It was difficult to choose between the largely identical seeming restaurants in Oludeniz all scattered along Carsi caddesi. They do seem to have identical menus serving Turkish mixed with UK-aimed spaghetti and chidren's fare. Sultan Ahmet had good TA ratings and the smell and view of the grill did work for me.
A very impressive large warm sesame bread arrived with some butter. It was a nice entry to the meal whilst waiting for the mains to arrive.
- Grilled trout 27TL - this was simply grilled with no seasoning. The lemon juice was needed to balance out the grill. The flesh was reasonable well cooked;
- Mixed grill 65TL - the piece-de-resistance arrived and it didn't disappoint. The kebab of mixed chicken and lamb was outstanding with flavours and tenderness beyond. Each of the lamb shish kebab, lamb chop and patty all had excellent flavour also. The chicken drumstick was reasonable but paled compared to the kebab chicken. Lastly the two lamb pieces at the front (perhaps the meat from lamb cutlets) was overcooked. Next time I'd ask for some sauce or mustard but even without it was great.
The service was disappointing in the end. It seemed that there were quite a few regular guests, both English and Turkish who garnered attention and discounts. It was therefore near impossible to get attention toward the end without wanting to specifically generate attention. They also had a sign advertising 10% off for the end of season, but they didn't apply it and I forgot to mention it at the end.
Both left a slightly more bitter taste, but the flavours of the grill have to outweigh that when I think about it.
