There are many great restaurants in Ankara that you can discover the international cuisine. Here we are with 4 of those great restaurants…
NIYOKKI (ITALIAN CUISINE)
Niyokki is one of the best places in Ankara to eat pizza and pastas. However their menu includes many pizzas, pastas, salads and desserts. They have a special recipe for their dough and it is kept a secret. They use best of the high quality, fresh ingredients, so the outcome is delicious meals. They have 3 restaurants in different places in Ankara. Their pizzas are locally famous, and all of them are really tasty but, their most liked ones are Mediterranean pizza and the smoked beef pizza. They also have a variety of pastas and the most liked one is their Mac&Cheese. It is different from all the other Mac&Cheese’s I have eaten before with its spices.
Overall Niyokki is a great Italian restaurant. However we think it has 3 downsides.
1- Mac&Cheese has no option to have chicken with it. Mac&Chesse is usually served with chicken, without any meat, only Mac&Cheese was a bit dull to us.
2- Prices are a bit weird because they change too much with the ingredients, some of them are reasonable, some of them are a bit pricy.

RANCHERO (MEXICAN CUISINE)
Holas, mi amigos
Our next stop on our flavor tour, where we discover new tastes and cultures, is Ranchero.
Ranchero is a restaurant that transports you to Mexico even though you are in the middle of Ankara. Its stylish, colorful, warm lighting and traditional Mexican motifs and ambiance make you feel the scent of Mexican land. The Mexican breeze greets you as soon as you step inside. When you head to your table, you will be greeted by a sombrero (a wide, tall hat specific to Mexicans) and a poncho. You can wear them as you wish and take photos. Moreover, since the restaurant is furnished in a true Mexican atmosphere, every corner is as if it came out of a movie, you can feel like you are in the Narcos series at any time. Let’s get to the most important part, the second best thing about the restaurant is its Extensive Menu! It contains almost every Mexican dish you could want and all of them are prepared successfully. I recommend you to try nachos, tacos, quedillas and mojitos, a special Mexican drink. Traditional Mexican dishes are prepared in accordance with the methods and presented aesthetically. The spices that make Mexican food Mexican are used like an art, and the sauces complete the dishes and bring them to their final form. Each one evokes a different taste and admiration.
But let me warn you, if you don’t like coriander, this is not the kitchen for you. The prices are affordable and we can say that they are student-friendly. A good advice from me to you, dear readers.
Stay healthy and delicious,
