    Place looks nice but do not let that deceive you. Cocktails look very poor, little ice and no garnish. Food was terrible, the steaks were like shoe soles, veggies and potatoes were cold. 3 people of our group got food poisoning. The staff also forgot some orders that still did not come after 1,5 hours. On top of that, for a place where a lot of internationals come. The staffs English is very poor and some do not even speak Turkish.... I would recommend another place over this one.

    Good bar but some of the individuals running “foreigners in Ankara” events here are rude, unkind, and are severely lacking in basic communication skills and empathy. Frankly, the way they treat foreigners not part of their clique is an embarrassment to Turkey. These were probably the rudest people I’ve encountered anywhere in the world having visited 40+ countries - that’s some achievement, well done 😅

    There is not much to say about this place. It is a staple of Kızılay. Has almost everything & can accommodate almost anyone. There is also a performance hall upstairs for stand up comedy shows. One downside is that it is BIG and staff, who are clearly being overworked, can't keep up with all the tables, even on weekday nights. Lastly, the performance hall is not very-well designed for that kind of use and for such a large crowd so, if you are going for a show, I recommend going about 20-30 minutes early to get a good seat.

    It has a quite charming environment. You can find a fine selection of beverages and an acceptable menu for meals. The only downside for me was the exceptionally long minutes I had to wait for a delicious pizza!

  • 5/5 Furkan B. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is huge, it has 4 floors and hosts a variety of shows (stand-up comedies, small concerts), I have seen that they had even hosted a business meeting in the second floor. Unfortunately, during mid-day the staff is smaller and since the first floor is also huge, they may not handle customers well (only the first floor is open during mid-day). I had ordered iced coffee but it was room temperature, although they changed it quickly. Still wasn't the best coffee i had, but the price is not much different from other cafés, so definitely worth it. Don't be fooled by my English, I actually live in Ankara and Route is the number one choice if I want a decent time in Kızılay. Hope that they keep it that way!

    It's a must visit place in Ankara. It has 4 floors, a balcony, a library as well. The menu is huge and offers variety of choices, both alcoholic and non alcoholic as well. Snacks, desserts and main course dishes as well. The staff is nice and works fast. The prices are extremely affordable for the atmosphere and service you receive. Totally recommended. It's a great place for meetings or study, because the second floor is very quiet.

    Great place for a meeting friends. They have a nice balcony on the 3rd floor and a great garden in the back. Every Saturday night they organise international Night with many foreigners in Ankara.

    Food and drinks easily 5 starts Service and staff 3 stars no enough staff for such a big place like this Design and atmosphere 5 starts one of the best places to go and have a nice drink or lunch One bathroom for more than 200 people that doesn't make sense at all I really enjoyed it definitely I will go again ASAP with friends Recomended...

  • 5/5 Sahar A. 2 years ago on Google
    I didn't take a photo. It isn't a very modern place but the location is very easy to find and the cafe itself is spacious enough so that you're not too close to the other customers. It has 2 separate open-air spaces,one in front and the other at the back, which is more like a 2 storey balcony. The menu seemed alright but the waiters and waiteresses hardly notuce you. You may have to kill someone to attract their attention 😅. I would definitely visit the place again but I would enjoy the place more if they make sure Im comfortable enough.

    I had a Route burger and it was delicious! The poor waitress had a huge section of the restaurant. I wish the owner would have hired more staff.

👍 Very attentive and friendly service service, food is delicious, plenty of variety brought to the table straight away, should try their signature dish, the skewered liver, you can also try other meat varieties if you are not a fan of the liver, but recommend. It is a bit pricey though.

👍 An awesome restaurant serving delicious Turkish food kebab, in particular. A lot of side dishes and tea are served free of charge. The staff are really helpful and friendly. The restaurant roof should be close due to direct sunshine but no one pays attention!

👍👍 Everything you eat is amazing and staff is really friendly... My favorites were lahmacun and kuzu sis. I am here for business from London and I personally think Ankara does not have a touristic value. However, now I am really looking forward for my next business trip here and go to Duveroglu again.

😐 This was a lovely kebap place when it opened the first time. They had their own way of serving their menu. They would place a nice paper mat on the table and bring you a lot of green for free. The prices were reasonable. Eventually they got popular. The last when I visited this place, it was over cr...
