Depends what you are after, you can go cheap all the way to the opposite direction.
Last year a set chicken dinner (Any chicken dish) with soup as a starter and ice cream was anything from 18TL to 25TL
Steak set dinner was circa 30TL
Efes was between 7-10 Lira depending on the bar but on average I think I was paying 8-9, Gin with mixer 9-11 again depending on the bar.
Alcohol tax again has increased this year so I am budgeting for 10 Lira a beer which at the current exchange rate in £2.50.
we budget £50 a day each with a few hundred extra as a backup as we both enjoy a drink and don't want to skimp.
I think actual pricess for 2015 will be out in the next few weeks as people visit and give reports.

Prices will be competitive as ever. I see the exchange rate is still going up. Not be long until it reaches YTL her in the UK, so great value regardless. I don't drink so if our meals at say Florida go from £11/40YTL to £11.50/45YTL we wont grumble as still great value. Alcohol may go up as the vast majority of visitors have it with dinner etc.
