Nefise'nin Yeri Çerkez Manti Evİ Hingal

That is the best restaurant experience in ankara hands down! and the friendly family ever that runs it!

Nos encantó el restaurante, aunque es muy pequeño la dueña hizo todo porque estuviéramos cómodos, la comida casera y deliciosa. Lo que más nos gustó la pasta, la tarta de espinacas y la sopa de lentejas!

Lovely, and warm on a rainy day. We had soup, potato dumplings in garlic yogourt sauce, and the beef dumplings. Everything was seasoned to perfection and superbly prepared in the kitchen below. Worth detouring to while around the castle.

As a Circassian, I have to say the mantı (Turkish dumplings) is amazing. Topped with butter, it's just like home-cooked dumplings. The minced meat mantı is my favorite. The boiled içli köfte (stuffed meatballs) is unique, and I recommend trying it if you're not familiar with it. However, the only downside is that they have to keep the meatballs in the freezer, which unfortunately affects their flavor. Otherwise, you'd have to wait a long time. That's why I didn't enjoy it as much. The fıccın (a type of pastry) is good and worth trying, but the price is a bit high for the portion size. For instance, paying 27 TL for just two slices of börek doesn't seem reasonable. In summary, I definitely recommend the mantı. Also, dining in old Ankara houses will surely impress your guests. The owners are wonderful people—it's a family-run business started by a Dagestani immigrant family.

One of the best restaurants I've ever met in my life!
