Ararat in Würzburg

I haven't been there in a while, so I was very surprised. Everything we had was absolutely delicious! Starter, main course, and dessert! Thanks again for the recommendation for the lamb platter, it was really great 😋 Very good and friendly service! Greetings from the two Poles 😄💪

Everything was very friendly, good quality and beautifully presented.

10/10 - Grilled garlic potatoes were excellent, dessert was delicious, and the host was super friendly! We'll be back soon.

It was a spontaneous decision; everything was delicious and fresh, my Dorado was 👍, the Turkish wine was also good, and the prices were reasonable. The service was acceptable. We didn't sit inside, so the ambiance was good; there were comfortable chairs outside, and it was relatively quiet for a street in Sanderau.

Very nice outdoor seating. Incredibly friendly service. Large selection of food at reasonable prices. We'll be back!

So what can I say it was very tasty the kebab was very tender and tasty

Excellent food with super friendly service. Highly recommended!

A super delicious restaurant! The menu invites you to come here again and again. The selection is truly fantastic! The octopus was simply cooked to perfection. Thank you for this delicious meal and the excellent service. Greetings from Unterdürrbach! 😉 Christoph

The food was delicious, from the appetizer to the main course and dessert. Even better than the food was the service! The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Definitely worth a visit. Best wishes from Eibelstadt ☺️

People very nice and open and helpful when it comes to special requests for food

Very, very delicious food with a wide selection! Thank you for the very attentive and friendly service. We'll definitely be back :) Best wishes from the neighborhood!

We ate here with five people, and it deserves just as many stars. Delicious food at reasonable prices, a lovely atmosphere, and excellent staff. Highly recommended

Very delicious food. Super friendly service!😊😊

We were there spontaneously. Super friendly staff and absolutely delicious food! We were happy to listen to their food recommendations; the visit was a complete success! We'll definitely be back! Greetings from the farmer😊

Always very friendly staff, great food, they also cater to intolerances, can only recommend it

The taste was, unfortunately, quite ordinary. We'd already tried delicious mezze in Turkey and hoped to find something similar here – but unfortunately, it was a bit disappointing. However, the atmosphere was very pleasant and the service friendly.

July 2025 Very good food, great ambiance, very friendly and personable owners - No. 1 We come here often and this time we were just surprised that ARARAT is suddenly ranked 13th among the best restaurants in Würzburg on Tripadvisor and no longer No. 1. However, this is totally misleading, because if you select ARARAT from the supposed 13th place, you realize that it is actually in first place (No. 1 out of 399 restaurants in Würzburg). It's really a joke, because once you understand it, you'll understand why you've probably fallen for it a few times before - especially in unfamiliar cities - and thought you were choosing No. 1, when in fact, No. 1 could also be No. 30. Truly outrageous - Tripadvisor should stop misleading people immediately and rectify this. We reserve the right to take further action via the press, etc. Apart from that, ARARAT is and remains clearly number 1! Best regards, Christoph

We came to this city from Antep to visit, the food, service and taste are great and the staff is very friendly and warm, we definitely recommend it.

A great restaurant with delicious food. I highly recommend it.

Great food! The grill plate for 2 people is highly recommended.

Very delicious food – especially the Köfte-Güvec and the pasta dish with chicken breast were top-notch! The service was super friendly and attentive. We sat outside, which was very pleasant given the weather. Definitely recommend it! Best regards, a mixed couple from KO :)

Authentic Turkish cuisine at its best! We were absolutely thrilled! From the very first moment, we felt very comfortable – the ambiance is cozy and typically Turkish, and the staff incredibly warm and attentive. The food was simply fantastic: fresh, aromatic, and prepared with love. We were particularly impressed by the mixed grill and the homemade meze. If you want to experience authentic Turkish cuisine in Würzburg, this is the place to go. We'll definitely be back – highly recommended!

The food was not bad, but it was not successful in terms of price performance. We paid 100€ for 3 people, I'm sure we could have found better elsewhere. NOTE: Unfortunately, the food was very salty, you could have specifically stated that it should not be too salty.

We were here today for a small birthday party. The food was absolutely delicious. The portions were more than sufficient, and we were all full. The owner was very friendly. We'd love to come back. Best wishes from Arnstein

Our visit to this restaurant was an absolute nightmare. After politely pointing out a hair in the food, we were not only ignored, but also insulted, shouted at, and even physically threatened. The chef behaved extremely aggressively and raised his hand at my husband, completely unacceptable and appalling behavior. Instead of apologizing or responding professionally, we were treated in an openly racist and degrading manner. The situation escalated to the point where we had to call the police, which alone demonstrates how intolerable this behavior was. Conclusion: Anyone who values ​​dignity, safety, and humanity should definitely avoid this restaurant. This kind of behavior has no place in the restaurant industry or anywhere else.

On the recommendation of friends, we drove 100km from Bamberg to try the food for ourselves. The food came very quickly and we didn't have to wait long. The town was nice and quiet, with no disturbing cars. The staff were very friendly and great. The food tasted great. We'd go back anytime.

Excellent service, food and place!

It's no coincidence that it's been a staple of Würzburg's gastronomy for decades! It's also the only truly authentic Turkish restaurant in Würzburg (excluding the classic kebab shop, in this case). You always feel welcome, the menu is very diverse and the quality has always been very good 👌🏼 (If you're a fan of seafood or traditional Turkish cuisine, you'll definitely get your money's worth here.) The location and ambiance are top-notch!! Here's to the next 30 years in Würzburg & continued good neighbors in Sanderau 😊 Patrick

Einfach nur top! Das Essen und der Service war super, sehr gute Auswahl an Essen, nettes Personal und nette Sitzmöglichkeiten draußen. Immer wieder wenn man in Würzburg ist!

Unfortunately, I can't judge how typically Turkish the food is, but it is very tasty. Great atmosphere! The service was always very direct but friendly. Perfect Franconian integration ❤️

Approx 20 mins walk from the wine bridge in a residential area. Our 2nd visit & as good as we remembered. Really good food & friendly service. Can highly recommend the grilled lamb fillet & the grilled tuna.

The price/performance ratio isn't right here. The food is very greasy and tastes monotonous. Unfortunately, it's not very authentic.

So delicious and friendly service! I ordered five raw fish and they were all delicious I visited on Mother's Day and they even gave me flowers🤩I also got a documentary recommendation and it was a really fun memory! As expected, it's the country of brothers👍

What can I say? Unfortunately, I was very disappointed! I've been meaning to try this restaurant for a long time. And what can I say? The Sahan Köfte and Adana Kebap were truly delicious, but the veggie pot, on the other hand, could have been had in any run-of-the-mill German restaurant, and the yogurtlu didn't exactly blow us away either! The prices were definitely a bit too high! The biggest drawback, however, is the service. We felt completely unwelcome here and felt like we were ignored the entire evening! The worst of it was when we had to pay by card, they said, "Do you really have to? Don't you have cash?" The place has been around for 35 years. It's practically an institution in Würzburg. The concept seems to prove the place right; unfortunately, I won't be returning!

Ein absolut empfehlenswertes türkisches Restaurant! Die Speisen sind authentisch, frisch zubereitet und voller Geschmack. Besonders das Adana Kebab hat uns begeistert. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, aufmerksam und sorgt für eine angenehme Atmosphäre. Auch die Einrichtung ist stilvoll und einladend – man fühlt sich sofort wohl. Wer echte türkische Küche in hoher Qualität genießen möchte, ist hier genau richtig!

Wow! What a find! Very delicious calamari, cuttlefish and squid. Great salad and Efes beer - couldn’t want for anything else … but then the tartufo was also good. Highly recommend this place!

We had a wonderful evening at Ararat. The food was delicious and the service very friendly. Our dog even got to eat a large portion. We felt completely at home :)

Es ist für mich mit eins der besten Restaurants in Würzburg. Mein Freund und ich gehen jedes Mal sehr gerne hin, vor allem wenn wir mit unserem Tachis unterwegs sind! Das Ambiente dort ist sehr nett und die Besitzer und Mitarbeiter sind alle sehr lieb, freundlich und offen für alle möglichen Gespräche :) Kann’s jedem empfehlen!

Wunderbares türkisches Restaurant! Die Zwiebelsuppe ist super lecker und der Service unglaublich herzlich. Wir fühlen uns immer rundum wohl. Sogar für unseren Hund gibt es immer eine kleine Portion aus der Küche. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Highly recommended! Gladly again.

Excellence Küche, graziöse Bedienung, ausgezeichnetes Ambiente die keine Wünsche offen lässt!!! Speisen noch bei Ararat Würzburg.

Netter und aufmerksamer Service, sehr authentisches Essen mit gut gewählten Weinen. Die Nachspeisen sind mehr als zu empfehlen.

Totally great restaurant. Food super fresh & delicious, family very welcoming! Come again :)

A very friendly team, great service and incredibly good food! Anyone who appreciates Turkish cuisine has come to the right place! We were visiting Würzburg and will definitely go back to Ararat to experience a culinary highlight! Thanks !

Ein absoluter Geheimtipp in Würzburg – 5 Sterne sind eigentlich zu wenig! Ich habe schon viele Restaurants ausprobiert, aber das Restaurant Ararat hat mich komplett begeistert. Schon beim Betreten spürt man die warme, familiäre Atmosphäre. Das Team ist unglaublich freundlich, aufmerksam und sorgt dafür, dass man sich wie zu Hause fühlt – echte türkische Gastfreundschaft eben! Das Essen? Ein Traum! Frisch, authentisch und mit so viel Liebe zum Detail zubereitet, dass man jeden Bissen genießt. Besonders empfehlenswert: das Adana Kebab und die hausgemachten Mezze – einfach nur wow! Dazu ein perfekt abgestimmter Ayran und zum Abschluss ein traditioneller Mokka – besser geht’s nicht. Preis-Leistung ist top, die Portionen sind mehr als großzügig, und auch der Liefer- und Abholservice funktioniert reibungslos. Fazit: Wer in Würzburg richtig gut und authentisch türkisch essen möchte, kommt an Ararat nicht vorbei. Ich komme definitiv wieder – und das sehr bald!

Super delicious food in Ararat :) the menu is very varied and I was always very satisfied. The Turkish food is great 👌

Very good cuisine, even better service! The parking situation in the residential area is a bit difficult, especially in the evenings, but is otherwise easy to reach by public transport.

Ich komme seit vielen Jahren. Der Service ist sehr freundlich und familiär, die Dorade und Fischgerichte sind wunderbar frisch und ein Gedicht. Vielen Dank und bis bald.

Great Turkish restaurant with a large selection – a really nice evening I was at Ararat in Würzburg on a Saturday evening because I immediately noticed the good reviews on Google and the delicious pictures on the menu. The restaurant is a little outside of the city center - about 20 minutes away - but after our day of shopping it was just right. I called shortly beforehand and asked if there was anything available and was immediately greeted in a friendly manner on the phone. When we arrived, the store was well stocked, rather inconspicuous from the outside, but you could already tell that something was going on. Inside, the Ararat is beautifully decorated in an oriental style - cozy and with an atmosphere. A few corners were a bit too dark for my taste, but overall it was really harmonious and pleasant. The greeting was warm, probably the same person on the phone. We were seated quickly, the menu arrived quickly and the selection was large but not overwhelming. I chose swordfish with potato slices and cacık. Since I'm a bit cautious when it comes to yogurt, I asked if there were alternatives. The waitress was super open, explained that the yoghurt was a natural product, and we even had a brief conversation about nutrition - I found it really pleasant. My companion had a starter salad, which looked great, but was unfortunately a bit overloaded with dressing - half of it would have been enough. After about 15 minutes our main courses arrived. And wow – the food was not only beautifully presented, but also tasted great. The potato slices were crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside and really well seasoned. The swordfish was mega - juicy, aromatic, with oriental spices, you even saw whole peppercorns and herbs. The white wine sauce was great and went well with the fish. The only small negative point: due to the amount of sauce, the potatoes were unfortunately a bit soggy at the bottom. I think they should stay crispy - maybe just use less sauce or serve them separately. But that's complaining at a high level. By the way, the cacık was also really tasty – fresh, creamy, exactly how you want it. My companion's meal with three different types of fish was also great. Everything was perfectly grilled, really juicy – ​​there was nothing to complain about. The prices are a bit high, but honestly: absolutely fair for the quality, the portions and the all-round great food. We both went home really full and satisfied - and that's the most important thing in the end. I'll definitely go there again - next time I'll try the vegetarian or meat dishes, they sounded really good too. And who knows, maybe the amount of sauce will be changed by then – that would definitely be cool. Thanks to the team for the lovely evening – I absolutely recommend it!

Die sprichwörtliche türkische Gastfreundschaft kann man hier erleben. Sehr nette Bedienung, großartiger Service und nicht zu vergessen auch ein großartiges Essen. Ein absolut gelungener Abend.

A small, cozy, family-run restaurant run with a lot of love. You can't get the Eseen here in a kebab shop 😂😁

Very attentive service and excellent food

Would you like a more literal translation or a natural-sounding translation in German?

Delicious food in a cozy atmosphere, very nice service.

A wonderful restaurant where we were treated to excellent food and first-class, super-friendly service. We would love to come back to Würzburg from Berlin for that!

Good cuisine and very nice crew

We were here first in 2016 and again in December 2024. Reservation was made quickly. Parking space in front of the door was soon found. Service 5+, you have to say, it wasn't rush hour and only half full, but here the guest is not just a number. Great.‼️ I had lamb liver as a main course and would give that a 5 🌟+. It couldn't be better, and the portion was very generous. Food for the kids was good and sufficient. We'll be happy to come back when we're in the area. Grusetaus Frammerschbich 🤙🏼

Food was very tasty and plentiful (except for the baklava, which wasn't my taste and €7 for 2 pieces is too much. Staff polite and courteous. Ambience authentic but a bit old. Overall recommended!

ein super tolles Lokal mit tollem und gutem Essen, sowie hervorragendem Wirt und Personal alles frisch gekocht, toller und freundlicher Service, wir waren gerne dort die Freunde vom Bodensee und Göttingen

We liked the restaurant because of the friendly service, who always tried to serve us only the best, the food was very good and plentiful, all in all a lovely evening, a greeting from Bremen

The only and best Turkish cuisine in and around Würzburg! You can also get dishes from international cuisine!

Sehr gute Küche...Top.. .schmackhaftes Essen, Freundlicher und guter Service.. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt Gute Preise....würde ich nur weiterempfehlen ...

Heerlijk gegeten en genoten van ons diner. Gerechten waren lekker op smaak gebracht en van zeer goede kwaliteit. De gastheer was zeer vriendelijk en heeft ervoor gezorgd dat we een heel fijne avond hebben gehad.

Super lecker, super freundlich. Grüsse aus der Schweiz 🇨🇭Ararat hat unseren kleinen Ausflug bei garstigem Winterwetter gerettet. Dankeschön!

Sehr leckeres Essen und super nette Bedienung. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen gerne wieder, wenn wir das nächste Mal in Würzburg sind. Liebe Grüße aus Aalen.

Unfortunately, we cannot understand the many positive reviews at all. Unfortunately, from our point of view, the price-performance ratio is not right at all. Unfortunately, €20 for fried vegetables is simply too much. The bread didn't taste homemade either. Service seemed unprofessional and didn't ask for a second drink. We won't come back.

Unfortunately the food was disappointing. The noodles were burnt to a crust and rock hard, but they were swimming in a lot of oil. The announced spinach consisted of a few leaves. Overall, I had the impression that the food was warmed up in the microwave and left in the device for far too long. Overall a. In my opinion, little to no recommendation.

Quite tasty meals. Very kind waiter. Price was fully ok and adequate.

Wow, another rare direct hit. Ambiance: stylish and cozy. Service: Extremely personable, friendly and professional. Food: Incredibly good, we had Sahan Köfte and Biftek Izgara. We like to eat Turkish/Oriental food often, but rarely in this exceptional quality. The Turkish white wine was also excellent. Thank you – also for the raki on the house. Ararat enchanted us.

Wow, wieder einmal ein seltener Volltreffer. Ambiente: stilvoll und gemütlich. Service: Ausgesprochen sympathisch, freundlich und professionell. Essen: Unglaublich gut, wir hatten Sahan Köfte und Biftek Izgara. Wir essen gern und häufig türkisch/orientalisch, aber selten in dieser außergewöhnlichen Qualität. Auch der türkische Weißwein war hervorragend. Essen kam schnell, Portionen waren groß und preislich absolut fair. Danke – auch für den Raki auf’s Haus. Das Ararat hat uns verzaubert.

Das war ein wunderbarer Besuch bei Thomas und seinem Bruder. Hat sehr, sehr gut geschmeckt. Tolle Gerichte und sehr gute Qualität. Klein aber fein! Viele Grüße an Thomas, Dominik & Mareike 👍👍👌

Food was very tasty. Staff was nice.

Best Turkish restaurant in the area. Quality of the food is consistently top! 🔥

Türkische Spezialitäten von guter Qualität zu guten Preisen. Außerdem ist das Restaurant in einer ruhigen Location wo man diese auch genießen kann. Und der Service ist zudem sehr aufmerksam.

I was there with my family and didn't get fresh tea (çay) but rather tea bags. Although the question was asked in Turkish. Then we ordered Turkish tortellini (mantı), which tasted like it came from the freezer. I asked why they tasted so mushy. Soup just like it was made from the bag. The only answer was that it had just been freshened up. Ambiance was okay, but the lady and the chef definitely didn't deserve a star. Too bad for the money

Ich hatte das Vergnügen, das Ararat Restaurant in Würzburg zu besuchen, und es war ein unvergessliches Erlebnis. Von dem Moment an, als ich das Restaurant betrat, fühlte ich mich willkommen und gut aufgehoben. Das Ambiente ist gemütlich und einladend, ideal für ein entspanntes Abendessen. Das Essen war einfach hervorragend! Jede Speise war liebevoll zubereitet und geschmacklich ein echtes Highlight. Besonders die traditionellen armenischen Gerichte haben mich begeistert. Die Zutaten waren frisch und die Aromen perfekt aufeinander abgestimmt. Der Service war ebenfalls ausgezeichnet. Das Personal war sehr freundlich, aufmerksam und hat sichergestellt, dass es uns an nichts fehlte. Sie waren auch sehr kenntnisreich und konnten Empfehlungen geben, die unsere Erwartungen übertroffen haben. Ein weiteres Plus war die umfangreiche Weinkarte, die eine Vielzahl von hervorragenden Weinen bot, die das kulinarische Erlebnis perfekt ergänzten. Insgesamt kann ich das Ararat Restaurant nur wärmstens empfehlen. Es ist definitiv einen Besuch wert und ich werde sicherlich bald wiederkommen!

Very very very very DELICIOUS!!

Tolles Lokal Haben zu zweit gut gegessen, netter Service . Das Essen kam warm,der Fischteller war gut angerichtet. Zum Schluss gab es einen türkischen Moka.

We originally traveled to Würzburg for a different reason. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate. That's why we spontaneously decided to go out for something to eat and came across Ararat via Google search and thought we'd test it out. We weren't disappointed - The restaurant is very cozy, family-style. The waitresses were very courteous and attentive. The hospitality was noticeable in many places. During the meal you could taste that it was homemade, the vineyard leaves, even if they weren't homemade according to the family recipe, are highly recommended. We would definitely recommend the lamb as a main course. We'd love to come back! Many greetings from the SIDO concert.

Very tasty authentic food in a great atmosphere. The fresh fish is always amazing.

Excellent en minute cuisine, no convenience, all good handwork from the boss, delicious Turkish toppings!

We were there last week and found the food really, really tasty and will definitely come back a second time if we are in Würzburg.

Wir sind spontan in dieses Lokal, da es sehr gut bewertet ist. Die Bewertungen haben nicht gelogen, wir haben schon lange nicht mehr so gut gegessen, wie hier! Einfach TOP!

Great restaurant, super nice service, they also gave us advice and helped us decide when ordering :) Great recommendations, the dishes on the daily menu were very tasty. Had a great evening, always happy. :)

Top Lokal, sehr nette und schnelle Bedienung. Mindestens genauso angenehmes Ambiente mit einer spitzen Essensqualität. Schöne Grüße aus Serbistan ;)

Very good seating options outside. Food is recommended

We were at Ararat in Sanderau on a Friday evening and were completely satisfied. The turkey steak with garlic potatoes was, as always, very tasty and the casserole with various vegetables and chicken is also recommended. We particularly liked the warm flatbread with the cacik starter.

Very nice restaurant with super delicious food.

It's too expensive But tastes very good

Super delicious food and great service! Very hospitable, absolutely recommended.

Very tasty... Fish and meat from the grill Super.. Quality excellent... Thank you very much

Very tasty food (my fish and everything else was great too) there were 6 of us. very friendly staff. We'd love to come back.

Very tasty food. Very polite and caring staff. We were very satisfied to eat at this restaurant.

Highly Recommended! The food was extremely tasty, the portions were oversized, the meat was very tender. The service was very attentive and friendly. We felt completely comfortable.

Very good food in a nice environment with a very friendly team (family).

This restaurant is a must-have experience! In fact, the food is so good that it feels like my tongue is being washed with holy water! The Manu is large and the restaurant has a very nice ambience. I would recommend!

I am extremely satisfied and can recommend everyone to stop by here🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

It had been a few years since I was there, in 2016 or 2017. Soup was clearly cold back then (in winter)! Maybe things have improved, I can't judge.

Was there a few years ago. Food was nothing special, the food was at most lukewarm. The service back then was also not professional and not very motivated. I suspect that the Turkish community (there are usually enough Turkish relatives and friends) simply rated the restaurant well in order to push it💵.

Very good Turkish cuisine Friendly service
