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.

What do critics say about food in Çankaya?
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.
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 stuffed meatballs and yağlama (a type of Turkish flatbread) are edible. The others are standard. The tea is good. We tried 4 different dishes. The yağlama was excellent, no flaws. The stuffed meatballs are nicely boiled. The portion of the su mantı (a type of Turkish dumpling) was good, but the filling was sparse. The meat gyoza (another Turkish flatbread) was juicy inside and good, but the outside should have been a little crispier. Worth visiting. Definitely don't leave without having tea. It's among the top 10 teas I've had in Ankara.
The place is unpretentious, the appetizers are nice but not very visually appealing. The complimentary items are few, the meat is tasty but the portions are small, you try to fill up by eating a lot of bread. It's okay to go if you're already full.
The burrata was quite good. It had a creamy texture and a delicious cheese. The tomato base underneath was a perfect match. Basil flavors were glimpsed throughout. The dough was soft and excellent. I recommend it.
