Best meat and kebap in Bodrum! İçli köfte is great!!! Sigara böreği is light an puffy! Lamb Tandir is falling off the bone. Definitely get the mini lahmacun and bread, butter, cheese as starter.

Before I went to Bodrum for holidays, I read about this restaurant and it was looking good and boy, I wasnt dissapointed. This might be the best grill house in Bodrum. The pics do justice to the food and the double Adana is simply fantastic. Never had something like is before. Huge portions, fair prices. We went to this restaurant three times. The last time time we ordered the mix lamb platter which was lamb heaven if you love eating lamb meat. Even the most simple dishes like french fries were so yummy and different than other places.

Wandering around the Bodrum waterfront, we decided on Balkan Restaurant because of the nice view…read more(http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/balkan-restaurant-mu%C4%9Fla?select=btbMA9T-I7n53i0e3AZgdw#jjgqmLJpQprMI3rX-6E6tQ) First out was a basket of thick flatbread (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/balkan-restaurant-mu%C4%9Fla?select=btbMA9T-I7n53i0e3AZgdw#REZJulzPHMnWsBOz6wBaYA) Shrimp cocktail didn't offer much for the price with some small shrimp on a cup of iceberg lettuce with a bit of salad dressing (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/balkan-restaurant-mu%C4%9Fla?select=btbMA9T-I7n53i0e3AZgdw#CgfPSdSXjDB9O3-cGBxb_A) Mezze sampler plate was dominated by whole pepper (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/balkan-restaurant-mu%C4%9Fla?select=btbMA9T-I7n53i0e3AZgdw#VoEgHGnmYbcQB17y9XgSLg). The eggplant had a good smokey flavor. The cheese stuffed peppers which were medium spicy (green items in center of picture) were our favorite of the items. We ordered the Çökertme Kebab based on the waiter's recommendation that it was a regional specialty (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/balkan-restaurant-mu%C4%9Fla?select=btbMA9T-I7n53i0e3AZgdw#TvPdS1rIL7OqvSnHDrOo7A). The beef was cooked with a tomato sauce and there were French fries and tomato wedges on top along with matchstick potatoes and yogurt sauce underneath(http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/balkan-restaurant-mu%C4%9Fla?select=btbMA9T-I7n53i0e3AZgdw#AJJBH84jEcWqXZphONjatQ). Tasty yogurt. Mostly tender meat with a few tough pieces. Good flavor overall; I would order this again. Service was lacking with a long wait before they took our order and difficult times trying to get water refills and the check. 3.5 stars for the food. Rounding down for the service.

A terrible experience. The one good thing about this place is that it has a nice view. The…read moreservice was bad and they charged way too much for mediocre food. Its the equivalent of stealing. But worse because they prey on tourists who don't know Turkish food or culture so they leave with negative impressions that aren't true.
