Okay, so it's typical Turkish food - kebabs, pide, salads, soups, nothing too fancy, best to get that out in the open. BUT what makes this place a winner is the Atmosphere and the Service, as well as the wonderful Child Play Area. The decor is exotic and interesting, loads of big fish tanks with exotic fish and turtles. One... More

We went there with my family. We ordered different sorts of kebaps. Food quality was average, service is really good, and price is reasonable. Only minus is there is no alcoholic beverages there, but that is almost a standard for many kebap restaurants. More

Had an excellent "last meal" in Ankara here Sept 2011. Turkish ground lamb "pizza" appetizer Hot hummus unlike anything we have had before & delicious. Shepherds (Greek) salad , followed by lamb shish kabob that was excellent. No alcohol but the local Ayran - a drink made of yogurt similar to Indian Lassi was tasty. Steps from the Hilton. Highly...

Some important points. No alcohol, family friendly, but also a business crowd, and there is a slightly sad display of turtles. The service is fantastic. Our waiter remembered my husband and I from a year ago, down to where we were sitting and our occupations. The food is classic Turkish, but well done. The soup is great, salads good, pide... More

Recommended by our guide, Haci Arif Bey is just a short walk from the Ankara Hilton. Friendly atmosphere, lots of locals and an amazing array of kebabi, as well as endless glasses of linden tea. No alcohol, but you won't miss it much. Our waiter was pretty sharp at guessing the nationality of our group; a huge flatbread arrived with... More

definitely a family type restaurant with fish tanks, turtle tanks, indoor playground for small children. Not a quiet adult relaxed kind of place. I do not think alcohol is served. Food was very good and service was excellent. More

We walked here from the Hilton - only a couple of blocks away. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The menu had photos, so it was very easy to order. The food was delicious. Most of the people there were locals, many families. The waiter asked where we were from. A while later he brought a warm flatbread to... More

Haci Arif Bey is a reliable place for good quality, simple Turkish food. Don't expect a bustling atmosphere or alcohol - both are very much off the menu. On the menu, however, are the staples of Turkish cuisine cooked to a high standard. As an added bonus, the setting is peaceful and quiet - a leafy garden in the back... More
