4.5 stars! What an experience!! "Turkish Nights" is a dinner…read moreand dance show that's popular among tourists, but it's definitely a great time for all! Upon arriving, there was already a huge spread of mezzes ready for us: potato salad, pickled vegetables, a red pepper dip, feta cheese, a cheese/tomato dip, bulgur with tomato paste, yogurt, fried eggplant, peanuts, bread, watermelon, and cigar pastries filled with feta. On top of that, there were unlimited drinks we could order from the waiter, including water, local red and white wines, raki (the famous Turkish anise liquor), juice, and just about anything else you can think of! And while we enjoyed all the wonderful food and drinks, the dance show begins! Unfortunately I had a back row seat, so it was hard to see many of the lively performances, but a few definitely stood out. There was a Turkish "wedding" dance in which the dancers pulled in a bunch of audience members to play the roles of bride and groom; and also a belly dance, in which the belly dancer pulled in a bunch of men from the audience and made them belly dance too! What a great (and hilarious) time! And then, towards the very end of the show come the entrees. I tried the lamb and the beef stew, which each came with a scoop of rice, along with a few vegetables and fries. Not bad, but in my opinion, the entrees (relatively small portions) definitely paled in comparison to the huge spread of mezze!

This was the restaurant we were told about while buying our pottery a few shops down. We were…read moregreeted and seated very quickly. It was nice having the restaurant to ourselves so we could talk to the owners and workers. They were happy to show us the soups available as well as letting our children watch the food being made. My husband order his usual lamb chops. He said they were some of the best he has had in over a year here. My boys shared a plate of chicken śiśh. Their food was plentiful with both boys eating and having left overs. I was very pleased with my chicken pottery meal. My pottery dish was filled to the max with fresh onions, green peppers, tomatoes, spices, and chicken. It was delicious! (I added a picture on here already).

Bizim EV Restaurant, Avanos, Turkey - May 30, 2024 We ate…read morehere as part of a tour group. The atmosphere was otherworldly, cavelike. Like a scene out of Starwars maybe. Staff were attentive. Wine flowed fairly consistently. I would have liked a little quicker wine service, but we were a large 30 person group, so I was forgiving. We had lots of small appetizer dishes leading up to a flaming hot pot beef. Great presentation and tasty flavors.

What from a distance looks like a burial mound is in fact a VERY memorable restaurant. The space…read moreinside is vast and beautifully carved out of volcanic tuff. The decorations are very apt, and the dining areas resemble five spokes of a wheel (the sixth being the entrance hall), with the hub used as a dance floor in the evening. I was with a group of 21; our guide ordered for us, what in Spain would be a "menu al día," where each of four courses came with a choice of two or three items. Each was delicious and served by a wait staff that was really hustling, as each "spoke" of this restaurant holds about 60 diners, and all were practically full to capacity. Fortunately they have a well trained and motivated staff that just kept everything coming. THIS is where to take someone to impress them in Cappadocia!
