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.

The ground floor was originally used as stables and storage area. The upper levels were the living quarters. Its one year long restoration and redecoration were completed in 2004. Meals are served on round tables on the floor. You can enjoy dishes sitting on cushions around the round table. The most popular dishes are homemade mantı (Turkish ravioli), kurufasulye (dried white beans) and testi kebabı (pottery kebab). Traditional desserts aside and kayısı tatlısı are worth to taste. Dibek Restaurant also serves homemade wine. And it was good.

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. It was a great way to end our trip to Goreme.

Relatively inexpensive for Cappadocia (where everything else seems overpriced and a tourist trap), and the pizza was all freshly made. Come for lunch - you'll be in and out quickly and you'll leave full.

We ordered the butter chicken, rice (you have to order it separately), butter and garlic naan, and a veggie dish. Best Indian we've ever had? Absolutely not, but it still hit the spot. A few things to note- the naan isn't thick, but flat. It's not as moist as at other Indian restaurants. Also, the Indian tea is NOT the chai you'll find in India. This one taste more like English breakfast tea with milk. Service was good and the space is large with clean restrooms. They also have free Wi-Fi. (Ask your server for the password.)

They have a large selection of Turkish and Indian food. I ordered butter chicken with rice biryani. Food was served within timely manner. The butter chicken was overwhelmingly flavourful; if your taste buds can handle it, try it! You will definitely need to order a couple orders of rice or nann! Also try their fried goat cheese, spicy and delicious! The service was awesome, too. Very attentive. Overall, this place is a solid 4.8 out 5. If I ever visit Cappadocia, this will be the place!
