We love the stone grill experience wherever we go but unfortunately this outlet/franchise supply inferior raw meat and always mess the bill up in their favour.

We are aware of that and check their bill carefully and now only order their sirloin steak which is fantastic.

Our honest opinion is that is set up for the holidaymaker who has no interest/idea how things work and can be mugged for their money.

The waiter who has dealt with us for 2 years has not changed but the excuses why the bill is wrong varies and is now treated as a game, prepare to pay cash so no problems.

rc, it has been about 5 months since we went and there were 12 of us out of which I think 10 had the actually stone and self cook experience and all to the last enjoyed it very much the 2 other a la carte diners also enjoyed it.

The food was good and plentiful, the drink was flowing although not excessively, I would say an average of 3 drinks per person of either wine/beer/spitrits and soft drinks there was also coffee and apertifes.

All in all it was very enjoyable and the price worked out after tip at 50TL each, I personally thought it was very fair for what I had to eat and drink.

Maybe it was because it was pre-booked for 12 and they new it was a birthday party because a cake was dropped off for us or maybe we were just lucky, I am not sure but I would imagine getting it right for 12 different palets takes a tad more than luck.

We visited earlier in the year and the four of us had the hot stone option, I had seafood a couple had steak and one had chicken, my seafood was simply gorgeous; I ate it just the right side of cooked. The steaks were so so succulent and the chicken, once it was ccoked through properly was really good and so juicy. With the meze and the sides there was more than plenty to eat and I didn't think the price was any less reasonable than other restaurants, but then I am a holdaymaker so I probably don't know any better. I'm out again in a few weeks with the folks and it's deffo on my list for dinner.

Be careful if you order a bottle of wine. When the bill came for a very ordinary bottle of Turkish white which already seemed a bit expensive at 35 TL, we were amazed to find that the 35TL price tag was actually for a half bottle!!!! How many of us check the size of the bottle which is in small print on the menu???? My own opinion is that when I go out for a meal I don't really want to have to cook it myself but eveyone has a choice in that one!
