Was Gee P at Tulum a mag?
Read a lot about this place in the usual places and thought we’d take advantage of The Fork deal. The food is very presentable and Instagrammable and a modern take on Turkish food. The Turkish bread with dips was full of flavour but it was the Tulum cheese starter served with lavosh that rocked our world. The fava bean pate was odd but interesting and the octopus dish was amazing (this dish wasn’t covered by The Fork... View all feedback.

What Mallory Roob dislikes about Tulum:
The place is nice and service friendly. Cam even get a little crowded. The food is good to ok. The sharing plates: chicken was good and mash rooms were good but the red meat although flavoursome the meat didn't feel like great quality. Main dishes: fish and lamb were nice. Desserts; Halva was very good the 2 others so so much. View all feedback.

Great little place to enjoy the a taste sensation with each and every meal. A little more expensive than our usual but the preparation time and ingredients were appreciated and made for wonderful flavours. We would definitely recommend as a restaurant with a difference.

One Hatted restaurant established in recent years, 2016 – focussed on turkish cuisine. I was so lucky that my dear friend C took me here for my birthday! I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to do a post on Tulum. Off the busy street in Balaclava. Tulum is quite dim when you walk in, the most lit area is the bar and the light reflecting on the beautiful brick walls of the restaurant. Cosy dining area but enough for just a bit of privacy…

Highly recommend as a date night venue, perfect for sharing and slowly enjoying. We had a handful of meze dishes, I especially enjoyed the borek it was so tasty. Make sure to ask the waiters for wine recommendations!
