Having not been to Ezic for about 6 months, we deceided to go this lunch time.

We went to the one in Kyrenia.

We where the only people in, we now no why

Ordered our meal the salad looked as if it was a week old, sent it back

and they just put a bit more rice on the plate no salad

My partner had Crepe the inside looked like slurry. I had Kiev not butter in it

The Manager asked if we enjoyed our meal explained about what was wrong he said yes I no

Mr Ezic always kept his finger on everthing it used to be great value for money

But alas we will go again

I know what you mean Stan, I think this place has really nose dived, I went to have a meal at the other Ezic on the Mountain, Ezic Premier and that was just as empty during the day. The chicken shish was not chargrilled as it used to be, instead they looked like pieces of microwaved Iceland Chicken Nuggets! I won't be going to Ezic in the near future - has fresh chicken really gone up that much in price for restaurants to use cheaper alternatives???

Wagon,

If you dislike it that much why do you say "But alas we will go again"?

Words fail me!

Never rated any of the Ezic group, just fast food, peanuts is a nice setting, and thats about it.

Their 'prep' place is in the basement of an apartment block 1/4 mile away from the Girne Restaurant and the amount rubbish it produces which is piled up outside on the Street is vast and is only cleared away once a month or so. A great attraction for vermin but do they care? Obviously not!

We went to the Tuesday eve buffet all you can eat and drink for 30tl. Very good value and the food was ok but unexciting. The staff were brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. We had a good chat with them at the end of the night when most of their work was done and they were delightful. However, the seating arrangements were diabolical. 10 of us sat at a long table , men one side women the other, and us females were sat on a bench which meant that whenever one of us wanted to get up, all had to move to let us out!! I ask you and this at a BUFFET. Obviously gonna be a lot of getting up to help ourselves so what a bloody pain that was. The crowd all wanna go again next Tues but We would rather give it a miss, too soon to go again anyway.

I sent my meal back twice.



First time, they bought 4 drumsticks instead of a selection of breast, leg, etc. They told me Kentucky machine broken.



Re-ordered Kiev. Cut it in half, it was pink and uncooked inside. I told them to take it away.



They asked if they could get me anything else, so I asked for the telephone number of the fried chicken restaurant at the bottom of the road!

Ezic used to be fantastic when it was just the restaurant in Girne. Good food, good atmosphere, polite well organised staff - and above all good value for money.

Since the 'Premier' restaurant has opened the food is expensive and the quality is poor. The only thing that has stayed at a high standard is the staff!!



We used to go quite regularly to the original Ezic and always took guests who were visiting us, but we haven't been for over a year now!!!



I'm sure when Ezic 'Premier' has to close through lack of business Mr. Ezic will blame the Economy or the Government, when he should be looking closer to home.

Sorry folks but no complaints from us. We have been to Ezic Premier with guests from UK three times in the last two weeks and can not complain about anything. We went mostly late afternoon and although no other brits in there it was fairly busy with Turkish surely a good sign in anyones book. We have been a great many times and always take visiting guests - never had to send anything back and have tried pretty much all of the menu.

I have been to Ezic several times on my visits over the last 3 years, including 3 visits last month.

The food is always excellent, large portions, friendly efficient staff, marvellous views from the terrace, excellent value.

Only ever been evenings so cannot comment on other times of the day.

Had my 60th birthday dinner with friends in Ezic Premier, best birthday ever.

In August we ate at the Premier, not impressed, food was bland, chips soggy & still white. Disapointed as our fussy son always loves going to ezics, but he was also disapointed with the last visit. My husband has always complained that it is fast food just like McD's and with the last visit I had to agree.

Have been going to Ezic the last few years everytime we where in N Cyprus but have to agree with those that have experienced bad meals. On our last visit in July with friends and family the quality of the food had deteoriated greatly and needles to say we wont be going back, well not to the one in Girne anyway. On a more possitive note if the food was as good as those serving it i think there is a chance that people may start using it again. Have to admit prefered it before it got its makeover some time back when the food was a lot better.

We go to the Ezic Premier Tuesday night buffet on a fairly regular basis with guests from the UK. The food isn't cordon bleu but we have always found it to be well cooked, well presented and above all tasty. In the end, all you are paying is 30TL (about £12) for all you can eat and drink - darn good value if you ask me.



Regards

That's the whole point, 'well cooked'. Asked for rare lamb chops, they came out burnt. My friend asked for a blue steak and it came out well done! They haven't a clue what they are doing in the kitchen, no excuses. Emailed Ezic and the reply was they would retrain their chefs!



I stick to one restaurant (which is not allowed to be named on this forum) where the chef knows what he's doing and knows me well enough not to fob me off with any old rubbish!

I have only been in the evening but I cannot fault Ezic Premier/Platinum always had great food, and the staff are great, so no complaints from me

We went to ezic premier been going for years we went within last couple of days of ramadan everyone in buffet but no one in our party of 12 wanted that so kept to original menu, only 1 person had no complaints.

took 1 hour to get served, had to get our own knives and forks every plate had something missing and the waiter would bring in cold food from the buffet. had a word with the manager, his answer was we are sorry when you come again it won't happen! They may have been busy in the buffet but no one in our section of restaurant. This is where they are going wrong every restaurant has bad days its how you deal with it.

RE msg 19, Brinsley: (...) the chef knows what he's doing and knows me well enough not to fob me off with any old rubbish! (...)

=> Sorry, slightly off topic, but: I think said chef will not fob off anyone - whether he knows you well or not at all.
