Can you recommend somewhere to eat in Calis or Fethiye where they serve TURKISH food, not Chinese, Indian, Italian etc! We stayed in Olu a few years ago & apart from the fish the food was really disappointing - a European mishmash.
Many thanks!
-
Pasha Kebab in Fethiye on the one way system ,good Turkish food and good service at reasonable prices
-
Mozaic Bahce, again in Fethiye.
-
I second Pasha, mmm
-
I second both Pasha and Moziac Bahce. Been to both many times.
-
Most of the Restaurants in Calis will serve Turkish food and have it on the menus. If you want a small place in Calis the Amber Pide has a Pide Oven. Also the Roka Restaurant serve up good Turkish Food.
-
Virtually every restaurant in Calis serves Turkish food.Most have a Turkish and European menu.Quality varies of course, and not everything listed is always available.
i wont recomend a restaurant in particular. Just walk along the front , look at the menus, talk to the barkers (Nice chaps in the main)

I 3rd (?) Mozaic, genuine Hatay cuisine.

Plonker:D: :) ;)

Ha ha ha!!!.

I think you'll struggle for truly authentic food in Calis, sadly. Not much more than a doner anyway ;) Fethiye is the place to go, or even up to Gunlukbasi for one of the cheap and filling Lokanta restaurants.
-
Mosaic every time....food amazing....and fhe company of lovely Nichola and Doganxx
-
I 2nd lokantas, brilliant at 3am ish for a fill up on the way home!
Also on the road out of town (antalya road) near to the wood place, a small turkish run kebab place open all hours think its called 49 shampion or something. Serves the best kokorec going, chopped and blitzed sheeps stomach with salad in half a bread - really tasty! Sit down menu or take away.
-
Jimmy`s soup kitchen in Calis is authentic! :)
-
How do we define "Authentic". We are in Turkey, we go into a restaurant owned by Turkish people, we order from the Turkish menu if we get a Turkish meal with rice and chips does this make the main meal any less authentic? The Brits ask for Full English Breakfasts, Sunday Roasts and Steak with Chips so the Turks are only too glad to provide it, so, it's our faults that there are less purely Turkish Restaurants. However, when we get a really excellent Turkish Restaurant like the Mosaic Bahce which ticks every box, we all love it and rightly so. It goes to No.1 on Trip Advisor, so what do we really want on our holidays in Turkey?
-
I agree with jackie unusually
Food in Calis is generally Turkish-Ok, so no sheeps stomach-But I ask you, who would eat that. You will tell me tripe is authentic English next.
There is a whole cacophanie of turkish dishes available on the prom. Turkish ingrediants cooked by turkish chefs.
-
So if I make a pide here in the UK, I have made a British dish cooked by a British person using British ingredients? Sorry but there's a lot more to "authentic" local dishes than where the ingredients are from and where the chef was born!!! The 'perfect' seafront menu is seen by most restaurateurs as "what next door has". Over the years the very idea to drop chicken kiev lasts until they see someone dining next door eating one and the following night it is reinstated. The decision to drop it cost them dearly the night before. The place is overloaded with grey, poorly researched and badly produced versions of dozens and dozens of dishes that have no connection to Turkey. Cr*ppy Mexican, awful Indian, tv dinner quality Chinese - why even offer things if you can't do them 100% authentically? How many offer even pide, let alone Iskender kebap and the other traditional favourites?
I'm not saying there is no place for non-Turkish food, of course there is - but every restaurant offering the very same list of it is rather sad.
-
Its so true, how many times have we said in the past how ever many years, if they see something working at another restaurant they take the idea...if you can call it that!, they cant bear to miss out hence the reason that they all serve...chicken, steak etc with Rice Chips and salad.....
I adore the traditional Lokanta's they are brill, and because Mosaic serves such lovely different really tasty food is why we like it so much and want to keep going back.

It's such a shame that the Restauranteurs in Calis dont realise if they opened up a purley Authentic Turish Restaurant it would be so popular. However, they seem to think that every British person wants British Food. I was reading Trip Advisor recently and there was a very unflattering piece about Calis and in particular about the food. The person saying it could be any seaside resort in England with fry ups and fish and chips... here it is
http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g298031-d949259-r114810933-Calis_Beach-Fethiye_Mugla_Province_Turkish_Aegean_Coast.html#CHECK_RATES_CONT
We all love the Mozaik in Fethiye, but when I read a report about a restaurant on this Forum in Calis 9 times out of ten it recommends the steak. I am sure the restaurant owners in Calis must read these reports too.
-
Ermmm, My directions to Jimmy's would be awful.... Any residents or anyone with more sense of direction (Says the bloke doing the London Black cab knowledge!) be able to help?

Yes but the same person also claims "Beach sellers, tour reps and waiter hassle you constantly." - something I would be interested to hear from members here about, as I do not notice that. I know most of the sellers and restaurant front guys so maybe they don't hassle me - but I don't ever see anyone else getting hassled either. In Spain recently they didn't have anyone "front of house" - you go in or you don't, nobody is bothered but one thing we don't suffer with in Calis is a constant flow of African folk - sunglasses man, bracelets woman, dvd man, wooden mask man, handbags man, carved crappy giraffe man, rings woman, crazy oversize sunglasses man, blue flying light thing man - and that is straight to your table as you are eating, all those guys within half an hour in some restaurants - and they don't hear the first few "no thanks" either (and occasionally I heard them getting just a little aggressive when people on other tables bothered to show a little interest but didn't buy anything and were "wasting my time"...)
I think Calis has it about right 8)
I read the Tripadvisor link as a review from someone who was expecting Park Lane on an Old Kent Road budget :D

I realise that the location was a factor, but Sardunya didn't stay open.
I am also not sure about the percentage of British tourists who would choose a restaurant only offering Turkish cuisine.
Finally, I think Mozaik is a special case.
-
I honestly think Sardunya stayed open in that location as long as it did because it offered a good traditional menu - a "me too" menu restaurant wouldn't have lasted a month...
-
I miss Sardunya. The food was authentic and the staff were great. Haven't (and probably wont) try kokarec yet. Don't think my stomach would cope with, knowing what's in it.
:D

Opposite the health Clinic Just before Sok, lovely lokanta type food Pricey compared to Fethiye Lokantas though
-
Sampiyon Kokorec in Fethiye, opposite Bogazici, its part of a large chain of food shops now come to Fethiye. They do Kofte, Chicken and Mussels as well as Kokorec, Lovely place
We tried Moussaka Restaurant in Calis last week for the 1st time They have the usual all Written in English Menu with one page near the back in Turkish
English Section Mixed Grill 24tl Turk Page Karisik Et 22 tl They are the same thing! Karisik Et Mixed Meat
-
Still not sure where Jimmy's soup kitchen is. Can anyone help?

John, I cannot see why the Mozaik would be a special case. If it was in Calis and not 5 miles down the road, what would be the difference?
I think that a restaurant like the Mozaik would do so well along the seafront. Authentic Turkish food in a restaurant in Calis with no chips, steaks or fry ups would be a really good crowd puller as it would be diffent from all the other places.
Just look at the recent review for the Best Restaurant in Calis on this Forum at the moment(an Italian)and the recommendation as usual for steak.
Just how great would it be to see a recommendation for a Turkish food restaurant and a Turkish dish being recommended?
-
Jacqui, with respect
Mozaic is a special case in that just about everything is right with it. The central location (as has been said often, an oasis in the middle of Fethiye), the ambiance create by the layout of the restaurant (the small wooden tables and chairs set sympathetically amongst the trees), the friendliness of the staff and of course the lovely hosts. You certainly could not transport it to the seafront in Calis, it would not be the same place. I hope that Mozaik never moves from it's present location.
I agree that a restaurant in Calis serving authentic Turkish food would be different, but I am not sure that it would be the crowd puller you suggest.
If I may say so, your comment about reviews seems to me to be slightly disingenuous. My favourite restaurant on our last trip was Bella Mamas and I make no apology for saying that that - why should I.
You choose to recommend Turkish food which of course you are right to do. But eating local cuisine is not compulsory when visiting a foreign country and if people want to have, and recommend, steak and chips then that's entirely up to them.
-
With respect as due to all, I think Mozaic Bahce's success is more remarkable given it's location. I think the "Oasis in the middle of Fethiye" quote is originally mine - and it is one of those places that once in, you could be anywhere.
-
I totally agree with All your comments 'H' and yours as well Keith....Oasis in the middle of Fethiye is an extremely good description...the fact as you say of its location and it is quite hidden and difficult to find 'the first time anyway' as it looks as though you should not be walking through there...once been you are smitten though and hardly unlikely to forget where it is :D
-
Totally Agree Keith, The Mozaik is a hard place to find and it is not in the best location, but people seek it out because it has such a good reputation.
I cannot see why people would think it impossible for a good Turkish Restaurant to open in Calis and be successful and no, I don't want the Mosaik to move, but think about it, we all travel to use it. We, personally, always make a point of going into Fethiye to eat there and we always recommend it and take friends and family there. My daughter was over in June and absolutely loved the place, she is a vegetarian, my Son in law and Granddaughter meat eaters and yet they all enjoyed the food. My daughter said it was the best place she had eaten and their favourite she could not understand why Calis didn;t have places like this, incidentally Bella Mamas was always her favourite when she visited in the past.
John, you are totally missing my point. I am not criticising anyones choice of restaurants in Calis, obviously, without some really Authentic Turkish places this narrows the choice of favourite places, so we pick what we can from what is available. How different it would be if we did have some places like the Bahce in Calis, then we would see how many people thought Steak at an Italian would be the best meal they had eaten and there is no disrespect to anyones chosen food implied. I like and eat in lots of restaurants in Calis but would love to have the chance for a greater diversty of food instead of the usual that most of the restaurants serve.

Teresa - Think these directions will get you there (hopefully anyway).
From the prom go over the bridge and straight up the main strip to the traffic lights. Go straight through the lights and it's on the right hand side just a little bit further up the road. Small place but it does have a sign up.
-
Withhout doubt, Moziac Bahce, it is also a great adventure finding the place, just write down the name and show it to anyone in Fethyie, you will be amazed how spot on the directions can be.

To Fiona. Fionab 1961.
To start my suggestion would be the Bogazici on the sea front in Fethiye good location good Turkish food and the Turkish food is not too expensive, just check the drinks prices though. We love the selection of meze they will bring for you to choose,and check out the hot meze list too. Sometimes the meze can be enough in its self. If not choose a couple or more mains, fish, always check the price if you have one by weight, meat or chicken kebab, guvec or the like, depending how many are eating,sharing is good no need to have a dish each. Raki tastes really good with that kind of meal. You did say Turkish!! Agree with calvin1961 for the Pasa, recommend the Iskender kebab, also agree with Diverbaz1 for the Mosaic Bache for a taste of Easten Turkey. Plus the Lokanta's especially the ones busy with Turkish people. We found this site very informative.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_cuisine. better still eat out with a Turk.
-
Turkish food does feature on most menus on the calis front.Cooked by Turkish chefs. Must be authentic ? The only bad meals we had were in an Italian and steak & chips outside Calis
We ate turkish breakfast, Toasted walnuts with yoghurt,kofte, menemen,aubergines,pan fries, stews, fasulia,borek, stuffed vine leaves, grilled bream, stuffed mussels, fried prawns,pide, kebabs and apple turnovers from the beach man,and lots of other stuff.
All these dishes are to be found in my Turkish cook books.
If you dont want token rice,chips or salad, you just have to let them know.
We did try for authentic italian one night-spag bolog. But the sauce was too turkish and the pasta overcooked.This was an "Italian restaurant"
We also tried peppered steak and chips in Uzumlu but were disappointed.
-
Why do you think that food cooked by Turkish chefs must be authentic Turkish food - it's a ridiculous opinion!!!
-
I said turkish food, cooked by turkish chefs. What is not authentic or indeed ridiculous about that.
hugh
-
Well if you think Calis seafront is the place for "authentic" Turkish food (as it is cooked by Turkish chefs so must be), good for you! Just because the nationality of the person cooking something is correct it hardly follows that what they cook is authentic!!!
-
Jacqui - we will have to agree to disagree. Perhaps we will have the opportunity to discuss this further in either Mozaik or Bella Mamas.
(PS I am right of course ;))
-
I can't believe I have never heard of Mosaick Bahce before. Where in Fethiye is it ?
I reckon 3 Cheers in Ovacik is top notch for traditional turkish food but not in a quaint traditional turkish food setting.
-
I cook authentic Thai but I'm not Thai
The main thing in cooking authentic food is using authentic and fresh ingredients
And methods
-
Yes and some people are Turkish and cook total rubbish that is a product of their imagination rather than anything remotely authentic. Thus some are cooking authentic Turkish food and some are authentic Turkish, cooking food.
-
That's about it in a nutshell......ha ha ha...it's like banging your head against a wall isn't it a lot of the time Mr S..... :)
-
Do we not need to be careful when using the term authentic given that the food served in Mozaic is not from the Fethiye region (says he as though he knows what he is talking about :o)
-
Yes, my local Indian isn't cooking traditional Perth authentic curries either. They say the recipes are from India.
-
Alright then H.....fantastic food, cooked really well, tastes amazing, totally different from the norm and a really good price. :D
How about that.....true.... :)
-
(http://www.impawards.com/tv/posters/twilight_zone.jpg)
-
Absolutely June - the only point I was trying to make was that other regions of Turkey will have authentic receipts which may, or may not be a popular as that served by Nicola and Dogan.
Mr H and I fondly remember the lovely Kartal cooking us lamb in a hole in the ground at the back of Cafe Sol because that "was the way it used to be done". He also made us a "traditional/authentic" soup which made our mouths tingle.
Authentic ? - I don't know, but as June pointed out, all that matters was that it was goregeous.
-
Why argue? Cook your own traditional/authentic Turkish food. http://english.turkishcookbook.com/
-
I can't, I'm not Turkish ;)
-
If a yo 8)ung Cumbrian lad can do it so can anyone!! 8)
-
Sorry scunner, I really dont understand your argument.
If a turkish chef, cooks say kofte in Turkey. Thats authentic.
If he cooks it in england, it wont be unless he imports the ingrediants
Simple
Please dont reply as it is not worth further excercising my two fingers over the matter.
hugh
-
Jeez this is hard work. If an Englishman calls himself a chef and cooks a traditional English dish, it may, but may not be 'authentic'. He may have made it up as he went along. Now THAT is what I call simple, please at least try and grasp the concept.
-
suehugh. That would mean very little in Turkey in the Kofte depatment is authentic as a very high percentage of meat is imported 80/90% according to Turkish/gov figures. Maybe if the ingrediants and the cooking method is traditional then maybe it would be authentic anywhere in the world.
-
When did good food become this complicated??
Good food is just what it is, whether in restaurants, pubs, at home/friends etc.
I personally like Indian and Italian and that is what we generally eat out here.
The only times we eat out are when we fancy Turkish food then we tend to go to places not in Calis.
Folk should just eat what they want and if steak is the most recommended dish...well done to that restaurant :)
-
Again I asked my fountain of knowledge bloke here, my partner Yetis :D why no authentic or real Turk food here?
his reply is that Real Turk food has to be eaten quickly and cannot be prepared in advance so its a problem in the heat here. Apparently in Istanbul etc the Turk restaurants only open for a few hours at lunchtime serving Turk dishes but they are so busy they sell out quickly
He says the Lokanta food here is ok But not too good and no choice Same old beans, rice, soup etc
Lambs head, bits and brains are great But they wouldnt sell here
-
oh my god, why do some people just want to argue all the time? im off to have a real authentic turkish boiled egg, turkish water, but i notice the saucepan was made in china,so does that pass as authentic? i wonder. ;) :)

I feel for you Scun, have a valium and a lie down(authentic)of course. ;)

I can also Recommend Mosaic Bahje have been coming to calis since 1986 and this is the best meal I have ever eaten. Authentically Turkish with a hint of what tastes like Morrocan simply fabulous!!!!!

It's interesting to hear what you personally like and you think people should eat what they like, however, if you go to the beginning of the thread you will see this message.

Tell you what folks, nearly all Indian food served in UK Restauarants is not authentic and most of it is crap! Very few real ones outside of Rusholme in Manchester, the famous "curry mile", or Southall near London. You get the odd one, such as a place I know in Glasgow, but most are a mish mash serving anglicised stuff and non-indian at all such as Tikka massala -- nobody in India will ever have heard of it! They are mainly Bangladeshi run and hash slinging rubbish! (I can say that cos my wife is Indian and I know what proper Indian food should tatse like and how it is cooked!)
I guess Turkish food is much the same, if it is cooked right to genuine recipes then it deserves the title, no matter where that may be. If we want to be that pedantic then what is Turkish food? It is derived from the ancient Kingdoms of the Middle Sea and Persian Empire, the taste of all those Counties is in it, from the Persian Rice through Levantine and Arabian breads to the Honey flavoured sweets of the meditterannean and North Africa.
For me, the absolute delight of Turkish Food is just that, it encomp-asses so many of the places I have lived in and loved, it is the Middle Sea on a plate, from Spain round in a Circle to Morroco and reaching out inland as far as Turkmenistan and beyond. Hundreds of years of fklavour and experimentation!
Yes, a foodie, I confess all --
-
Just bugger all to do on a wet Saturday morning in Manchester so fancied a waffle on here :D (waffle -- ha ha --food --oh never mind)
Really enjoyed this subject now I know precisely where Mosaic Bahche is and I am going to go there!
Thanks

Jacqui I don't think I'm the only person who has gone off on a tangent with this thread but hey ho.
To answer your question - as a resident I like eating at home ;) When we go to restaurants, we tend to go to Pasa Kebab, Seckins, Kebab Hospital, Birlik and various little lokantasi's dotted around Fethiye/Gunlukbasi.

Anywhere that does sis kebabs, Guvec,mezes etc. its all Turkish
You will find that places like Pasa Kebab will not be able to serve you anything on the menu which includes Doner meat after it has finished They will only put one Kebab on for the day and once its gone its gone
Contrally to opinion Turk food has to be fresh and not prepared ready to heat up on demand
-
John, out of interest, which Indian restaurant is near authentic in Glasgow?
I've been in loads of them and the best I've ever had is in http://The Dhabba Mouth watering stuff:D
-
OK I'll try asking again ..... where is Mosaic / Mozaic ?
-
Directions to the Mozaik Bahce can be found here slartibarfast
{A Link to an old CBF topic was here - no longer available}41609
-
Behind Domino's Pizza shop! :D
Here you go....
1. head for the front of Carrefour and then walk to the Kayamalik offices. Face as if you were heading to the fish market. Opposite the offices you should see an Intercity Car Hire place and there is an alley there where the hire cars are parked.
Walk through there and you will see the Mozaic Bahce directly in front of you.
2. the easy answer to this question is if you know where the Fethiye Sultan Ahmet restaurant is then it is literally just behind there in a sort of semi residential area with pedestrianised streets.
-
Just been reliably informed carrefore is now Migros and Sultan Ahmet is now Sehzade Bursa Iskander. If you don't know where Migros is its on the Harbour near to where the water Taxi drops you.
-
Thanks folks that's great .... and apologies for my unintentionally grumpy sounding post !
The comments on Mosaic sound too good to be true so we can't wait to try it. We have had a couple of underwhelming meals at Megri Lokanta the last couple of times we were there and friends have said the same so always looking for decent places in Fethiye. I still can't believe we have never even heard of Mosaic when it seems almost to be revered on the CBF !
-
slartibartfast - the comments about Mozaic may sound too good to be true but they're pretty accurate. We only found it earlier this year and were so impressed by the food, the location and the people there that we went back 3 times and will make sure it's one of our first stops next time.
It's well worth following the instructions :) ;)

Well been a few years since I was there so may not be any more!
There was a liitle place in the Theatre district just round the corner from opposite the Holiday Inn. (If holiday in at your right down and 1st left. The food was mainly South Indian and the Kerala Lamb was superb.
It was a bit tatty, and cheap, (a good guide if you are India usually :)), and very busy early and late with Theatre goers.
Actually generally I find the food quality and variety in Scotland and the Northumnbrian borders for value for money much better than here in England, at least in the Restaurants! I remember staying at a little Hotel in a place called Uplawmoor in the East Renfrewshire Hills and complimenting the Chef on the amazing steak and asked where he got it, to which he pointed out the window to a field where bullocks were grazing!
John
