About Zindancık Kır Bahçesi & Restoran

Zindancık is a family-run garden restaurant in the İnözü Valley, about three kilometres along the valley road from the centre of Beypazarı. The restaurant says the business began in 2003 as its founder's dream and has since passed from father to son; the new management has renovated the place and describes it as a country garden where nature and regional cooking come together. Tables are spread around a green, wooded setting with garden pavilions, and the venue also hosts private events. The menu sticks to Beypazarı and village food. The signature dish is Uruş kapaması: lamb or beef cooked with rice and spices in an earthenware jug, served for at least two people. Zindancık says it was the first to bring this dish from its home village of Uruş to the area. Other regional plates include Beypazarı güveç with beef, meat-filled Beypazarı vine-leaf sarma and höşmerim, a syrupy local dessert. Breakfast has its own menu. The village breakfast (for a minimum of two) brings cheese, olives, honey, clotted cream, tahini and grape molasses, jams, kalem böreği, pişi, buttery bazlama, simit and Beypazarı kurusu rusks, with eggs and sucuk, salad greens and seasonal fruit. Extras such as menemen, gözleme and mumbar can be added. The restaurant publishes its hours as 09:00 to 23:00 on weekdays and 08:30 to 23:00 at weekends, and takes bookings by phone or WhatsApp. It is listed among Beypazarı's tourist businesses by the district municipality, and makes an easy stop when visiting the İnözü Valley.
