Duveroglu is a must visit location when you are in Ankara. Original location is in Genclik caddesi,…read morebut it usually gets crowded there so we visited the Bilkent branch. This branch has modern decoration and ample seating options. Servers greet you as soon as you walk in, and serve you with various mezes including Ezme and tursu. They bring hot icli köfte to the table and it is excellent -- thin outer later and delicious filling. We had Antep lahmacun which was also excellent but we have to come back to try their doner, kebabs and desserts.

Günün şartları içerisinde kulaktan kulağa iletilen bu lezzet noktası yıllar içerisinde ne tat ne de uygun fiyat politikasından vazgeçmeyerek Gaziantep ilimizin o geniş ve muhteşem mutfağını Ankara'lı hemşehrileriyle paylaşarak büyüdü. Bugün üçüncü kuşakta dahil olmak üzere tamamen bir aile şirketi olarak büyümeye devam eden kuruluşlarımız tekstil, perakende, toptan gıda ve restorantlar zincirleri olarak devam etmektedir.

Kind of overrated, but stil a good place to try Turkish dishes besides kebabs.read more

For those market places in all around Turkey, as in Anafartalar Çarsısı shop owners and surrounding of it and bureaucrats in old Ankara used to come this place since 1956. Although it changed it's character and turned out a bit more "touristic" nowadays, this is a unique sample for tasting great Turkish foods. It is not only kebaps or döner in Turkey. You can see here what else we have .

One of my favorite locations in Ankara. They have opened multiple franchises in recent years but my…read moretop three Uludağ's are this one, the one in Ulus, and the one in Çayyolu. The mall locations are limited in their atmosphere, service quality. These take away from the Uludağ experience. We usually begin by ordering baba ganush (patlıcan salatası), ezme (think salsa with mild heat), tulum peyniri (Turkish feta on steriods), bulgur covered köfte with walnuts (içli köfte) and a seasonal salad (mevsim salata). I have dreamt about how good their patlıcan salata is while looking for middle eastern food in the US. Then we go for the 1 portion Uludağ Kebap. They have extremely high quality beef which also keeps us coming back. They have the option to order this without extra pide (but this is not the best time to diet). They have servers hanging out with melted butter and tomato sauce that come around and ask if you would like some (you say yes to this too). When all this done, we go for a künefe (think shredded pastry with melted mozarella on the inside, cooked with butter and syrup) topped with ice cream. The 45 minutes it takes to heat one of these is one of the happiest waits you'll ever have. The massive trees in the garden and the pool side tables at this location only makes the plethora of taste better. They have parking too.
