I was reading the Living Magazine when I came across an acticle about the new MOS Restaurant. It shocked me to read how the owner was trying to sell his restaurant to people by talking about his wife`s death and how he had to raise two kids all by himself of whom one is disabled. I have heard people talk about him saying `poor old man he went through it all by himself` and it made me sick to my stomach because this man married a very close friend of mine 18 months after his ex wifes death and she was the one who raised the kids while he enjoyed his life. What is even sadder is that my friend has a son who grew up calling this man his father and he did not even have the decency to mention his name but that did not surprise me as with the end of his marriage to my friend he brutally gave up the father role to this young man and you can only imagine what that must feel like.

The reason I`m sharing this with you is because I am just astonished at how low one might go and use the excuse

of his dead wife & disabled son just to draw attention to himself and sell his restaurant. Its very sad and I now know not to recommend this restaurant to anyone as I would not want anyone to be around such low lying hard-to-say-but human beings.

I know the ex wife too. It seems that a certain Mr Cerkez is using his first wife and disable son as a gimmick to sell his restaurant - it's a low blow and one not to be proud of. He should be ashamed of himself

I agree with you but it seems people like him do not have shame it is all about the money that goes in to his pocket even if it means lying about his entire past & being ungreatful to what used to be his family.

I find this so sad as I also know the lady concerened. Beleive you me she is every inich a lady. I would not knock another restaurant as you all know but I do know how upset she is to be excluded from his life like this. Its like her and her son did not exist. She looked after his boys and no mention. Yes sadly his first wife died but you can not forget you remarried and that person looked after the family. The mazagine can only report on what is told to them.Its so very sad xxxxx

I too read the article with disgust. I also know the lady and she is about the best friend a girl could have.



How on earth this man can be so low as to use his dead wife and crippled son as a marketing gimick is beyond me - especially as he has completly ignored the fact that he was married to someone else for 20 odd years (who brought up his kids) and has a son that he has turned his back on (nice guy).



But then...... never trust a guy that can't be honest about his hairline!

I don't think Living Magazine have come out of this too clean either. Poetic licence and all that.

I don't know if Living do background checks but at the end of the day I don't suppose you expect a person to lie so shamelessly so can only print what you've been told.

I agree i bet he made the story so touching that they couldnt imagine it being lies. Another article should be printed - the true story of Mr Cerkez by his ex wife and son

Yes everything seems to be pointless to Neg Nick surprised it took him this long to make a comment seeing as this is all he seems to do..
