MAGARINA BULLI RESTAURANT/CAFE

[BLUE BUTTERFLY]

We received a very warm welcome on our first visit to this recently opened restaurant from Kenan the owner/chef and his lovely wife Kezi. Two english speaking ex london cypriots.

They serve TRADITIONAL CYPRIOT FOOD.

Cyprus kofte, green beans with lamb, firin makarna, chicken curry, etc etc, spoilt for choice we tried the SEF KARISIK SPECIAL. An assortment of everything.

I had the curry, bulgar with onion and tomatoes, kofte and vegetable kofte.

Hubby had Bakla [broad beans cooked with onions] roast chicken, rice, chips and kofte.

We could have had more, ie salad etc but our plates were overflowing.

The food was excellent, extremely tasty and freshly cooked every day and the restaurant is bright and cheerful and spotlessly clean.

We finished off with a complimentary square of yogurt tatlisi, light as a feather cake made with yogurt and sprinkled with coconut, not too sweet and not 'swimming' in syrup.

All this and an ayran and a coke, total cost 35tl

They have applied for a drinks licence for those who like a beer or wine with their meal and are open from 12noon until the food finishes.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

The restaurant is on the main road but far enough back to be comfortable.

LOCATION, coming from the Alsancak end, 100mtrs past Karaolanoglu Lemar, on the left handside, plenty of parking spaces.

They also do takeaways in the near vicinity.
