We were not disappointed at all. We started with an order of lahmacun. The thin pizza was cut in two halves and served with the usual greens and lemon. It was delicious, probably the best lahmacun we had while in Turkey. The minced lamb was flavorful but not too gamy. We also ordered the mixed grill platter which included several meats such as chicken, adana, lamb chop, etc. The adana was also outstanding, similar to the minced lamb on the lahmacun, it was very flavorful without the gaminess. The entrée included a good amount of meat for both of us sharing a couple of dishes, but if it's the only dish ordered then it's probably not enough to share. Lastly we had two pieces of kibbeh (10TL each). The kibbeh were so tasty and delicious, and don't mind the oil that may drip off the hot kibbeh as you bite into it, it's all good stuff.

We were created by a man singing and being overall very joyous. We were the first customers here and ordered a lamb and chicken kebab. He showed us the coals he used and the bbq set up that he had. Overall, our waiter/cook was the best part of the meal, but the food was also very good and the lamb was my favorite. The fries were also well done and better than the fries in the states, they have this Lay's original taste to it that feels natural. Great selection and location too since there were some taxis nearby to get us back to goreme.

Food is good, priced a little higher than restaurants in town but worth it if you get a good table (I had a great one). Service was adequate, but the lack of reservations (or a guarantee you'll get a good table) is always a risk. Surprised they wouldn't even let hotel guests reserve in advance.

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 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.

We all had the Elmacioglu iskender which is different than the regular one by having egg plant and inegol meatball. It was a quality one and we were all satisfied with it. But it was not so different than any other quality iskender you can have in other cities. We also had ezme salat to share. It was different than the eastern style with more tomato flavor. But it was certainly good. We had iskender ayran (yogurt drink). Goat yogurt made the taste different than the regular ayrans. Employees were helpful, but not cheerful and looked tired at around the noon time.
