This is a çöpşiş (shish kebab) place that made itself famous entirely through Facebook and…read moreInstagram. It seems popular just because it's located right on the highway and has fake high ratings on platforms like Google Maps, but the reality is a complete letdown. The quality of the meat you get for the price you pay is terrible. The biggest downside is that they serve beef, whereas authentic çöpşiş is supposed to be made of lamb. It's not just the meat, either--the fries and mezes served on the side are also pretty bad. On top of all this, the stream flowing right behind the restaurant literally smells like sewage.

Staff are super attentive and hospitable. The location is ideally in a corner of semi-residential area but with valet parking. This is one place I always don't miss to visit at least once whenever am in Marmaris, Turkey. This trip alone, our group had dinner here 3 times! Highly recommend if you're ever in the south of Turkey!

The interior was open, airy, and welcoming to a relatively large group of us (10). Would absolutely go back.
