"We visited on our honeymoon from Japan. Because it is located in the high area of Goreme, you can see a wonderful sunset and night view. The food is also delicious, so we stopped by twice during our stay in Cappadocia.The lamb neck and fried liver dishes were delicious!A staircase leads from the restaurant terrace to an observation area offering panoramic views of the city of Goreme."

"We were disappointed with the service during our dinner.
Without reservations, we were seated at a small table in the corner, which was fine.
However, the service was underwhelming. Unlike other tables, we didn’t receive a bread basket and had to keep calling the staff for assistance. We ordered the traditional stew in a clay pot and the dipping plates; the food was just okay. The highlight for us was the freshly made butter, which was fantastic.
I recommend booking in advance for better service. Overall, I'm quite disappointed."
