Niyokki Armada

About Niyokki Armada

Niyokki is a pasta house in Hayat Sokağı, the open-air restaurant street of the Armada shopping centre at Söğütözü on the Eskişehir Yolu. The brand calls itself a "natural pasta house" (Doğal Makarna Evi) and says it builds its plates on natural ingredients and its own recipes; its slogan plays on the name, "Tadında Ne Yok Ki" (what flavour is missing?), and it presents its cooking as pasta meeting art. Dishes featured on the Niyokki website include its signature gnocchi with spicy entrecôte, Mia Negro (black pasta), five-cheese tortellini, cavatelli, ravioli with mozzarella and sun-dried tomatoes, a minced-meat and aubergine "verdure", a "Miskender Mac" that nods to İskender kebab, pasta with fried mussels in sauce and panzerotti filled with beef entrecôte or grilled chicken. The Armada branch has also promoted dishes such as Roma Negro, and it marks World Pasta Day on 25 October with discounts on its pasta. Niyokki was recommended by Ankara residents on Reddit as a pasta spot at Armada, with the caveat that prices are on the high side. It suits a lunch or dinner while shopping at Armada or on a night out in the Söğütözü and Beştepe office district. Reservations and orders are taken on 0312 219 11 55.
