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. Wonderful mezes followed by superb Turkish meatballs and Turkish raviolis (more like little tortellini). And at about half the cost of other well regarded restaurants.

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.

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!
