Ateş Ocakbaşı

Ateș restaurant was a revelation. We tried beef, lamb and onion skewers, chicken, meat rolls with cheese, salads and, of course, the omnipresent çay. Everything was absolutely delicious!
The place is very clean, the staff is quick and very pleasant and the place gives you the feeling that you are in good hands.
The dishes came out rather quick and everything was cooked on charcoal grill which you can actually see for yourself.
We also got the chance to choose our own pieces of meat, which is very nice.
Our waiter went out of his way to make us feel at home and was always very quick and readily available for us at any given point.
This is definitely a place you want to eat in if you go to Izmir! I know we will definitely visit again!

We went here with a group on a business trip and it was just great. I did not know what to expect from the place but the food was exceptionally good! Everything was fresh and prepared perfectly, the staff was super friendly and helpful and there was nothing at all to complain about. One of the best restaurant experiences I ever had!

Firstly, the food was incredible. The staff were not only happy to accomodate dietary restrictions in our group, but went out of their way to do so. The service was incredibly friendly. We had several people circling in and out to make sure we were attended to and had everything we needed without being the least bit intrusive on our evening out. The staff were also excited to have us try different drinks & foods, so without us ordering, brought them to our table at no extra charge. We not only had an incredible meal in a great location/atmosphere, but we had so much fun. Lots of laughs!

We enjoyed our dinner here for 425 Lira (2022). We enjoyed the bbq beef and lamb chops which were grilled to perfection! The bread at the bottom of the beef skewer seemed random but was so delicious and buttery we really enjoyed this dish. Service was also great and we stayed in the hotel nextdoor which kindly offered us to use their table as the restaurant was booked out! You need to make a reservation probably due to its popularity. We had the Turkish pumpkin dessert - it was more just to try it. The texture is interesting and drizzled with tahini. Not what we were expecting but we were glad to have tried it nonetheless.

A place that is indispensable for me. The sincerity of the employees, excellent service. Everyone is solution-oriented. A restaurant where you can experience the grill culture. Everything is delicious. No need for many words.

Very good food and friendly staff. Ramazan was very helpful and explained everything. Grilled lamb was excellent.

Excelent service and food. The place is very clean and the meat is cooked amazing you have try it!

It’s a MUST. Incredible food and service. A nice and cool restaurant in a middle of a crowded alley. Ask for Yoyo’s recommendations!

This place is sooooo good. Meat was so tender and flavourful and you can see them cook it on a coal grill right in front of you. The waiters are all so friendly too!

We went without reservation, the welcome was very friendly, food was great. Thank you for a lovely dinner experience

Amazing food and super friendly staff. We had an amazing dinner and the recommendations from our waiter were very tasty.

Only downside: too much cigarette smoke - even indoors.

in August 2022 we visited the store and ate. it had very nice food and very friendly staff. The restaurant is very beautiful . while leaving the store we forgot a pair of sunglasses. we left for Attalia and found it there. in telephone communication with the store they said that they found them and have kept them in a safe place. we went after a week and received them. thank you very much .

Fantastic food and highly recommended!

Good and tasty Turkish food.

This restaurant is AMAZING. We loved in Turkey for a month and this was by far the best food we had. All of the dips and meat were so flavorful! We ate here multiple times because it was so good.

Very delicous kabab, really nice atmosphere, nice service. All and all very good. Plus this restaurant is in a really nice alley with a vibe that you have to try

Great Turkish food!

My favorite restaurant in Alsancak. Serhat and crew always take care of me when I’m here. Try the Atom and lamb shish
