Time to get the gang together? Book Marmaris in Nottingham; an authentic Turkish dining experience focusing on fresh ingredients, generous portions and sharing plates that are ideal for getting together with a group of mates, family time or even after work socials.
The appeal here is straightforward: Marmaris does the classics well. The kitchen works with carefully sourced produce, preparing dishes to order so that everything arrives piping hot. It’s the kind of place where the table quickly fills up: think cold starters, hot pastries, grilled meats, sides, salads and chef specials.
A meal often begins with traditional mezze. Cacik, a cooling mix of yoghurt, chopped cucumber and garlic, works well as a light opener or alongside olives, hummus and vine leaves. From the hot starters, börek - crisp filo pastry filled with feta and parsley - tends to be a crowd pleaser, offering the kind of flaky, savoury comfort that’ll be all over your fingertips in seconds.
Typical to Turkish dining, the grill is central to the Marmaris experience. Chargrilled lamb ribs arrive tender and smoky, while seafood options such as chargrilled seabream with roasted potatoes and salad bring balance to the menu. For those looking for something lighter, the salmon salad layers sliced grilled salmon over crisp leaves with a Caesar-style dressing. Or, dig into a juicy burger, served with salad and chips. The wider menu also includes vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes, making it easy to accommodate mixed groups without overthinking the order.
Drinks are a happy nod to Turkish tradition. A glass of Turkish tea rounds off a meal neatly, while Turkish coffee offers something stronger and more aromatic. Lemon tea or mint tea provide lighter alternatives, particularly welcome after a generous spread. If fruit is your thing, you’ll love the cherry, peach and apple juice, for a sweet finish.
