This is a wonderful restaurant in the pedestrianised street area in the heart of Kizilay, the…read moremodern centre of Ankara. When we first went to Ankara, we discovered this place near our hotel and immediately fell in love with it for the great food, great prices, and great service. It's a fairly straightforward place, not super fancy (or touristy since this is not a very touristy area) but a very nice, clean, comfortable modern restaurant. The food is excellent and they specialize in "tereyagli" dishes, which means, literally, "buttery." These are a class of dish, the most famous of which is Iskender or Bursa Kebap, which often have doner meat with tomato sauce in some combination, sometimes with bread of some sort, and drizzled in the end with hot clarified butter. They also have pide ("Turkish pizza") and some other things. The prices are very reasonable, too. Our first time in Ankara, we ate dinner here every night.

Çiçek Lokantası is a very classic and classy lokanta or almost meyhane-like without the alcohol…read more Upon entering, you while see a case of cold mezeler and a long table with hot plates. One of the staff members will assist you in selecting what to eat. They're very good at explaining and helping you select what to eat. There were so many choices! We selected 1 hot dish and 5 cold mezeler to split between the two of us. Of the dishes, my favorite was the stuffed fruit, which tasted like fall. I, unfortunately, can't remember what exactly it was, but it was phenomenal. I truly believe that Çiçek Lokantası is one of the best restaurants in Ankara. They offer a wide variety and you can't go wrong with anyone of them. Everything is perfectly cooked and tasty. The service is also great. I highly recommend!

I love the freshly baked pita bread that is complementary, which goes well with the greens (including mint) and lemon. I ordered the Adana Kebab which had lamb that my wife did not really enjoy. The rest of the dining party ordered chicken and eggplant (huge) kebabs. Good food and service were great. The only issue is the patrons sat next to us smoked all the time since we had the outside seating.
