We have had several meals here and today we had the curry special it was excellent. I can Highly recommend it here.:D
Lovely place and lovely staff.
-
Is that Tuna's new place Anne?
-
Yep it is
-
I've heard very good things, looking forward to trying it.
-
xcuse my ignorance, but where is it? :-\
-
its next door to Cafe Pazar, we went there for the darts last week and were very pleasantly surprised by the place, will try it soon for a curry.
-
Is that why there are fish dishes on offer as the owner is called Tuna?:DWhat type of curries do they do are they like an Indian, I thought on first reading the post it was called the Balti cafe!would love to find a good Indian curry in Calis.
-
Yes they specialise in indian food
-
I was there too for the darts match last week and the staff were lovely.Very welcoming and so happy............even when they were being beaten at darts.Mind you they were even happier when they beat us at pool!
-
Beklan is a great young lad. He was a real asset to the bar on Violet when we had it.
-
8 of us tried the curry yesterday it is excellent.!!!Yes it is Tuna Keith. lovely garden area out the back and to the side. They dont just have Indian food. They have fish and chips, Steaks traditional Turkish etc. etc. The starters are superb. Good portions and very good prices. :D
-
friends went last week not very good, belly dancer cancelled hardly anybody there?
-
Guess it'll take awhile - thry have been open since last year and have stayed open all winter. Always feel welcome and they have a pool table.
-
You can't blame them for a belly dancer cancelling!
I'd call that a result anyway, I'm entirely sick of the sight of belly dancers :D
-
well scunner they must be like you,seen them all in turkey,and never turned up,[LOL]
-
I suppose there are only so many customers to go around. If I am correct there are now 4 restaurants and an Hotel within a few hundred yards near the Calis market site. It seems everyone wants to open a restaurant/bar in Calis and new ones spring up all the time. I also agree about the belly dancers, if we find out one is on in a restaurant we are going to visit we change our plans immediately.
-
Think we will be giving this place a try when we over in the Summer always looking for new places away from the seafront.
-
Went there two weeks ago steak night very good fried ice cream glass wine 15 lr will go again . ;)

Glad to see Tuna's doing OK coz since they closed our bar at Violet, Bati Cafe has been my "local" :D Tuna opened it after our bar was shut but we still hope to get ours back.
-
pigs might fly Ken
-
Yeh they might Anne, but I'd like to see our bar open again with or without Tuna ;)
-
I few of us had a curry last night at Bati the starters were very good, as was the curry, it tasted like authentic Indian curry, well worth a visit.

-
My own personal experiences here have been all good - food excellent, staff very friendly, atmosphere great ..... been several times now :)
-
Just back from The Bati Cafe, first time eating there, we both had curries and both were excellent, best curry I have had since I have been here.
Going back on Thursday for Fish Night:PSoup or Prawn Cocktail followed by Sea Bream and a glass of White Wine 12.5 Lira :o
Get in there! :D
-
Have to give this place a try after all the recommendations, hope it stays the same during the holiday period.
I love Sea Bream that sounds really cheap.

We went to Bati cafe a couple of evenings ago with friends and had a lovely evening. We weren't rushed to sit at the table nor for our orders once we had sat down. I think the majority of us had Indian and although it is not authentic it is very tasty and plenty of it, we will certainly go back to try some other dishes on the menu. The staff were very friendly and proficient, they helped us all have a lovely evening. I wish them good luck for this coming Summer season.
-
Thank You for Your kind wishes karabag and I need to say 'don't forget ,We have the fifth special foodnight this thursday .MEATBALLS NIGHT ,with four different kind of meatballs ,salad ,a glass of beer + dessert '.
All wellcome .
-
I went to this night 14.4.with my turkish friend both had meatballs not four different kinds,1 beer 1 raki NO bread on table or dessert cost us 60 YTL not what i would call a special night won't go again.
-
yes i no a few people that did not enjoy that turkish night and said they woud'nt go again,
but said the steak night was very good,
-
Why didnt you ask for the des :)ert that was advertised? i would have done. I would also have asked for bread. I agree that you should not have had to ask but as they advertised it.....
-
I read the post on 2.4 just said meatball night was looking forward to it as we were staying close by and the reviews had been good.Came out to Calis 7.4 so did not know what the special menu was as I do not bring my laptop with me.I asked the waiter who said it was on that night so should have been served everything, bread and salad are normally pretty standard these days.
-
My appologise ,We may be totally failed ,with the foods and service .
But ,You should ask for more bread ,like asking an extra cheese plate
or raki .
You may also ask for the dessert ,while others have .
That is not an excuse ,but customers help Us to make the corrections or higher up the conditions with their compliments and complains .
Anytime ,You like ,please be Our guest again and have Our special deepfried ice cream for free .
-
When we first came here salad was pretty standard and also the lovely Turkish flat bread. However the bread seems to have been replaced by some sliced toast or puffy bread and salad is now generally charged for. The exception being the lokantas where the bread and salad is still free. I dont know what went wrong on the night but we have never before had complaints and their garden is a lovely place to sit during the day.
-
It's getting better but I feel that some staff simply don't get Brits - a Turk wouldn't sit with no bread for long, he's let the waiter know it was missing within seconds ;)
-
My wife and I just visited Bati and could not fault it,My wife had the special which was a massive T bone with extra steak on top c/w rice, chips,salad and 3 veg with stuffed mushrooms starter and a glass of wine,my chosen meal was a chicken masala with rice and all for 40tl.....execllent value and good food,keep up the good work.

After recommendation on here we visited the Balti last month. There was only one other couple in the place, even so the service was very slow and we waited ages for someone to come to the table. A guy in an outside jacket, who we did not know was a waiter. He took our food order and we asked for drinks. We again sat for a long time and eventually caught someone's eye and asked for the drinks again. My glass of wine was like vinegar. The food came and was lovely. A really nice meal, could not fault it. When we finished the meal the place was empty and we waited for someone to come out, again no one did, so we decided to cut our losses have no dessert or coffee, my husband went inside and asked for the bill.
I think perhaps this place is good for the boys to playing pool etc., but we decided we would not go back for a meal, there was no "restaurant" feeling. No one chatted to us and we felt, quite frankly, that we were an inconvenience.
-
Dear Mrs.Harvey ,
My appolgise ,We try to give a good service in a nice ,relaxing atmosphere and leave people with their foods ,instead of standing by their table and talk .
never push people in a hurry to get the orders .
Also I need to say ''BATI CAFE '' is a bar ,serving a selection of Ala carte and Indian Cuisine ,with very reasonable prices .
We are serving three different selections of wine companies .
And ,I must say ,house wine or glass of wine is the cheapest wine in every companys wine list ,though We are selling Kavaklidere ,Doluca or Sevilen .These bottles have metalscrew cap .I do not mean everyone of them ,but sometimes ,that effects the wine .
If You would tell the waiter to change the glass ,I guarantee You ,he did change it with pleasure .
If You come again and try Us once more ,I hope You will change Your mind .It will be a pleasure to see You and Your husband here again and I will open a well conditioned selection old wine to wellcome You .
-
all the prizes are for couples of course .
what kind of a man wants to go a two days trip just his/her own .associal .

Yes, but can Tinks borrow one :)

its not screwcaps on wine bottles that turn wine but how long ago the bottle was first opened, better to buy a bottle and have it opened at the table,if for some reason you dont finish it(i realise thats possible) you can always take it with you,it would be better for those that only wanted one glass, sometimes a free one! if the bar/cafe owners used wine from boxes as no air gets in when its poured,by the way does anyone know the best price for a bottle of yakut.

When it's just me drinking the wine and we go out most nights for 3 weeks I would have a large collection of nearly full wine bottles. I did ask for a glass of red wine and was not asked if I wanted any particular wine. I also asked the waiter to take it away after I had a sip, said I could not drink it and please bring a G.&.T. He did without any comment.

I would have asked for what I wanted [:(!] Or is that too simple [?]

The only reason I mentioned the fact I was not offered a selection is because the owner said the establishment had one. I have always just asked for a glass of red wine in the Fethiye area and in most establishments you will receive a glass of the house wine, as they are not going to open a bottle of other plonk just for you. In the U.K. and when travelling in other countries I am used to asking for a glass of red wine and being offered a choice. It's natural to assume if I am not offered they don't have it.
