On
my
travels
to
Leicester
I
usually
go
up
and
down
on
London
Road
and
noticed
Konak
a
couple
of
times.
And
decided
I
will
give
this
Turkish
restaurant
a
go.
I
went
to
Konak
on
a
weekday
afternoon.
Headed
inside
a
friendly
waiter
(labelled
him
in
a
photo
to
this
review)
noticed
and
served
me,
I
told
I
him
was
on
my
own
and
he
took
me
to
a
table.
Shortly
afterwards
he
presented
me
with
a
menu
in
a
booklet
format.
For
starters
I
chose
the
Mixed
Hot
Meze,
the
drink
a
bottled
Salgam
and
the
main
meal
a
Ribeye
Steak
(medium
rare).
It
took
some
time
for
my
order
to
come
through,
and
I
believe
there
is
a
reason
for
this.
When
it
did
come
through
the
starter
the
Mixed
Hot
Meze
(or
how
I
like
to
call
it
now,
the
Mixed
Hot
Meme)
was
near
to
lukewarm
and
somewhat
disappointing.
The
Sucuk
Izgara
was
like
near
edible
salty
leather
(not
in
a
good
way),
the
Halloumi
was
like
eating
a
soft
rubber,
the
Sigara
Boregi
just
ok
but
the
Falafel
was
the
best
out
of
the
four!
The
price
for
the
Mixed
Hot
Meze
(£17.00)
(Mixed
‘Hot’
Meme)
is
not
worth
it!
In
my
opinion
for
what
it’s
worth
it
should
have
been
priced
about
£10.
I
did
not
drink
all
of
the
Salgam
as
it
was
a
very
Hot
day
(it
was
very
spicy),
and
I
reckon
that
drink
will
go
very
well
during
the
winter
cold
days
as
an
alternative
to
tea
and
coffee.
Onto
the
main
dish,
the
Ribeye
I
believe
was
cooked
from
frozen.
I
reckon
the
chefs
took
it
out
of
the
freezer
to
thaw
the
meat.
Which
took
the
longest
to
come
out,
the
middle
part
of
the
steak
was
ok
but
the
edges
were
like
chewing
gum.
(see
photos
of
the
chewed
up
‘meat’
to
this
review)
The
white
sauce
that
came
with
the
steak
tasted
bland
it
had
no
taste
in
it.
The
only
decent
thing
that
came
with
the
steak,
was
the
chips.
At
this
point
I
was
not
upset
or
disappointed
with
the
steak,
as
I
don’t
usually
eat
steak
on
a
regular
basis.
So
I
am
not
a
Steak
expert
like
Guga
from
Gugafoods
(YouTube).
After
this
I
went
to
the
cashier
to
pay
for
the
disappointing
food
(labelled
him
as
The
Attitude
problem
guy,
see
photo
to
this
review),
I
think
he
knew
that
the
food
in
Konak
is
below
par,
and
he
most
certainly
saw
me
spitting
out
the
chewing
gum
texture
of
the
disappointing
steak.
He
asked
how
was
the
food?
I
replied
I
am
not
a
steak
expert
and
I
don’t
feel
that
I
can
say
if
the
steak
was
good
or
not.
He
retorted
to
me
saying
that
you
should
not
of
ordered
it
medium
rare
(in
a
very
rude
way).
I
was
like
staring
at
him
and
thinking
to
myself
I
have
not
made
a
negative
reply
about
the
place
yet!.......................apart
from
this
review.
After
this
I’ve
read
other
reviews
of
Konak
Leicester
on
Google
maps
thoroughly,
and
it
turns
out
that
there
are
reviews
who
have
a
negative
experience
with
“dark
browned
skinned
Indian
guy”
and
I
believe
he
is
the
same
exact
person,
I’ve
also
had
unpleasant
experience
with.
(please
read
other
reviews
from
Lilly
Montrose,
Tim
King
and
AAA
IXV)
In
my
opinion
I
think
there
are
better
menu
items
with
Konak,
if
there
are
people
who
are
reading
this
review.
I
would
suggest
to
stay
away
from
all
of
their
steaks.
And
lastly
be
very
wary
of
The
Attitude
problem
guy
(the
dark
skinned
indian
guy
with
the
silver
framed
glasses)
