"Had lovely lunch at this place. The food is very tasty, real Turkish cuisine was delicious. Been treated with Turkish delight and Turkish tea which was very nice! The prices are quite competitive comparing to other places and the quality of the food and the service is excellent. It was our second time at kebapzade and both of the times we received amazing service, especially by Mehmet - he made our experience even better!"

"The staff, Mehmet, was really nice and recommended us some great dishes. The food was delicious, especially the beef kebab with bread, which was full of flavor. The pumpkin dessert was a bit too sweet for my taste, but if you’d like to try a traditional dessert, it’s worth a try."

A Brief Look at a Tourist Town in Cappadocia, Turkey
Kebapzade serves decent Turkish cuisine at reasonable prices. We sat up on the top floor for the nice views of town. I had the Hatay güveç, which is a hearty stew with lamb and vegetables served bubbling in a stone bowl.
