Went to the Mandalin Bistro Restaurant which is inside the Akkent Garden hotel, former Boston Hotel, for lunch today. They have refurbished it and it looks beautiful. There's a very good choice of food on the menu, we opted for the Swiss burger, which is served with a side salad and chips.  The burger and chips were home made. The plate was hot for the chips and burger and  left. cold for the salad. In hubby's and my opinion, it must be the best burger and chips we have tasted in this area. We are planning to go for an evening meal there.  They also have a Christmas and New year menu which looks very nice. I believe the Manager will be adding the menu on CBF.

Tonight we went with friends to the Mandalin and have to say that it was really good. The menu is not extensive (I like that) but a real nice mixture of Turkish and European dishes. For instance, the restaurant manager explained that at this point they only list three fish dishes on the menu because they offer fresh fish as with the other choices.

We were served an appetizer with compliments of the chef which consisted of mini lavash bread, a pepper and garlic butter and a special minced meze which was a revelation.

The starters we had were really good but beware if you are not a big eater, they are big, the sesame chicken and the chicken quesillda are like main meals, the shrimp cocktail and smoked salmon starter were also delicious. We couldn't fault our starters.

Our mains were also delicious, they are not over priced by any standard yet the quality was in my opinion, top notch.

Hope they make a success here, restaurant manager Yusuf is a great host, the venue and furnishing is outstandingly good, well done Mandalin, we will definitely be back.
