Why, oh why when in Turkey would I want to eat this garbage. My first review was really in recommendation of this eatery, however, I personally would strongly suggest that before you decide to dine, ask what is, or is not available. Based on tonight's misadventure, when we left without eating, I could not recommend going there, pity but they must ensure...
