House Of Memories - Bayramın yeri

I cannot recommend this restaurant enough for an authentic, Turkish meal. We had the clay pot kebab, cooked for 4 hours and served piping hot within minutes of our arrival!! The food was immaculate, every element of it was polished off. Not to mention the service, Bayram was so hospitable, very friendly and chatty. We will definitely be back and are so grateful we stumbled across this gem of a restaurant.

A humble charming hidden gem hole in the wall. The owner sings and makes ordering easy. Speaks English as well. We had the lamb pottery at 2pm. 1200 liras. You normally have to make a reservation 4hrs in advance for dinner but for lunch, he seems to have a few in the chamber. Super soft, you can add some spice and salt to your liking. Doesn’t feel too touristy. Would recommend to come here vs the other nearby places.

I'm writing this review 3 years later, as it still warms my heart. Their Beef Pottery Kebap is simply marvellous! Although it should be ordered in advance, they sometimes have some hidden extra pots ready, just ask the waiter 😉 The waiter was happy as well, singing while bringing the clay pot with a sword to the table!

Wonderful home kitchen! Amazing meet! Cool Chief! Thank you so much for this atmosphere and memories🙏🏻

The staff is amazing, funny and you see that he loves what he does, singing and talking. He makes an effort for you to have a good time. We also didn't need to wait for a long time as other reviews suggest. The food was good. The lentil soup a bit watery but not bad. The stuffed eggplant (probably vegan) was good although the portion size was to small compared to the rest we ordered and without rice or anything. But you get some good bread. The köfte were good and freshly grilled with the veggies in the big oven outside the restaurant.

Based on recommendation of "Lonely Planet", it is perfect place to feel local food, in addition to, the owner seems always to be happy and proud of his job... It is seriously valuable to visit

I'll move straight on to the sore point of this restaurant: the extremely slow service. There were two of us. Seated at a table outside, we waited to order and waited again to receive the dishes. In this infinite time we have seen customers come in, sit down, eat their meal and leave; we watched the show of the owner who, with a loud voice and confident gestures, proudly cut pots containing kebab with clean cuts. We saw him move easily between the tables and the grill, expertly bypassing our table. After about 50 minutes my Ordovr Tabagi arrived, a mix of starters served on one plate. My daughter had to wait a further 10 minutes. On the plate, spicy sauce, tzatziki sauce, rice dolmen, bulgur, beans, cucumbers. Everything cold, except for two fried rolls of phyllo dough. Dish without personality, a simple assembly job with standard flavors that do not emerge. After considerable resistance from the owner, who demanded cash, and after our insistence, we were able to pay by card.

Owner and cook is very accommodating! Speaks english very well and serves the food with enthusiasm. Worth the visit! Try it out!
