A small restaurant near Uçhisar Castle, serving pottery kebab slow-stewed in a clay oven for five hours, Michelin-recommended and reasonably priced.
Located in Uçhisar, about a three-minute walk to the castle, this restaurant is set inside the Saklı Konak Hotel and is included in the 2026 Michelin Guide. The signature dish is the pottery kebab—beef with tomatoes, peppers, garlic, and rice, slow-stewed in a clay pot inside a traditional oven for about five hours, priced at 1,400 TL on the official menu. Handmade manti and country noodles are around 600 to 650 TL, and stuffed grape leaves are 600 TL. The restaurant is small, with reviews mentioning only six or seven tables, so reservations are highly recommended. Reviews also note that the pottery kebab must be pre-ordered about five hours in advance; please confirm details with the restaurant. Breakfast is also served, and terrace seating is available.
