This was a restaurant I saw frequently on social media. I had just finished my spa and Hamman treatment and was ready to eat. I was greeted outside by staff welcoming me inside just like other restaurants in the area. I was seated right away and warmly greeted by several staff. There were several men dressed in suits ready to attend to their table. The restaurant was big, clean and well lit. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I noticed mostly tourists but did see a few locals sitting and eating. Of course, I wanted to beef stew in the clay pot. I also ordered a side salad. They brought out this huge piece of bread that was hot, soft and delicious. When my food was served, it was truly an Instagram moment. The server performed for my phone and it was cool to witness in person despite seeing it several times online. Now to the real deal, the food. The food was absolutely delicious. I ate everything on my plate. Another thing that stood out for me was how hard working the cooks and the guy who baked the bread were working in the back. I acknowledged them and thanked them for the amazing meal. This is definitely a place to check out not just for the pics but the food was really worth the visit. read more

This restaurant had the best chicken shish kebab we had on our whole trip!! I was quite unsure about eating here since it looked pretty touristy and full of foreigners - usually a sign of subpar food. However, the food blew me out of the water! The service, and specifically our server, Mehmet, were incredible and amazing!! The chicken shish kebab was incredibly soft and juicy. A mini wrap with the white sauce, pepper, lemon, and parsley was heavenly. I could've eaten that all day, every day - Wow!! The falafel was perfectly fried and so very fresh. The lentil soup was hot and light and hit the right spot on a cold night. The bread was incredible and completed the meal. We had such a great experience here! Absolutely do not hesitate to eat here when in Kapadokya! read more

Large outdoor area and inside also had a lot of seating. Staff is super friendly and helpful. The pita and yogurt and dill dip they give us super tasty. We had the meatball casserole and pottery baked beef kebab. The kebab was flavorful and the best thing I've eaten while in Türkiye. The meatball casserole was also delicious.

Great dishes that taste homemade at a place with a good view of the sunset. The best dish here was the tender and flavorful lamb chops. The service was good, like all the restaurants in Göreme. read more

The stars on Yelp do not give this place justice. So good we came back a second time. First time we ordered the red lentil soup, mixed platter, mixed meat kebap, and the meat casserole. Red lentil soup was simple but had lovely flavor. We could not get enough of the eggplant from mixed platter and my friends that was with me does not like eggplant. Highlight was the meat casserole as it was very tender and the sauce married with the meat very elegantly. Second time, we tried the salt crusted chicken and the beef pottery kepab and wow were we surprised. The beef pottery kepab looks like a mushroom, but its really a beef stew in a clay pot with the opening covered with dough. It was a visual delight and tasty. The salted crusted chicken says you should order 2-3 hours ahead, but we ordered on arrival so it might depend on how busy they are as we went in November during low tourism season and were able to get one. It was an unforgettable experience. Out came a metal cart lit on fire with hardened clay. Waiter hands you a hammer to break open the clay where you will find a whole chicken inside. The waiter craftily cuts off a light salt crust and slices it open for you where you will find stuffed rice. It was tender and flavorful. You can take leftovers or feed the strays. Turkey is animal friendly and a frequent visitor cat at on my lap during my first visit. read more

We were here during COVID lockdown. They were so rush to just a take order, and were very unorganized. They let some people go inside, and some prohibit to go in even though there were still plenty of social distances room available inside. After we ordered food 30+ min for our order to be ready. However, they could not find who belongs our order, and looking for long time for us. We ordered those they told me come in clay, but it was NOT. They could mention it will not be in clay for take out. (Other restaurant were in clay even for take out). Food was overall ok. Forgot utensils.... Service could be better but since under lockdown, someway understandable. read more

I had chicken with cheese (that looked like lasagna but tasted like chicken tikka pizza with cheese). It was soooo delicious. The edges were burned but i guess it was supposed to be like that. My husband had chicken shish kabab and he liked it. Their bread was soft and fresh. read more

Expensive (like most restaurants in Cappadocia) but not the worst. I came here because it was conveniently located across my hotel and I was too hungry to walk a few more blocks for food. But I wish I walked a few more blocks because for the amount of time I spent waiting to flag down a waiter and getting my food, I would've already been asleep on my bed. Although the service was severely lacking, I can't rant about the food because it actually wasn't bad itself. I had the Chicken Shish Kebab and the amount of chicken chunks, along with the sides, were so abundant, I was pretty full at the end from washing it down with a cup of ayran as well. I didn't really like the super crispy wrap on the bottom of the platter--it felt like I was eating chips. Their ayran was the most expensive (₺5 for tea cup size) I've had throughout my stay in Turkey, but it was also the thickest and the creamiest ayran I've had, so it was well worth the price. I saw groups order this hot pot of food, which I'm guessing is one of their specialities. Note for food Instagrammers: food presentation is super photogenic. read more

We went there as a group of 25 and our tour company paid top dollars to enjoy traditional falafel and vegetarian food. I am disappointed to say that we didn't enjoy the food. On the positive side, they provided hot balloon pitabreads with hummus and veggie dip which looked very appetizing. However taste of food was below average because all dishes were missing salt. All of our guests had to add salt on top of all dishes to get some taste out of it. We served big bowls of rice, but we weren't sure what to eat it with. Their yellow looking vegetarian soup was tasteless as it missed salt and spices. The bi%est disappointment for us was the very slow service in serving falafels which is the key ingredients for vegetarians to make their sandwiches. However, they wouldn't serve them to us until 45 minutes into our lunch. Several of us had to yell at waiters to inform them that service was slow and food that was being served was totally disjointed. We don't think they really cared about customer service as they had already been paid. I would not recommend this place if u are looking for tasty vegetarian falafel sandwiches. We were disappointed. read more

Food was AMAZING!!! We ordered the vegetarian and beef pottery kebabs. They come topped with fresh bread, which is baked right on top of the pottery pots in the oven. Do yourself a favor, and stuff the bread like a pita with the rice and veggies, and/or meat! Delish!!! Add some warm walnut hummus, sub the rice for the bulgur pilaf and you are LIVING!! We also ordered the vegetable soup, which was good! Not sure if it's completely vegetarian/vegan though... read more

Most of the restaurants in Cappadocia are touristy and overpriced; don't expect the same quality and variety of food as in Istanbul. However, after being in Cappadocia for 3 nights, this place was not one of my favorites. It was not bad, but I wouldn't really recommend it or go again, especially not for the amount of money that we paid. As an appetizer, we got the buttered hummus with bacon which was alright - I've had better hummus and at ~18 Turkish lira, it was not cheap. I did like the braised spinach and tomatoes and the grilled mixed vegetables (a bit on the spicy side, just warning you), but I also hadn't eaten vegetables for 5 days so the vegetables all tasted amazing to me. We got the beef clay pot dish which was good, but nothing overly special. Their "special chicken" that is stuffed with rice and has to be prepared 4 hours prior is kind of a gimmick - kind of like the Nijo Castle of Cappadocia; they come and crack open this thick salt shell that covers the chicken, which is kinda fun, but then the whole skin of the chicken is super salty and you can't eat it. The chicken itself is moist and tasty, but not really much different tasting than rotisserie chicken, and not worth 80 Turkish lira in my opinion. All in all, not a super memorable meal, especially not at the price tags that they command. I think you can find better food in Cappadocia. read more

Worst restaurant ever...I visited this restaurant during my vacation in Turkey around may and I wanted share my experience with you. I live in USA and I visited this place with my wife and my mom and dad. I travel a lot and try different type of foods and visit places. First of all they brought a cheese plate as a complimentary item, cheese were that bad that I told the waiter please take them away you are embarrassing me in front of my wife and family. Meal was tasteless, bread was from yesterday or something was wrong w that. I would like to admit that location is perfect , middle of the city and walking distance to almost every fun staff. Because of the location, this restaurant is still exist. Believe me go find any local grocery store and buy some cheese and bread, make your sandwich. You will be more happy. Prices are overpriced due to touristic location. I can understand and expect them to be little pricey but you can find an another restaurant where you can eat , at least you can enjoy!!! Also service was terrible. Really!! You are in touristic place..it should be first goal to make your customer happy and represent Turkey well. I went 6 different cities during my vacation, and visited over 30 restaurant. This is the one where I most regretted to take my wife and my family. P.s: my wife's first time in Turkey. She loved every moment we spent in Turkey except this restaurant. read more

Wonderful surprise find. We Discovered it on the road in Goreme in Cappadocia while sightseeing in Turkey. Ali, the owner, is incredibly friendly and showed us how they make Teste Kebabi, known also as Pottery Kebap. Order it. Wood fire oven makes for the best slow-cooked lamb. Also ordered the home made Tamarind Sherbert Juice. Yum. read more

Our meze was some of the best we've had. However service wasnt great and the tomato served with our meze was mouldy/rotten in the middle. We put it aside and told the waiter at the end of our meal but he didn't seem too phased. Said he'd let the kitchen know. Oh yes, and no beer/wine/alcohol (if your craving a cold one). read more

Good enough for me to create and post the first review so 'nuff said. Happen to chance by the place with my wife during lunch time. The guy at the front was very enthusiastic and told us to try out his new restaurant. Service was prompt and the waiter spoke English. We have had our fill of testi kebabs and lamb casserole so opted for unique vegetarian dishes. Braised spinach and a hot buttered hummus dish (ok it had a few slices of bacon). Both tasted great and were a pleasant surprise. Personally felt it was up there with the rest of the top restaurants recommended by Trip Advisor here in Goreme. read more
