Sevinç'in Lezzet Sofrası — Restaurant in Datça

Datça, you’ve completely won me over — not just with your views, but with your unforgettable flavors. If you ever find yourself in this stunning town, do not miss the chance to explore its rich and authentic Aegean cuisine. Every dish I tried was a celebration of tradition, freshness, and love for food.

From the beautifully spiced and perfectly cooked İzmir Köfte, to the delicately prepared kabak çiçeği dolması (stuffed zucchini blossoms) and the tender, flavorful yaprak dolması — each bite tasted like it came straight from a local home kitchen, What made the experience truly unforgettable was knowing that the owner herself is the one in the kitchen, preparing everything with her own hands — and heart.

What made the experience even more special was the staff — incredibly professional, passionate, and genuinely kind. Their hospitality made it feel less like a restaurant visit and more like being a guest at a friend’s table.

And we keep coming back to this place for some home cooked goodness that is just so familiar yet comforting! Would recommend to anyone...

Like eating at your mother's house. Hard to find - address isn't quite where Google says. It's actually on the side street, look for the hanging wooden sign. Couldn't find it for lunch, so only made it at dinner after many of the food items were gone. Started with Sutlac firin, which was delicious and homemade and tasted like my mom's. Very popular place, especially with the locals, so figured I should try the food too. Luckily they still had my favorite- bamya. One of the best versions of okra I've had. Owner and her daughter were really nice...
