Unfortunately, it's not that special. It can't compete with the Zero Zero in Amsterdam. The bread is hard and salty, and the sauce is too thick, overpowering the cheese and meat inside. My suggestion to the chef is to soften the bread so we can actually eat it by biting into it. It doesn't need to be this crispy. The ingredients are quality, but the bread is weak.

It's a decent dish. The sauce is too thick with tomato paste, and the meat remains fibrous. The chef definitely needs to change this sauce; even though the meat is high quality, the sauce overwhelms and kills its flavor. It's served tender and hot, but because of its fibrous texture, you can't finish it. I probably won't try it again until the recipe changes.

A wonderfully tender dish. It's served hot, and I eat it every time I go. Because the meat is dense and lean, you can't eat too much. Usually, one portion is enough for two people. Although it's a little low in salt, adding more ourselves doesn't change the taste. It comes with a standard bulgur dish and a small portion of cold cuts. I think it's the first dish you'd eat here without hesitation.

This was truly the most delicious Adana kebab I've ever had in Ankara. It's made from 100% lamb. The moment I touched it, it fell apart. It melts in my mouth too. It's slightly salty, and meat is naturally salty. The fat content is just right. A slight spiciness – everything was exactly as I wanted. The side dishes were also very good.

İlk etapta fiyatından dolayı çekinmiştim ortalama bir kfc veya popeyes menüsünden bir tık daha tuzlu fiyatı vardı ,yanımda bir hanfensi ile birlikte gidip ikili menü almaya karar verdik ,ve tavuğun bolluğu hemen göze çarpıyor ,ekmeği ise tavuğun tadını bastırmak yerine açığa çıkartması iyi olmuş ,tavuktan söz açılırsa gayet bol ve dış kısmı çıtırcıklımsıydı ,üzerine ise güzel bir sos sıkıyorlar ,yanına ise gelen patatesler baharatlı ama güzeldi ,hatta verilen sarmısaklı mayonez ,ketçap ve yine özel soslatına banınca güzel oluyor ,tek sıkıntı maalesef içecekler popeyes gibi büyük pet bardaklardan değilde metal kutu kola felan veriyoelar,yanına istediğimiz ekstra tavuklarda acısı ve susamı iyiydi (ikili menü olarak iyiydi)

The lamb shank portion was large, and much more meaty than shanks I've had elsewhere. It fell apart the moment I put a fork in it. I really liked how it was cooked. I couldn't figure out the point of the mashed potatoes here. The rice wasn't that great either. I also ordered a half portion of beef tandoor. That was good too.

Grape Dessert

GOURMET SELECTION

This dessert is made by combining Kalecik Karası grapes and cheese, sprinkled with hazelnuts. The Kalecik Karası grapes and the cheese underneath are truly delicious. The slightly tart taste of the grapes is complemented by the sour taste of the cheese, and the hazelnuts take it to a whole new level. However, the grapes still contain seeds, and if you chew them while eating, everything suddenly becomes bitter. Therefore, if it's not meant to be eaten, I would expect it to be omitted.

Sarhoş Sucuk

GOURMET SELECTION

Here, with so many varieties and flavors of sausage, choosing the right one is crucial. This shop has done a great job with this dish. The reason the sausage is so intoxicating is because wine is added during cooking and roasted in this way. The sourness, bitterness, and spices of the wine and sausage complement each other beautifully.

What is BiteCritic?

BiteCritic is a food review platform that rates individual dishes rather than restaurants. Every review is about one specific dish at one specific place, so you can find the best version of whatever you are craving instead of guessing from a venue's overall score.

How are dishes rated?

Each review gives one dish a single score out of 10, based on taste rather than atmosphere or service. Reviewers can add photos, the price they paid and the date of their visit. The score on a dish or place page is the average of its reviews.

Who writes the reviews?

Reviews are written by members of the community, and every review links to its author's public profile. You can follow the critics whose taste matches yours and see their latest reviews in your own feed.
