Chef Kebap Restoran Cappadocia — Restaurant in Göreme

The atmosphere is probably the only good thing about this place. Everything else was a mess.

First, they brought us the wrong salad. Normally, that wouldn’t be a big deal—until you hear what followed.

My wife asked for one tea. They brought two—something I now realize they do often (check other reviews). When I told the waiter we only ordered one, he looked me in the eye, smiled, took a sip of the tea, and walked away. I’m not making this up.

Then we ordered the KİŞİLİK & ÜZERİ KARIŞIK IZGARA, meant for 3 or more people. What they brought us clearly looked like the portion for two. I compared it to photos and pointed this out. Instead of making it right, two different staff members argued and insisted it was the larger portion. Most people might give up at that point—I didn’t.

And guess what? They automatically add a 10% service fee. I usually tip 20% when service is great. This wasn’t.

To top it off, when I asked for a to-go box for the leftovers (because my wife barely touched her food after all this), they brought out a container so tiny it was almost insulting. I attached a photo—decide for yourself.

Oh—and that wrong salad? I’m about 90% sure they just gave it to the table behind us. No joke.

Had my wife not been there, I might’ve lost my temper. This place disrespected us at every turn.

Don’t waste your money here. There are way better spots with honest service and way better food nearby. Their food is also very dry...

If you’re visiting Cappadocia and want an unforgettable culinary experience, Chef Kepap is an absolute must.

From the first moment we walked in, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and hospitality that made us feel instantly at home. The atmosphere is cozy, the aroma from the grill is mouthwatering — and the food? Simply outstanding.

The Adana kebab was the highlight of our meal. Perfectly spiced, grilled just right, and bursting with flavor. You can taste the passion and tradition in every bite.

But what truly made the experience special was the incredible service, especially from Doğckan and Kamal. kindness, attention to detail, and friendly energy created a personal connection that turned a great meal into a memorable evening. It felt like dining with friends rather than just being customers at a restaurant.

If you’re in Cappadocia and want a place that serves delicious food with heart, Chef Kepap is the spot. We’ll definitely be back — and next time, we’re bringing...

I had a truly disappointing experience at this restaurant in Göreme. At first, the staff were friendly and welcoming, clearly trying to get us inside. However, once they realized that my partner and I were only ordering one dish each—rather than a full, expensive meal—their attitude changed completely.

From that moment on, the service became rude and rushed. They were in such a hurry to turn over tables that they kept trying to take away our plates while we were still eating. The staff were clearly more focused on making numbers rather than providing a quality dining experience.

To make things worse, as soon as I finished my last bite, they were already cleaning the table—even though I was still getting dressed to leave! It was as if they couldn’t wait to get rid of us and bring in the next group of tourists.

This place is far too touristy and lacks any real care for its guests. If you’re looking for a genuine and enjoyable dining experience, I strongly recommend...
