Erolz in Ozankoy always had a good name, though as i understand it, others are now running the place.

Rowlo,



We have found Erol's is good and although they have changed hands the chef is still the same and the steaks we had on Saturday were fab.



Also, as mentioned above The Steak House opposite Karakum Lemar are good and a good price as well, but no booze. We usually have a drink before hand then a few after.

Alternatively you could buy them from the Kibet butcher opposite Lemar in Karakum - same steaks they serve in their restaurant and have always been very good, cut to your requirements. That way you can cook at home on the bbq and have as much as you want to drink without worrying about driving!

Definitely Erols for any kind of meat. Always cook steak to perfection. Yes the only difference at the moment is that Erol is not there. Caroline still there helping out. We were there also on Friday...food as good as ever.

Someone has taken out a lease at Erols .. But for all intent & purpose the staff is still the same ..

Caroline is there with her superb salads .. The only change is Erol isn't there ..

We had excellent steaks at Rafters last week, best we have had for ages.

I agree with other posts we have also had fab steaks at Erols.

It is a member of Erols' family who has taken over so it will not change hopefully. Everything, including the fab meats is still the same. same staff, same chef. great food

I think finding a good butcher and doing em at home is a good idea in TRNC...but also agree with Msg 23, Ambiance have good steaks.

Will take note of the comments re butcher next to Mr Pound and Efendis...maybe try both and compare when we are out in a couple of weeks time.

Midsummer House. Six of us went last night, and the steak was Heavenly. I like mine blue and you can't pass off sub-standard meat particularly, when it's only has a breif encounter with a heat source!

Fabulous meal.
