There are many more restaurants in Side, which are considerably better all round. The highlight of the evening was a young Michael Jackson impersonator. I suggest you... More

A big bonus was that as we stayed outside the main town that the restaurant sent a bus to collect us and took us back to our villa after the meal, so no need to worry about taking a car - fantastic. The staff and owner as... More

Myself Ronnie and my wife Mandana ate at this restaurant at least once every day of our seven day holiday in Side. As the Sultan ay was just round the corner from our hotel (the Gaze Pasha) we decided to eat here for convenience. After that first experience, we decided to try other restaurants around Side, but then decided that... More
