Kapadokya 50

Best meal in York by far since arriving here. Great fresh, healthy and tasty options. Service is also better than most.
Glad I found it.

Delightful find in York. Was walking by and attracted to the wonderful view of the grill and smell of grilled meat. Beautiful atmosphere. Ordered dolmas to start. Tangy, fresh, clean. Great way to start the meal. Had the lamb Iskender plate. Perfectly grilled lamb with the buttery tomato sauce. Thick yogurt and grilled tomato tops off a delicious meal. Will come back for sure.

This restaurant is awesome all around. The grill is visible as soon as you walked in, and that always gets me hungrier! The Mediterranean décor is cool, with yellow walls and copper pans hanging on the wall. It feels spacious as well.
I had Arnavut Cigeri for starter and it was nicely done. It seems simple; yet, the combination of cold onion and mildly-​seasoned chicken liver works very well. For main I had the Kapadokya Special. Again, the dish seems simply, yet it’s very flavorful. I would never have thought that rice and honey go well together. Maybe it’s also the salty almonds… or the sweet raisins… or the tangy apricots… who knows. But I think what makes them perfect is the freshness of the ingredients. You can definitely taste it.

The Kapadokya is a family run Turkish Restaurant.
Visited York on the weekend and saw the Restaurant advertised in the York brochure we picked up on the ‘park and ride’ bus.
It was a great change from what we normally eat and the food was excellent. We all opted for the lunch time two course special having starters and a main course. All the food was of a high standard and I must say that the courgette pancake was top notch (zucchini pancake… on the menu for Italians and Americans ;).
The freshly baked Pita is fluffy light and ideal humous dipping ammunition… nothing like the flat bodiless pita found in supermarkets.
All the kebabs we tried with either a nice spicy chili sauce or a mint and yoghurt sauce were moreish and were complimented well by their sauces as well as the crunchy salad.
The restaurant itself is very clean and has a suitably Turkish influenced décor and comfortable atmosphere.
I’d definitely go there again next time I’m in York!
(For those who like meze, there are hot and cold meze starters as well as a set menu)
