Always wonderful.
Still our favourite restaurant in Dalyan and had Dinner their on 3 occasions on our latest visit including the traditional first and last nights!
It was great to catch up on Dalyan life with Zafer and Ramazan (and get cuddles of his baby boy) and you always get great attentive service from Cabbar and Murat.
Food is always of a very high quality and this is being enhanced this year by Zafer working in the kitchen, the steaks melt in your mouth, the liver is delicious and the slow cooked lamb just fell off the bone.
It is going to be a long 8 months before we can dine at this restaurant again.

A lovely comfortable restaurant in pole position on the river. No menu you just choose from the mezes on display in the cold cabinet and they are then cooked to order. We shared stuffed peppers,spinach pancakes,frittata and historic mussels done with potatoes in a fragrant slightly curried broth. A memorable meal,we would highly recommend Saki
3. Sinan's Place

We have been visiting Sinan's for many years and are never disappointed.
Whether it's for a couple of drinks on our way home, a delicious meal or an afternoon beer, we always visit at least a couple of times when we are in Dalyan.
The atmosphere is always good and we love the choice of music!
This time, we had breakfast here: my husband and friends loved their full English while i thoroughly enjoyed my Menemen (with just the right amount of spice).
See you again next year!

Went here this week, I was expecting great things but was disappointed with the quality of what was presented. The waiting staff were efficient and attentive. The food was well presented but unfortunately not great quality in comparison with other restaurants around Dalyan.

Green Cottage Steak House
Reviewed By Lisa A - St. Albans, United Kingdom
We had read about Green Cottage on trip advisor so wanted to try it out. We were really pleased that we did. We had mixed meze starters which were all home made and delicious. We had read about the various 'plank' option so wanted to try them. I had fish plank (swordfish, prawns in a yummy sauce) which was served with mash, but not just your usual mash. It was piped around the edge of the dish and grilled. So nice. My husband had steak plank which was served with the same sauce and mash. He was delighted as the steak was cooked as he had requested medium rare. In other Dalyan restaurants steak usually comes out well done however you ask for it cooked.... We thought it was fantastic value for money and the service was great too. We would definitely go back again and would also recommend it to others.

Last night five of us ate here on the basis of trip advisor and loved it. Kids had pizzas v cheesy and filling - but our fried aubergine with garlic, calamari and haloumi starters, followed by the aubergine kebab (a mince stuffed whole aubergine) and Celtic kebab were just the best things I've had all holiday. Really attentive and friendly service . My only quibble was a mojito the family called a no-jito - but you don't come to a predominantly Muslim country for alcohol and anyway the white wine was good. If you get silly amounts of pleasure from things like fresh tomato sauces and perfectly cooked squid in the lightest of crispy batter - give it a go. Also we wanted to be mosquito light (as opposed to the riverside) and take in the world going by - and this is a great spot. I've put mid-range for price but that's only because you can eat silly cheap in Turkey - still v cheap by U.K. Standards.

Relaxing restaurant offering good food,both traditional Turkish and European.
Reviewed By Trudie I - Wolverhampton, United Kingdom
Our first meeting with Yener he asked if we would like to dine at his place, we declined and smiling wished us a pleasant evening and said maybe another time. We went to YENERS PLACE the next evening and enjoyed our meal so much we ate there another twice. The attention to detail, the food the professiolism was second to none. This is a must eat restaurant.

Thanks everyone for recommending this one. Lovely old fashioned Turkish family restaurant. Ate in the shady garden, very atmospheric, like another world! Delicious food also. We had the mixed mezes, sea bass and the cheesy meatballs. Generous portions and cheaper than all the other restaurants we visited.

Reviewed By trahard - United Kingdom
Kept seeing adverts for Temsi so sought it out one evening. Its a small place and looks a little basic BUT the food is fantastic. Really tasty and sizeable portions too. Staff are friendly and informative about the food and plenty to choose from. Really enjoyable meal there and will definitely return. Great for families and near the centre of town.
