The roaring fire in the restaurant actually endeared us toward the place. It was a cool October evening after the rains had passed in the recent couple of days. However sitting near the fire turned out to be a poor choice as the smoke intermittently got in the way. People also occasionally throw in the odd piece of paper which certainly doesn't help the smoke aspect at all.
Luckily the food is pretty good.
- Lentil soup 8TL - hearty soup with the lemon lifting it out of the realms of normality;
- Trout 18TL - nicely charred, not the most succulent but it's ok;
- Shrimps casserole 25TL - not as exciting as the remarkable version at Inci (http://eatlikeushi.posthaven.com/inci-restaurant-oludeniz-10-2017) but still a flavoursome dish;
- Kunufe - this lovely dessert of kataifi and stringy cheese soaked in syrup is a warm chewy and crispy way to end any good meal.
I actually wanted to go to Limon, but it didn't have a fireplace so I was overruled. The menus are generally similar so I'd give that one a try next time just to see what the difference is. Otherwise the meal at Cirali was certainly satisfactory.
