Seten Restaurant

Nice spot, great service, beautiful ambiance with great views of fairy chimneys. We ordered only appetizers and were very happy with everything. Prices were very affordable.

This was right next door to my hotel, and we came here for dinner. The ambiance, service, décor, and view were really nice, but I think the food left a little more to be desired.
To start out, they brought us 2 different types of bread — garlic bread that was soft and fluffy (but kind of odd for Turkish food, it seemed like it would accompany pasta or Italian food better), and then another bread that was delicious with olive oil and dukkah (ground nuts mixture) The bread with olive oil and dukkah was my favorite.
The meze platter was also really delicious and one of my favorites that I’ve had so far in Turkey. There were 9 different things on the platter — the roasted eggplant was great, and the hummus was flavorful, fresh, and the texture was great. There was a spicy red paste that went really well with the yogurt sauce. Basically it was all wonderful and I think I ate a half a loaf of bread between not being able to stop with the dukkah and the great platter of meze.
So if you come here for just the meze platter and desserts, you will probably be fine — but where I was really disappointed was in the main dishes.
Both of the chicken dishes we got were not great; we got a chicken filet that was so thin, I thought I was eating a piece of sliced deli meat. Or as my Mom put it, she thought she was eating the sole of a shoe. The chicken kabobs were 2 skewers with cubes of chicken but the chicken was super dry.
What they lacked in food, they had great service and good dessert. We originally ordered the dessert sampler for 2 people, and the server was so kind to make us a platter for 5 people so that we could each try one of the desserts instead of having to share little bites of each ones. Their baklava was really great — not too syrupy or sweet, and I enjoyed trying their quince dessert, candied pumpkin, stuffed apricot, and some cheese thing. I was full but ate one of each and then thought I may go into a happy diabetic coma.
If you stick with the meze platter, you’ll be happy camper. Maybe we just ordered wrong, but the two entrees that we got were nothing special. For Cappadocia where everything seems like a tourist trap or overly priced mediocre food, this place was alright — but I think you can probably find cheaper and better elsewhere if you look hard enough. I’d come back for the meze and baklava, or if you want a nice view, ambiance and service!

Excellent meal, great service, and very reasonably priced. I had the stuffed squash flowers (yes they really did stuff the flowers), excellent flavor. My son had Dolmasi, which was stuffed eggplant, stuffed zucchini and a stuffed eggplant that was also excellent. Far superior to the standard fare at the restaurants on the main strip

Lovely restaurant with fine food. The service was good and the local wine surprisingly good. We were referred by our nearby hotel, Koza Cave, so they gave us a 10% discount. English is spoken here. Reservations recommended b

We had no reservations around 7 pm on a Wednesday night in May (definitely low tourist season) and there were no tables outside or with a view. We got a table inside but were able to go up to their hotel’s terrace to get some nice photos of the sunset.
You can pay with credit card here. They had Wi-​Fi as well.
The service was very professional. It cost 115 TL before tips, but none of our dishes were worth it; see my photos for details. The only good part of the meal was the amazing garlic bread, bread basket, and olive oil/​sesame dip. We couldn’t get enough of those!

This restaurant was recommended to us by our hotel, the Kelebek, and it was surprisingly good. It’s definitely trying to be a more upscale restaurant in comparison with the other dining options in Goreme, but it did not disappoint. The service was excellent, and the prices were very reasonable. We had eaten quite a bit of meat on the trip, so we went for the vegetarian options at this meal. We shared a salad, which was HUGE, and quite delicious, as well as the stuffed eggplant and the stuffed squash flowers. The staff was very kind, despite the fact we ordered the cheapest options on the menu (only because we were trying to stay away from meat!) and didn’t order any wine.
We would highly recommend this restaurant. I would stay away from some of the obvious tourist restaurants in town, and head up the hill to try this place. It is definitely worth the trek!

Delicious Turkish food, in a restaurant that is intertwined with the cave hotels in Cappadocia (Goreme). This is an upscale, white-​tablecloth restaurant with possibly the best food in the region. (Best we had, anyway).
The prices were extremely reasonable, comparable to the other (less fancy) restaurants in the area. If you are staying in a cave hotel then you can probably walk to this place. It’s easy to miss, but don’t give up!
We really enjoyed the food, and we talked to a couple at a table over who were also raving about the food. Our hot air balloon operator, who knew the region very well, also strongly recommended this place.
