This is one of the best sushi restaurants in town. Generally food is very tasty. They serve a large variety of “house special rolls”. Shrimp tempuras are great. Apart from the food, they have a very good bar with many signature cocktails. Ambiance of the restaurant is elegant. Very well decorated but not overwhelming. Also location is very good together with a decent sea view. Service is flawless. Regarding the prices, naturally it is not cheap but taking into consideration that sushi is a luxury food even in a casual restaurant, the prices are not exaggerated.

The Turkey’s Southeastern Region’s unrivalled delicious kebabs were offered to the appreciation of customers while preserving their authentic characteristics and preparation methods during 18 years in the same place.

It is still located at the near the same parking lot and does not only offer its services to the surrounding business areas but also organizes the reception of tourist groups, arranges business meals, and special traditional musical evenings.
