    My family and I went to this restaurant in mid-July and had a great experience. Here's my review…read more The location was great. The restaurant is situated in the middle of the shopping streets near the ruins. The atmosphere is cosy, classy, and welcoming. We didn't feel pressured by the staff there at all to enter the restaurant. Unlike numerous other places. The staff is simply great. So friendly and hospitable. One notable waiter called Ibrahim (I think) helped us out throughout the whole process. He was accompanied by a younger fellow who was simply too precious. He didn't say much but he worked hard. The waiters would constantly refill our drinks (water) with no extra charge. The waiter even treated us to coffee, tea, and dessert. The food differed. We were five people who ordered five different dishes. The dishes ordered were the mixed kebab dish, Iskandar kebab, the Ottoman dish, the sirloin steak, and the mix seafood dish (names are not precise). My dish, the Ottoman place, was ok. The dish consisted of minced green peppers, tomatoes, and sliced meat with rice in the middle. I wasn't too impressed, to be honest. My sisters who ordered the steak and seafood were in absolute love with their dishes. My mom ordered the kebab and was very impressed. My dad and I were less impressed with the Ottoman and Iskandar dishes. Overall, I'd go back there for the seafood dish or a different meal. I felt very welcome there and would give it a second chance with the food.

    As an American I appreciated this restaurant. As far as "western" food in Turkey is concerned this…read moreis probably in the upper echelon. However the food was average overall. Considering you have so many options in Antalya to get amazing food, you probably want to try other locations but if you're an American looking for comfort food this will do. The ambiance is pretty good, it's very "political cartoon" and you're bound to find cartoons that make you laugh and raise an eyebrow. I enjoyed my mac 'n cheese hamburger but to be honest I wasn't expecting elite execution since I was in Turkey and not New York City. Another person I was with ordered a falafel bowl and it wasn't exceptional but did the work required. A couple of other people I was with really enjoyed their dishes and I recall them talking about them later on in our trip. So it's probably a mixed bag. On the whole, during a return trip to Antalya I probably wouldn't come back here but I had a fun time.

    After wandering around along the coast of Turkey for a week, we finally arrived in Antalya, hoping…read morefor some food other than kebabs and meatballs. As we were walking down the main avenue of Antalya, we saw Leman Kultur and its cute cartoon characters and design full of customers and tourists. The menu looked super extensive with many western things, which in hindsight should have been a clue to how horrible this place was. A Turkish restaurant that claimed to serve the whole worlds cuisine.. right.. Well it was completely full all the time with locals so it must be good right? Wrong. I made the mistake of ordering some fish n chips.. which turned out to be frozen fish sticks that couldn't even bother to cook all the way through. Spaghetti Carbonara turned out to be overcooked pasta with canned chef boyardee sauce poured over and no bacon. The drinks were overly sweet and all in all everything was way overpriced for the crap food we got. Its obvious all the money goes into the restaurant decoration and none into the food itself. Mcdonalds is a way better choice and way cheaper too.
