MEAT DISH

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.

Aftat· Afyonkarahisar Merkez/Afyonkarahisar

I don't know if it's because I ordered the cherry-flavored one, but I didn't like it. It's a very sweet dessert, and the cream on top made it even heavier. I didn't eat it even though there was tea. I wish it tasted as good as its color.

Afyon Gamze Sucuk Döner· Afyonkarahisar Merkez/Afyonkarahisar

The bread isn't too heavy, the sausage is fatty and delicious. The ayran (yogurt drink) was also very good. The portion is sufficient; you won't be full if you eat a wrap. The place is packed, but the food is great.

It was the most delicious fish I've ever eaten. They sell huge fish by the kilo and grill it. It's supposed to be boneless, but there were bones in mine. Still, the taste was amazing. The portion was quite large; we had trouble finishing it. It was also very tasty and fatty. If I go again, I'll definitely order this again. The price I added is per kilo, just to clarify.

I don't know the exact name of the appetizer, but it was one of the most delicious things on the table. A tangy cheese and greens. I don't know what it needs to be better, but it gets a pretty good rating.

It was really spicy. The yogurt tasted good. I don't think it's a suitable appetizer to go with raki. The portion was small.
