Offers a good variety of local food. Give a try to famous Manti or Testi Kebabi. Warm athmosphere, modest nice people. Good value. Very centrally located in Urgup.

A pleasant restaurant serving typical Turkish dishes. We had the lamb dish which was beautifully served, fresh and home made. Would recommend. A little on the pricey side. We paid 178 Tukish Liras for 4 people.

The fireplace kept us warm, which was great. The food was good, but nothing great. They are a little pricey.

Food was good but nothing to write home about. Seemed a little pricey. It came highly recommended so I guess we expected it to be better than it was.

Everything about the restaurant was pretentious and crap, we ordered mushrooms and chicken and it looked like the chef couldn't be bothered. The service was terrible and it felt like we were being rushed out of the restaurant.

Somine is the best restaurant in Urgup, if not Cappadocia. My favorite food was their cheese pita, yes pita, not pizza, although they also do have cheese pizza. The other foods are good but you must try the pita.

This fine establishment right on the main square in Urgup serves up good local cuisine. The food here is quite good. We had the hummus appetizer, which was thick like peanut butter - tasty, but a strange texture (something we'd come to find is common in Turkey). I had the restaurant's namesake - Somine Soto (a clay pot with chicken,... More

We tried the testi kebap - lamb slow cooked in a clay pot for a couple of hours. It was cooked to perfection and the meat was very tender. We tried the lamb kebap and the meze - both were very good as well. The service in the restaurant was good - but we were there off-season.
