I can see why this lokantasi is so popular. I can also see that only locals come here. Their food is delicious, and service is top tier. Even at a busy time they have a smile on their face and are very helpful. I highly recommend them.

This is the place you've been looking for, weary travellers trying to escape the tourist tat and ultra processed food and the hucksters with their multilingual gab and inflated prices. This is the authentic, home cooked food yo Turkish mama …

If you are in Antalya you must visit this restaurant! We were immediately welcomed by the chef behind the counter, who started explaining all of the dishes with English. It was honestly one of the best meals we had in Turkey— we ate every last bit.

A real hidden gem. It’s what us foreigners would describe as a “Turkish cafeteria”, where you grab a tray and point at what you want. A friendly man in a chefs hat hands you plates of things, and you pay before you sit. The food is fantastic. Fresh, unpretentious, and delicious. Soul food. And the prices are very reasonable.

I found this place through Google Maps and I’m so glad I did! The restaurant is very clean, and the food is absolutely delicious. The chef was incredibly kind and explained each dish with care. I’m from Korea, and I highly recommend this place to other Koreans visiting the area.
