Tarihi Çınaraltı Et Lokantası

Went here last year and it was amazing friendly staff and we was told we didn’t have to have food if we didn’t want too (which we didn’t) but this year was a horrible experience. No WiFi, food was horrible, rude staff and was told we couldn’t just have drinks but food as well other wise we wasn’t aloud....

We went there with the suggestion of some of our friends but they did not know that this restaurant was good 10 years ago. Not now :) Atmosphere was good, prices were reasonable. However, lamb (tandir) was really awful. Very dry, odd taste. I thought I am eating a goat meat. It was like boiled meat. I ate tandir before in many different locations in Turkey this one was the far worst tandir I have ever had. Another issue was service. There were many waiters and waitress' (more than customers) but they couldn't maintain a good service. One of them was really rude. When we asked for kunefe (it was in their menu) as a desert they said they don't have kunefe... Come on... and you call yourself a touristic restaurant!!?. Not again until they learn the business. There are alternatives.

Enjoy a relaxed Alfresco atmosphere eating outside under beautiful shade trees. The delicious lamb on a spit, or even more succulent lamb cooked in a clay Tandoori Oven can be purchased by the kilo. The waitstaff are courteous and attentive to the customers every need. Salads are great, appetizers are not the best oh, but the meat is to die for!

I have read the negative reviews , and despite the fact , I decided to give this place a chance. Let's start ... They said that the menu is not available due to the covid-19 outbreak. That caused a great deal of confusion to start with , and you can't see the prices , so that is the first bad sign. The selection is small and the meat is average at most. The service isn't good either , we ordered some extra bread , and it didn't even show up in 20 minutes. Their own dish , which they call "Çınar Kebab" is not bad. The tandoor was served almost cold and dry (even though it tasted like lamb , it was so dry and hard that I thought it was beef). The portion sizes are large , but I honestly didn't want to eat it , so there is no point in making the portions larger... They also don't give you any side dishes , just a piece of cheese and butter and some bread. Oh , and they also give you like 50 grams of onion for 4 people. Everything is an option , with a relatively hefty price tag attached. For 4 people , we paid 220 liras. And we had to correct the receipt 2 times because they added stuff we didn't eat. Do yourself a favor , just drive to Konya for tandoor or to Adana for kebabs. Trust me , it will cost less , even if you take the fuel cost into account.

Only had breakfast here as the lunch is not available until 12:30pm. Breakfast is below average. It includes keşkek, but the eggs and menemen could be better.

Decent enough food, but the service is lackluster. We asked for a table that won't be in the sun after we start eating, and the table we got was literally the only table that wasn't in the shade of the beautiful trees. Switching tables was easy enough, but getting lied to definitely affected my thoughts on the place. The comforting trees and the cozy breeze have apparently allowed the staff to cut corners that shouldn't be cut.

could not have asked for a better experience, especially amidst a pandemic. the staff was very friendly and everything was very hygienic, the food was, to say the least, amazing. it's also amazing value, i highly recommend eating here

I don't usually go out for breakfast but this place, I especially went for breakfast. A bit expensive but great. Now have to go again for meat. And it's super cool and relaxing on the hottest summer days
