Hezzet Restaurant
Hezzet Restorany
A Turkmen-style restaurant where you can dine on the floor or at tables inside traditional tents, perfect for family gatherings or a first taste of local cuisine.
Located around No. 5/7 Oguzhan Street, this restaurant allows guests to dine on carpets or at tables inside yurt-style tents, and also features a rooftop terrace. The menu focuses on Turkmen and Turkish dishes, with kebabs and plov being popular choices. The camel milk drink has a unique taste that some may need time to get used to. Reviews generally describe the prices as reasonable, though some find the portions excessively large. It is open daily from around 10:00 to 23:00. The Tripadvisor listing for Merdem has a similar address, and 2025 reviews indicate that the place has been renamed, so keep this in mind when looking up older reviews. Taking a taxi is recommended, and it is best to call ahead to book a table for family gatherings or large groups.
