Antalya Balıkevi — Restaurant in Muratpaşa

Amazing venue! Great food and overall decent experience.

A big thank you to the young turkish/russian lady who was the Maître d' at the restaurant. For convincing us to stay and have dinner there. She was the only person in that venue from the Front of House Team that demonstrated a genuine spirit of Hospitality.

When I arrived with the rental car in front of the restaurantat, on Friday 25th July 2025. I was immediately approached by 2 wierd men who were sitting in the parking lot. Both approached me and were insisting that I need to give them my car key so they can park it. After having a big argument with the rental car company in Antalya Airport and spent 3 hours there to sort it - I did not wish to have anymore problems regarding the car, so I refused to hand my key. At the restaurant It was quite confusing as the "valets" were not wearing any uniform and name tags to indicate that they are working for the venue. I refused to give them the key but the men were agresivly insisting - I almost left, to go to another restaurant. The young lady from the reception jumped in and asked them to stop.

We eventually were escorted to our table outside. it was a bit disappointing that during the hottest period of July 2025 when temperatures were between 39-45° C, guests wee seated outside. I initially asked for an indoor table with air-conditioning, but was not possible. We endured the heat just because this restaurant was recommended by one of my friends.

The food was perfect. Thank you to the chefs, they did and amazing job👏.

It was a bit disappointing that the front-of-house staff were not fully present during service. I understand that some were young and did not have experience, but even the older waiters were talking between themselves with their back at their tables - and was so rude of them ignoring their guests more than once. After waiting almost 5 minutes with my hand in the air, to get any attention from the waiters; I had to get up from my table and walk to the senior waiter that was looking after my table, to stop him from his "intresting conversation" with his coleague and ask for my bill. When I paid he looked angry that I did not gave him a tip in cash. I am sorry but I believed it was not deserved.

The food and location were great, but some of the staff need serious Hospitality Training- for this venue to achieve it's...

We have tried this restaurant due to recommendation that they would have fresh good quality seafood. We were very pleased with the selection and quality of the food while the service was excellent. Beware that they have a large selection of meze plates (tapas) and they all look delicious and you can go little over board and make yourself hard to enjoy the main dish but all well worth it. I tried a Mediterranean fish called Lagos and I would recommend to those who like Haddock from States. Pricing might be higher for Turkish middle class standards but definitely on the inexpensive side for Americans. We paid about TL100 per person. Comment to the restaurant management: Waiters are very professional and do an excellent job, but the only thing missing is a smile...

Quite nice, we enjoyed eating a nice dinner. Delicious starters, atom, aubergine pure, calamari grilled, shrimp in butter ovened, humus with Turkish pastırma, fresh and delicious green salad, olives black and green, fish (Akyar filets zero bons) was gorgeous likewise a stake with nicely knives sliced veg. and small gratan potatoes french style (instead of boiled potatoes, my guest had who glass of white vine, as a desert we had pumpkin with cream, tahini and walnuts on it. Additionally we had teas as well. All included cost me 470,00 Turkish lira and tipped 30 and paid 500,00 all. Does it worth it? Yes absolutely it worth it. I recommend this restaurant, Komi waiters has to be little educated. Very...
