Great place for dinner. Meatballs with hummus? Oh yeah! Wonderful service, cloth tablecloths. Tell waiter Fatih what state you are from and he will tell you the year it became a state. read more

It's easy to see why Sofra has such high reviews on Yelp! I came hungry for dinner. In front of the…read morerestaurant, there's a sign that says "Sulu Yemek Bulunuri " which translates to "There are juicy dishes". The owners were very welcoming and spoke English. They had recommendations on their menu and I went with their pottery kebab, which was an experience! They made a 1 person version for me which was sweet of them. The pottery kebab also came with bread, salad, rice, and apple tea! I was pretty full after. The pottery kebab was juicy and delicious. I'd highly recommend! Food was delicious and very reasonably priced (around 753 lira including a drink). I'd recommend for anyone around Ürgüp!

We had been looking forward to our group dinner at Ziggy's, and had the chance to meet the owner…read morebeforehand at his shop downstairs. What began as casual conversation about our respective countries -- Turkey and the US -- took an ugly turn when, completely unprompted and apropos to nothing, the owner stated that 80% of Jewish employees at the Twin Towers had called off work on 9/11, clearly implying that Jewish people had either been forewarned or were somehow complicit in the attacks. This is a well-known antisemitic conspiracy theory, and hearing it delivered so casually and confidently by a business owner was deeply disturbing. As for the food - I thought it overrated and not worth the visit regardless. On a positive note, we had a wonderful meal at Sofra, an understated, welcoming restaurant in town that we'd happily recommend.
We loved having lunch on Christmas Day at Ziggy Cafe in the beautiful town of Urgup. Here's why:…read more 1) Food: Every dish we ordered was excellent from the fava beans to the artichokes (the vegetable of the day) to the garlic chicken skewers to the cream pasta. Each dish was full of flavor and we'll presented. 2) Space: It's up a hill on the second floor of a beautiful building. The room itself is small but we'll decorated and with tablecloths on the tables. 3) Service: The older man and woman working there are very friendly and passionate about what they have created. The only thing to note is that it's more pricey than other restaurants, but worth it for good food.

The restaurant is tiny with only a few tables, but owner/chef Ismail will prepare, to order, an exceptional meal.

Overall I might be tempted to give a lower score, however I ordered the right thing. I think this is the most important thing, don't order the wrong thing. Also, the staff is slow. I'd you need something ask for it well in advance. If you need something, good luck. It's partly cultural and is partly them not being attentive. The food is just alright at best, the view is great.

I ate at Dimrit for dinner with a large group. Luckily, we scored a private room upstairs away from…read morethe crowded outdoor seating area. For about 60 TL/person, we stuffed ourselves with wine, freshly baked pita bread, warm hummus (so good!), lots of different meze plates, and a gut-busting amount of meat (including slow-cooked lamb in a clay pot - you get to break the pot!). I can't really say much of the atmosphere since we were in a private room, but the outdoor area seemed nice. The service was impeccable. I still cannot believe the amount of food we got, and how delicious everything was. If I lived in the Cappadocia region, this would become a fast favorite. I highly recommend it for a nice evening out!

But looking on two separate google maps they are essentially the same location directly across the street so I am assuming this is the place we ate at. We were in Turkey for two weeks and ate at many places. Both my wife and I agreed this was the best food we had during our entire stay. It is all the more amazing because they were notified only an hour earlier that our group of 25 people would be arriving and they gave us the royal treatment. The hospitality, warmth, excellent food and wine was just the best. A well deserved five stars and a beautiful facility.

We ate well; my dish was the closest thing to home... rice and stewed chicken with salad (the chicken plate with sauce). The other dish we ordered, the meatball kebab, was just okay -- not good or bad, just average. It's nothing fancy, we were looking for something affordable, and this delivered. They also brought us bread, and near the end we noticed it had mold on it... maybe it was just this one time, but I can't leave it out of the review.

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.

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.
