Kale Panorama Restoran — Restaurant in Alanya

HIGHLY RECOMMEND, GREAT FOOD, SERVICE, ATMOSPHERE, AND REASONABLY PRICED.

This restaurant was incredible, we didn't have any food better than here.

It has a lovely view out over Alanya Bay, during the daytime, and even more so during the night. We went at around 1900 to watch the city light up, and it was well worth it. The service was top quality. It was friendly and efficient, and, honestly, it felt genuine. It seems the staff here enjoy their job and take pride in their business, and it really shows.

We had calamari to start with the complimentary bread and olives. The calamari was perfectly cooked. It ranked at the top of our 'Best Calamari' list, which, mind you, is very extensive. I don't know what they've done to the olives, but they were soaked in something that tasted so incredible; almost like rum and raisins. The pip would just pop out if you poked it with your tongue. The bread in turkey is always good. This just further enforced that!

My partner had the grilled chicken - it was served up beautifully on the plate, and to this day, she still stands by it being some of the best chicken she's ever had. Juicy, not wet and greasy. It pulled apart at the touch of a fork and grilled so well that the outside was perfectly crispy. Served with some vegetables that were either steamed or boiled and chips/rice on the side.

I had the Shephards Kebab, which was just as incredible. The beef was perfectly seasoned and cooked exactly how it should be - only slightly chewy but moist and salty with a crispy outside It came with the same trimmings as the grilled chicken, and honestly, it was perfectly done. It was hands down the best beef I've ever had.

We had a few cocktails with dinner, I had a strawberry mojito to start while my partner had a passion fruit margarita. Both were brilliant and went down an absolute treat with the starter. For our main, we had a strawberry daiquiri and an original mojito. Again, these were incredible.

The staff were attentive and really liked to have a light-hearted joke around but didn't intrude on your private time. They played it so well with a striking balance between efficency but not rush, even to the point of asking exactly what time we want the food to come out - otherwise, they'll play it by ear.

The only downside, which is very small, is that they mostly addressed my partner through me, whether this was a sign of respect or something cultural we're not sure! But she didn't mind, she enjoys watching me handle our meals out and organising things so in a weird way it helped her enjoy it more!

The meal cost somewhere in the realm of 3500 TL, and honestly, for the service and experience, I would say it was well worth the money. We spent a week around Alanya, and this is the only place we said we would come back to. Nothing touristy about it, it feels genuine and it was a top quality meal. When we find ourselves in the neck of the woods again, this will be our first...

Me and my girlfriend decided to check the place out because we knew of the wonderful views the restaurant would provide us with. The intangibles were impressive, but the food was incredibly bland similarly to a lot of restaurants in Alanya.

Pros: the free pickup service from the hotel was very convenient and easily communicated and coordinated with the restaurant the setting looked truly gorgeous with a lot of intricate, rustic design decisions that made the place look quite historically significant and of considerable worth the view from up top is probably the best in all of Alanya the service was great, very attentive and friendly all around the non-alcoholic blueberry mojito I got was delicious

Neutral:

the shrimp appetizer we ordered was quite alright and it came with fresh bread the alcoholic cocktail (kiss me softly) my girlfriend ordered packed a major punch - this can either be a good or a bad thing

Cons:

our main dishes, the panorama special and the plank steak lacked taste almost entirely. It's hard to fathom how the panorama special in particular tasted like air in steak form even though it supposedly had garlic, cheese and all kinds of things "baked" into it. The same went for my plank steak, it was extremely bland along with too much mashed potatoes and too little bearnaise sauce thus, the price of the food felt extremely inflated considering the quality (20€ for the plank steak and 20€ for the panorama special) - we felt like we were mainly paying a premium for the location

It is a shame about the food because this kind of a beautiful and romantic place would absolutely deserve better food. We decided to skip the desserts entirely because of how bad the main courses were. If they offered half the menu items instead of having a giant selection of something for everyone, I strongly believe the food quality would go up. We are still pleased we went because of the view, the service, and the setting, but we wouldn't return because...

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 An absolutely unforgettable experience – 10/10!

We booked a table the day before via WhatsApp, and everything from start to finish was flawlessly handled. The restaurant arranged a free transfer that picked us up and drove us high up into the mountains – and from the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty.

Ozzy (as he’s called) had arranged the most beautiful table with the best view imaginable over Alanya. The atmosphere was magical, the setting romantic and cozy, and the staff were truly exceptional – friendly, funny, professional, and beyond welcoming. We’ve never experienced this level of service before – not in Alanya, and not even back home in Denmark.

The food? Absolutely mind-blowing! We had the dry-aged T-bone steak and dry-aged rib-eye steak. Both grilled to perfection, bursting with flavor, and incredibly tender. For dessert, we chose four different kinds – each one more delicious than the last. THE FOOD WAS INSANELY DELICIOUS!

This is not the kind of food or service you’ll find anywhere else – it’s truly in a league of its own. When the evening came to an end, we were safely driven back to our hotel by their transfer service – once again, part of the experience.

This is not just dinner – it’s an experience you simply can’t describe, only feel. If you’re ever in Alanya, do not miss this place. We’ll be recommending it to everyone we meet. It was honestly one of the best evenings of our...
