Title: Turkish Restaurant by Dolphin Roundabout
Post by: Karennina on August 22, 2010, 20:36:59 PM
Feel like this place deserves a mention but unfortunately can not remember what it is called!It is opposite the taxi rank and on the same side as the chemist.We had some beers and waters, starters and mezes which were fantastic and two main meals all came to about 50 lira and boy were we full up when we left. They also did weird and wonderful dishes including a sheeps head dish which I could not believe so they insisted on showing me the sheeps head and even let me take it outside so I could show hubby and photograph it although  did hear one worried waiter saying what is she going to do with it and will she bring it back!  Food was plentiful menus have prices on so you know what you will be paying and staff were really fiendly and welcoming even though we were the only British people in there.

Last time we went there we witnessed the little lad behind the bar filling the water bottles from the tap:D

We used to eat there when it was a roadside shack its called Methaps(I think thats the correct spelling)traditional food,cooked well and reasonable prices although they have gone a little down the Turkish Trio route(Salad rice and chips !)

We went to this restaurant twice a couple of years ago.  On both occasions, we had to choose numerous times before they had what we wanted (we ended up with salads - which made it easy for them!!!   :o )

To be honest, we've never been back because of this, despite passing it most days over the last four weeks.  It sounds like it's improved, so we'll try it again in October ....   :)

The chemist next to it was excellent though - helping me out yesterday with a nasty eye infection!  :(

My girlfriend and I went in there last year wanting Turkish food. They showed us a menu with English stuff on and we tried to explain that we wanted Turkish food; we even pointed to the nice Turkish meal that the family was tucking into, but we had no success and left.

We ate here at the end of July and really enjoyed the Turkish food, it was one of the better meals we had in Calis.  The waiters were very friendly and were very keen to show us the food displayed inside and to choose what we wanted.  The night we were there we didn't see another table with English speaking people mostly all locals.
