YILDIZ

Just got back from Yildiz and wanted to write about the lamb ribs before I forget how fantastic they were. Bone-gnawingly fantastic. One of the complementary side dishes (grilled onion in pomegranate sauce) was pretty special too - as was the flat bread, grilled halloumi, everything now I come to think of it. Unpretentious/great service too - would highly recommend.

By far the best turkish restaurant i have visited. From lebanese descent myself, the Turkish menu has many similarities (including a love for meat), and i can honestly say that i have never eaten such quality away from home. Whatever shish, be it Chicken, Lamb or the very delicious Kofte, you cannot go wrong. The rice served with the shish has a very strong and tasty flavour as do the accompanying salads, and as mentioned here, the service and rastaurant has a very homely feel. Cannot recommend this place anymore.

the name is actually YILDIZ - which means STAR in Turkish.

One word about this restaurant - GREAT!!!.

For anyone who wants a really tasty, honest turkish meal, this is the place.

From the outside, it may not seem to have much promise, but if you can get past the rustic but very clean interior (which i think is very charming), you are in for a treat.

There is a traditional grill where Niyazi, the cook knocks out a constant supply of freshly cooked kebebs, meats, vegetables, cheese(hellim), and fish. it's very entertaining and you can only admire his ability to keep going with such heat glaring at him

There's a long list of starters(meze) that are provided by the kitchen - always fresh and tasty.

The mains are kebabs on the whole of all varieties and there is a good vegetarian menu and fish dishes. All of these are served with a lovely selection of salads, rice and bread(included in the price)

What I love about this place is the fact that being Turkish Cypriot makes me quite picky about my turkish food but Yildiz dont compromise on flavour and serve the food how they would at home.

The staff are always friendly and welcoming and they have a basic but satisfactory wine list.

One word of warning - dont go wearing anything tight around the waist - you'll need the space!!!!!
