What a pleasent surprise for me. My 69th birtday was yesterday but my wife secretly arranged a family meal at Zone restaurant at Bellapais. It was my first time there. The place is actually made up of three distinct places on three separate floors. The Mongolian Restaurant, the Sea food Restaurant and the Pub.

We had a reservation for the Mongolian restaurant for Sunday afternoon. It was sort of self service. Each was given a small flag on a small stick with our names on it. Each had to make his own dish. Beef, lamb, turkey, chicken, sea food and various vegetables. We were advised to choose either red meat or white meat or sea food at a time. You put everything into a bowl and put your flag on it. Then we had a small bowl of noodles and again we had about 40 additives to select from and add to the noodles. Cream, BBQ sauce, soya sauce, ginger, mustard, mint, curry etc. etc. We all placed our noodles bowl infront of our meat dish on the tray. The meal was ready in ten minutes time. Then the second round and then

ctd.

the third round if you wished. Indeed I had three rounds, one for red meat, one for white meat and one for sea food. All very delicious and it went well with a bottle of red wine. Then the surprise, a birthday cake with a candle on it and I was forced to wear a 170 years old Mongolian hat to go with it. It was a good laugh.

Worth a try. Tel: 0533 880 2222; 0533 872 1414 and 0533 870 2466. Yayla Sok., Bellapais.

Happy birthday for yesterday Ismet. The restaurant sounds good. I used to enjoy going to the Mongolian BBQ restaurants in London a few years back, it's a great fun way of doing food.

Happy Birthday, Ismet!

We were going to add that you are now at the age when you can start behaving badly - but you do that so very well already!

Much love

Moira and Keith

we had a meal at the zone - in the meze restaurant - but I was very disappointed as smoking was permitted and I do not like sitting in smoky restaurants - I did not complain because what is the point - there was already people smoking when we arrived.



Will NOT be going again !!!!!

We had a wonderful Mongolian meal, along the same vein as your birthday celebrations but with a twist.....if you could guess the weight of your meal that you have hand picked yourself, after it had been cooked, then you got it for free.......none of us was successful, but had such a laugh.....happy belated birthday wishes to you.....Shrimpx

elko,

happy belated birthday. It is my birthday in 2 weeks time and ı may give this place a try. If you dont mind me asking, would you consider the prices to be reasonable. I have been to a place in Istnabul that sounds very similar to this and really enjoyed it.



Many thanks for your advice.

I am sorry to hear about the smoking. I am a fanatical no smoking person, so I would certainly walk out after my protest.

I think the price was reasonable, I paid 400 TL for 10 people. He did say the cost is 35 TL per person if we chose in one go and 45 TL for unlimited tries but as a first timer he would charge us 35 TL without limit on the food. The sweets were on the house. So a bottle of wine cost 50 TL.

what do you say, would we be able to keep the place for our selves or is the capacity much more than 25-30?

Hi Airy_Fairy,



It is sad to hear your disappointment about our smoke free Restaurant, Zone-Meze. We would like to inform you that we have 3 restaurants in the same area(Zone -Mongolian, Zone-Seafood and Zone-Meze which is a tavern). It is strictly forbidden to smoke in Zone-Mongolian and Zone-Seafood, on the other hand Zone-Meze is designed as a smoke free Restaurant according to the TRNC laws.



regards,

Umit
