Newly opened - was previously 'The Kitchen' in the Supreme car park. Tried it yesterday. Must say underwhelmed. Firstly, they need to change the waiters who are not the most welcoming or seem to be that interested. Sat outside, which frankly looked like it could do with a good clean.

No menus, just QR code - annoying as you have to get the wifi code, look online to see if there is anything you fancy, especially as we don't eat meat... Both had vegetarian pide (550 tl @ time = £10.66 or €12.67). Not overly big and unfortunately canned mushrooms (:Z) With 1 cola and Ayran, came 1220TL or £23.21 €27.54. Get a small dish of sliced tomatoes, chillies and parsley (maydanoz). They don't do salad or any mezzes of any kind, nor mayonnaise or ketchup! Struggled to get a knife even!

Frankly nothing special and definitely over priced IMHO.

Seems like nothing much has changed apart from the name then? Always found that "The Kitchen" was a great place to eat - if you were a Cypriot - even if the waiters had to be chased around to even bother to come to see if you wanted anything. Had some great meals there but only when we were with our Cypriot friends, otherwise we just become unwanted tourists! Will not bother to try the new place as there are plenty of others to choose from that welcome all comers! Just my personal opinion but I hate being treated as a tourist by people who know I have lived here permanently for the past 18 years!!!

Still busy tonight, the novelty hasn't worn-off yet... it will.

Yes definitely overpriced, especially the cheap local cheese they use, rubbery and tasteless +++. Interestingly, a TC friend went there the week before us. When I told him the prices we paid, he didn't believe me, till I showed him the online menu and our receipts. He reckons they have put their prices up about 30%+ in a week from what they paid. Buyer beware LOL
