The Eski Koy Special Mixed Kebab is well worth it for two people and takes the decision-making out of the ordering process since it has a good assortment of everything. All the meats were phenomenal! They were tender, juicy, buttery, well-seasoned, charred, smoky, and mouthwatering. The grilled chicken wings blew me away while the adana kebab literally melted in my mouth. The lamb chops were so succulent and the chicken & beef skewers were perfectly cooked. I preferred this meal with white rice as opposed to their bulgur pilaf. Their white rice is buttery, pillowy, and so fragrant. I like that this special came with 2 types of mini lahmacun which was a nice change in texture and also very tasty! We ended with their Kunefe w Cream which was made very well. Being Middle Eastern myself, I love Kunefe and this one was done right! It's sweet but not overly sweet, hot and crispy on the outside, creamy and gooey on the inside. It was complimented by the Turkish Tea which was fragrant and soothing. This meal hit the spot!

The prices are super reasonable and fair as they are located outside the "tourist zone". We got the Mixed Pide to start which is essentially a flatbread topped with a bunch of ingredients. It was super filling from the toppings but the pide itself was surprisingly thin. It's made fresh and you can tell with each bite. My favorite was the Mixed Kebab which is an assortment of meats over bulgur pilaf and roasted vegetables. Everything was juicy, smoky, and well-seasoned. The grilled chicken wings and adana kebab were my favorites and I absolutely loved pairing it with the onions with sumac. For two people, this was the right amount of food to split and I love that there were tons of protein options here. Staff were friendly, service was quick, and we were seated right away. Solid lunch spot!

With that said, you go to Zuma Bodrum for the vibes, views, and maybe a pretty drink. The food gets a 3/5 while the location and ambiance get a 5/5. I made a reservation for sunset/golden hour a few weeks in advance and I was beyond grateful and appreciative that we literally got the best table in the restaurant, closest to the water, the Zuma sign, and the stunning sunset! The cocktails were both delicious and I highly recommend the Lychee & Rose Petal Martini as it was tropical, light, and not overly sweet. The food is overpriced for what it is so just get what sounds good or have a light bite here. I will say my favorites were the Salmon Avocado Maki Roll and Semi Fatty Tuna Aburi Maki Roll. Zuma Bodrum truly embodies what summer on the Mediterranean feels like and despite the lackluster food, I highly recommend visiting this location for the most unbelievable sunset views.

Had a lovely lunch at this restaurant a few days ago…read more Service was amazing and our waiter went above and beyond to cater to my annoying food allergies. The restaurant was quiet at 3pm on a Wednesday but it is beautiful and spacious. Food was surprisingly delicious. We had mezze, salad, bread, etc. and it was all really tasty. The bill was a bit confusing. I think we were charged for more than what we ordered, and I see that others have had this issue too. But we decided not to stress about it and paid it. The total wasn't too bad in any case. Overall we'd return if lucky enough to be in Bodrum again!

TL;DR: Scam restaurant, Run away!…read more I spend my holidays in Bodrum every year and this is the first time I get scammed by a restaurant manager. This restaurant's speciality is fish but half of the courses haven't a price written on the menu, we asked for the price before setting on table, and the owner said clearly that it depends on the fish arrival, that today it was 1000₺ / Kg, this is why no price is written. We had our lunch, the owner was pushing for consuming more and more, bringing bread and water bottles we didn't ask for. End of meal, the bill comes and TADA! The price of the fish was now 3000₺ / Kg! of course, we contested the price. The owner said that he never said 1000₺, that the bill was generated automatically and now we have to pay. He then brought a small placard with 3000₺ written on it, TADA! second magic trick, why this placard was hided all along? And why these prices are different from the ones that are announced at the beginning? This restaurant's business is based on scaming tourists, making them pay 3 times the price. They don't care of your negative experience, chances are that you won't come back to this city anyway. Most of the 5stars reviews are bots. And if you have children, please, bring them here. There are so many smokers, that they can easily learn as well.
