We have now had two meals at Bella mama, both excellent and just as good as always.  Service also very good, friendly and efficient, and price wise good value.  Will be back many times more as this remains our favourite restaurant in calis.

Not one of my favourites I have to say, I find the seating uncomfortable, and the service although efficient, by Turkish standards very impersonal and food only average, plenty of other place to chose from for my preference.

Bella Mama's was once THE place to eat,  however, now, for us,  it is O.K but nothing special.

It fell off our list for years and for no reason really. We only tried it because we were staying at the Delta and I have to say it was superb. The Swedish steak is on my must have meals list now   :)

It is quite stiff and standoffish but I believe that was by design - we love the Calis banter but find this a welcome change too.

I agree Keith, not everybody wants the 'banter', and I think Sue and Zihni purposely made it this way. Provençal steak is very good too!

I am glad I am not the only one who finds the seating uncomfortable, chairs slope backwards.  I like to sit up straight when I am eating.  For that reason alone, I never go there.

Tried this for the 2nd evening of my holiday; much more of a 'dining experience' than the Summer Breeze managed.
Very pleasant food, and such a plateful of Mexican chicken that I was defeated...and that doesn't happen often.
Thought the staff were, as indeed they should be at a decent place, attentive to ALL the guests. Does, I fear, occasionally happen that a solo diner is treated as rather a 3rd class citizen. In no sense was that the case here, and I shall certainly go back.
