Sini Restaurant

Sini Restaurant

Welcome to the Sini Restaurant, our specialty is Ottoman and International cuisine

In a traditional Turkish family the people eat together on the floor.  They sit at a sort of tablecloth and a large round serving tray with about three or four different kinds of dish.  In Turkish this tray is called a "Sini".  Around the restaurant you will see traditional Turkish Cooking implements, directly opposite the entrance you will see a "Sini" and traditional clay pots decorate our entrance.

With the special decorations and furniture in our restaurant we strive to give you a flavour of the Turkish traditions and hospitality.  Our menu is set to accommodate everybody's taste.  You have a choice of various common Turkish dishes, if you like to try some more traditional food you will also find this on the menu.  It is our goal to not just serve you an excellent meal, but also to give you some more background about the way Turkish food is prepared.  If you have any questions or special requests we are pleased to serve you.

Our restaurant is set in the gardens of one of the oldest village houses in Dalyan, we have restored this and today it keeps its traditional atmosphere.   The garden is dominated by a large rubber tree which dates around 85-90 years old, this gives excellent shade on even the brightest days.  The remainder of the garden is tastefully planted and you will enticed through the door by the beautiful planting of our restaurant front.

We look forward to welcoming you to our Restaurant,
Enjoy your meal, Affiyet olsun!
