One of the best Turkish restaurant I visited

Feb 2022 • business

My German colleagues brought me here as they said this is one of the best in Ankara and it was. Where to start? They have an amazing building with upper level catering to none alcoholic drinking ppl and the lower level to ppl who drink alcohol or foreigners. The service was amazing and the food as well. The starters were wow. The meat plate was tasty. They served us different type of desert free of charge on the house which was nice. The cost was very good for the entire dinner. 6 ppl with a lot a lot of food and drinks we paid 150 euro. This place on my list to visit again when I’m back in Ankara.

Fresh dissappoinment...

May 2021 • couples

If you have a family/wife or spouses with you: AVOID!! The place reminded me of a Turkish TV serie Kurtlar Vadisi. I can never ever think or dare to eat there with my family again. OMG so disrespectful workers. When we asked for the receipt so we leave and so we pay... the guy called another customer ”fat and black” but black in N-word. That’s crime in EU. The pricelist is hidden... when you ask for the price list they will let you feel that you are NOT welcome.. Waiters screaming and shouting in the restaurant to eachother when taking customer orders... One guy in suit walking around the customers and disturbing. When we arrived in the place he came to ”welcome” us and tried to force us to seat and eat inside the restaurant because the terrace was for the choosen ones. After refusing several times and telling him, if no place at the terrace, we leave he gave us a table outside. Some people complain about prices.. i think prices were OK if you are European and 1€=10,5TL :))) like 2persons 380TL=35€ :) Overall not worth to. Turkish people may like this place but dissappointment for Europeans. In Turkish: Gitmeyin. Deymiyor. Allah orda ”entellektuel” takilanlara akil fikir versin. Yemegin kalitesi bildigin dönerci ama yemegin tanesi 150TL.... KR Turkish/European...

Great Foods! Great Service!

Oct 2019 • none

I was in Ankara with my family for about 10 days. I was introduced to this restaurant by a friend. Although location was kind of tricky to go by taxi, we tried it. Food (specially lamp leg) was great! we tried their kababs also. Foods come with appetizer and dessert. We went there two more times. We enjoyed foods, restaurant environment and the service.

Overrated

Jan 2020 • none

Doesn’t matter how good the food is, the service needs to be improved. Beware, they will try to bring you stuff you never ordered and put on your table. Don’t think that all is complimentary. Yes, it is delicious most of the time but in the end it’s an overpriced and overrated restaurant.

Should you really eat here?

Jan 2019 • family

It was an amazing experience! It was like a feast inside your mouth. Every thing in the menu is different. They have lots of food to choose from, mainly meat products. I wouldn’t recommend this place to a vegetarian/vegan but if you are not, you should totally check this place out

Meat Dishes and Recep Usta-Inseparable

Nov 2018 • none

It has been a good while since some of our friends, my wife, and I have been at this "meat restaurant." We loved its options of kebabs and other meat dishes, competently and most deliciously prepared. As I write this review, we have definite plans to visit the restaurant again, in Oct. or Nov. 2019. And, here are the other reasons why we intend to do so, in addition to its quality food and service: Away from our main residence in Germantown/Memphis, Tennessee, USA, we spend a good portion of our late Summer-early Fall months every year, literally "living" in a condominium we own, at an address right across from this restaurant (PARKVADI Evleri) and constantly watch all of its steady customers streaming in, especially for dinner dining. Furthermore, It overlooks an exquisite park valley (Dikmen Vadisi), and has a patio-dining facility, as well, in the most exclusive Cankaya section of Ankara, Turkey.

Excellent kebaps and local exquisite meat meals

May 2019 • family

You would not believe how tasty the food you order and eat. The salat, meats and the final sweets they serve are something else. The food you will experience is not easy to define. You have to be there. You would probably not forget for your rest of life. Firstly they offer you certain local tests and tasty freshenings you would probably love them all. Kaburga dolması is the main dish which includes softly cooked meat with special rice + almonds etc in it. Or you can have any kind of kebaps or tava which is a very soft grilled meat. The served drink ayran is something you may never had before. Very tasty....

Feasted like a king

Jul 2019 • family

Make sure you come to this restaurant hungry. We were seated in the outdoor area overlooking the beautiful peaceful garden. We ordered the lamb plater with rice set menu which included starters, salads, main meal, desert, tea and coffee and we won’t disappointed. The waiters were very quick and the food was impeccable presented. Value for money. Thank you.

Jul 2019 • couples

Malzemeler çok kaliteli ve işletmeciler çok profesyonelce hareket ediyorlar. Ne yerseniz çok lezzetli. Kuru dolma, kaburga, tava, gerdan güveç ve salatası benim favorilerim. Düzenli aralıklarla mutlaka giderim. /// Ingredients are high quality and the management staff is really professional. Every single dish is quite delicious. Doesn't matter whatever you eat.

Best

Jun 2019 • couples

This is a place we have been coming in on almost on a regular basis as it offers the best meat of local kebabs. Although most frequenters believe a local dish dubbed as stuffed ribs is their top dish, my experience tells me sac tava is the best no other place has ever beaten. There is a number of complimentary side dishes that accompany the main course including dessert, and once you pick your main dish just let the sequence of splendid presentation of their offerings roll out.Enjoy it and you will never regret.
