I ate 1.5 portions, which cost 660. The döner was good, but it was just a normal döner, not exceptionally great. I think it's overrated; I don't think this meal is worth the price. As for complimentary items, there was nothing; they only gave two pickles.

Sebo Dede Ekmek Arası· Çankaya/Ankara

I tried ribeye steak in bread for the first time. We decided to go because of the Insta Reels advertising craze. The place was packed at lunchtime, no seats available. It was like eating kokoreç (lamb intestines), but with meat inside. We added a ton of salt, but it was useless; the meat was neither too firm nor too soft. The bread was also full, but for this price, I think eating döner kebab would be a better choice. It was okay.

Finally, instead of that sauce-laden döner, we ate a real döner. The shop makes its döner over a wood fire. A huge döner, like a horizontal cag kebab, rotates at the back of the shop. You can see the döner at the back as soon as you enter. The place is small, so if you go during lunchtime, you'll have to wait in line. The tables are full at that time. The döner tasted good. The meat wasn't burnt, undercooked, or tough. I liked it. I will go again.

This price is for 1.5 portions. The döner was oily and salty. It was exactly as it should be. I liked it very much. I will come again. The appetizers on the table were weak, but the meat was quite good.

The chicken schnitzel on the left was like a classic schnitzel, nothing unpleasant. The thing in the middle with tomato sauce was a spicy pasta dish, and I liked the taste; I generally like things with tomato sauce anyway. The thing with green basil on the left was probably pasta, but it was soft and doughy, I didn't really like that. It was filling and delicious. It was my first time trying Korean food, thankfully I finished my plate, so the money wasn't wasted. It's worth trying, but if I go again I'll order something else.

I enjoyed the meal, but the first thing I thought when I finished was, "What else am I going to eat?" I wasn't full. I would suggest the restaurant increase the amount of rice. The taste was good and the meat was tender.
