It comes in alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. Served with a generous spoonful of rich, creamy filling, it's a true treasure trove of flavor.

What do critics say about food in Ankara?
The pastrami was beautifully cooked, perhaps a little too dry, but the combination of mustard and Kolot cheese used in the bread made it quite delicious and the 300g portion was satisfying.

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.

The crispness and the amount of pistachios were good. There wasn't an excessive amount of butter. There was no crystallization or freezing.

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.

The bagels are soaked in tandoor water and are sitting below. Yogurt sauce is poured over them, and on top of that, delicious tandoor meat is added. These three layers are beautifully connected.
