What Gee P likes about Tulum:
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 doesn't like 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.

A recent visit to this restaurant showcases a mix of experiences, with some diners left dissatisfied due to delays, missing dishes, and less than ideal service due to recent staffing changes. However, others found the food to be amazing and worth returning for, especially highlighting the incredible flavors and presentation. The menu offers a modern take on Turkish cuisine, with dishes like Tulum cheese and Barramundi receiving high praise. While some felt the prices for wine were steep, others enjoyed the overall dining experience and warm service provided by the friendly staff. Overall, the restaurant offers a unique culinary experience that may be worth exploring, especially for those looking for innovative and delicious Turkish-inspired dishes.
