The rice pilaf was a bit excessive, but otherwise the food was delicious. We also tried the Sultan's Plate; the meat was a little drier, the Chef's Plate was better. The yogurt and compote were also good.

What do critics say about food in Sakarya?
Mert Köfte Steakhouse is located near the highway in Sakarya. Their food is worth the trip. I ordered the mixed lamb, it was cooked medium, and the juices were still trapped inside. The lamb was tender. I recommend it.
we paid 650 per person for an iftar menu, not just the kebap. The doner was a bit undercooked but understandable given that it was around iftar time and it was very crowded. The sauce was a bit sweet. Not the best but worth the price
