I gave two star based on the value. The food itself I think was a 3 star. On the upside, the food is prepared Turkish style which is a unique experience. But they tasted to me just ok but nothing exceptional. We didn’t order much since the choice was limited. The cost was about 60TL per person which is on... More

This restaurant serves the best fish and seafood dishes I have ever had anywhere. The atmosphere is basic, the place is small and cramped in a non-descript strip shopping area. Despite that, It is always convivial and happy because of the food. The owner and family oversee everything and make sure it is perfect. More

I have been a regular customer of Kalbur for years, and quite often take friends who visit me out of town to Kalbur when I want to prove to them that we have better seafood than Izmir or Istanbul. However, you dont go to Kalbur to eat fish, you go there to eat what Mehmet bey provides you. Just let... More

It was interesting to see a restaurant specialized on sea food in a city quite far from the sea. However in Kalbur we have found all types of sea food in a very creative manner. We like see food and it was great to see many alternatives that were created to give tastes some of which were quite different than... More

Yes, the restaurant is under an old apartment looking at well kept garden, yes the service is not on the warm side, the owner usually serves and he is not in the talkative type rather sulky but the food is excelent. So go for the taste, starting from very well cooled and good quality white wine to delicious fresh salad... More

This is the worst place that I have ever eaten. Service and place needs hardcore improvement. If you like to eat ordinary seafood with horrible service and hosting, want to pay considrable amount of money kalbur is your place. By the way its at the basement of an old Ankara apartment.. More

Kalbur does amazing things with seafood. If you spend any time in Ankara, you must eat here. Yes, the service is a bit grumpy and the food isn't cheap, but Kalbur will change the way you look at seafood and Turkish cuisine as a whole. More
