Calis Lokanta gone

[Scunner]

Yes I agree it is a shame to see it go - the 'clever' ones amongst us complained for years about another "Rice Chips & Salad" restaurant opening, or another Italian, Chinese etc. It was quite obvious that what was lacking was a traditional Turkish Lokanta in the heart of the resort - why copy someone else's menu when a lokanta would make a bomb in Calis centre.

I was one of those clever ones. So I'm doubly sad to see it go, and in doing so prove us all wrong.

This is def. NOT a chips rice and salad place.
Had two very nice meals there........ stroganoff serviced with matchstick potatoes, plain fillet steak served on a potato cake .......
The menu is not a photo copy of the standard Calls Menu ......

Bekir is hoping to return to the Old Orient Express site and has retained his chef from there.

Thoroughly recommended.

It seems that Calis does not want traditonal Turkish food.   I think we only have to look at the Restaurants section of this Forum.  There we see questions like " Where do we get the best steak?"  or when a Restaurant is reviewed and recommended we see "Had a wonderful fillet steak" 
Now a restaurant that only did steak would take off like a rocket in Calis.

I think that there is room in Calis for this type of place,you only need to look at Seckin in Gunlukbasi for how good it can get.However this place was not a patch,maybe people spoke with their feet we did

We always thoroughly enjoyed our meals at the Sini lokanta, but, as with other lokantas, it does depend on what food is left when you get in there. Guess we were just lucky and got the meals we wanted and enjoyed.  We agree there is a need for a  lokanta in Calis, and it is a shame that the Sini has gone.

Was it generally busy? It is such a shame - mind you Frank Cannons is off the "RCS" menu in the cheaper direction and you can struggle to get a table in there sometimes.

Never seen it full Scunner,they burned the pied when we wear there but still served it!Frank Canons I would recommend to anyone,food ,service and prices always great

Chatted to the owner today, he said the British people just weren't interested.
Their new menu is huge, Gordon Ramsay would have a field day cutting it down.
Good luck to them, nice hardworking people.

Not only Brits who holiday in the area.
