We ate at Gul last week and were really impressed. There is a lovely sea view from the open terrace, the food was great - the best we had in Side, the kids were kept entertained by the (tucked away) play area and Fistik the dog. Very friendly without being intrusive which had been a problem elsewhere. We are returning... More

Visited this the Gul after reading reviews and was not disappointed. The food was excellent as was the welcome, the view and the atmosphere. The owner also entertained us with his numerous wooden puzzles. There was no doorman to try and hassle you inside and we enjoyed the Gul very much. Would recommend.

The owner was really helpful and so... More

If you are looking for 5* style with all the trimming go elsewhere and pay for it. There are plenty who will charge you a lot more than this unpretentious little restaurant that seems only to wish to please. Great food great service and nice view if you get the right table. I have been going to Side for a... More

We have been to Side many times and this is by far the best resturant we have ever been too. We visited Guls 5 times and had the Testi kebab twice it is done differently here than most places in Side but that means you don't get nasty bits of pot in your dinner. The food is lovely very nicely... More

What a peaceful and pleasant place. It's just off the main stretch but this affords a lovely, quiet day time lunch. The waiter was a lovely Turkish man who showed just the right amount of attention to us and approached very timidly which was a sweet contrast to some other places. We went here twice and both times the food... More
