Mr. TUNA Turkish & Greek Cuisine stands out in Patong for anyone looking to take a break from Thai flavors and switch to authentic Turkish food (with a touch of Greek cuisine as well). It’s located right on the main road near the beach — directly opposite McDonald’s — which makes it an easy stop for dinner or even a late-night bite.
The menu is extensive: a strong selection of kebabs (including Adana and Urfa), Iskender, mixed grills, steaks, a soup of the day and lentil soup, flatbreads and pide, plus salads such as the classic çoban topped with pomegranate molasses. Seafood is also on offer, including calamari and octopus. Desserts are another highlight: baklava pairs beautifully with ice cream, and tea is often served with Middle Eastern–style sweets.
The vibe feels distinctly Turkish, from the décor to the warm hospitality and the traditional tea at the end of the meal. In the evenings, the atmosphere is elevated by live Turkish music — sometimes with vocals, sometimes instrumental. Be aware that the volume can get fairly loud, so if you want a quieter conversation, it’s better to sit farther from the stage.
Service is quick and attentive, and both the dining area and restrooms are kept clean. Prices are closer to typical Patong/European levels; portions aren’t always large, and on rare occasions orders can get mixed up — so it’s worth confirming the dish when it’s brought to the table.
