Had just arrived to the Göreme and based off a few 5 star yelp reviews, we had to check out this…read morerestaurant. The ambience was nice, on a high hill top overlooking most the city. We had the option of sitting outside next to a fire, but not everyone was comfortable so we sat inside. The restaurant was quaint. The server did not really speak English so it was hard to get any real recommendation from him regarding the menu. We heard that the pottery kabob is a special here in the city, but it was our least favorite dish we ordered. Lamb chops were tasty, but I have definitely had better. We also ordered the chili chicken, that the other Yelpers had talked about, which was good, but not great. All in all it was a normal dinner, with nothing really special to write home about.

The appetizers my friends ordered included the soups were pretty good, the stuffed mushrooms were meh, stuffed pastry of some sort that nobody was impressed by. Ok.. To good stuff.. In Cappadocia you gotta do they clay pot stew. It was solid - good assortment of veggies and flavor with rice. High prices for Turkey, but it's a touristy spot! Great view, but wouldn't come back.

They had recommendations on their menu and I went with their pottery kebab, which was an experience! They made a 1 person version for me which was sweet of them. The pottery kebab also came with bread, salad, rice, and apple tea! I was pretty full after. The pottery kebab was juicy and delicious. I'd highly recommend! Food was delicious and very reasonably priced (around 753 lira including a drink). I'd recommend for anyone around Ürgüp!

It was nice and bright on an otherwise dark night. The service was impeccable. The food arrived quickly and the servers were kind and knowledgeable.

Great food, great bread, great olives, amazing tea. Our server, Barish, went above and beyond. He spoke Hindi completely fluently, despite being a local, which made it feel like we were right at home! Barish was extremely attentive and such a highlight to the meal!!

Funny to find an organic restaurant in a city as small as Göreme. The place is adorable, and…read moreprobably the name and the ambience is what made us come in for a last dinner before heading out of Cappadocia. Nobody at the staff spoke English, which made it a little hard to order food. We ordered a meat pottery kebab, very traditional for this region on Turkey and a köfte. Plate presentations are very nice, colorful and organized. The pottery kebab comes in a pottery jar and it's opened with a little hammer. Taste wise it was ok, but I think both me and my friend preferred the köfte. Price wise is ok. It's a decent place to have a enjoyable meal, but there are much better restaurants in Turkey,

Really wanted a memorable Dinner and found it with the Beef Cheek served with Mashed Potatoes in a Reduction and "The Golden Pot" which is a Porcini Mushroom Risotto in I believe a Parmesan Sauce that did not drown the dish. The Beef Cheek, so tender, broke apart with just your fork. Slow Cooked for 21 hours according to the Owner. The Reduction had a nice hint of Pepper to add something extra. I also found out this Dish has been nominated for a Michelin Star. The Bulgar Wheat Risotto "The Golden Pot" had a nice mild Earthly flavor from the Porcini Mushrooms with that light Cream Sauce was how a this dish should be at every Restaurant. However, no one seems to get it right before dining here. Firm texture, not gummy, definitely not bland and overall just a very satisfying meal. I am not a Food Critic or a Chef nor do I pretend to have Grand Illusions of having ultimate Food Knowledge, but I spent 20 years as a Line Cook and grew up in a Kitchen learning from the best Cook I know, my Grandma, so I know good food and have always had a passion for it.

Roaming on the lighted decorated street of Goreme , Sophy's stood out . Also they were one of the few places with vegetarian/vegan burger option since we were tired of eating Turkish food Views were stunning and right in middle of the area with beautiful White cliffs all around. Service was slow of amount of tables that were occupied. The food was just Great. My wife ordered their vegan/vegetarian Burger with side of fries. The burger was exceptional but there were barely 10 fries which was disappointing. I ordered some Garlic mushroom chicken dish with side of fries and Rice. I would say the food was pretty different from when we were eating in Istanbul. Definitely recommend this place ! Day views could be even better !

They have both table and traditional floor seatings, and we opted to settle onto the cozy cushions on the ground. We ordered the medium mezze plate, chicken and rice, and grape juice. Every mezze was delicious, but my favorites have to be the eggplant and the spicy pepper dip. As for the chicken and rice, the chicken was melt-in-your mouth tender, but what surprised me the most was the rice. Although it may look like your standard rice, it must have been cooked in a rich chicken broth for it was incredibly savory! Overall, this was a unique dining experience.

Centrally located in Goreme around a lot of popular hotels. Warm, rustic, homey interior. Seating area consists of large tables and you sit on the floor over cushions. Shoes off before stepping into the seating area. Menu si known for homestyle cooking and an iconic dish is their pottery kebab. Meat is slow cooked in a sealed pot for 3 hours. The pot is then brought to the table, cracked open, and the contents poured onto a plate in front of you. Very aromatic, flavorful, and tender. They also make their own wine in house, which is a must try. Red wines are served cooler, though not cold. I also recommend the little little on the middle menu item as it consists of a lot of small shareables, similar to mezze, that you can enjoy along with your meal. Staff is very friendly. They even gave us a tour of the wine cellar which was really neat.
