Like many newer BigChefs locations in Turkey, it's well done with quality furniture and a modern, polished look. The restaurant is well staffed, and the team is attentive and polite, which is consistent with the BigChefs brand. Our food arrived within 15-20 minutes, which is perfectly normal. What was surprising, though, was that dessert took about 30 minutes to be served. I don't quite understand why a cheesecake would take that long. The tea was fresh and enjoyable, and the music volume was very well adjusted not too loud and not too quiet. If you're tired of eating local staples like mantı or sucuk ekmek during your visit, this is a good option if you're craving a more big-city-style menu, ambiance, and overall dining experience.

The outdoor sitting area looked like a little park and had spectacular view. The indoors had trees all over. I was impressed with the decor. To my happy surprise they menu had intertional foods. This was a restaurant I stumbled in becauseof its beauty. I did no research. The first thing i noticed when I sat was the olive oil bottle by the table. I was glad they had this detail. The bread was warm and good. I ordered hummus and Chicken Schnitzel. It was delicious. I got to try something else I don't know the name. It was good. They make good food here. I was happy with the meal. The service was very slow. Over twenty minutes for the meal to come. I asked the waitress three times for the check in a period of ten minutes. It was frustrating. No one checked on us if we wanted refills but the food was great.

Like most of the people going here, we came here for the Turkish Night Show. This place itself is…read morevery grand looking. In keeping with the theme of Cappadocia region, it looks like an old cave palace and is probably also used for weddings and conferences. The show itself was so-so. There was a lot of dancing and various costumes, but besides one of the belly dancers, it seemed like the dancing was amateurish and they were just going through the motions or making it up as they went along. The food was decent though. They give you a lot of little side dishes of vegetables and sauces. And then you get a choice of which entree you prefer. There is also a choice of alcohol included too. Because it is a show package, your choices are limited but the amount and quality of the food was fair.

Then you see the entrance carved right into the rock! It's enormous and amazing inside. The architecture is absolutely fantastic. The tables are long with benches fit for a queen, or me. There are several nooks and right smack in the middle of the grandest niche was a single chair with a gentleman playing traditional music. It was gentle and beautiful, with was a pleasant end to a very long day outdoors in the heat. The food, like most dinners and a show, you're paying more for the experience than the food. There was nothing to snuff your nose up at, it was all edible, traditional, and satisfactory. You get several courses, you will leave well fed. It something I will never forget. I'm delighted with my experience.

The colors of the furniture and walls is mainly purple and silver. Their specialty is Manti, which is similar to dumplings or ravioli but on a smaller scale. They are diamond shape dumplings filled with meat. It is served initially with butter and red pepper. Then you add yogurt with optional garlic, sumac, red pepper and or mint. The cold appetizers are sold based on the size plate you eat. The smallest plate is 6 TL. I enjoyed the grape leaf wraps and string beans the most.

Food comes out at a very reasonable pace, usually within 15-25 minutes, which is completely normal for meat dishes. While you wait, they keep you engaged with more 'ikram' -complimentary small bites- which makes the wait feel even shorter. The ambiance is quiet and upscale. There's no music, just the natural sounds of plates, cutlery, and people chatting. I didn't realize how much I missed that kind of atmosphere until experiencing it here. Even though it gets busy during dinner, especially in ski season, the restaurant is well staffed. One of the owners is actively involved, checking on tables and making sure everything is running smoothly, which really shows. We ordered the 'bonfile', 'lokum', and 'beyti', and loved all of them, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Portion sizes are normal by Turkish standards, but I'd recommend not ordering 1.5 or double portions. With all the 'ikram', you'll definitely be full. At the end of the meal, they truly go above and beyond: popcorn, roasted 'kestane' cooked on a stove in the middle of the restaurant, and a fresh fruit plate are all served complimentary. Even the small details stand out, the wet wipes and toothpicks they provide are clearly high-end, which says a lot about their attention to quality. All of this high-end service, food quality, and generous 'ikram' does come with a price. It's a bit more expensive than average, but absolutely worth it for the experience. We discovered this place last year and said, "We are definitely coming back." We did, and we're already planning to return again next year. This place absolutely deserves 5 stars, and it gets them.
