I'll give it a try, this is how I would say it
Bu yemeğin içinde samısak var mı?
Bu yemeğin içinde samısak yok mı?
or
Bu yemek samısaklı/samısaksız mı?
But not a combination of -li/-siz and var/yok in one sentence..

sarımsaklı mı
sarımsaksız mı
mi-mı >> suffix
they are used separately.
and also the right form of "garlic" is "sarımsak" not "sarmısak".  but i think it doesn't matter. people will understand you in both ways. because some turks use "sarmısak" and some use "sarımsak".

jellyfish is not pısırık actually noone in istanbul would understand that you mean a jellyfish when you say "pısırık".
pısırık means shy, coward...
jellyfish is denizanası (mother of sea )
