Now my wife and are bit snobby when it comes to our 台灣菜(Tw food) as she is from Taipei and I went to school there- and both felt the food here was pretty legitimate especially considering where they are located. The wife had beef noodle soup which was well flavored. It was not the best one I'd tasted but very respectable. I had a spicy chicken dish which was good super spicy. This was welcome since most foods in turkey are just the opposite. Both our dishes came as a set with soup and some vegetables. Nice work!

This place was our pick with our group. All the food photos hanging at the front looked appetizing…read more I ordered lentil soup and seasonal salad. It was the worst lentil soup I tasted ever. There was strong flour taste to make it dense I believe. Salad had no oil and only one tiny lemon wedge at the side. I asked for olive oil but they said they don't have it. Instead they offered sunflower seed oil. We ordered meatball dish comes with rice and fries. Meatball was not tasty, there was a piece of hard and burned chunk of rice in the rice. You can see the picture below. Another dish was spaghetti bolognese. The sauce was pale pink and on top of spaghetti. When my daughter mixed the sauce the bottom of the spaghetti was watery. I mean everything was tasteless except the fries came with meatball. They did not charged for the soup since we returned it. We could not pay the bill with credit card because their post machine was not working. This place is waste of money.

The Ayran, freshly made was smooth and satisfying. The Kiymail, is similar to flat beard pizza without the tomato sauce and was very tasty. Even though it was in January, the weather was amazing so we sat outside to soak up the vibe. Servers were good and the food did not take long to come out. A bit of a tip, but ask your guide to call ahead to warm up the oven before you arrive.

They have heavenly appetizers which are called mezze. Apart from that they specialize in meat. They skewer an entire lamb or goat on a spinning rod and let it cook very slowly. Amazing taste, texture, flavor. Excellent service. Very reasonably priced.

I'm glad that we chose Gönül Hani to stop at since the food turned out to be delicious! The Food: - Pita/ Cheese Starters: The Pita here is so good, you can tell it's authentic and made on-site since it comes out hot! They provided goat cheese and butter to accompany the pita bread which we inhaled with just a few bites. - Coban Salad: Probably my favorite salad to get in Turkey. The tomatoes are extremely fresh and some of the tastiest I've had on my trip. - Eggplant Plate: I don't know how much butter they put into this dish but the result was soft, charred, eggplant with an exceedingly pleasant smokey flavor. - Adana Kebab: One of Turkey's classic meat kebabs. The kebab was cooked to perfection and just as spicy as I would expect Adana to come. Overall had a very pleasant experience! Service was great (they even let us take the complimentary leftover pitas home) and the prices were extremely cheap (compared to what I'm used to in New York at least). Would definitely recommend stopping here on the way to/from Pamukkale- it's right off the highway!
