I stumbled into this restaurant after a grueling flight to Ankara. Hungry and tired I expected a quick sub-par meal. What I got was an enchanting, warm experience with absolutely delicious food. I wish this oasis was in Amsterdam - I'd be here regularly. I can't wait to go back and watch the time slip away while I eat yummy food and take in the environment.

Located in front of the restaurant, the garden is indeed large and like a sanctuary with its canopied tables and cozy seats. Lots of plants / trees and a fish-inhabited fountain make it charming. The street slopes upward so walls afford guests some privacy. I can't recall the food we actually ate because my friend and I were so disappointed that we were denied our first and second preferences.

The food offerings are kind of international eclectic, rather than Turkish. That is, it is mostly pasta, salads, sandwiches, and pizzas. The dishes we ordered were very good and portions were ample! My fettuccine with chicken & spinach was perfectly done. The staff was very friendly and English was no problem. Don't miss the mounds of Turkish Delight as you leave. Better than an after dinner mint!
