The most delicious kofte in the city! Fantastic the restaurant, everything is super tasty and fresh. Food is great and man who’s working here gives the best service possible.
We’ve been eating here during all trip to Cappadocia, totally recommend to everyone!

Amazing food, served by a cute old man who opened the restaurant 30 years ago and still working and serving. If you are visiting Cappadocia & you love wine and steak then it’s the restaurant you are looking for.
Food is super tasty and you would know it’s made from the freshest ingredients. Music makes the atmosphere more lively and upbeat. The ambience gives modern industrial vibe. Food (burgers) were served fast. 👍 Impeccable service both from Haji and Yuri!
The food was delicious especially the smile burger. Very juicy! Highly recommend!
The chef was very kind and everyone was nice. If you’re looking for a good burger and steak, this is the place.

My wife and I enjoyed our dinner very much at Smile Steak House: the food was amazing, and the service provided by Haci was super warm. Totally recommended!!
Very tasty food.. I ordered tenderloin with mushrooms sauce and the chefs steak
We had great experience at here! Especially Ruka helped us very well. She explained us about menu with her great knowledge and great hospitality.
I had T bone steak, it was delicious! Not too fatty but juicy.
And they gave us Baklava as service and it was also really tasty!
I totally recommend everyone come to this restaurant!!

Went here on new year's day for lunch after reading the great reviews. I know my food and the meat was perfect. Opted for the lamb chops and rib eye. Cooked to perfection. Service is good and we got helpful advise on the most suitable cooking style for the particular pieces. Baklava was yummy! View is great as well!
Food are excellent! We tried 4 different steaks for our family and local dessert with pischtacio ice cream. The service was also great, unfortunately we didn't get the name of the person who served us. Also we are really sorry that we were forgotten to leave some tips as we were unprepared with cash, but they still provided great service anyway. Really recommend this place.
Steak was great but not the best I've had, very slightly overdone. Fries were fresh and were awesome. Overall the food, ambience, and hospitality were great. Prices are indicated clearly on the menu, expect the 10% service fee.
My friend and I went here for a late lunch. We were served by George. He was very accommodating and really gave us a VIP experience. So friendly, recommended what was best on the menu. We decided on the Rib eye aged steak and also got Baklava, they were both beyond delicious. Great place for photo ops inside and outside (they have a rooftop terrace). Good for instagram. In addition, the vibe is very relaxed and you can enjoy your time there with good company. Would highly recommend coming here!!
Had a very lovely, serene birthday celebration at the restaurant. The waiter/chef was kind enough to put a candle on the mashed potato for me to blow. Short waiting period for the food, which tastes great. Serving portion was generous as well. Would very much recommeded.
Oscar’s is located on a hilltop and offers panoramic views of the fairy chimneys and the surrounding landscape. And the food is just as stunning as the views. The staff is very friendly and make you feel welcome as soon as you enter. They make the steaks to order and genuinely care about the level of service they provide.
The dress is smart casual and reservations are a good idea, especially in the peak seasons. Ask for a table outside on the rail so you can soak in the view while dining. The walk up to the restaurant is not flat, so take a cab or leave a little early. Its certainly worth the effort.
The wine menu is good and do not leave without trying the baklava, it will make you book another trip just to enjoy it again.

We received a warm reception from George.
And the steaks were done right.
With the cool weather and awesome food with a view, this meal was perfect for our last night. I had the one with mushroom sauce. It tasted good
And the baklava was on the house. Too sweet. The gesture and the taste. 😉

Sehr schön und sehenswert.
Food over here is exceptional. Traditional Turkish food. Metin served us with his years of experience.. very kind and polite man. All thebstaff out here is very efficient.
We went there on our last night in Cappadocia. It’s was my favorite restaurant since our arrival to Turkey. The food was delicious. They offer Turkish dishes with a modern spin. The location is wonderful. You can see the city lights from there. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. They played smooth upscale music. We had a wonderful time there!
Best Turkish Manti I've eaten in Türkiye. We also had the beef pottery that was excellent. The food was one of the best we tried during our trip. The nice view is a huge plus for the atmosphere. The service was nice however very very quick. We had not finished the appetizers that the main course was already served. We wished we had a few minutes in between at least to just appreciate it. I totally recommend it.
Some of the best food we have eaten on our 14 day tour of Turkey! Very tasty food and large portions. The food was excellent quality and the service we received was great. We ate early so there wasn’t as much atmosphere but would highly recommend.
This place exceeded my expectations. In particular, the friendly service and generosity of the serving sizes came as a surprise. On top of that there were a few complimentary dishes which were another great addition to our order. The atmosphere was very relaxing and would 100% recommend this restaurant to my family and friends. I would come back again in the future.
Best dinner experience in Cappadocia!!! Amazing view looking over Goreme, great food, and amazing service. Hakan recommended a lovely drink called Chandon that I had never tried before - definitely worth a try. Highly recommend coming before sunset for a few drinks, followed by a lovely meal.
Highly recommend!!!Totally perfect! The staff are very nice and they treat us snacks and apple tea for free! The vibe and taste are top in turkey!!! If you are first time here, try this restaurant!! We four spent 82 pounds in total and each of us are satisfied!!!
A nice place with cozy ambient in Göreme, we stayed in at the hotel in front of this restaurant, so we went here for all the 4 days we're in Göreme. Their food is good (we really liked the meatballs!) the portions are big enough for two people to share (just make sure you order extra rice/pilav), staffs are nice and attentive.
Food pricing is ok considered they're in a very touristy area.
Plus point: there's a dining room with aircon in case you need to escape from the cruel Cappadocia heat.
Another plus point: they're nice with the resident cats. <3

Beat meal we had in Göreme. They serve the famous pottery dish with an extra show with the clay pot coming in a flamed pan. They have vegetarian pottery option which was super falvorful and perfectly seasoned. We also had the seasonal salad which was large and refreshing. We rarely eat meat but thought we'd try kebab and their prince platter was good served with lots of salad. The lamb/beef kebab was good and relatively small which was perfect for us since we just wanted to try for the taste. For meat lovers probably on the small ish side. The restaurant had a lovely interior. Highly recommend.
Service was great, atmosphere awesome. Only I didn't meet the expectation of lamb as it is mentioned as BBQ. The taste of meat can be improved with addition of spices and salt. I suggest to add little more spices and make it like more BBQ. Otherwise the service and the staff are so friendly and kind.
The appetizers and the fruits as complementary is so nice which attracts us to visit again. So nice. The price is affordable and reliable.

This was the nicest dining experience in the city. The food was very tasty, good portions, reasonably priced, convenient location, and great staff. Really great staff. Nice conversations and attention. They are talented people who created a warm atmosphere with their self recorded music (great music), and attention to detail. Unfortunately, the road next to the restaurant is a dirt road, but even that was circumvented because the staff waters the floor, ensuring that the dust does not fly up and provide some incense to keep bugs and flies away. Would recommend, would come again.
This place is such a hidden gem and the best food we had during our Cappadocia stay. Service was prompt and the food so was well flavoured. They also give complimentary fresh bread and salad. Definitely recommend coming for dinner.
Food is excellent.
Try the deconstructed baklava (it needs one extra wafer in my opinion to finish all the pistachio cream but it's super delicious). I forgot to take a photo of it.
Great views too.

This place can be a little deceiving from the outside, but it’s certainly lovely on the inside. Located within a cave, this cosy restaurant has quick service, a short menu but high quality food. The clay pot kebab (lamb) was delicious. For Cappadocia, the prices here a very reasonable. Overall, I can recommend a meal here.
The food was delicious. The price at the restaurant was suitable for the high quality with the invincible view over the whole town. The staff was friendly and welcoming. They were always there to serve you. We appreciate Hakan for the fantastic service and the many young assistants.
We would highly recommend Haruna restaurant.
Furthermore the restaurant was on the top floor of the hotel we stayed at which was great.

One of the best meals in Turkey. We stayed at Carus Cappadocia Hotel and had the opprtunity to eat at Haruna Cappadocia resturant everyday which was perfect for us. The high quality lives up to the price. The food was delicious. The staff was amazing. They were constantly checking up with you and to serve you. We especially appreciate Hakan and his assistants for making us feel so welcomed and happy to be there.
Last but Not least the view was beautiful.

Lovely food, great customer service!
We walked in and were lucky to get a table straight away inside with aircon which was great on a hot night.
Absolutely loved the Turkish Ravioli and our toddler loved her spaghetti bolognaise!
Highly recommend! :)

Most steaks I order in Turkey are small and overpriced.
However, the meat I had here (ribeye) is the best meat I've had since leaving Australia 🥩
Also cooked well, medium and not overdone.
Waiters were very professional, gave me complimentary tea, watermelon and popcorn after my meal 🍿 although I couldn't finish it..
Definitely recommend 👌 👍

The staff were friendly, had free wi-fi and a clean and peaceful atmosphere. The complimentary bread was fresh and quite tasty. We tried some of the local ravioli dishes. We’re they the best food ever? No. However, we had nothing to compare them too. Would still recommend you try the Turkish ravioli as everyone’s pallet is different and the restaurant was very nice. Price was good for the area as well.
We came out from our hotel an search for some good yummy dinners. And we found thus. Upon entering they showed us how the platter will be with all the other items like rice bread and much more. We ordered mix grill but replaced chicken with some kebab. Those kebab were very yummy and mouthwatering. We ordered Turkish tea and rice pudding. But they took a long time for our order
Came here on a Saturday early afternoon just for drinks but decided to stay for dinner. Very glad we did, the drinks, food
,view, and service is some of the best we’ve had in turkey combined. Would highly recommend.

Very nice atmosphere and view. Perfect for a dinner date or just a quiet evening. The food are delicious. I like the veal carpaccio and chicken dinner.
3 basque friends have been in this restaurant twice and we would repeat again and again. Incredible starters that can be asked many times, very good and tasty main courses and the dessert, which we will always remember.
The service and actitude of the waiters is also admirable.

We had a gorgeous dining experience. The food was great: mixed grill platter is an absolute highlight. The pottery lamb was good to try for novelty but quite bland and underwhelming for my tastes. Leave room for dessert! Best kunefe we've had in years. The service is tip notch (special mention of Elias who was super attentive) and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended 👌
Nice environment with indoor and outdoor comfortable seating. Staff are friendly professional and well trained. T Bone it was huge. Chicken was tender. Ayran is yummy !! Good things is they have offered appetiser and also fruit at last as compliment.
Relaxing atmosphere, incredibly hospitable and friendly staff and delicious food for fantastic value. I already plan to return again tomorrow. This wonderful restaurant also feeds and cares for a number of stray dogs and cats in the surrounding area, so please give generously to the donation box to fund this much-needed work!
My first meal in Goreme. Randomly walked in for a quick dinner as this restaurant was just beside my hostel. I later realised that this restaurant was slightly pricier than other restaurants in the area. Food was above average but not exceptional. Had testi kebab for novelty’s sake and also had my first ever Raki which had a strangely sweet aftertaste which tasted very foreign to me. I appreciate the staff’s effort explaining how to drink Raki by mixing it with some water despite their limited command of English.
I sat at the outdoor terrace. Though there wasn’t much of a view, there was a resident stray dog to keep me company!

The view from the terrace was impressive. We had local red wine, Carus Meatballs and Carus Kebap. All of which were very good. There were also a few cute cats around, begging for some food 🐱🐱
Amazing experience and the best food I’ve had in Türkiye so far. We got complementary bread, dips, a breathtaking just baked bread, desert and tea.
Definitely 5 starts and I wish there could be more starts!!!

Absolutely incredible 🤩 Food, service, ambience all amazing. It’s so surreal you’re eating in a cave! We had a ground table which was fantastic. Mezze, chicken pottery and lamb pottery. The flavours were incredible. We’ve been travelling for 4 months and this is one of the best meals we’ve had. Everything is prepared fresh including the bread. Delicious. We’ll be going back for the pide.
We loved this restaurant! The food is good, fresh and plentiful. Small appetizers are served prior to the meal. This was our favorite restaurant Göreme. It’s just a few steps off the Main Street which makes the ambiance that much better. I highly recommend.
My wife and I visited Wood fire BBQ the food was brilliant, portion sizes excellent for the prices. Food was tasty. Chicken chops were the best and thank you to the waiter for recommended. Steak was excellent and large too!
Peyman service was brilliant.
after walking out of a couple of super overpriced restaurants, we're really happy we found this place.

During my recent visit to Kapadokya, I discovered this delightful haven for health-conscious tourists who also seek affordability. The place is a few blocks from most of the Kapadokya cave hotels. From the quick service to the nourishing food options, this restaurant left a positive and lasting impression.
The restaurant has a charming outdoor seating area located upstairs. During the summer, this elevated space offers a lovely ambiance with scenic views of the surrounding area - the perfect spot to unwind, relax, and enjoy a meal while soaking in the sights and sounds of the little city.

We had some amazing authentic Turkish food here. The meze was very delicious. Also got it take one of the most authentic pottery kebabs. Highly recommend
This restaurant was the best we tried in all of Turkey. The atmosphere is wonderful, situated in a beautifully decorated cave. The food is excellent, prepared fresh with every order. We tried the mixed meze which came with tasty freshly baked bread, pottery lamb, and wood fired diced chicken - all were amazing. The service was top notch too. Highly recommend!
This restaurant was advised us by our Hotel.
The place is very pleasant and calming, portions are big and tasty. Prices are really good for meals they served. If I come back I will totally come again.

Turkish Ravioli Restaurant in Cappadocia is a true gem that exceeded all expectations. From its beautiful ambiance to the friendly and English-speaking staff, and not to mention the mouthwatering delicacies, this restaurant offers an unforgettable dining experience.
The meatball dish is an absolute must-try. The meatballs are tender and packed with flavor, cooked to perfection. Pair it with their lentil soup, which was absolutely delicious—a hearty and flavorful combination that left my taste buds satisfied.
And the grand finale? The best tres leches dessert I've ever tasted! The moist and creamy texture, combined with the rich flavors of the three milks, created a delectable treat that I couldn't resist. It was the perfect ending to an already fantastic meal.

Went here for lunch as part of a red tour. The service was fast and the food really good. Also, the restaurant is nicely decorated.
Food was delicious and the price was fair! The place is lovely and they offered us internet before we asked, this speaks very good about their tourist-friendly policy. You should definitely visit them and also see their nice initiative to help street dogs and cats from Capadocia
Ordered the pottery kebab chicken and chicken shish. The pottery kebab comes with 6 side dishes and rice. Both dishes were nice and delicious. The staff prepared the pottery kebab at the side table which is a plus experience for us.
They also provided us with complimentary rice pudding and turkish tea. Both were a nice touch from the restaurant.

AMAZING! Food was freshly prepared and full of flavor. Staff were so kind and attentive. The restaurant is in a cave and both traditional (floor/carpet) and regular seating is available. Very cozy and calm. It is further away from the Main Street, but it is a must try!
Probably the best manti I’ve had in my whole 2 week trip in Turkey. I prefer ones that have both yogurt and tomato sauce, and this was it. Plus I can taste the freshness.
The atmosphere’s really nice as well without being stuffy.
They were also so sweet to give me free rice pudding and tea. 10/10 experience.

Top quality food at a reasonable price.
Service was prompt and the staff were attentive to all our needs. The portion sizes were great and the food to die for.
The bone marrow was absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend it for anyone that's interested.
The patio has a great overlooking view of the town, which lit up the backdrop at night, it created a great atmosphere for the perfect dinner date.

Best freshly baked bread in town 👌 We were surprised by the bread as it's normally served cold and very average at restaurants in Turkey. This restaurant has hot and fresh bread coming from their stone oven. Even the pide is crispy and charred. We loved it.
You get two types of seating as well. One on the floor with traditional carpet and cushions, and one with table and chair. Both beautiful to take photos.
We ordered the mixed mezze, cubed meat pide, and pottery chicken which were all delicious.
The price is reasonable too, each dish isn't over 200liras which we see some main street restaurants charging.

Had the pottery chicken and sea bass. The sea bass was great. Not sure about the pottery chicken as we’ve never had it before, it was overall alright. The owner is very friendly and came over to say hi and gave us complimentary rice pudding without asking for a review, which we appreciate. First time having rice pudding and we loved it.
Thank you!
Thank you!
This place is well located in the middle of the town. We were mostly vegetarian people and had limited options but the food was delicious and the service was good. The full menu was quite expansive and we saw quite many locals also eating here which is always a good sign.
We had Turkish Ravioli and Peravu and I do not recommend them at all. The Peravu didn’t look like in their picture (it had a lot more sauce so it looked more like a soup with pasta and it wasn’t tasty at all). The Turkish Ravioli with meat had 5 small strings of meat and the sauce was too fat. The staff was nice and the place is nicely decorated - that’s why I didn’t give 2 stars.
This is a restaurant situated in a cave, a setting that visitors to Cappadocia would definitely be fond of. And we had the best meal of the trip in Türkiye here.
Both the mains we had - the lamb pottery kebab and chicken shish kebab were excellent. The meats were well marinated, juicy and tender in texture. We tried pottery kebab several times and this one at Wooden Spoon was the tastiest and smelt the best.
We loved the lentil soup and rice pudding as well. Some rice puddings we had elsewhere tasted like custard puddings, and the one here was a little bit different, with a stronger taste of milk and more distinctive texture of rice.

This is a delicious steak house. Steaks aren't cheap as living in Goreme is expensive.
Compared to what I saw on the menu board on the Internet, the price when I actually visited was much more expensive. It should be considered at least 1.5 times more expensive.
However, it is still worth a visit. The steak was well grilled, and the fries were crispy and delicious. The server showed a pleasant side with humorous jokes, and showed a friendly side by asking if we needed anything more several times. .

very disrespectful person, bad business, they scam tourists.
The place is nice but The juice Bar in Front of the Café is total scam.
He wanted ~20 € (280 TL) for 2 small juices.

Great food - highly recommend. My friend and I heard of this place from the owners sister by chance and decided to try it. Amazing. So fresh and delicious. Has many many options. One of the best meals I have had in Turkey.
Also one of the few restaurants I’ve seen with a NO SMOKING indoors sign
