Hanımeli Emek

For 300 TL, they offer four different daily menus; excellent value for money, and a warm and inviting atmosphere with delicious options. The selection can vary. The ones I tried were: stuffed grape leaves, carrot tarator, eggplant meze, lentil meatballs, fellah meatballs, broccoli meze, walnut and fig cake, and homemade pastries. The pumpkin dessert was especially delicious; it was the best pumpkin dessert I've ever had. I don't usually like stuffed grape leaves from other places, but I loved the ones here; they were incredibly tender and generously filled with olive oil. The ladies serving were also kind and friendly. You absolutely must try it.

The dishes with olive oil were delicious, and the mutabbal and chestnut turkey pilaf were legendary. Plus, the price-performance ratio is excellent; I highly recommend it, everyone should try these dishes.

The flavors were average. I couldn't taste any olive oil in the stuffed vine leaves. There's no olive oil in the other products anyway.
