Being out of the way is a big plus because it is a much quieter and peaceful place to eat a meal (they also have outdoor seating) than the other kebab places closer to the city center. Even though it is a little off the beaten path, it is only a couple minutes' walk from the center and is on the way to the Temple of Artemis, so it is a great place to stop and eat lunch. Their kebabs are served as a whole meal, with rice, vegetables, fries, and bread, so you definitely don't leave hungry!

Since it was cold, we sat inside but it'll definitely be fun to sit outdoors since it's facing a large green square (of grass) and there's also a little park adjoining it. Loved the old photos of Ephesus hung on the walls and the tables too+wall decor reflects the old colonial spirit. We had the sahlep ( special winter drink) which is said to be the best ever and we can vouch that it was delicious. Also had a pastry which was yummy. Recommended.

The restaurant dining area was on the top floor and as soon as we walked in, we were amazed to see that most of the (long) tables were full and there was a live singer singing traditional turkish songs!! We were seated right next to him and with the fantastic mezze, raki +Efes beer plus the melodious tunes+great voice, it was the best ever "WelcomeToTurkeyForThe1stTime" one could ask for!!

Even going on half a year later, some nights I just can't sleep and all I do is think about my amazing meal from this place. Now I will say that their fish might not hold up next to some 5 star restaurant in New York, BUT considering you can get a fabulous meal here for just a few bucks, this place will win every time (not to mention you won't have to deal with NY snobs here - ha!). Ok so on to details: Service was fantastic! They were super nice and, although their english and my Turkish are limited-to-none, through gestures we were able to decide on their recommended dishes, which were the bass or their fried fish, which are unique to this region but of course now I can't remember their name. Both were delicious, although I definitely recommend the bass. I think the "thing to do" is to get a bottle of carrot juice to go along with the fish. I was coerced into this practice by a local who was eating next to me and don't regret it!
