The restaurant itself is very simple, more like what a European person would call a cafe, but the kebabs are trully great, starters were also delicious, a special thanks to our waiter who sort of passed by the table every 5 minutes to make sure everything was ok, but not in an annoying manner, it seems like he was just...

This is the No. 1 Restaurant or the Kebab House in Ankara if you want to experience the greatest tastes of the greatest variation of Turkish Kebabs. For starters, you can choose from the meze section of the menu "humus", "eggplant salad", "ezme", "cacik", "iclı kofte" and last but not least "lahmacun". In fact, lahmacun is not a meze but... More

The service is the best that I have found in Ankara. The food, especially the Iskender, is high quality, fresh, and all around great.

Previous reviewers have hit the most salient points: local, very good but not great food, no alcohol, full meal prices in the 35 TL per person range. Dining room is mainly an open outdoor place with a large awning that can seat perhaps 300 people. In cooler weather, overhead heaters make it comfortable. Service is good, if a little too... More

The best way to characterize Haci Arif bey is as a family restaurant. A two minute walk from the Hilton hotel, this unassuming restaurant is quite large. I've been coming to Ankara many times during the past few years and finally joined some colleagues at this restaurant. The food is pretty standard Turkish fare, with good appetizers and main dishes.... More

This used to be one of the best kebap eatery in Ankara (serving food from Antep region across Turkey's border with Syria). But much beter alternatives appeared in the last couple of years. One big advantage: it is in walking distance to major hotels like Hilton, Sheraton, Divan. A bigger disadvantage: no alcoholic beverages of any sort served here, not... More

Okay, so it's typical Turkish food - kebabs, pide, salads, soups, nothing too fancy, best to get that out in the open. BUT what makes this place a winner is the Atmosphere and the Service, as well as the wonderful Child Play Area. The decor is exotic and interesting, loads of big fish tanks with exotic fish and turtles. One... More
