I need more stars to rate it fairly. It was a treat for my birthday as I spend more than half my time in Fethiye, Turkey. We all chose Turkish dishes and these were exceptionally good and had all the flavours of Turkey, even my 3 year old granddaughter loved the Turkish meatballs. This must be the best Turkish Restaurant outside Turkey and better than a lot in Turkey. I can't recommend highly enough.7/5 s

We've eaten here quite a few times at lunchtime. The restaurant is lovely inside, it has a Mediterranean, holiday feel. The food is tasty and reasonably priced. The staff are friendly and attentive. The menu could do with expansion on vegetarian choices. I would definately eat here again.
