My husband and I went to Merhaba for our 5th wedding anniversary dinner. I am quite well…read moreacquainted with Turkish cuisine or I would not have wanted to go to Merhaba. The first experience was fine. I ordered Tavuk Sis, which consisted of marinated cubes of chicken. That was good. The second experience was my anniversary dinner and I ordered the starters baba ghanoush and dolma. Both were great, they came with freshly baked bread. I also ordered a house red wine that I could tell was watered down, so be cautious when ordering as they may water it down. For my entree I ordered the Iskender Kebap and it states it is, grilled lamb or chicken on a base of bread topped with tomato sauce. What I got was lamb doner meat that smelled bad, on a bed of bread that seemed liked it was in the microwave for too long, even sitting in the tomato sauce it should have softened up some but hadn't. This is not was an Iskender Kebap is and for £11.50 (one of the most expensive entrees on the menu), this was total crap. The waiter asked how we were doing, I barely took two bites and already pushed it aside and said, I am not happy with this, where are cubes of grilled lamb? The waiter argued with me and said, "this is how they do Iskender in Turkey". Pretty ironic how I have been eating Turkish food in Newmarket at Turquez and always order the Iskender and I get cubes of lamb, I have also eaten Turkish cuisine all over the United States (which I have also Yelped) and always order the Iskender as it is my favorite dish for crying out loud, and it has never been prepared with hard to eat bread, some tomato sauce and stinky slices of doner meat on top. This is not what I ordered. Instead, of him offering to take it back and make me a happy customer, he proceeded to argue with me. We won't be going here again, I will be speaking to management today to share with them about my experience. After speaking with management they apologized and have offered to make the Iskender Kebap the way I had hoped for it to be made, but they are now serving it with doner meat, but it does not state that on their online menu on their Facebook page and I did not notice that it said that in the description of their menu that they would be serving doner meat,or I would have not ordered it.

Mmmmm nom nom nom nom nom is how I like to describe my experience at Dalyan. Dalyan was formerly…read moreknown as Turkuaz, but it recently changed new owners. The quality and delivery of Turkish cuisine is consistently the same. I really like to go on Sunday lunch because you can get a three course meal for two for only £19. Please see the pictures I took and added to see what you can get in the deal. We got a delicious cold mezze appetizer with fresh baked bread. It was to die for. Followed with a mixed meat selection with pilaf rice and a yogurt and spicy dipping sauces. It was probably the best meal I've had at Dalyan/Turkuaz. My favorite so far. It came with fresh salad, tomatoes, pickled cabbage and carrots. For desert we were served fresh fruit, an assortment of honey dew melon, oranges, and kiwi and two baklavas. It was delicious. I was struggling to finish all three courses, but thoroughly enjoyed myself. The waiter is awesome because he helped us chose our lunch and helped us get the most for our money and he suggested the special because it came with the most food and on top of that it was delicious! I can't wait to go to Dalyan again. I highly suggest it!

We ordered some yogurt, cucumber, olive oil dip with some pita bread. It was fresh and flavorful. The deep fried goat cheese filled pastries were also really good but the entrée is why I decided to stir away from my pub reviews and write about this place. I had a Shisslak kebab. Pieces of grilled lamb topped with mushrooms, onions and bell peppers. he lamb was so fresh and juicy and cooked perfectly. was a little sad when it was done. The portion, with rice, was way generous for a reasonable price (in New York standards). They carried some Turkish lager as well. The only down side was the dessert menu that could have been a little bit more original. I definitely recommend it!

Always delivers a great atmosphere as it's quite popular amongst locals even midweek. It's somewhere you could go for a laid back meal or that of a celebration as it caters for everyone. As you are seated the waiters bring you complimentary bread and salads whilst you peruse your options on the menu. The menu is quite extensive but the general gist is chicken or lamb with rice and salad. I tend to go for the spicy minced lamb and cubes of lamb or the stuffed peppers which are cooked perfectly and full of flavour. A main dish will set you back around £11-£12 but they do an offer on Sunday-Tuesday whereby you can get 2 courses for £12.99 which is well worth the money! Overall I cannot fault it which is why I am a regular customer and will continue to be so!! Highly recommend to anyone in the area.
