Chicken in honey sauce in the Brothers Restaurant - gorgeous.

Such nice people and a very nice front man now.

I sadly miss the Rosemary.

After a year trying the lokanta approach they changed to a restaurant menu and it was consistently great grub. Every dish on the menu was superb.

Bekir and the chef originally had the Orient in its glory days. I loved the food at the Orient, but the smaller menu at the Rosemary was even better and hasn't been equalled in Çalış since.

I only ever had one meal at the Teras, just before it disappeared, but remember coming out saying that it was the best steak meal I had ever had in Çalış.

There have been many restaurants over the past 20 years the we have enjoyed meals at but for consistency in turning out enjoyable meals for us it had to be Bella Mama,.  Calis Beach Indian and Obens also rank highly with us.

Another sadly missed restaurant for me was Susuz, next door to a once renowned estate agency on the Dolphin roundabout. No menu as such, lokanta style range of options behind the glass, none of which you knew. Yet every time you chose just right  :)

I think Orient Express was our favourite.  It was our first ever meal in Calis with Cenk and Olga - far too many years ago.

In Turkey:
Meeting Point for Ahmets amazing Fillet Steak.
Mozaic Bahce when owned by Nicola & Dogan for the Mixed Grill.
Yoruk Museum for Kahvalti (before we learned of the Donkey cruelty I add).
Little cafe in the Sunday market for Village Bread (as introduced to me by Chris & Anna Ward).
Frank Cannons for the traditional arrival Tavuk Doner Yarim Ekmek!

In UK:
http://www.veeraswamy.com/ - the finest Indian restaurant in London town, outstanding in every way.

Elsewhere:
A little roadside shack on the coastal strip nr Montego Bay in Jamaica, fresh fish straight from the sea onto the wood fired grill served with rice & peas, breadfruit & fried plantain washed down with a couple of ice cold Red Stripes, simple & cheap yet amazing in its own way.....or a similar meal at https://www.gettingstamped.com/floyds-pelican-bar-jamaica/ which is a "shack" appx 1 mile off shore built on a sand bank, another place that's totally unique.

Couldn't agree more - a must do meal and venue. Went once after they sold it and have never returned :(
