Ali's Döner in Köln

The staff was very friendly, and the price was reasonable. The doner kebab: The bread was very good, the meat a bit dry, the salad okay, and the sauce too. All in all, an average doner kebab.

Very bad food and unfriendly service. Not recommended.

Finally, real meat. Best veal doner in Cologne.

Delicious! The staff are very friendly too. The doner kebab is very juicy. Lots of sauces to choose from.

One of the best kebab shops anywhere! Fresh meat, crispy bread, delicious sauces, and super friendly staff. Great value for money – I'll definitely be back!

Absolutely the best doner kebab I've ever eaten! The meat is simply top-notch – super juicy, perfectly seasoned, and incredibly fresh. The staff are so friendly, welcoming, and always in a good mood. You can tell they put their heart and soul into their work. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or enjoying a leisurely meal in – everything about Ali's Doner is just perfect. 100% recommended! 🌯🔥

As a Cologne native, I've eaten a lot of döner kebabs all over the city, but Ali's is by far the best döner I've ever had and ever will have. They always think of people in need; the staff is truly warm and welcoming.

Really great doner kebab. The steak meat is 10/10! Definitely recommended!

I was at an event on Saturday and when I was driving home I thought I'd quickly get two kebabs and then head home. When I ordered the two kebabs I paid the so-called 16 euros with my card and was told it had been declined. So I went to my online banking to check and what can I say, it had been deducted. When I showed this to the seller he just said no, it says 'stored here' there are no kebabs. I called the police but they don't come out for things like that.... A real crappy place, best to avoid.

The best kebab in Cologne is definitely here, thank you!

The best doner I've ever eaten here at Ali's Doner!!! I recommend it to everyone! The staff is very kind and attentive🫡

Really good kebab. Definitely saved my Saturday night…

Doner prices are good and the doner is very tasty

As soon as we arrived in Cologne, we were very hungry, so we sat down as soon as we found it. We had chicken and meat döner in a big bun. We paid 11€ for the döner with a Coke. I wouldn't choose it again, as there are better places.

I come here often and always treat myself to a steak kebab. It's really, really delicious and I won't stop by 💪🏼👍🏼

As a gourmet expert in all kinds of cuisine, I can't understand why this döner restaurant has received such a low score. I think it's by far the best and most affordable döner restaurant in Cologne. If you enjoy the taste of meat, it's a perfect fit, but if you're used to eating hay, you might not like it.

The kebab was delicious, but the owners tried to rip us off. They spoke in Turkish, saying they wanted to rip us off because we had a beer in our hands and apparently looked drunk. Unfortunately for them, we understand Turkish. So don't go there, the owners will rip you off!!!

Good meat, everything fresh and tasty

Juicy meat, fresh vegetables, and crispy bread – everything's perfect here! Super friendly service, quick preparation, and fair prices. My new favorite kebab shop, highly recommended!

There is a very strong smell of poop near the entrance

Ali's Döner has several branches in Cologne, and the kebab is always pretty good. Both meats are always of good quality, and the sauces (especially the spicy one) are really good. The bread is okay. The location is a legendary corner snack bar with a long history in Ehrenfeld, and the people at Ali's have made the most of the limited space. The perfect "midnight kebab" for the party district.

Perfect service food tastes great too

Worst kebab in Cologne. Significantly worse than Kudret, Mangal, Oruc, or Mehmet

The falafel at Dürüm is not recommended at all; unfortunately, it's not tasty at all. The ingredients tasted like they'd been sitting around for quite some time and were then simply wrapped in soggy bread. A waste of money.

Very tasty steak doner! The spicy sauce was really hot and also super tasty! 😄

People who work there are very friendly and spread a good energy. Dürum was average.

Service disaster. Shame on the old team.

Great taste - underrated in my opinion Service okay Atmosphere okay

If we say that everything that turns turns, we will get a car tire.

Great. I got a really delicious kebab at 1 a.m. The staff were friendly. I'll be back! The meat was excellent, the bread was good. Everything was perfectly fine. The location isn't really my thing, but the food is excellent. The price/performance ratio is excellent! €9 for a steak kebab with ayran is really good.

The “steak meat” has become worlds worse. Absolutely no comparison to the quality that Ali's kebab once offered. The bread, which was particularly delicious at the time, was also replaced by run-of-the-mill kebab bread. The red cabbage tasted inedibly sour. A huge disappointment what has become of the branch.

Hot sauce is disgusting curry ketchup, staff unfriendly.

Very nice workers, everything is very nice but unfortunately the kebab is offensive, the meat unfortunately doesn't taste good at all, I've already tried the veal and also the "steak" kebab and it doesn't taste like anything and I find the veal very disgusting...

The best kebab on Venloer Str. among what feels like 100 other kebab shops. Last weekend I ate the steak meat completely without sauce with a salad and it tasted great. Unfortunately the quality fluctuates very much depending on the day. Unfortunately, I also had a bad experience, like how many large pieces of fat in the kebab - a matter of luck.

An incredibly good, tasty steak kebab.

The best kebab in Ehrenfeld and there is a lot of competition there. Good selection of sauces and salads, there are vegetable kebabs, halloumi and three different skewers - so there is something for everyone. I've never eaten on site before, there are bar tables in front of the door, but I also think you can easily take kebab with you.

Nice service, delicious food and everything good but a bit incorrect because I was told on the phone that they were still open (the next 30 minutes) so I was there in the next 10 minutes and they were closed so not confidential!

Super tasty. But a little more meat and sauce would be good. The biggest problem with such a delicious kebab is that you can't eat 5 of them :)

I ordered kebab from Ali's a few days ago. A completely normal order that could have been easily implemented. Unfortunately my wish was not fulfilled and I received a completely different dish. I was then very confused and disappointed, I called in the hope of an explanation and perhaps to receive the correct dish. Unfortunately, I was only told that my order apparently couldn't be implemented and that it was my fault because I had described it incorrectly. The fact that I was then told it was my fault unfortunately left me very disappointed, as I was only visiting Cologne and wanted to eat something delicious after a long day. (I wanted a normal pommdöner, but instead of in a box in bread without salad, which I think is not difficult to achieve.

If someone is at the end of the line but orders in Turkish, they get their order first. Furthermore the shop is not clean and sometimes there are sharp bone residues in the meat.

Are you serious? I didn't even look at how he cuts the kebab, but you have to say that you have to fry the meat! Just bought 3 kebabs that are still raw meat! Never again

Ali's Döner in Cologne is known for its fresh and tasty kebab dishes, which are offered in several branches in the city. Particularly noteworthy is the branch on Venloer Straße in Ehrenfeld, which impresses with its bright and clean atmosphere. The glass counters showcase the fresh ingredients, increasing confidence in the quality of the food. The friendly staff ensure pleasant service, and the variety of kebab variations on offer leaves nothing to be desired. In addition to the classic versions, there are also vegetarian and vegan options, so there is something for every taste. ​ A small downer is the slightly higher prices compared to other kebab shops. However, the quality of the ingredients and the preparation justify this surcharge. In addition, it can get a little more crowded at peak times, which can result in longer waiting times.​ Overall, Ali's Döner in Cologne offers a high-quality taste experience in a pleasant ambience. Anyone who is willing to invest a little more will be rewarded with a delicious kebab that stands out from the crowd.

Let it be!! Fraud wherever possible. I ordered a plate for €13 and the bird from the seller also asked for a few euros more. Even though the prices are on the board. He's not even ashamed of cheating people. I had ordered a plate for 13€ and then the loser acted out that I said the amount was wrong and that he was just “turning a blind eye”. Disgusting fraudsters. Rip people off and don't even be ashamed. After a few minutes of discussion, the disgusting, selfish guy didn't apologize. Hard to believe. NEVER AGAIN. And the food was also disgusting and diarrhea-like.

The steak kebab is incredibly tasty. Was very positively surprised!

I could now write line by line what went wrong, but I want to waste as little time as possible for this store, so I can only say: Absolute disappointment!

Very good quality and very good service. Always happy.

very poor service waited over 2 hours and didn't get any food. Absolute disaster over the phone. Not recommended!!!!!

It tastes quite good but is becoming more and more expensive and the service is very unfriendly

We ate the chicken doner, it was very good and had plenty of filling. The portion reminded me of the old doner kebabs in Turkey. It's a nice place to eat when you're hungry, well done 🥰

The kebab tastes great and is big. The fries also taste very good and the portions in the kebab menu are sufficient. The only disadvantage is the seating, as there are only 3 chairs inside and some outside but without heaters. Employees very nice.

Extremely mediocre store. Fries not quite cooked through, so prices are a bit high. Portion is not excessive either.

Too little of the untasty meat Service was a disaster, the shop was dirty

I was there today and it was literally the worst food I could ever have. It couldn't be worse. I'm sorry to say it like that, but I'm not going there

Delicious and high-quality steak meat, fresh bread and delicious sauces - that's what a good kebab should be like! Friendly staff that's why Ali's kebab is one of the best kebabs in Cologne!

Ali’s kebab is really in a class of its own! As soon as you enter the store you are greeted by the warm atmosphere and you immediately feel that everything here is made with love. The team is always friendly and the service leaves nothing to be desired - you immediately feel like you are with friends. And the taste? Unbeatable! The kebab is juicy, the meat is tender and perfectly seasoned. Particularly noteworthy is the fresh flatbread that Ali bakes himself - crispy on the outside, wonderfully soft on the inside. The selection of fresh salads and crunchy vegetables makes the experience perfect. The sauces are also homemade and taste incredibly delicious! Whether spicy, garlic or herbs – there is something for every taste and every variant has that certain something. Value for money? Top! Here you don't just get a kebab, but a real taste experience. You can tell that Ali attaches great importance to quality and freshness - and all at really fair prices. For me, Ali's kebab is not only the best kebab in town, but perhaps even the best I've ever eaten. No matter whether you come over for a quick lunch or in the evening with friends - a visit is always worth it. Absolute recommendation for anyone looking for the perfect kebab!

Clean workplace, lots of meat, great taste

A fantastic kebab! Craziness! Bread is crispy, meat is delicious and the guys behind the counter are great too! And quickly!!! Craziness! You can then eat on the covered “terrace” on small wooden bar tables! Absolutely sufficient! And price/performance is reasonable!

Very tasty, very fresh - highly recommended!

A very tasty kebab, the meat is nice and juicy. In my opinion one of the best kebabs in Cologne.

It is much more delicious than the doner kebab of famous brands, you come here to eat doner kebab :) I had very little to put in it other than meat, but he put extra meat in it, thank you again.

I ordered a vegetarian falafel sandwich - it was very very nice! Good sized portion, fresh vegetables, amazingly tasty, warm grilled vegetables, crispy and fresh falafel and a spicy sauce! Very very nice, thanks guys!

I (Alman 37) was there for the first time yesterday and I have to say it was one of the best kebabs I've ever eaten. And I've eaten a lot of kebab in my life, I really liked it, the bread was nice and airy and fresh and the steak kebab was simply brutally delicious. It's not without reason that it's still very busy at 9:30 p.m. during the week. For me, Uruc kebab in Kyffhäuserstr is the best kebab in Cologne. See you again Ali Abi.

Could be better for the price. Not recommended.

5/5 can't fault the best kebab you can get here

Great kebab, great durum. They're not the cheapest, but the quality is great too!

The first time I ate here the meat was good, the salad was fresh and the fries were fried in fresh oil!!! That was once! Now for the third time, bad old meat, bad fries and unfortunately the salad is no longer fresh either! I mean we pay almost 60 for 3 people and then such a bad meal! Never again!!!

Everything is just right at Ali’s Döner: super fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned meat and crispy bread. You can tell that the work here is done with love and passion. No matter whether you want something quick on hand or want to eat comfortably on site, everyone will find what they are looking for here. Absolutely recommended, always happy!

Mixing in the vegetables could be better but the meat here is excellent and well cooked with great flavour.

The steak kebab is super tasty and absolutely recommended. Portions are large and at a fair price. There is also a large selection of different sauces.

Very very tasty but expensive €8.50 for kebab

Best kebab I've eaten far and wide. The meat in particular is of high quality

Mega tasty, especially Steak Döner Dürüm: a dream!

I would like to thank my colleagues very much, their warm behavior and friendliness makes people feel at ease. May your work be successful.

I really enjoy eating the Dürüm with falafel here, it always tastes really good :)

When you have a terrible night alis döner can still bring you a little bit of joy. Thanks ali

We ordered through Wolt and after waiting we received confirmation that the order was now being delivered. Immediately afterwards we were informed by support that the delivery had been cancelled. Reason: The order was given to the wrong courier and the store did not want to remake the order. At that point we had been waiting for a while, super annoying and poor service.

August 6th, 2024 I have been here often but the last time to date was about 3 months ago. I like the steak kebab and as of today I probably won't go there again. I understand the increased costs in times of the big kebab debate. But raising the prices is one thing, but then only filling the part halfway and handing the money to an unfriendly kebab chef really pissed me off! He'll get away with it in that spot!

Great location right next to McDonald’s at an intersection. Unfortunately, my fries weren't cooked through and the garlic sauce was very dill-heavy. The steak meat was tasty. Not a place to stay.

Nothing to recommend, there was a lot of gristle in my kebab, probably cheap meat quality.

Best kebab in Cologne. The hot sauce (ezme) & meat (steak) 1A. The price is a bit too high but unfortunately it is overpriced everywhere.

In any case, halal tastes really good and I definitely recommend it.

Dürüm was okay but was followed by a staff member the whole way. It's not even worth the star.

Very good doner kebab. Simply delicious.

Falafel Dürum was fresh and extremely tasty. The hot sauce was seasoned just right. Top! 👍

In my opinion the best kebab in Cologne but the tastes are known to be different. Always happy to come back. And to the people who don't like the atmosphere... think about where the store is located 😄

I was there with my mother because I was starving, I wanted to leave it at home to gamble and eat and I was really looking forward to my pommdöner but the fries were too big and there were no spices and the meat was too dry. So that's the name I change it to "dry kebab".

Really really tasty fries! *thank you for ditching plastic 👍🏻

Quality and taste really great. The steak kebab tastes excellent. Certainly one of the tastiest kebabs in the area. The price is also fair and everyone is super nice. Seating and tables were clean and everyone was very friendly with the kids

Was lifting one yesterday and thought to myself "a hangover kebab so that your head doesn't go so bad the next day would be great"... well. Not successful, the soup came back to me.

The best quality kebab in Germany

8€ for 80 grams of meat, there was only a thin layer of meat, and there wasn't even enough salad on it. They probably save on everything. No smiles, tables dirty. Never again

Hello dear team, the meat and the side dishes are all great and you are great people. But can you please remove this parsley from the side dishes? Every time I drive to you I have to bed and hope that you don't have this petasily on it, if you don't have it I order without hesitation. I can't tolerate these herbs and I love your kebab so please just make it separately instead and just ask like everything else if you want it on it!!!

We were looking for something quick and tasty, but it was really tasty meat

The best kebab in Ehrenfeld can only be recommended: AskinYildirim. And Mehmet usta were very accommodating and fulfilled every wish, thank you 🙏🏻

Chicken tasteless Employees look listless and annoyed BREAD was good and tzatziki weak

Truly one of the best kebabs in town!

The kebab with steak is recommended. However, the cocktail sauce tastes a little too strongly of ketchup and mayonnaise. Card payment will be card payment, which is convenient. The restaurant offers both seating and standing options, but these are limited.

Sorry but this is one of the worst Dürum's in Cologne. It doesn't taste like anything.

A very good kebab snack. Salads were fresh, service was attentive and friendly, the steak kebab was incredibly well marinated and seasoned. Very high quality meat and at €7.50 it was still pretty cheap. I think, or am almost certain, that there was no seating inside. There are a few high tables with stools outside for customers. Parking is of course not that easy, the snack bar is at the intersection on Venloerstr. But somehow you find it always what.

Quite okay, no revelation, better & more sauce would probably help ♡
