im on the quest to find the best salad in calis, i had my first at mimoza beach club yesterday. it was ton balak or tuna and was nice but a bit small but it was on the starter menu as they didnt have a main salad menu. today i went to mutlu past surf cafe and there chicken ceaser salad was lovely but it wasnt ceaser! it had no ceaser dressing,parmasan.cheese,crutons but the bread and the garlic butter was to die for.i will carry on my quest and keep you posted and if anyone has a good one could you please let me know where. not the bad ones please! im going to try every salad in every restaurant this summer and put it on the forum x

Warm beef salad at the Sat Club! Yum! :D

Tuna Salad at George's is my favourite lunchtime meal. Loaded with Tuna and really well presented.
-
Surf Cafe is really good as well.

The subject of salads in Turkey is an intriguing one. I would say if you can rid your mind of the finely cubed cucumber/tomato/onion style, the amazing traditional "spoon salad" of the likes of Ocakbasi is a saladacious education.
I am also regularly shocked to see how much effort every day gents such as builders and complex workers put into the preparation of meals for all male consumption. Where most of us blokes would cut the tomato in half, slice a cucumber into half inch discs and rip off a few lettuce leaves, Turkish men prepare a perfectly diced fine salad, even when there isn't a woman in sight.
-
I love those fine cut salads
-
I just wish they'd leave the cucumber in big enough pieces to pick out easily [:(!] hate it[:(!]
-
Have to agree with you ken,I hate salads all covered in bloody leaves etc,it looks good but does nothing for you except to help you pass wind! sorry.Plus at the risk of alienating everyone on here I also cannot stand Mezes.A dozen different ways to present yoghurt,with or without soured varieties and other cold bits.Its no wonder all the turkish children here are going to macdonalds etc.

uncle john i know you like your meat but can you still eat a steak in this heat? x

Must admit the sound of a warm beef salad did tickle my taste buds so walked along to Sat Beach Club at lunch time today. The 6TL efes did not phase us... but after 15 minutes without being served that most certainly did even when we got up and walked out still nobody bothered! Complacency is akin to stupidity where business is concerned. Perhaps when all the tourists are gone and they are empty in the winter they might like to ponder that aspect.:(

Sorry to hear about that. Admittedly it's usually May when we go there so probably not as busy as now. However, that's no excuse for bad service and even their warm beef salad wouldn't make up for it.
As I've said on another topic on here, plenty of other good restaurants to eat in where they don't take their customers for granted.

I'm sure the boss wasn't in when that happened. Such 'couldn't care less' attitudes are common, I've witnessed many. There is no way that you could be sitting in a restaurant for 15 minutes and leave unnoticed by the entire staff. In this way, workers make life so difficult for owners - if they aren't there watching 24/7, the slack attitude comes.
The way to avoid that is to pay staff based on takings (i.e. commission based on total sales) - and if that sounds good, my experience is that such systems are the ones that lead in many cases to very dubious bills.
So can you suggest a better way? :-\

best salad is one made at home washed with bottled water

well i came off the salad trail for a day on sunday and went to cafe soul for lunch. i asked them if the cheese burger on the picture was what i would be getting they said yes when i got it it looked like a piece of underlay and my friends cheese and turkish sausage toast had pubic hair in it which ade us both gag. they were also very rude to us when we complained and 5lira for a bottle of water! serkan the manager was not there because if he had been it would all have been sorted out
-
How did you know it was pubic hair and did you have to pay extra lol !
-
It was still on the underpants
-
come on you can tell with the tight curls unless shirley temple was in the kitchen!

it's not in Calis but try Enginar (paspatur) for a salad. I sat there today and a couple of young ladies ordered salad and it came out in 2 big bowls -it looked lovely.
