Very nice Turkish restaurant serving generous portions of excellently cooked food. Service is fast and efficient, the atmosphere is relaxing and the prices are very good. Well worth a visit if you are in Ghent. More

Well worth a visit. Excellent food with generous portions at a very reasonable price. A bit out of the way but worth the walk visited on a Saturday in early February and had no trouble getting a table at 8pm it was busy but not full up. Good beer selection. More

Delicious food, for a reasonable price : starters around 5.00€ main course approximately 12.00€. Great atmosphere and excellent service. I already know this restaurant for over 10 years, and it has constantly been serving tasty food at a reasonable price. When we have friends over visiting Gent, we almost invariably take them to this restaurant. More

We looked this place up from trip advisor and went there. It was excellent. We paid only 30 euro for an entree, 3 beers, and two mains (This is cheap in belgium for proper restaurant dinning). The food and service was excellent. You might have problems getting a table though since we went in the off season (late december) and... More

Decided to try this restaurant because of the good reviews here. We were not disappointed !! Lamb with Couscous was served in a very large bowl, as someone else said, this could easily be a shared dish there was so much there. My mother had the scampi maison which came a (not quite as) large bowl with side salad and... More

Wandering around Gent at 8.30 looking for somewhere to eat on a wet November evening, the few restaurants that were open were virtually deserted. Then we came across the Ankara! Full, warm and friendly. To our amazement the food was excellent (don't be put off by the awful photographs) and so cheap. Even if you are not on a tight... More

We spent a while wandering round Gent looking for somewhere reasonably priced to eat and came across this restaurant. The food we had was excellent - generous portions, not too expensive and delicious. For starter we shared the meze platter which had an excellent variety on different nibbles and dips and which was too big to finish. I then had... More

We were wandering through old Ghent next to the canal looking for food. We turned off onto a side street and I was drawn to this restaurant by it still being crowded for dinner at 9 pm on a Friday night.. No other restaurant had this many people in and round it...We curiously wandered in and snagged a table for... More

Good Turkish food. I've been here several times with Turkish friends and they agree! Also very friendly - I once came here with a friend and we had exactly 20 Euro for the two of us. They gave us extra drinks for free (his is apparently typically Turkish). Of course we came back many times afterwards! More
