There are an abundance of great restaurant options in Cappadocia but Keyif restaurant isn’t one of them. The food was poor with the pizza I ordered having a copper taste to it. At the end of the meal, when I politely reminded the server that I was due change after waiting some time for it, I received a sneer and a condescending remark. Definitely a miss and I hope this restaurant takes the opportunity to improve its customer experience.

In the short time we spent in Cappadocia we visited this restaurant twice, and everything was great. Very delicious kebab, we tried pistachio, Adana, and kofte kebabs, I highly recommend the first two, and I also recommend their hummus with kebab. The balloon bread they provide besides the lavash bread is super! We also tried the pumpkin dessert since pumpkin is one of the best products in this area and it was super interesting! Both fresh and cooked honestly I don't know how to explain it, must try!
The staff are friendly and attentive and the environment is pleasant!
Unfortunately a joke of a service :(

We came here and ordered some starters and main dishes.. and when the starters came, there was one that we didn’t order but thought was complimentary.

However, 10 minutes later while I was eating the main dish they came and told us: “sir.. you ate this thing but it wasn’t yours.. it was for the next table.. what do we do?” What are you expecting me to answer?.. i said I thought it’s complementary, they said it was not.. alright, I offered to pay for it, they said “oh, really? Ok thank you!”.. as if that’s what they were waiting for, instead of admitting the mistake.

However, the pistachio kebap and the lentil soup were delicious, hence the stars.

Very sad to get treated like that, but oh well.. I do not recommend the place due to the poor service.
Fantastic place with the loveliest staffs here, Azim is so friendly helping us with his amazing choice of chicken signature dish here. It’s Something I haven’t done in my life. And Can never forget this guy name Metin who is talented with his amazing photography skill that took a video for us not just that he also made a special video for us. Definitely love the food experience here and feel very nice sitting in this place. The vibe is amazing I’d recommend to try to experience in this place. Don’t miss!!! ❤️

Pistachio kebab was unique
Lentil soup was good
Saffron Chicken wings were great
Crispy pumpkin dessert is insanely sweet, couldn’t have more than a few bites
Free bread with orders

The crowd having drinks outside Mozaik drew us in and we definitely made the right decision. Food was incredibly delicious. I had the best bread during my 2-week traveling Turkey there. We chose to sit outside facing the bar to enjoy the lively ambiance. My crazy boyfriend requested (in Turkish without my knowledge) that I have the full pottery kebab’s experience. Traditional Greek/Turkish restaurants serve them with a big flame and use a knife to knock the top off. This was a modern restaurant and does not serve the dish that way, but the staff still accommodated us and brought it with a small fire. We were heading to a hamam and didn’t want to stuff ourselves before with food, but the 2 items we got both tasted so good, I wish I could have tried more dishes!

Can’t say we enjoyed eating here. We ordered the lamb and it came out over cooked and dry. This is also the only restaurant in all of Turkey that doesn’t provide side dishes with your mains. The table beside us received their Testi Chicken raw. Finally after paying cash for my over priced meal. I had to ask for my change. Don’t be fooled by the flashy fire outside. I’d recommend you check out somewhere else before dining here.

Been twice and may go again before we leave. Delicious food and extremely friendly staff. We liked the burger and salads. Best priced restaurant we found in Goreme

We ordered their special, lamb chops on pottery. It tasted very good. The lamb was soft and the sauce was very good for bread. The service was also good. Thank Adnan for serving us.

Keyif is a such a nice place! The service is very good and helpful - since the entrance everybody welcomes you and direct you to a terrace with a good view of the town, always caring if your glass is empty, if your bread is over or if you want to order another dish.
The dishes are very tasteful, the mezzes are delicious (specially the cherry leaves, the smoked yogurt and the stuffed red peppers), the main courses are beautiful as well. But the Katmer is a great dessert, maybe one of the best in the country. A lovely place to attend when in are in Goreme!

The service was great. We ordered some mustard with onion as an appetizer and katmer as dessert, both of them really delicious.

From the first contact to the last, there is a high level of interest and importance. The rates are really fair, and they serve any type of meal you choose.

The dessert we desired was presented so beautifully that I will never forget the moment we couldn't wait to enjoy it.

Thank you

Well Göreme has a lot to offer but Mozaik Restaurant has the best to offer in town in terms of food. Great variety of food with reasonable prices and the wine selection is great. Sitting area inside and an awesome terrace outside. The bar in the front makes this place extra cool especially with the bartenders knowing what they’re doing. The staff is super friendly, speaks English and serves you with a great smile. And not to forget the owner Mustafa…the best and funniest guy in town. If you read this review tell him « Michel says hi »
I won’t say enjoy your meal but enjoy your time. It’s a A++++

Definitely on the pricier side but the view from the rooftop are superb. You can see typical Cappadokia rock formations along with the Goreme city center. It's beautiful and peaceful. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating facility which is good. If you want food with the view this is the place to go.

Looks like a bar from a distance, but inside is very nicely furnished and decorated. A log fire ensures customers are kept warm when the weather is cool.
The menu was refreshingly different to most other restaurants,with good meat and vegetarian options. I tried the slow cooked beef rib with chef's special sauce; it was delicious. My only complaint would be that I would have liked a little more mashed potato. My wife and friends really enjoyed their meals too.
Staff were friendly and efficient. Tables were cleaned quickly so new customers could be seated promptly.
One important point; there's a 10% service charge on top of the menu prices, which we didn't notice at the time. Prices were still very reasonable for what we had and we were happy to leave a tip on top of the service charge.
Well worth a try.

My friends and I have been in Turkey for 10 days and made a point of trying something new every time, this is the first place we've returned to repeatedly because the food is stunning and amazing value, service is excellent and atmosphere is so relaxing. The wine is wonderful too! ❤ photos don't do it justice!

Great wine choices. Lots of local ones to choose from, and the ones we had were super. Food also really good. Traditional Turkish. Big portions, great dips and lots of very good bread.
