Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

i cooked sea bass in salt over the weekend and have got to say it was delicious, not as good as eating it outside in the warmth of icmeler but very nice all the same. I was just wondering what other people's favourite meals are when they are in icmeler

my favourite is meat and cheese pede, followed by tahinli and washed down with ayran

Not exactly a Turkish meal as such but Captain Bullshits, sizzling beef takes some beating

Mixed Grill at Titanic
Fillet Steak at Harrys
Chicken Sizzler at Majestic
Lamb Kebab at Erdem
Deep Fried Ice Cream at Masala

But not on the same night.....

Sac kavurma at Cupids
Steak at Ozzy's
Chicken merengo at The Lighthouse
Any of Tine's home-made cakes at The Lighthouse (totally to die for)
Meatballs at Chef
Honey glazed chicken at Charlie's
Chicken doner wrap and apple pie Erdem Cafe
Sigara Borek (cheese rolls) any time, any place

My mouth is watering already!

Looking forward to delicious garlic bread, peppered steak, mixed grill: in fact all meals at Jimmy Okimo's.

hi sandancer i what a judge, my thoughts as well ,also the whiting fish is excellent,its so fresh ,and cooked in a light batter,and homemade chips... yummey. he buys it fresh every day ,and its still moving in the container when delivered. the okimo bar/rest is one of the cleanest in icmeler,and its a pleasure to eat there,in good surroundings.

hi, can you tell me where Okimo's is, cheers

Funny what some people think of as being "Turkish" food? Wouldn't have classed the likes of fish and chips or a mixed grill in that category myself...

I love all kinds of Turkish food (never really tried anything I haven't enjoyed), especially lamahcun (Turkish pizze) and cucek. Also went out on a day trip with Donna last October and had ayran to die for at a village restaurant - it's so refreshing when you're hot and thirty. Used to have cravings for things like this and had to travel to Portsmouth to find a restaurant here for Turkish food but now there is a new one in Reading. My daughter and myself went there last Monday and had lunch - lamahcun, cucek washed down with Efes, and it tasted really authentic. Can't wait to get back to icmeler in May for more of the real thing!

Following on from my mum's post I did really enjoy the turkish pizza we had at our local Turkish restaurant last week but I have to say my fav Turkish meal is Eskender Kebab. Skewered lamb, Chunks of Bread, Tomatoe sauce (like salsa but not spice) yoghurt normally served with Rice and Chips. My fave one so far was at Friends bar in the main square. Bring on May 2010.

Paca soup and kokorec in the evening or as a snack at lunch time its got to be kofta ekmek. can't wait, only 9 weeks left !!!!!

kelebek1966 - where is the one in Reading? Just up the road from me - I usually have to pop into London for a good turkish meal. Cheers.

The Anatolian Pot at Selam is the best meal I've had in Turkey. Superb.

If you stand at the front entrance of the Efes Inn and look over towards the canal you will see Jimmy Okimos is on the righthand side on the corner. All the meals are super and Jimmy and his wife make everyone welcome. Hope you visit and experience the service and quality of the food. He also plays some lovely background music.

durum kebab is really nice
and kutilik (i think thats how you spell it)
xxxx

Chicken Topika (think thats how you spell it) at the Selam, it's so tender real melt in the mouth stuff, with a lovely creamy and chilli sauce. Oh how I wish I was there now.
And the Rack of lamb at the lighthouse, know that it's not really Turkish but it's to die for.

I know what you mean, bill - and I wasn't having a go at anyone, just when I read the topic, I was expecting to read more about people's favourite actual Turkish dishes, rather than the kind of food you can get anywhere. It wasn't intended as a dig or anything like that.

my actual favourite turkish dish is iskender kebab i love the way the yogurt and tomatoe mixes together
