Mine was something called mevlana, which consisted of onions, beef, and sheeps cheese. My sister and mother in law had one that's like a pide, just beef and seasonings, which was quite superb in an understated way. The flavors came through beautifully and pure. My husband had something like and Iskender kebab which is pita bread cuts into pieces, lamb and or beef screwers with yogurt drizzled over topped with tomato sauce. Well, this one was missing the tomato sauce, (I've never been a fan of it) and it was outstanding. The flat breads are like nothing you've ever seen. They're like 5 feet long and came with fresh items you could layer. I wanted nothing to do with the freshness, and was totally fine with as it was. The decor was pretty nice too, which was really surprised with.

I'm glad that we chose Gönül Hani to stop at since the food turned out to be delicious! The Food: - Pita/ Cheese Starters: The Pita here is so good, you can tell it's authentic and made on-site since it comes out hot! They provided goat cheese and butter to accompany the pita bread which we inhaled with just a few bites. - Coban Salad: Probably my favorite salad to get in Turkey. The tomatoes are extremely fresh and some of the tastiest I've had on my trip. - Eggplant Plate: I don't know how much butter they put into this dish but the result was soft, charred, eggplant with an exceedingly pleasant smokey flavor. - Adana Kebab: One of Turkey's classic meat kebabs. The kebab was cooked to perfection and just as spicy as I would expect Adana to come. Overall had a very pleasant experience! Service was great (they even let us take the complimentary leftover pitas home) and the prices were extremely cheap (compared to what I'm used to in New York at least). Would definitely recommend stopping here on the way to/from Pamukkale- it's right off the highway!

And the food - very good. The Adana was great and the coffee measures up. Mezes like my grandmother's cooking. Super happy with this place.
