a Yorkshire thing!!

-

I think thats it, next to the used tea bags drying out ready for tommorrow's teapot ...... it's a form of recycling in yorkshire you know ;)

We also went to the yakamoz 2 days ago. We only had the pizza but found it to be very good. id certainly eat there again. One bad meal doesnt mean the next will be bad. Hopefully. Staff still very good and very welcoming. Good luck to the change.
-
For all you "non" Yorkshire people. Aired means "luke warm. We all had a different meal. All lukewarm and all not very good. We also tried them 2 days before as we wanted to be fair to them. Also not good. Sorry.
-
Ah well hopefully some new ones will be opening up along the front soon
-
We had lots of meals in the Yakamoz and every one was excellent. The steaks were the biggest in Fethiye. That was April May time so things may have altered. The prices were the best in Calis and Fethiye. We will be back in September hope things have not changed that much.
-
I thought their prices were up this year
-
The Yakamoz changed hands earlier in the season as did the other one which I can't spell !! lol. Boycegeizi?
-
Bogazici I think. I never knew they both had changed only one of them. I wondered if the Kardelen further along had also changed hands?
-
Last year my Turkish friends used to take me to Bogazici for a drink. This year they take me to Yakamoz because, so they say, the staff moved from Bogazici; as my friends are all women, I cannot say whether this is because of the efficiency of the waiters or because they are attractive. I have never eaten at either place and cannot comment on the food.
-
I have eaten many times at Yakamoz. I have never had a bad meal. The prices are reasonable and the setting wonderful. What else can you want?
PS,Efes is cheap, certainly given the location!
-
When I first moved there the Yakamoz was one of the places to be - location, menu, food, service - everything was top notch. When Bogazici opened it seemed to hit the Yakamoz hard - it went from being as described to a rather empty place who slashed their drink prices to try and attract customers back. As I recall that didn't work either.
It's surprising to read that the Bogazici staff were taken on at the Yakamoz - almost to a man their only skill was the amazing ability to miss all attempts to attract their attention.
-
When we were out last the two restaurants were very very busy every night and even during the days.
-
We had quite a few lunches at Bogazici - all of which we thoroughly enjoyed - the service seemed to be a lot better this year than in previous years - in fact the service was really good - served straight away and you didn't have to go hunting for them to get the bill or another drink, which we had to last year. We don't have much for lunch (not big eaters) we just have a selection of mezes and their lovely warm bread. (last year the bread was a bit iffy - sometimes nice warm special bread but other times just normal bread). Will be back in September so hopefully it will be just as good.

Funny you should say that. I was thinking of starting a thread entitled " How to become invisible in Calis" - all it entails is being a man in a bar with only male waiters when there is one or more pretty girl in the bar.
-
I was thinking of starting a topic called "Enjoy a comfy seat, great view and a drink for 50p an hour" -
1. Go to Bogazigi
2. Time to get waiter attention to order a drink = 15 minutes
3. Time for drink to actually arrive = 15 minutes
4. Time to drink it = 15 minutes
5. Time to get waiter attention to ask for bill = 15 minute
6. Time for bill to actually arrive = 15 minutes
7. Time taken for waiter to take bill with liras within = 15 minutes
8. Time for bill and change to come back = 15 minutes
9. Leave
Spend: £1 Time taken: 2 hours
And YES, it was that bad.
-
I beleive you. It has happened to us!!
-
I have never had a problem in either of the places but perhaps that is because of my friends, who fulfill the criteria for not being invisible.
-
We used to go to the Bogazici a great number of times before the staff departed next door to the Yakamoz. Now both restaurants seem to suffer the same slow service. Neither of these retaurants seem to have any consistency.
-
Don't think pretty comes into it with Turkish males any woman will do, went to boycigis whatever its called 3 weeks ago food disgusting all had to be sent back 4 T bone steaks one fish dish which wasn't what we ordered they did change them never again,are there no proper restaurants in fethiye or calis i ,know red island sounds more like it, but are the proper restaurants all in the good hotels ,like yacht hotel in the harbour so i have heard ,what i mean by a proper restaurant is 20 /30 dishes not like some of these they must have 100/150 dishes ,a place one goes for very good food and forgets the price of efes . ;)
