Halk Sofrası

About Halk Sofrası

Halk Sofrası is a home-cooking lokanta on Sümer-1 Sokak in Kızılay, also promoted as Maraş Halk Sofrası. On its Instagram account it describes its food as organic home cooking (organik ev yemekleri), under the slogan happiness and health in every bite, and tags its posts as an esnaf lokantası. Dishes it features include kadınbudu köfte, other köfte and fried dishes (kızartma). The Ankara food guide ankarayemek.tr, in its 2026 round-up of where to eat in Kızılay, describes Halk Sofrası as serving traditional Turkish home-style food with set-menu (tabldot) and daily-menu options, and as a favourite with everyone from students to office workers. A promotional video posted in November 2025 by the local food account ankaradaneyenir showed a four-dish daily menu and said the restaurant uses no additives in its food. Practical notes: according to its own Instagram post, Halk Sofrası serves Monday to Saturday from 08:00 to 19:30, so it suits breakfast-time to early-evening meals rather than late dinners. The menu changes daily, so check its Instagram account, which was still posting in 2026, to see what is on.
