Adana Et Restaurant in Köln

While the food is decent, the service staff is rude, and the rudeness intensifies when they realize you're from Türkiye. Turkish hospitality is unheard of.

Unfortunately, the meat is cut very thickly and is half burnt and half raw. This has happened several times already.

The food could be better for the price, the service was catastrophic, a truly unpleasant experience. They served us dishes we didn't order simply because the waiter didn't understand any language. Too much noise. Overall, nothing worth returning to.

The staff is polite and helpful. You can find food to suit every budget. The open ayran kebab is fantastic, eh? 🤗

Very poor quality, tastes like grease, didn't want spicy, but received a very spicy kebab. Not recommended.

We dined at Adana Et today and were absolutely delighted! From the moment we walked in, we received a warm and attentive welcome, making us feel instantly at ease. The atmosphere is pleasant, welcoming, and inviting. The food was simply outstanding – freshly prepared, perfectly seasoned, and served with great care. The meat dishes, in particular, were of the highest quality and cooked to perfection – you can tell that true professionals are at work here. The side dishes and salads were also fresh and delicious. A very special thank you goes to Ali Abi, whose warmhearted nature and hospitality made our visit a truly memorable experience. It's immediately apparent that passion, quality, and genuine service are paramount here. We will definitely be back and wholeheartedly recommend Adana Et – an absolute must for anyone who appreciates good food and authentic hospitality!

The food is delicious, but finding a parking space is a nightmare.

If the employees are having a good day, the kebab is very tasty, and if the employees are thinking about blue almonds (and this is often the case), the kebab is nothing special.

Had delivery, price performance not OK, taste good

We ate at Adana Et again today. As always, we were absolutely thrilled with the food; today it was fantastic again! The staff is very friendly, and the chef personally welcomed us warmly. Everything was truly top-notch 👍 We'll be back!⭐️

The bread was rock hard and cold, the Adana didn’t taste good and the waiters aren’t the fastest either

Both service and taste of food is excellent especially mixed Kebab plate should get a Michelin Kebab star

Mixed grill superb value. Lamb cutlets and lamb skewers especially outstanding. The chilli sauce very fresh and fragrant

The food was tasty, but unfortunately the salad had hair in it.

Very tasty starters, the antep ezme was excellent. The durum was fantastically delicious, and the price/performance ratio was top-notch. We'll definitely be back.

We came and sat down, we ordered mixed grill for 2 people, 40 minutes later we asked where our order was, they forgot it, they said sorry, this is not the kind of service they have, the staff said you can stay if you want without bringing the food.

A great restaurant I would recommend to everyone

The food is delicious and the staff is friendly. Everything is great.

In the alleys of Cologne, where the restless and often murky stream of life tugs at the facades of the buildings, there are places where the soul can anchor for a moment. You don't seek them; you find them when the time is right and your inner compass calls for a quiet truth. So my friend and I found ourselves at Adana et, a house that promised little from the outside, but inside exuded the warm, honest scent of charcoal and grilled meat—a smell that evoked distant, perhaps never-experienced homes. ​We ordered the doner kebab plate, a dish with a simple name, but one that revealed an entire world on its white porcelain. It wasn't a meal for hasty, superficial enjoyment. No, it invited contemplation, an immersion in the essence of things. ​There lay the meat, sliced ​​into fine layers, on a bed of rice, as bright and innocent as many childhood memories. Every piece bore the traces of fire, that wild, purifying force. It was tender, with a juiciness that seemed unrelated to this noisy, mechanical world. With every bite, one tasted the honest work, the dedication of man to his craft, an almost forgotten melody in the din of time. It was a taste that nourished the soul, that united the ancient duality of animal and spirit, of raw nature and ennobling culture, in a single, fleeting moment of harmony. ​Next to it was the salad, in the colors of a summer garden, cool and fresh, a counterbalance to the warmth of the meat. And the sauce, a gentle, white wave, tinged with the faint hint of garlic, that connected everything without dominating it. It was like watching the flow of a river, meandering its way, sometimes calm, sometimes powerful, yet always in harmony with itself. ​For me, this kebab plate reflected life itself: the simplicity that often conceals the deepest essence, the necessity of light and shadow, of fire and water, to create a whole. The noisy, bustling city pulsed around us, but for the duration of this meal, we sat on an island of silence. We barely spoke, for what would there have been to say? The true dialogue took place within, a silent communion with the simple, profound truth of this perfect moment. ​You might call it just a kebab plate. But for me, it was a lesson in mindfulness, a fleeting glimpse of that unity we so often search for in vain in our fragmented existence. Those with ears to hear and a palate to taste will find in Adana et more than just a dish. He finds a piece of a world in which things still have meaning and sound.

My favorite restaurant in all of Cologne and the best kebab in all of Cologne.

That the best restaurant can make kebab. Oh my God so delicious.😍😍

Very good food, good service, we have been eating lamb, doner, pide, everything was tasty

Unfriendly service; my plate was taken from the table before I'd even finished my meal. You're under constant scrutiny! But the meat quality is excellent.

For me, the best fast Turkish food in Cologne...Always fresh and super delicious...

We went for dinner with my family. The food was delicious, but the service was terrible. We ordered the Adana wrap, which was ground in a steel-cut kebab, and the meat was as delicious as kebabs in Turkey. The portion was huge. I was only slightly disappointed with the flatbread in the wrap; it was rubbery and had nothing to do with the flatbreads in Turkey. We ordered hazelnut lahmacun for the kids. It cost €5, but as you can see in the photos, the portion was incredibly small. It wasn't worth the money. The plain ayran (yogurt drink) was delicious, and we drank it wholeheartedly. As for the service, the waiter who served us was very rude, completely clueless about how to treat customers. I witnessed him being rude to other customers as well. I won't go into details. We also waited a very long time to order and for it to arrive. After sitting down, our order was taken within 15 minutes, barely requiring us to remind him. Two wraps arrived in 30 minutes. I can say we only had our first bite 45 minutes after sitting at the table. There are also no refreshments, such as mashed salad, etc. If you're very hungry, I recommend going there with the expectation of a long wait. I understand that service delays like this can occur in Germany due to a shortage of staff, but if you're short on space, you can leave part of your restaurant open and your customers happy with your establishment. Those who are willing to wait in line at the door will be welcome, and those with children and very hungry will likely choose other establishments. In conclusion, when you consider the waiter's rude behavior and the long wait while hungry on one side, and the taste and quality of the food on the other, I'd say I'd rather not come back. Enjoy your experience to everyone who wants to try it.

We had a mixed Adana grill. It was simply amazing and absolutely recommended! Every piece of meat was grilled to perfection, juicy, and incredibly delicious! Fariz welcomed us warmly and took excellent care of us. The chilies we ordered were truly worthy of their name 🔥 We'll definitely be back!

The food was delicious, and the service was very, very fast. The waiter, Fariz, was very friendly and accommodating, a very pleasant person. 👍 We will be back. ❤️❤️

We came from France to Cologne and found this place online. I'm so glad we did. The kebabs here are all delicious, especially the Adana variety. I can't find anything to say. I highly recommend it to everyone. You won't regret coming here. 10 out of 10 is not enough. I say 11 out of 10. Thank you very much for your service.

Good restaurant, good food, just a little too salty… The bad thing is that they ask for tips when paying by card

I ordered a doner kebab with cocktail sauce and tzatziki. Unfortunately, the sauce was very unevenly distributed. There was only the sauce on top, and nothing at all from 1/4 of the way through the doner. The "cocktail sauce" tasted strongly of curry and overpowered the actual doner flavor; there was no tzatziki at all. On the plus side, the roasted meat was really good. What completely disgusted and revolted me, however, was that the employee behind the counter, who was in charge of the doner, was constantly picking at his fingernails during my entire stay, while salads and other ingredients were left openly displayed. This seemed extremely unhygienic and took away my appetite, so I didn't finish the meal.

The food is truly excellent, but the experience is greatly spoiled by the waiters. Arguments and disrespectful behavior often break out among them, which should not occur in front of guests.

Ordered Adana dürüm, dürüm was like plastic, the meat was of normal quality and the tzatziki consisted of salad dressing sauce.

Once again, I had really good food and drinks. Very friendly and fast service. This is by far the best kebab you can get in town.

Was there on September 6, 2026 at 2:00 PM. I asked for two seats on the terrace, whether there were any available. The gray-haired waiter said I'd have to wait a few minutes. This wasn't a problem for me and my colleague. Other people arrived after us, and he gave our seat to other guests who, of course, didn't have a reservation. Later, when I finally got a table, which I had arranged myself, I only ordered an Adana plate that wasn't cooked through. When I pointed this out to the same waiter again, he took my plate and cooked it thoroughly, slamming it down on the table as if he were throwing it to a dog.

The best kebab I've ever had the pleasure of eating. The meat is truly exceptional. I highly recommend trying it.

I recently went to Adana Et in Cologne and we had a really good evening. The food was excellent, super fresh, perfectly seasoned, and simply perfect in terms of taste. You can tell that real quality is served here. I also really liked the atmosphere – cozy, inviting, and you immediately feel welcome. The service was attentive and friendly without being intrusive. I'll definitely go back.

The grill arrived on the table after 5 minutes, and most of the meat was cold! It had obviously been prepared a long time ago, stored, and then placed on top of the pile of rice. When I approached the waiter, he didn't respond at first, and the second time he said, "The others aren't complaining either! Look, the place is packed."

Friendly staff, amazing grilled meats including sauces and bread. A garlic sauce could be added. The ezme is very tasty. The skewers are great! Highly recommended.

Great place for authentic Turkish cuisine.. always happy to come back..😘

Take away the bread with the 3 dips at the beginning, otherwise I won't be able to eat anything else 😂

Why does the doner meat in the bread have a tuna-like consistency? Who knows how long the meat has been sitting there? It doesn't taste good at all because it's so hard. 😡😡This is a rip-off!

I actually just wanted to walk through the shopping mall, but when I passed by, I really wanted to try the doner kebab – after reading that it was named Germany's best doner kebab in 2024. And I have to say: It was really delicious and fresh. The best doner kebab I've ever eaten so far – I can absolutely confirm that rating.

It's OK. The sliced ​​BBQ meat is delicious, and everything else is just OK. The owner is very nice but doesn't speak English.

There were eight of us eating here. The quality of the food was decent. The staff was very attentive. The food was served appropriately.

We drive 60 kilometers to Cologne every month just to experience this explosion of flavor. I'm never disappointed. It doesn't matter how you do it, but to deliver this well every time is simply amazing.

I've been at home on Hansaring for years, and used to be a regular customer at Adana Et Kebab – but yesterday was the last straw for me. The waiter kindly beckoned me in, I ordered a doner kebab, and then NOTHING happened. Instead, I was repeatedly ignored, strangers were served after me, and I was ignored – accompanied by laughter from the staff. There used to be respect and good service here, but now it feels more like a comedy show on your back... Never ever again...

I enjoyed it, and the conditions were very pleasant. I'd be happy to come back anytime.

Unfortunately, very disappointing. The service was unfriendly and our requests were not accommodated. The food was of poor quality and didn't live up to our expectations. Furthermore, it felt like the staff were neither listening nor caring about their customers. We will not recommend this restaurant and certainly won't visit it again.

We ordered lahmagun with Adana, but they made it without, and they still took our money. Never again.

Very, very delicious food. Quickly prepared, good service, and free bread, dips, and a mixed salad as a starter. It was SO delicious! The bread was sick - and so was the chicken skewer! I'd be happy to go back! Everything was wonderful!!!

Unfortunately, our visit was disappointing. The dürüm didn't live up to our expectations: The dough was very pale, not crispy, and didn't seem to be cooked properly. It was also cold and dry, as little or no sauce was used. The service could have been friendlier and more attentive. We unfortunately didn't feel well looked after. It's a shame; we were looking forward to a better experience. In our opinion, we wouldn't recommend it.

They added a lot of spices to the ground meat to mask the smell. I didn't like it at all and I'll never eat it again.

Highly recommended, fresh, tasty, good portions.

Good and easy to reach, The food is delicious. The service is excellent. The staff there are friendly and helpful. What did you like? I recommend it, I will eat again. Thank you...

Very good food. Delicious and relatively cheaper than comparable restaurants. I had a mixed Adana grill plate, and my companion had a large mixed dürüm. The service and staff were excellent!

One of the best kebabs in Cologne! I often go to Adana Et on Weidengasse, and it's always delicious. Today I had a kebab parcel with unique, perfectly seasoned meat—simply amazing! Very friendly, polite service, and even a small round of cash from the staff. Highly recommended! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Super Top very good very nice staff cihan

Delicious grilled food served by friendly people, on the street.

Slow order very bad too expensive

Very, very tasty. I ordered an Adana and a doner kebab. I must say, the best doner and Adana kebab I've ever had. The waiters were also very nice, everything was great. I'll probably be back soon.

The food was truly delicious, with a good selection and quality. The staff were also consistently friendly and attentive. Overall, we had a pleasant time, and I can recommend the hotel, especially to those who value good food and friendly service.

Very good and fresh food. The waiters were very friendly and attentive. Top-notch Turkish cuisine.

For me, this is by far the best shop in Cologne and the surrounding area. When it comes to meat, no one beats them.

Very friendly staff, highly recommended

Very tasty food, highly recommended

Even in Istanbul, people have heard about the flavor explosion at Adana Et, and they're coming to Cologne without hesitation. While browsing the reviews, an image caught my eye: A Turkish ambulance with Istanbul license plates, parked right in front of Adana Et on Weidengasse in Cologne. The reputation of this kebab seems to extend beyond national borders. So I tried it and wasn't disappointed: The first slice from the skewer was juicy, tender, and savory. A generous portion of meat, crispy bread, and fresh vegetables. Accompanied by uludağ and strong Turkish tea. Conclusion: If you're looking for a kebab that's a hit even in Istanbul, this is it. A clear recommendation with a wink.

I had the Lamb Shish and was very pleased. The meat was tender and well-cooked, not burnt! Thank you!

The food here is pretty good—the best Iskender I've ever had. I really enjoy eating here, but I never feel warmly welcomed because your staff isn't particularly friendly. The first few times I went, I always tipped—which didn't get a positive reaction from the waiter at all, which is why I won't tip anymore from now on. Your food is good, but that's about it, unfortunately.

I went there on the recommendation of my friends from Cologne and this place did not disappoint me, the food was very good and fresh, it was the first time I ate in a Turkish restaurant and I can say that the service was wonderful, first of all my order included salad, bread and some sauces (Turkish dip sauce ;) ). I don't know if they speak English, considering that my friends helped me order in Turkish, but I'm sure you'll be able to understand them in the end.

Very good food, fast and friendly service.

Super delicious Adana skewers Greetings from Lake Constance

Delicious Adana with a good grilled flavor. The service is good, albeit a bit disorganized at times. The prices are higher, but reasonable for the quality.

I've lived in Cologne for a long time, and this place remains my favorite when it comes to Turkish food (especially Adana kebab). The service is quick, and you always get plenty of bread with dip and salad as a starter. Plus, the opening hours are unbeatable. Especially after partying/drinking a beer.

Good grill plate for 4 people. Absolutely reasonable price.

If the way to a person's heart is through their stomach, Adana is Allah's embrace. Others go to yoga, I go to Adana. ❤️

Delicious food from the charcoal grill. Best Turkish BBQ in the area 💪

Super delicious and friendly delivery.

Very tasty kebab and good sauces, best kebab in Cologne that I have eaten so far from Cologne

Wow :) maybe the best Turkish restaurant in Köln. Food is high quality, fast and very good service. Fabolous 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Cihan was so kind 🥰🥰🥰 thank you for everything.

Probably the best kebab I've ever had in my life. I'd love to come back here.

It was absolutely super. I liked it very much. I recommend it to everyone

Clean, very attentive staff, we ate twice the portion of food as in Turkey for the same money, we liked it very much, we recommend it to everyone.

Very good food! The food came quickly. I ate there with a Turkish colleague. Unfortunately, I was simply ignored when I asked questions, and they spoke to my colleagues in Turkish. When I wanted to order a Coke Zero, I was also simply ignored, and my colleague had to order. Therefore, the service lost two stars. It was very crowded; we sat right on the sidewalk, and people from the street were very close and sometimes looked at my plate. Nevertheless, I would visit this restaurant again and recommend it because the food was excellent!

The meat inside was raw, extremely tasteless and extremely expensive. When paying the bill, they asked for a mandatory tip, I didn't want to give it, but the white-haired, shameless man who was probably a partner or the owner of the place said I had to give it. I don't recommend it, don't go. Also, a meal for 4 people cost 125€

We went in the midday heat and sat outside. To be honest, I didn't ask if there was air conditioning inside, but the food was generally delicious and the service was fast. I will try it for dinner.

Good service and very tasty And good prices Bari's best man

Very tasty and very friendly staff Baris' best

I haven't had such delicious kebabs outside of Türkiye in a long time! Very friendly service, everything very clean, and excellent food. Highly recommended. 5*****

Very tasty and absolutely recommended.

I would like to thank the staff and the owner of Adana meat restaurant separately. When we came back from Turkey, we were hungry at around 20:00 at night. I looked online. I am glad I stopped by. There was a chef and I forgot his name. I am sorry. We ate Adana kebab. The doner and soup were great. Thank you. I hope I will stop by this year when I go. If not, I will definitely stop by when I come back. The taste of the doner is still fresh in my mouth. Thank you for everything. Good luck. Love and respect from Holland. Just a note: There is a parking problem.

Some of the tastiest Turkish food I’ve tasted in my life! The mixed grill was incredibly tasty. The service was really lovely too. 10/10 experience

Definitely recommended. The food is delicious. The meat is cooked to perfection. We'll be back.

Best food By Danyal, 7 years old

I ordered home delivery but the food was still hot and delicious. It was packaged nicely so nothing inside the bread was falling apart. The meat was delicious.

Everything in the mixed grill was burnt except the Adana. The meatballs were burnt to a pitch black that they were inedible. Unfortunately, the service was slow and indifferent because the number of staff was very few. I would not choose it again.

We ordered a mixed plate for two, very tasty and a lot. We couldn't eat it together. Ayran is super! We visited in June 2025. Their grilled food is super.

The food we ate was burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. The service is not good at all, excuse me but they act according to your money. Some people ask "did you like it" every minute, some even bring a menu when you enter (you take it from the table next to you). Don't expect anything special.

Great service, great food, we will definitely be back

We were in Cologne, and that meant we had to go to Adana Et. Despite it being a Saturday evening, we were quickly seated at a table for three. We received a very warm welcome, and our drinks arrived very quickly. And then the food was just like you'd expect from a vacation. The Adana grilled meat was delicious, and our daughter also really enjoyed her Dürum. We'd love to come back!

Great food! We're from a bit further away, and everything was fantastic. We can't normally eat Adana or minced meat outside because it always contains cartilage. Your Adana was delicious. We'll definitely be back.
