Sultan Mehmed Hotel

Ghastly experience. Looked good from outside however food was over an hour in waiting. The waiter didn't seem bothered and more concerned with his phone or doing business with others on the sidewalk. When the food did arrive, it had no taste. The meat seemed old and rubbery. The pasta far too salty and was left by the kids.

The cost was very expensive and more than double other places we visited.

Would never go again.

This is the worst rip off you'll come across and they are totally unapologetic about it as you can judge from several dozen reviews saying the same.

I went it and asked for a lentil soup and a lamb casarolle to take away. I was asked if they should throw in some salad with the meal and I said no I don't want anything else from the menu. The guy smiled and came back 20 minutes later claiming it will be 85 TL. He added 30 TL for salad in the bill which was one tomato, half a carrot and some lettuce. I said I don't want it but they said they've "prepared it" (see the photo) so I'll have to take it when i didn't even order it and thought they are giving it courtesy as everywhere in Turkey they give bread with meals. I asked them to show me where on the menu is this 30 TL salad and he went hysterical blaming me for not paying for food. I ended up paying 30 TL extra for a takeaway raw veg box which would cost 5 TL in Tesco in London. This is ridiculously rip off place and looking at the reviews here it's obvious they are in the business to rip off people.

Passed by the restaurant as I was going towards my hotel next to them and I asked if they have a Lahmajun (Lahmacun) and how much is it. They said yes and it's for 8 lira. I've ordered one and two Ayran. So they went out to bring them from else ware as they don't have or make any of what I asked for. And it took them almost 25 min to bring them while they just had other customer only! Finally, I paid 20 for just that as they say each Aryan cup is 6 lira while they even bought one bottle instead of two! They're thieves in summary
