we were in the Kirmin on the evening of the last england match till around 2 am we had between the 2 of us.
5 bottles effes.
2 glasses wine,
1 vodka [ local ] & draft lemonade.
2 martinis [ local ] & draft lemonade.
1 toasted cheese & tomato roll..
This should have been around 90 - 110 LIRA UZZY gave me a bill for 185 LIRA Whats this i said !! he rattled off its correct i said no way or something more polite >:( he then said he would look again and came back with a new bill of 95.50 and said it was dark and it was a mistake , we never returned again , and found out that several others were trying to be overcharged as well.
beware of this place check your bill with care
-
wheres the Kirmin???
-
Might be Kerim by the water taxis perhaps?
-
thanks for letting us know will give this a miss this year
-
Yes its the one by the water taxi, Uzzy who runs it was the one who charged 1 lira to use the loo at his last place up the far end of the prom last year
-
Wouldn't have thought it should be anymore than 75TL anyway!!!
-
We've been going in this place for years, sometimes for meals, sometimes for just drinks and we've never been overcharged. Over the last few weeks we've been in there for some of the Euro 2012 matches and a couple of times when I asked for the bill they asked me what I had. Not exactly the behaviour of a rip off joint.

Good for you Martin,we all like to defend places we like ,but if Ron says he was ripped off believe it ,he was ripped off.
-
martin2052 with respect you may have been going to this place for years, But Uzzy has only just taken over this place since may this year, i can assure you he did try to rip me off,
-
Anyone else think they been ripped off? Not going to stop going there on one post alone so if we can get some more views it would be helpful.
-
Is Uzzy still there?
We left Calis on 28 June and I noticed that for a few days prior to this he was missing from the front afternoons and evenings.

Im very suprised to read about being over charged at kirim i go in there alot and have know george for years i have never had a problem and in june my son lost some money in the resturant area and the staff all had a look round but to no avail.Two days later i went back in,in the evening and i was handed all my sons money back which was found intact in the gents toilets.I gave george a good tip and thanked him for his honnesty.How ever,i cant comment on the owner as i dont know him to well.Sometimes people do make genuine mistakes.On the other hand sadly you can get riped off and i had that in the fish market this year,but as i was with my turkish friend it got sorted quickly.Once bitten twice shy always check your bill.

I guess everyone should always check their bill wherever you eat and drink. Mistakes can happen and of course scams can as well.
We have just come back from the Algarve and quite a few restuarants try it on with their coverts. They put them on the table and charge you if you eat them or not.
Some of them also put a lump of cheese with it and charge you about £2.50 for it. We now tell them we don't want the cheese and make them take it back - but you still have to check they haven't added it. One tried it on with us and he got told where to stick it ;)
Needless to say if they try it on once we don't leave a tip and don't go back.
-
>:( That really annoys me - plopping nibbles down without being asked and then charging for them. Bloomin' cheek!!
-
Then there is the plus side.
I went out with 4 friends the other evening to the Blue Butterfly in Kayakoy and we all chipped in what we thought we had eaten and we had too much money in the kitty!
Looking closer at the bill they had missed off one of the main courses and of course not added it in the bill.
Needless to say we pointed this out and left a small tip and they were delighted
-
That was very good of you Tigyak - I can add to this topic with confidence that under and over charging (by mistake) can and does happen in the best of places and it is always nice when it is pointed out - either way ;)
