We came for the views and were not disappointed! There was open air patio and indoor seating options. One caveat about sitting inside by the glass windows yellow jackets that flew inside would keep trying to leave by banging into the glass. Staff eventually had to get rid of them. The menu was filled with Anatolian dishes with a good amount of grilled items. Our choices: Cokertime Chicken Kebab - First time having this style of kebabs. The matchstick potatoes, tomato sauced chicken strips and garlic yogurt was a great flavor and taste combination. It was delicious with the crunch from the matchstick potatoes adding a nice texture to a normally chewy kebab dish. Lamb Shank was grilled to perfection and the meat just fell off the bone. The bone marrow molasses sauce added a nice sweetness and richness. Lastly the barley risotto was a nice twist as creamy as if Arborio rice was used. Pumpkin Crème brûlée was finished in front of us with a mini torch. While a nice show the topping wasn't fully caramelized after all that effort. The pumpkin and crème brûlée turned out to be a tasty combination of flavors. Overall service was good and attentive. Would love to come back on a return trip 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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.)
