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.

When we first went to Ankara, we discovered this place near our hotel and immediately fell in love with it for the great food, great prices, and great service. It's a fairly straightforward place, not super fancy (or touristy since this is not a very touristy area) but a very nice, clean, comfortable modern restaurant. The food is excellent and they specialize in "tereyagli" dishes, which means, literally, "buttery." These are a class of dish, the most famous of which is Iskender or Bursa Kebap, which often have doner meat with tomato sauce in some combination, sometimes with bread of some sort, and drizzled in the end with hot clarified butter. They also have pide ("Turkish pizza") and some other things. The prices are very reasonable, too. Our first time in Ankara, we ate dinner here every night.

Kind of overrated, but stil a good place to try Turkish dishes besides kebabs.read more
