My late husband and I were in from the beginning of Zeugma. Now, many yrs later, the many outstanding experiences, it’s hard to rate any one factor above the others. The food of course is superb! The service! The beauty of the surroundings. But above ALL, it is the friends we made— some have moved on — some remain — some to be made! Zeugma treats us as family. 🙌🏼🙌🏾 A special haven of bliss. Thank you, Can, Bork, Bola, Johan and I’ll never forget Matt and Elif. Apologies to those not named here!

Everything was amazing, the service, the food was delicious and the restaurant is fun and well decorated. My only suggestion is that the live music start a little later. The musician was very good, but the music was too loud, our reservation was at 6:15pm
