Duveroglu is a must visit location when you are in Ankara. Original location is in Genclik caddesi,…read morebut it usually gets crowded there so we visited the Bilkent branch. This branch has modern decoration and ample seating options. Servers greet you as soon as you walk in, and serve you with various mezes including Ezme and tursu. They bring hot icli köfte to the table and it is excellent -- thin outer later and delicious filling. We had Antep lahmacun which was also excellent but we have to come back to try their doner, kebabs and desserts.

Günün şartları içerisinde kulaktan kulağa iletilen bu lezzet noktası yıllar içerisinde ne tat ne de uygun fiyat politikasından vazgeçmeyerek Gaziantep ilimizin o geniş ve muhteşem mutfağını Ankara'lı hemşehrileriyle paylaşarak büyüdü. Bugün üçüncü kuşakta dahil olmak üzere tamamen bir aile şirketi olarak büyümeye devam eden kuruluşlarımız tekstil, perakende, toptan gıda ve restorantlar zincirleri olarak devam etmektedir.

He's from the Black Sea region and has lots to say about the quality of fish available in Ankara. The servers are exceptional and handpicked by Recep Bey.

For those market places in all around Turkey, as in Anafartalar Çarsısı shop owners and surrounding of it and bureaucrats in old Ankara used to come this place since 1956.

There were only two waiters and the guy who took our orders was unattentive and unwelcoming. He didn't even care to greet us and smile. He half-heartedly answered our questions about our selections. The food: we ordered mezgit and tekir. The portions were poor and scarce. The food tasted ok, it was not special. The atmosphere: only good thing about the place was the music. I like 60s and 70s groups. The location is great. It's great for a getaway. Türkçe: Hizmet çok kalitesiz ve gönülsüz. Masa örtüleri yırtık ve farklı. Çatal ve bıçaklar toz içinde. İşletme sahibi mekanda değil. Müzikler cidden hoştu. Mekan göl kenarında ve güzel. Sessiz. Ankarada su gören birkaç mekandan bir tanesi.
