The waiters so kind and tea is free, prices is could be expensive a little bit. But I liked it atmosphere.
Food and environment are awesome. Excellent service from a young staff who can communicate with English customers. Been there two times in two days as it’s the best experience in Ankara.
Cafeteria-style restaurant serving good food, with excellent wait staff. The decor and service were upscale. The food is served quickly, and was hot and tasty. They don't have a menu, but the price was reasonable. Good idea to ask for the total amount after you order and before you sit down. --- Tourist from U.S.A.
This is one of the best restaurants I've ever ate at. It is located in Ulus, less than 10 minutes walking distance from Ankara's castle (KALE). The restaurant is spotlessly clean, the staff is nice and gentle, no English spoken. Once you enter, they take you to the kitchen window to see the display of freshly cooked food and choose. The recommended the Ankara Tava, which is a mix of white rice, vapour cooked lamb meat and tomates. Delicious and tasty. Then i opted for lamb meat wrapped in Aubergines, heavenly taste. The rates are nothing compared to other places in the world, even to Istanbul, almost 40% less than Istanbul. I paid approximately 12 US$ for two main courses, salad, soup, dessert, tea and water. VERY highly recommended.
