    Came here for lunch around 230pm and ordered the sour lamb soup as well as a Chicken Shish plate. Food was great. I like the taste of the spiced BBQ chicken, quite different from other foods I tried. Loved the sour taste of the creamy soup as well. There are a wide variety of sweets as well but I didn't take them as I was too full. They looked tasty though. Service rating is average of 2 different attendants. I asked for WiFi. One of them, slightly older male, just nonchalantly told me it was not working and walked off. After that he did not bother at all. The other one, a younger guy with many facial hair, was great. He was attentive and also helped me with the WiFi. The vibe is good. I loved to eat on the tables by the street at the alleys. I only get this feeling when I am eating outdoors in Europe. Lucky for me too the weather is good

    Fresh and excelent food, very friendly staff. short but correct menu, with the basics of Turkish dishes. we triet some bread, and kebabs, with rice and salad sides, the taste was very good. It was our first time trying Turkish food, and I was in love. so good.

    Amazing food and the highest level of service! Waiter is very polite, friendly and speaks English better than in any other Plovdiv restaurant. It's my favorite place for weekend chill now.

    It is 2022, center of Plovdiv and payment with card is not allowed! They don't want to pay tax to government and you need to go to ATM or charge more in euro. Food is good.

    Great for quick lunch with authentic Turkish kebab & cabbage-wrapped sarma (lamb is better than veggie). Cash only!

    Bad service didn't let me go to the restroom, just because we ordered one dish. The waiter told me only one person can go to the toilet because we ordered one dish, if I also want to go I need to order dish. I tried to explain my self but he had bad attitude.

    Very tasty, generous dishes. As we sat there during a heat wave, they used super fine sprinklers to cool us down

    The place offers one of the best oriental meals in Plovdiv. Delicious meals and deserts, different lunch menu every day on good prices. My favorite dessert is Kunefe

    Great bbq-ed meat prep on open fire. The lamb meat is memorable. Good soups. On weekends really crowded and some waiting time needs to be planned until you get a table outside.

  • 1/5 Berkay Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Decent food, high prices, but the worst of all is the fact that they dont accept cards and don't even warn people about it beforehand. We remained petrified when we heard that we have to pay with cash, cash that we didn't had at the moment so we had to break a 50 euro bill and they only gave us the leva in return. Really ruined the experience for us. Attitude of the waiters at the end was rude, non helpful.

    A cozy place serving a delicious traditional Bulgarian food.

  • 2/5 Martina P. 10 months ago on Google
    Very nice and polite service, good location, but I didn't feel well after the Adana kebab. I got sick in my stomach. A few days ago I was in Istanbul and had the same meal several times and there was nothing wrong with me. Also I like Turkish kebab much better, I have to admit - more tasty meat and salads, not cabbage on the side.

  • 5/5 Holly S. 5 years ago on Google
    Amazing place! Best food I’ve had in Bulgaria! Great proportions, very cheap and great location within the city. Highly recommend! (Get the cucumber yogurt with your meal, you won’t regret it).

  • 1/5 Vojtěch P. 1 year ago on Google
    The service is very bad at taking orders. I asked for lamb shish without lavash and rice instead of bulgur. They brought a meal with bulgur and lavash, I asked them to replace bulgur with rice, which they did. The food was mediocre, for the price I would expect bigger portion. My friend ordered Tarator and sarmi, but got tsatsiki and the sarmi was cold and didn't taste good. There is a menu at the entrance with price tags that are unreadable, it's very easy to mistake number 7 for 1, or number 8 for 0. It turns out that was also out case. I paid 18 leva unstead of 10.

  • 5/5 Georgi P. 3 years ago on Google
    Wow Amazing place! The guys that serviced us were very polite and welcoming. We had a good choice of food and extremely good service. The kebap and kunefe were just spectacular! Absolutely recommended place! The fellas servicing us were just amazing we felt really well taken care of!

  • 1/5 Gabriella S. 1 year ago on Google
    This was my fav resto @Kapana- nice atmosphere; good service, but food quality has lowered; portion sizes have become much smaller; they use ready-made bread for the kebab, salad is unpleasant and too sour. Unfortunately, my last visit here.

🫤 Yes, the restaurant looks good and has good atmosphere, but that’s all. We waited quite a while for the waiter to take our order, then probably around 15 more minutes for him to come and tell us that they ran out of the wine we wanted. Then it took them 1 hour to serve our dishes. He forgot to bring...
