We've had a couple of meals here and have been really impressed each time, so we decided to try the chicken madras, not something I would ever do here, and I've got to say it was excellent, and really authentic, will defiantly be back again for more

Jason or ufuk has always tried his best to satisfy his customers I am proud to call him a friend he and his staff give superb service to his customers Jeff

Now here is a question and it is posed out of curiosity rather than a criticism of any kind. Why do Turkish waiters, bar owners, etc, always give themselves alternative 'English' names? I know of no other country where this happens so what is the thinking behind it in Turkey?

You know what Keith, that's a damn good question!
I'd never really thought about it before, but there are indeed, quite a lot of Turkish people who also go by English names
I don't know about Jason, but his brother has always gone by "Junior" . The guy from the big nose bar (Think it's Imnam ) introduced himself to us as Eric

The guy we bought through who also owns A Touch of class restaurant near Tuntas beach is called Ergun Kilic, but asked us to call him Eric. When I asked him why once, he said some English people have trouble saying Ergun, so Eric is the nearest name in English (but I don't think it is) . His brother, Yasar goes by Donny and that is easy, when he was younger and had more hair, he looked a bit like Donny Osmond (and I think he sees it as a sort of professional stage name for when he is at the restaurant, as nearly everybody calls him that )
