This local restaurant is elegant yet casual and affordable. A little higher price than other places but still very reasonable and worth every lira. Have the baklava! Itâs very tasty. I had the chicken in saffron sauce and it was absolutely amazing! So fragrant, perfectly cooked in aluminum foil, tender and juicy. My friend had the 3-course meal with penne arrabiata, more like a 5-course meal! First they bring sundried tomatoes and olives with bread. Then your meal, and dessert. Order the amazing baklava, each order is SIX pieces! Split it between two people. They also bring an assortment of fruit. Now hereâs the interesting part ... the owner is Cuban so the music is not traditional Turkish. We loved it!!!! A beautiful restaurant with wonderful food and service! Sorry we didnât take more pictures!!!

Went to this cave restaurant twice for dinner. Loved the Testi pottery chicken kebab served in a pot with flames and grilled fish. Yummy and the bread there was fresh, wine was great too. Excellent service. My cat radar goes into the action everywhere in Cappadocia. Unfortunately, there is a resident cat in the restaurant. Thanks so much that serving staff were so helpful to look out furry animals and the restaurant manager, Seno Nomadic hid the resident cat in his car. I survived by showing this âkediden korkuyorumâ to the locals.

A short walk from our hotel we gave this place a go as it had a good vibe as we walked past the night before. The service was excellent, we were well looked after and the staff were really friendly and chatted to us a few times during the meal. In what appears to be Turkish style as the bread and dips were brought out, a few seconds later our starter arrived. Followed by the main shortly after. Not a problem with the style of food we ordered as it all went together (could have been annoying if you had a bigger starter to eat).Highly recommend the sausage, which was cut like a large salami slice and was stuffed chilli peppers and nuts. All the food was really good.Thank you so much for your beautiful comments and your suggestions. We hope you will come again to Cappadocia and come to our restaurant. Hope to see you again :)

We were brought here by our tour guide after arriving in Cappadocia via plane. It had been a long day, one flight after another. And the hot meals we had there were the perfect welcome for our first day in Turkey. My brother and I had grilled wings, husband had meatballs and I forgot what my parents had. But all in all, everything was freshly cooked, delicious and amazing. The bathroom was clean and cool too! Iâd love to go back there someday!thank you so much again we wait..
