Marmaris – Turkish – Nottingham

On the strip for Turkish eating places in Nottingham one has returned to the positioning that beforehand housed Bosporus. The closure of that and Istanbul left simply Tipoo as high Turkish on the town. These locations are sometimes overly bling however Marmaris takes issues to full Dubai marina ranges of gold leaf. The music blares, the workers are loud, the desk’s so shiny I can see my face in it. It definitely can’t be accused of an absence of ambiance. The menu is especially the tried and examined numerous grilled meats nevertheless they do open early and supply a Turkish breakfast possibility in contrast to their neighbours.

One of many nice virtues of those eating places is the hearty portion of free bread and dips you at all times get, don’t overlook to issue that into your order in any other case you may solely end half your major course! Regardless of that I at all times need to order lahmacun. A skinny, crispy bread with a coating of a little bit minced lamb, tomato and lashings of garlic. A cut price at £4 and infinitely higher than virtually all garlic breads. Eager to attempt the primary attraction I opted for a lamb & hen shish combo (£17) which got here with rice and salad. The rice was properly flavoured with a little bit oil and spices and rather more interesting than its quite bland look. The meat itself all appeared of high quality and was expertly charred on the open grill you’ll be able to see as you are available. I’m a sucker for the blackened veg too so it was good to see an honest quantity.

You’re definitely more likely to get a big, pleasurable plate of meals at Marmaris. If I am going once more I’d be tempted to share a combo plate or go for a cheaper major alongside the bread. It felt equal to the opposite good Turkish eating places, though maybe a couple of £ dearer. I suppose they should pay for all that gold within the decor one way or the other.
