Visited here. For a quick lunch after visiting the museum and hanman nearby, staff was so friendly. Though no one spoke English (however I am in Turkey. I should grasp their language a bit better.)
The restaurant has no Wi-Fi, but they were super attentive. Even wrapping up my food for me, with the meal I was I was getting scammed thinking I’d order a whole chicken instead of just one piece however when when the bill came, it turns out the price is were just for huge portions.
Without even asking, they gave me multiple cups of tea and wrapped up all my food for me so that I was able to take it with me through my journey. I don’t know if I’ll be back, but I encourage anyone in this area to go here for a cheap and delicious lunch .
The most tender meat and tasty food I've had in Gaziantep. 10/10
First of all the location is great. In addition, Appetizers are good , pide. Bread which is fresh and delicious served with kebab.
It has some negative points as well
1-I ordered meat kebab , unfortunately it served cold!
2-Garson and the person who took the order were not friendly.

FOOD POISONING!
As you can see, I almost exclusively use my Google account to leave positive reviews, but I feel it my responsibility to inform others that this restaurant is not fulfilling its responsibility in regards to food safety.
Yesterday, 6th of July. around 17:00 I sat on the top floor with a castle view and ate the ali nazik kebab with its included meze plates and drank a glass of ayran. I include a photo I took of my meal for proof.
Within 2-3 hours after consumption I began to experience symptoms and spent the entire night vomiting and with diarrhea; barely able to sleep. I actually just had to take a break from writing this as the crippling nausea continues.
I advise everyone to avoid this restaurant so as to not put at risk your long-awaited and high-cost holiday, as I unfortunately have. I wish I would have read the bad reviews before, from others who I now see have suffered the same. Local health authorities apparently need to visit this establishment!
I do want to note that this is my 6th visit to the wonderful country of Turkiye in the last 4 years. I have eaten many meals, at many restaurants, in the cities of Istanbul, Goreme, Bodrum, Kas, Fethiye, Antalya, Erzurum and Kars, and never have I had this kind of problem. Its ironic, and really a great shame, that the first time happens to be in the culinary capital of Gaziantep. What an immense disappointment. As a result, I will have to cancel the tour I had planned for today to visit Rumkale and Halfeti. My health is not good enough but to stay in bed, and near a washroom.
I hope restaurant management will give my case due seriousness.
The food was good, no doubt, and very affordable as well. The liver and Ayran were just about 100 lira.the service could be better, more attentive, and I wished there was a menu. However, I came for the liver, but no menu meant I didn't know my choices of liver.
I would come back for the food and unfortunately have low expectations for the service.
BTW the food looks like a little but I could barely finish it.
