Food was good, very tasty. Had a selection of plates. They didn't have the lamb shank as it was soldout however the dips, lamb with rice and beef with rice were also very homemade type food. Better to sit outside in the fresh air without sitting next to other people with their shoes off. Reservation is needed. Service charge is automatically added to the bill.

5 star food, service and atmosphere. We didn’t have booking but they accommodated us (group of 6 with a baby). The food is spectacular too. We have the big meze and we couldn’t believe the taste of each sauce.

This is really cosy restaurant and the food is tasty. It’s very reasonably priced and family-run, giving it an authentic vibe. I had the lamb pastry and medium meze and left feeling full - the wine was also gorgeous!

Amazing!!!! Best place in Goreme. Incredible food, service and atmosphere. This place is small, so must make a reservation. They speak beautiful English so call them to make a booking. Loved every minute.

Delightful find. Get there early. Lamb shank was rich and fell off the bone. Beef strips (stew) was savory and moorish. Chicken was delightfully spiced. Mezes were all very good. The cookie cacao complimentary cake to finish was a nice touch.

Incredible service! We got the dinner plate to share as well as the chicken main and it was delicious. Definitely recommend booking a table as it was packed. We were the first ones to arrive for the dinner slot and we got there at around 7pm.

One of the best meals we’ve had on our entire trip to Türkiye. The ambiance of being a cave of a family owned house was matched by the excellent cuisine — particularly the mezze plate, which was delicious. Though we came earlier than our reservation time we were promptly seated at one of their lovely Turkish floor seating tables, and were never rushed through our meal even as business picked up by 8:30 pm onwards. Would love to go back!

Went to this restaurant for the Clay Pot (which you have to book on reservation). Very cosy place in an ancient building that used to be a stables. You sit on very comfortable floor cushions. Food was good and efficient service.

Absolutely obsessed with this place! 🇹🇷✨ The food tastes like true homemade Turkish cooking—fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. From the warm bread and meze to the perfectly grilled meats, every dish was a delight. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the hospitality made me feel right at home. A real gem for anyone who loves traditional Turkish food!

We stayed in Gerome for 3 days and choose to come here for dinner twice as the food tasted better than the other restaurants in the town. we came during low season (end October and wasn’t crowded) and didn’t need to make reservation. Although I think it is recommended esp if you want to eat the pottery kebab The food is great (worthwhile mention: pastrami humus, pottery kebab and rice that came with it). service is great. It is pricey but inline with all other restaurants we had in Gerome.

We ate the meat and chicken pottery kebabs, and they were tasty, good sized portions. We also got bread with pickled sides. The dessert was yummy too. Great atmosphere and experience.

The restaurant was recommended by our hotel as being the only one in town where they actually cook the pottery kebab in the clay pot rather than pre-cooking it in a different dish and simply serving it in the clay pot. While I haven't seen them cook the kebab, the fact that you have to pre-order the day before for a specific time makes me trust that claim (in other restaurants the pottery kebab was served 10 minutes after ordering). We really enjoyed the taste of both the vegetarian and the beef kebab and it was definitely better than in some other places. We also got complementary salad, pickled veg, and red cabbage, making the slightly high price more reasonable. I also liked the cave interior with cushions to sit on the floor. I can also recommend the house wine from Cappadocia.

The food was fabulous. Love the Testi Kebab (pottery) The beef was amazing. The service was great. Definitely recommend.

Overall food is good and the experience is authentic. The appetizer was cold inside so not everything is fresh but recommended to try the pottery kebab.

We went there on Thursday around 8:30pm (walk-in) in late June. What we ordered: - Beef main course (set menu, came with salad, soup and desert) - Chicken main course - Ayran (yogurt drink) - peach juice I could tell that their chef is paying so much attention to every single dish. Food was so good, texture was great, so flavorful, from complementary bread to side vegetables. We got so full after meal but enjoyed desert baklavas (that was the best baklava in this trip). People were friendly and professional. The price was inexpensive compared to other restaurants in town but quality was great. I will definitely come back.

This was a fantastic restaurant. The service and food were amazing. They have great wine and delicious food. The set meal was worth it. I loved my pot with lamb and beef. Can you tell?

Great restaurant. Very tasty signature kebab. One waitress is nice and good, but the other waitress is not very good. We came to open at 17:30, but it turns out that they don't work until 18:15. We wanted to have a good dinner before our flight, but we ended up leaving hungry.

My wife and I absolutely loved this restaurant—we ended up dining here every night during our four-night stay in Göreme because it was just that good. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the owner’s friendliness really added to the inviting, relaxed atmosphere. While the prices may be a bit on the higher side, the meals offer great value. The quality of the food speaks for itself—you can truly tell the chef is passionate about their craft. We tried the lamb chops, köfte, manti, stuffed squash, and the testi kebab, all as set meals. For us, one set was often enough to share, as they come with soup, salad, çiğ köfte, dessert, and tea. Our favorite dish was hands down the testi kebab—the meat was incredibly tender and flavorful. If you plan to try the chicken testi kebab in particular, it’s a good idea to make a reservation and pre-order it, as it seemed to require some advance notice. Don’t miss out on this gem when you’re in Göreme! We’re already looking forward to coming back on our next visit.

One of the best restaurants in Cappadocia! The chef is so lovely and the food is amazing. We had the beef and lamb pottery kebab, organic chicken, salad and baklava which were all a 10/10. You can tell everything is fresh and made with so much care.

We stopped in late on a rainy evening 3 weeks ago. Despite it being close to their closing time, the entire staff was happy to have us thenl. The food was incredible, it was our most enjoyable meal in.Goreme! We really appreciated the kindness of this family run restaurant!. Do yourself a favor & make a point of dining here while you’re in the area!

I’ll be honest: this place has me confused. It has amazing reviews so we were super excited but unfortunately it turned out to be the most touristy and commercialised spot we’ve been to in Cappadocia. The food is average, nothing noteworthy. The staff is decently nice but they’re not particularly attentive or friendly like some we’ve met elsewhere. Wouldn’t come back and wouldn’t recommend, sadly 🥲

The food here is 10/10 if you’re looking for delicious flavorful authentic Turkish dishes this is it. Plus the hospitality and service here is amazing. Everyone is every attentive and they were generous enough to bring us watermelon and tea for dessert for free. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Oh and there’s a lovely puppy who hangs out by the restaurant :) def plus

One of the best meals I had during this trip to Turkey was from here. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. The wings, kebab and apple tea were absolutely incredible. The soup was just okay, but overall the food was excellent

Authentic food, no tourist trap, after reviewing so many Google reviews we tried this place. We tried Hummus - really good. Manti Turkish ravioli - delious and generous portions sizes. Lentil soup was delicious and they were generous with bread. They offered complimentary Salad and potato dish: both were delicious. We spent 950 Turkish Lira for 2 person, this has been so far the best experience in Turkey. We love to go there again. The staff were very welcoming accommodating.

The restaurant was so kind to offer us the small dishes on the house, and I really enjoyed the potato dish one. The price of pottery beef was much more reasonable than other restaurants, which was 750Lira. Besides, it made me feel like dining at a local place, instead of decorated but tourism places. A great recommendation from TAIWAN🙌

Very authentic restaurant with AMAZING food! We received complimentary mezzes, and the tea was excellent. The staff were very attentive and the food was well worth the price.

"Friends, I believe many of the reviews for this place may not be genuine. They present themselves as representing regional and Turkish culinary traditions, but unfortunately, the dishes don’t seem to be prepared in the authentic way. For instance, the ‘testi kebab’ is not actually cooked in a clay pot as the name suggests; it’s prepared in a regular casserole and only placed into a pot for presentation. When we asked, the staff confirmed this. The pot itself was spotless — showing it hadn’t been used for cooking. I find this disappointing because it misrepresents our rich food culture. I sincerely hope that the authorities will look into this so that our culinary heritage is properly protected and represented. You can tell what kind of place this is just by reading the reviews from foreigners — locals don’t come here at all.

We went for lunch, we ordered testi kabab and Kofte . With Hummus. The food quality and portions are great . Very delicious and we enjoy our time there. The owner of the restaurant was super nice lady with friendly behavior. We recommend this place.

It was a very nice restaurant with views towards the city with the mountains in background. Looked amazing during sunset time. The terrace they have 270 deg view. In the evening it looks even better with lights of the city in the background. Food was great, specially the lamb, beef. Dessert was outstanding.

This restaurant is located on a hill with a beautiful view over Cappadocia, making it a very scenic spot to enjoy a meal. I ordered the pottery kebab, which was presented nicely, but at 1200 lira I found it a bit overprice. While the food itself was decent, I had expected a little more in terms of service — at least warmer or friendlier hospitality. That wasn’t really the case during my visit. Perhaps this is just the general local style, but compared to other places I’ve tried, the service felt less welcoming. Overall, it’s a good restaurant with a great location and nice atmosphere, but there’s definitely room for improvement, especially considering the price point.

This is a popular rooftop restaurant at Sultan Cave suites in Goreme. They have a large open seating bar and couple of levels of outdoor terrace seating with lovely views of Goreme and the valleys in the distance. Opening hours are 12pm to 10.30pm daily. Menu is a nice range of local and Turkish national dishes. We dined here during our recent stay in Goreme. Views were great. Our meal was just ok. On the occasion we had the mezze plater along with the Mutoncana, a stewed lamb with apricot, plum, raisins and sumac. The mezze was just fine, the lamb should have been better. It was prepared too quickly, leaving the lamb chewy and bland. The sweet ingredients salvaged the dish which on the whole, wasn't very good compared to lamb testi and other servings enjoyed elsewhere in Goreme. Service on the evening was very spotty, uneven and rushed. Our starter and main were served within 2 minutes of each other for example. Interestingly, prices were the same as what we found at Setten's sister restaurant Happena just next door at the Kelebek Cave Hotel. This is a reservation required restaurant with much nicer food and better managed all around service. Sort of gave us the feeling that Seten was designed for mass tourism by comparison. Mind you, the views at Seten are very, very good.

The only positive thing about this restaurant is the stunning view over Göreme. We waited around 40 minutes to be seated, but we already knew about the waiting time in advance, so that’s not the reason for the low rating. The hostess who showed us to our table was kind and welcoming. Unfortunately, that was the only pleasant interaction we had with the staff. Once seated, the service was far from what we’ve experienced elsewhere in Turkey. Our waiter was impolite, and it took almost an hour for the food to arrive. The food itself was just okay, nothing special or worth the social media hype. The lamb was decent, but the beef was tough and chewy. By the end of the meal, even though not all tables were occupied, the waiter never brought our dessert or came to clear the table. When we finally asked for the check, it became clear that our dessert was simply forgotten. Overall, it felt like the waiter just wanted us to leave as soon as possible. Another thing we didn’t appreciate was the automatic service charge included in the bill. We usually leave a tip everywhere we go, but in this case, we definitely wouldn’t have, given the disappointing service. Sadly, we wouldn’t return. The view alone doesn’t make up for the poor experience.

Seten Restaurant is a place where the setting, food, and atmosphere all come together to create an unforgettable experience. Rooftop has stunning views of the fairy chimneys and the surrounding valley. The service is attentive without being intrusive. I tried lamb cooked in a pot(mutancana) paired with a glass of local red wine. Was a bit surprised that included service in the bill.

Seten is set among a sea of fairy chimneys and served the best food we had in our entire Turkey vacation. If you only eat out once, make it here. No reservations are taken so get there early.

Came here to check out the testi kebab, was blown away by the view, ambiance & service. The testi kebab and the kofte were very yummy, paired with good rose wine and apple tea. We had a wonderful night.

I have been here 4 years ago and forgot to give this calm sanctuary a review that it deserves. Nothing has changed since my last visit. A beautiful location with a very friendly family that runs this Restaurant with all of their heart. You feel very welcome. I bought my partner here this time and we both agreed: It was the best meal we have had on this 9 day trip in Turkey. If you come bring time and patience since everything is made fresh to order. You will be rewarded with delicious home cooked food. Thank you for another great experience! 🙏

Friendly family owned restaurant with nice freshly made food, a friendly owner and family running it, and well made food for a really good price. The views of the town and valley below are also amazing. Worth the short walk from the center of town to come to this relaxing and quiet setting away from the tourist hussle of the centre of town. Make sure to try the various Borek dishes available, they were great!

Really and truly please make this a stop on your vacation. I’m into authentic experiences and delicious food and this hit every mark. Just walking up to the location was breathtaking. I also want to say that I appreciated the cost of food compared to the tourist traps in the town. If a restaurant has to tell you to dine, it’s probably not that great. They had people hiking up the street to come. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Location was AMAZING, food and service was even better. Felt super traditional, is run by a lovely family who speak amazing english. Waiter was super friendly, and his dad was even friendlier, ordering us a Taxi to get home. Wonderful location,food, ambience and people !! 100% recommend

Stunning views over Goreme, beautiful and warm family run restaurant who take their time to chat with you and serve delicious food! They do make everything fresh so it can be a bit of a wait but their cat will be sure to entertain you whilst you wait. We came back three times in five days.

From the food to the setting and service, everything was incredible. They serve delicious, fresh, authentic Turkish food that elicits feelings of nostalgia. We had mantı, gözleme, börek, and çoban salad. Kaan served us and was a wonderful host. So warm, welcoming, and friendly. Strongly recommend this place.

You know how its a must watch balloons when coning to cappadocia , well its a must to try the food here at Nazar Borek & cafe. It has such an authentic Turkish flavor and the feeling of eating here where you are surrounded by the valley with a stunning view. The family hosting the place were so welcoming and made it feel like home.

Tried this restaurant for the first time, and I’m really glad I did. The food was full of flavor and cooked perfectly — everything we ordered was delicious and nicely presented. The place has a warm and welcoming vibe, perfect for a relaxed lunch or dinner. Staff were very friendly and provided great service throughout our meal. There are also lots of great promotions going on. Will definitely be back again soon

Amazing food! My favorite restaurant in my two weeks in Turkey! Had a great experience so decided to come back and we were received with the warmest welcome. Special mention to Hakki, he recognized us even before we arrived and he made us feel like home. Every dish was delicious

Friendly staffs. Have our late lunch here. We had a cheese mushrooms and lamb kebab in pottery. Cheese mushrooms is quite yum but the lamb kebab is less flavorful. Overall good dining experience. Cost us around 1700 lira from the meal.

Great option for a variety of authentic Turkish dishen when visiting Cappadocia. Restaurant is centrally located in the middle of downtown Goreme. I had dinner dinner and breakfast and the food was excellent. Staff was friendly and helpful when ordering since we were not familiar with Turkish cuisine. Highly recommend.

I recently visited this restaurant and had a wonderful experience. The customer service was excellent, and the staff were very attentive. I would especially like to mention Barish and Emin from the floor team — his communication skills and friendly attitude were impressive. He made sure everything was perfect throughout my visit. Overall, great service and a pleasant atmosphere!

Nice restaurant with nice atmosphere,the staff here, everyone very nice and willing to assist, and I would love to Thank you to Emin and Kamil for their hospitality, we impressed with everything here, definitely recommended to anyone who looking for nice restaurant here.

It's was amazing specially Mr Hakki. He was a very good host. We love the food and their hospitality. They gave us lots of complimentary foods. I highly recommend them.

Great service, great food. We had a brief chat with the owner. Prices for meat in Turkey are rising exponentially which is why food prices are catching up. Nonetheless, the restaurant earnestly tries to serve good food at an affordable price without scrimping on quality. We loved the kebabs and the salad here!

This is a casual local restaurant along Uzun Dere Caddesi in the heart of Goreme. They have indoor and outdoor seating and are open from 11am to 10.30pm daily. Menu features local cuisine along with some Turkish classics. Prices are reasonable, portion sizes good and service on the whole, quite friendly and timely. We had an early dinner here recently and found the local style Lamb Testi (Pottery) serving to be very good. Lamb was stewed nicely with tomato, garlic, onion and spices, making for a succulent and delicious serving along with some rice and salad. We also tried the Lamb Shish that was just ok. The lamb was quite dry and on the chewy side. Same rice and salad served. This was much less enjoyed to the Testi. Would order two of these next time around.

Every dishes we order were delicious!! and it is a lot cheaper than the others restaurant. Our dishes come with rice and salad. The atmosphere and the service is good. Would really recommend this restaurant

This is a local gem. It is off the main strip. Everyone orders an entree cooked in a clay pot. You should too. The meatballs and casseroles are popular too. Try the dumplings (Turkish ravioli). You’ll get a large plate of tiny dumplings accompanied with a little rich tomato sauce, yogurt and mint. We ordered mezzes too.

Very nice food, we really enjoyed the meatball casserole. Beautiful terrace and very calm atmosphere. Great place to eat in Göreme! Takes some time to get your food because they are popular and cook fresh meals.

We ate here 3 out of 4 nights as it was so amazing! The vegetarian clay pot set menu is the best! 10/10 also the lentil soup is top notch! We also had the vegetarian mousaka which was equally as good! These come with a beautifully dressed salad and rice. The ambience and the staff make it a perfect dining experience. Highly recommended.

We absolutely loved our experience at Cappadocian Cuisine. The owner—a lovely and welcoming lady—made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. We chose to sit outdoors to enjoy the serene view of Göreme, and although it was quite chilly, she kindly offered us throws and blankets, which we really appreciated. The complimentary bread was a nice touch, and we ordered the set menu featuring the pottery kebab along with a couple of drinks. It was our first time trying pottery kebab, and it was absolutely divine! Every component of the meal—the soup, salad, and rice—was delicious and well-balanced. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Göreme looking for a hearty meal and genuine hospitality.

Everything is amazing! Staffs there were so friendly. Especially Emir, a young service staff was incredibly kind and friendly. He explained the dishes, taught us Turkish language and asked us whether we liked the meal or not every time. We spent the memorable dinner at this restaurant :)

Had a lovely dinner meal here, the food was perfect & freshly cooked, full of taste. Service was really friendly & attentive. I really enjoyed the Pottery (Testi) beef kebab. Prices were slightly higher than some other places in the centre but I would say it is worth it. Would highly recommend!

This restaurant is amazing! Everything was perfect! Found via Happy Cow for vegan selections. We had a spicy dip, a salad, and a vegetable clay pot. Also, a very tasty Baklava for dessert! As great as the atmosphere and food were, service either makes, or breaks a meal for me. In this case, the staff were outstanding! It is rare that I shake my waiter's hand after a meal, but this young man deserves all the praise that I can bestow. We have been in around 15 countries in the past 6 months, and this restaurant will be remembered for a long time as a quality experience!

Our second meal in Cappadocia was here. Emir was the person who served us, he was pretty friendly and patient with us! And the food here were all delicious, especially for the pot experience was the most impressive part. Thank u for the service!

We had the pottery kebab and hummus with shrimp which were both delicious. The atmosphere of the restaurant was warm and friendly, and our server Emir and another gentleman who spoke some Japanese were very attentive. Would definitely recommend when visiting Goreme/Cappadocia.

A really nice and cozy restaurant with the best food we had in Cappadocia. Very authentic! Our waitress, Emir, was extremely friendly and kind. Highly recommended!

Amazing experience overall. The restaurant is beautiful and has a great ambiance. The food is tasty, and the home wine! I wish I could buy it back home. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect place for a Turkish dinner. I had the cheese and spinach Gözleme which was delicious and a big serving. The baklava was also delicious. The owner was very lovely and gave me a complimentary tea.

We arrived thinking we had booked but the lady didn't find our name. Thankfully they had nobody in. It is a family run cafe with a very friendly family so we decided to help on the kitchen as there was only one old lady cooking for 16 of us. Nice food and good atmosphere

Very nice parantha style bread, boregi stuffed with potato and onion. Kunafa is very tasty. Recommend. The owner is very nice as well. Kind.

Restaurant run by a grandpa and grandma. He has a tough time calculating. So please help him with the final bill. Otherwise you could get overcharged. Food is good.

The lentil soup, bread, and cheese salad was SO delicious and perfect for me, a vegetarian. The cafe is in a quiet spot and the front porch is lovely. Thanks for a wonderful meal!!

I had the spinach and cheese pancake It was really good. The prices are reasonable. They have decent number of vegetarian options. I'll recommend this place.

If you're over (or under)whelmed by all the glitz and promises of the other places in town, walk past them and come here. The food is delicious, the prices are very reasonable, the hosts are delightful and the space is relaxed and comfortable. Real turkish food and hospitality at it's best. I will go back every day i'm here.

Small airport clean, but food is crazy. Small bottle of water normally 5-10 lira here 130lira. That's up 23x times more expensive than some in cappadocia. A premade days old sandwich (18Euro)800 lira. That's a disgrace. Genuinely don't know how this is allowed. Do what the locals do pack some food or get something after your short flights as this is not really an international airport

Good airport. About an hour drive from Goreme,Cappadocia. As far as I have seen, very few flights from the airport which makes the security and check in process much quicker. Airport security and staff is friendly as well. There's one small restaurant which has pretty basic options for a quick snack, even though it felt slightly expensive. Washrooms are nice and well maintained.

This is a very small airport, located about an hour’s drive from Göreme town. You can arrange local shuttle transfers to get here. Since the airport has very few flights, only about 3–4 per hour, the security check and check-in process are very quick, with almost no queues. I arrived 1.5 hours before my flight and found the time more than sufficient.

Small but organized, smooth immigration and baggage check. Well maintained and very clean. The only drawback is the pricy cafe after the immigration, so expensive and highly disproportional to cost of living in Cappadocia.

This is a small airport serving the city of Kayseri, and it's an entry point for those who want to visit Cappadocia. The experience of check-in and security clearance was smooth. There is only one cafe in the transit area, and expect it to be pricier than the city.

One small retail shop and one coffee shop, both completely empty because they charge $7.50 for a soft drink. A microwave hamburger in cling film was available for $23 and a chocolate muffin for $13. As with all Turkish airports, and many in the Middle East, you must take all your electronics out at the airport entrance for the scanner, and then again around 40 metres away when you go through security.

Lovely new and clean airport. Espresso cafe is the only place to get a refreshment or snack. No airport lounge. BEWARE the prices - 795 Lira ($20 usd) for a small Americano and iced latte - this is an outrageous rip off! A Dubai cookie is $20 usd 😡🤣. Do better Kayseri airport!
