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.

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.

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 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!

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!

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.

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.
