Ata - Oriental Soulfood in Baden-Baden

I can't understand doner kebab with carrot, otherwise everything is great.

A very nice and cozy location. The staff is very friendly and you immediately feel welcome. The food was also delicious. Highly recommended!

Very friendly staff, comfortable, and the food tastes very good. If you ask, you can get Wi-Fi.

Here you can get doner kebabs like they used to be made, with proper meat and a top-notch taste – not your average, run-of-the-mill doner.

The meat is really excellent. I tried the beef and can recommend it. Everything else is no better or worse than in other average kebab shops. The bread could be crispier for my taste.

Portions have halved in recent months, while prices have doubled. Card payments are often not accepted (greetings to the tax authorities)... No longer recommended. The doner kebab is now just run-of-the-mill, neither particularly good nor bad. But expensive.

We went there because of positive reviews. We ordered a special doner plate, a special doner yufka, a doner box, pide with mozzarella, and lahmacun. The doner itself was okay; the side dishes and sauce were good. But good doner is made with good meat, not frozen, factory-made doner. Unfortunately, the lahmacun was terrible. As you can see from the photos, it was covered in all sorts of greens. The doner box and mozzarella pide were also okay, but the worst part was that we waited an hour. I'm sorry, but nobody told us we'd have to wait that long. That's unacceptable.

Awesome doner kebab, especially the signature doner.

Best doner kebab by far, it was really great 👍🏼

The meat was absolutely delicious – the best doner kebab I've ever eaten. Highly recommended! 🔥

Yufka, vegetarian and classic. Top-notch. The dough and breads are homemade (increasingly rare). The toppings are generous. And the menu is quite varied.

We visited ATA Grill Soulfood in Haueneberstein and were thrilled! The food is simply outstanding – flavorful and prepared with great care. You can immediately tell that quality and passion are paramount here. The grilled dishes, in particular, are perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. My absolute favorite dish is the pide with sucuk and egg – simply incredibly delicious! The dough is perfectly crispy, and the highlight is the delectable cheese crust, which makes it even more special. The spicy sucuk harmonizes perfectly with the egg – a true delight! But be warned: come with a big appetite, the portions are more than generous! The ambiance is also modern and inviting, making you feel right at home. The team is very friendly and attentive, creating a pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommended – we'll definitely be back!

I'm from out of town and I'm really impressed. The food is delicious, the staff are very friendly, and the atmosphere is really pleasant. I'd love to come back again!

A really nice place, honestly it's one of the best doner kebabs I've ever had. One small oversight: we ordered fries but they never arrived… Reasonable prices and really very good food.

Amazing doner kebab, delicious cola, zero-calorie ayran, delicious fries, thank you so much for everything!

The portions were good, but didn't justify the price. The floor was extremely oily and very slippery, the tables were dirty, and the restrooms were almost shocking. I haven't seen such a restaurant restroom in a long time. It was clear no one had cleaned or tidied up that day. The place is significantly smaller and less inviting than it appears in the pictures. I wouldn't go back...

I unfortunately have to revise my review from three years ago. We were really dissatisfied the last few times. The vegetables were sometimes not fresh, the yufka dough was often too dark or burnt, and on top of that, the wait times were very long. The music is also frequently incredibly loud. Today was the final straw: Monday, 5:00 PM – no more yufka, sold out, and not even an apology. So we ordered a pide and received chicken/turkey meat (definitely not doner meat) without even asking – and that for €18. The restroom was also in a bad state, with no toilet paper. Particularly disappointing: the doner sauce, which I used to praise as the best in the area… what happened? Today it just tasted like coconut. The service: The guys are nice, but their hospitality and service definitely have room for improvement. If you charge these prices and keep raising them, you have to deliver. That's it for us – we won't be back.

Very good steak doner, fresh vegetables, good bread, good meat.

One of the top places I ate kebab

Delicious doner kebabs and great appetizers and desserts. Excellent service, always friendly. Legendary.

I'm usually a very happy customer at Ata Soulfood and have always been satisfied. However, today's visit was disappointing. I picked up two Adana dürüms to go. This week they're advertising a special offer (dürüm including ayran for €9.90). The first two or three bites were okay, but then it became clear that there was far too little meat in the dürüm. Instead, it consisted mainly of vegetables, which meant it didn't deliver the typical Adana meat experience, and the overall ratio of ingredients was off. This is unacceptable for a dish that's explicitly advertised as Adana. In the future, they should probably forgo the ayran in the offer if there isn't enough meat in the dürüm. This isn't the Ata Soulfood I know, and I hope the quality returns to its usual standard.

Meat not good, doesn't keep to the time, quite expensive...

The doner kebab itself is delicious – fresh ingredients, well-seasoned, and overall excellent in terms of taste. Unfortunately, the experience is significantly marred by the extremely long wait. Despite it not being busy, we had to wait a very long time for our food. It's also a bit pricey. Those who have the time and patience will be rewarded with a delicious meal. However, those in a hurry should probably look for an alternative.

Advertised as the "best doner kebab of 2025," it's completely incomprehensible to me. The yufka costs €10.50, with extra meat an additional €4.50, so €15 in total. What you get for that is underwhelming: mostly salad, red cabbage, and sauce; the meat is practically lost. Despite the "extra meat," the whole thing feels more like an overpriced vegetable wrap. The ingredients are poorly mixed, the wrapping is sloppy, and while the meat is good, it's by no means outstanding or worth the price. €4.50 for extra meat is simply extortionate, especially for this amount. The price-performance ratio is disastrous, the hype incomprehensible. A complete disappointment for me; I definitely won't be back.

21 euros for a 0.33l Coke and a simple doner pizza that didn't even taste good! Definitely not recommended!

After many visits, we've increasingly noticed that the price-performance ratio is no longer right. It tastes like any kebab from a train station. The owner's arrogance is off the charts. Cash only. I wonder why 🤫. And then they charged us way too much for drinks. Never again.

Great food and really friendly staff! Highly recommended!

I was in Baden-Baden today and had seen this kebab shop on TikTok a few days before. So I really wanted to eat there. A friend and I ordered two kebabs and two Cokes. It was around 12:30 pm. The steak kebab was definitely from the day before, in my opinion, as the spit was already about 70% empty by that time, which I find hard to believe. It took 30 minutes for the food to arrive – for just two kebabs. The prices here are really high: a can of Coke costs €4, a kebab about €10. Taste-wise, it was nothing special, just standard, run-of-the-mill meat. Card payment isn't possible, only cash or PayPal. I'll be avoiding this kebab shop in the future.

I happened to be in the area and decided to grab a bite to eat here. I ordered a doner kebab and received it after about a 15-minute wait. The doner bread was delicious, as were the sauces. Unfortunately, the meat wasn't entirely convincing; it didn't seem very fresh. The location and the atmosphere are really lovely. However, I found the prices quite high overall—especially a can of Coke for €4.

Delicious doner kebab and absolutely friendly staff. Top-notch atmosphere and service. Not your average doner kebab shop. It's perfect.

A very nice place with a great atmosphere and very friendly service. The food was sensational and very reasonably priced.

Very nice team, best doner kebab I've ever eaten

I have to say it: Our visit there completely blew us away. We went out for a family meal – and what we got wasn't just good… it was way beyond anything you'd expect from a kebab shop. The food? A true explosion of flavor. The service? So warm and welcoming, you feel like you're eating at a friend's house. This isn't just any ordinary place – it's a place where quality, passion, and respect are evident in every detail. You could walk in sight and know: you're in for a treat. It was our first visit – but definitely not our last. Absolutely fantastic. Respect on every level. And one more thing I want to make clear: Reviews are perfectly fine – they help many people decide whether or not to eat somewhere. But ultimately, everyone is different. Anyone complaining about waiting times or supposedly "too expensive food" should maybe just read the menu and be realistic. ... So, folks: Form your own opinion. We formed ours – and it was outstanding.

Waited over an hour for a doner kebab.

The owner is incredibly nice, the doner kebab is premium, a truly well-rounded experience.

Very good kebab restaurant. The ambiance is appealing, the doner kebab is delicious, and you definitely leave full. The staff and hygiene also make a very good impression. I was here for the first time today, but it won't be the last ;-) I deducted one star in 2026 because the price-performance ratio is no longer acceptable for the regular yufka.

This is not a place to eat – this is a place to fall in love.

I was at work in Haueneberstein and had already heard about this kebab shop on the radio. I wanted to grab a quick bite during my lunch break. Unfortunately, I had to wait 30 minutes before I could even place my order, and then the preparation took an unusually long time. (-1 star) The food itself was okay. The "regular" yufka wasn't anything special. I've had more elaborate and interesting ones prepared in Karlsruhe. When it came time to pay, my jaw dropped. The prices are so exorbitant and so far removed from any other expensive kebab prices that I'm seriously wondering if I somehow paid for something twice. (-2 stars) I didn't order a "premium" or "giant" yufka. Apparently, they charge more for food here because of an award. For a kebab shop, these are "dining prices." And then there's the fact that the payment methods are unnecessarily complicated and limited. For prices like these, I expect the type of card I use to be irrelevant. (-1 star) All in all, I can't recommend this kebab shop for a quick lunch break. The restaurant itself looks nice, and those with time to spare can certainly have a pleasant dining experience.

ATA Grill & Kebab – Oriental Soulfood is simply amazing! Incredible flavor, everything super fresh and perfectly seasoned. The team is incredibly friendly and makes you feel instantly welcome. And the steak in the doner kebab? Absolutely divine – juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor. Definitely one of the best doner kebabs I've ever eaten. I'll be back again and again! 🔥🥙

The price is unfortunately too high, otherwise there's nothing to complain about.

Terrible service, over an hour's wait, no communication, not good at all, extremely dry meat, a very bad experience.

First and last time. The service was far too slow. We ordered kebabs. The meat was dry, like meat chips, and there was more salad than anything else—a salad sandwich… I really don't recommend it.

Today I bought a yufa, it was too dry, took forever to chew, and the meat was just as dry with chunks of fat in it. And you couldn't taste the steak at all, just the sauce, and it cost €10.50.

Very good yufka and similar dishes. It's best to pre-order food by phone; otherwise, you can easily wait 30 minutes for a single yufka during peak hours, as everyone is served in turn.

We were there yesterday, and the food was good. The pide was huge, but it also cost €18. It tasted good, but not the best I've ever had. The doner meat, on the other hand, was quite delicious, unlike anything I've had before. The doner sauce was also very good. However, the service left a lot to be desired. We were served by a young woman who wasn't very customer-oriented; she was rather unfriendly and not very polite. We asked if she could pack up the rest for us, and she said, "I'll bring you the boxes, and you can do it yourselves, okay?" instead of, "I'm really busy right now; would it be okay if you could do it yourselves today?" Given the high prices of the food, good service should be a given. Her manner of speaking to us wasn't exactly friendly either. Furthermore, they had no Coke, no Coke Zero, and no regular doner meat left—all this on a Saturday evening at 8 p.m. The next table also wanted to order a Coke, but the server explained that they were out. After some back and forth, they changed their minds, and the server responded with a snide "Well, there you go," just like when they had recently opted for iced tea... All in all, the food was quite good and the restaurant was nicely decorated, but the service significantly detracted from the experience.

For the past two or three weeks, they've been offering this new premium steak, and what can I say? It's by far the best meat in the whole area. The ribeye is cooked to perfection, sliced ​​beautifully thin, and has a real, authentic flavor without any of the additives and preservatives. The new steak actually costs the same as the other cuts of meat (everyone else around charges an extra €1-2) – which I think is great. The service was excellent; the owner and staff were incredibly friendly. I had a baked yufka and couldn't even finish it because it was so big (but it was really delicious). There's absolutely nothing to complain about; it's the best place around. Cheers!

I spontaneously drove to ATA in Baden-Baden one evening because I'd heard so many good things about it. Even though it was my first visit, I was greeted incredibly warmly. I wanted my doner kebab without tomatoes, and the owner himself immediately asked if I had a tomato allergy. You can tell he's thoughtful and truly passionate about his business. The food was absolutely delicious, and the owner is an exceptionally friendly person. Highly recommended – I'll definitely be back.

So, I ate at ATA for the first time today, and the service was an absolute disaster. I waited an hour for two doner kebabs and two doner boxes, and in the end, it didn't even deserve that long. The bread was too crispy, the doner box arrived without cutlery, and there were no napkins either. The doner itself tasted okay.

We waited over an hour for our food. The service was friendly, but we were constantly ignored. There was also hair in the food. I was really disappointed and wouldn't recommend it!

We went to ATA today and were very disappointed. I got a doner kebab that was more like a salad sandwich – hardly any meat, but four (!) pomegranate seeds – and that for €15.50. My colleague also had a doner kebab, and there was practically no meat to be seen in his either. To us, it seems like a complete rip-off. In total, we paid around €40, including a can of Coke for €4. The value for money is extremely poor. You can clearly tell that they're more concerned with making money than with quality or customer satisfaction. For me, that means: Never again. Baden-Baden has so much more to offer than places that are only out for profit.

Unfortunately, the prices are too high. €13 for a cold çiğ köfte yufka with dry bread is not the best experience. The other dishes are definitely worth 5 stars in terms of taste. The pide looked very good, but even there, €18 is too expensive for me. A shame.

Outstanding quality, best doner kebab I have ever eaten.

Best doner kebab I've ever eaten. Very friendly staff. 13/10

Best doner kebab in the area and friendly staff 12/10

Always a pleasure. Super friendly staff. Very nice owner and world-class döner. The award for the best döner is well deserved.

Best service I've ever had! The young lady was very attentive. Great experience! Best doner kebab in the area. I will definitely come again.

Service and food were excellent

The food was delicious. The server was exceptionally friendly and attentive to all our needs. The atmosphere was also very inviting and cozy.

Very good and friendly and high quality food with big sizes

"Great atmosphere! Very tasty food and large portions."

The food tastes okay, but the price-performance ratio isn't right for me. The prices are sometimes even higher than in some Italian restaurants. I was annoyed that there weren't any smaller portions for children and not even small bottles of water for kids – that feels like a rip-off. The service was neutral, nothing special. At these prices, I would expect the staff to at least be paid well. Overall: taste okay, price/selection needs improvement. 7 euros for water is simply not normal.

Good doner kebab, but they always put in things you don't want, and a doner box for €10 is crazy...

Yesterday I ate at ATA Grill & Kebab – Oriental Soul Food for the first time, and I have to say, it was a special experience. We had a yufka, a baked yufka, a premium döner, and a standard yufka, along with ayran and Coke – all for around 50 euros. Yes, the price is definitely on the higher end, but the overall experience more than justifies it. The place is modern and stylish, with everything designed with great attention to detail. You can tell that they place a high value on quality and presentation. I'd especially like to highlight the premium döner with parmesan and arugula – it tasted fantastic, was juicy, fresh, and exceptionally presented. In short: not just a cheap fast-food joint, but a well-thought-out concept for anyone who wants to experience döner on a whole new level. We were very satisfied and will definitely be back.

Best doner grill and kebab in Germany 😋😋😋

Simply unbelievably delicious! 😋 Whether it's kebab, pide, or other dishes – everything here tastes great and is freshly prepared. The quality is impressive every time. The portions are also quite filling. The selection of dishes is large and varied, so there's something for everyone. 🥙 The ambiance is also beautifully designed – modern, clean, and inviting. You immediately feel at home, whether you eat in or takeaway. 🪷✨ Everything is reasonably priced – not exactly cheap, but absolutely reasonable for the quality and portions. 💸 A clear favorite when it comes to really good kebab! 🔥

The doner kebab was one of the best I've ever eaten. Absolutely amazing.

The best tastiest doner and brilliant (huge, completely freshly prepared) pide, very friendly owners

Super delicious! The staff were also super nice; we received baklava as a gift. :) By far the most delicious lahmacun I've had in a long time. Everything tastes homemade and made with love!!

My husband was really excited the first time, but the last two times the vegetarian yufka was a disappointment. There was far too little sauce, even though we specifically requested plenty of sauce. As a result, it was basically just a dry, oversized wrap full of lettuce with a slice or two of feta cheese, since we ordered the yufka without rice. For €10, that's just not appropriate. I'd rather have a smaller one, better filled, and with more sauce – as you'd expect. We're really disappointed. The pizzas are very good, but unfortunately, they're also incredibly expensive.

If you're looking for a good yufka/doner kebab, you've come to the right place! The quality and freshness of the ingredients are simply top-notch. The sauce is easy to digest and tastes absolutely fantastic. The portions are also very generous and really filling. There's simply no better one in the area. Update after a good two years: the place has simply become outrageously expensive. Yes, you're the best in the area, but €19.50 for a plate of doner kebab? Absolutely unrealistic. I'll probably never eat here again.

Delicious food Service could be better but the good food makes up for it

We recently ate there. We had to wait 20 minutes before our order was taken, even though servers kept rushing past our table. The door to the dishwashing area was constantly open, so the smell of dishwater was constantly in our noses. We had a premium kebab and the iskender. The quality and taste were good, but not really worth the price. €15 for a medium kebab and €24 for the iskender is pretty steep.

Some of the service isn't good. Not recommended. Food is okay. Ambience is okay.

We had a kebab there. The kebab was good, so there's not much to complain about, but it wasn't anything special. But two kebabs (with extra cheese, corn, and rice) plus two drinks for €31 is way over the top.

It is a place to repeat for everything on the menu and very good quality.

Delicious, I tried the falafel and cheese pie 👍🏼

💯 Highly recommended, very tasty food, everything freshly prepared. Service was very attentive and courteous! Thank you, the great team. The baklava was super delicious. Best regards, Giovanni

Great food, friendly staff, what more could you want.

The yufka tastes amazing, and the falafel is also incredibly good. BUT it's the worst rolled yufka: It falls apart, is way too loose, OPEN at the top and bottom, and they skimped on the aluminum foil. It tastes amazing 10/10, but it's -10 for edibility (€9 for a yufka is pretty expensive).

Everything was great, but the whole thing was a bit expensive.

I ordered a doner kebab. It was very tasty. It was a bit pricey, but I also got the premium version for €12.

Now, hand on heart 😂 how much does it cost to be considered the best kebab in the region? Bad is an understatement! Bland bread, salty meat, etc.

Very good kebab, I think the best within a 20km radius, tastes fresh

We went there for the first time yesterday. The food was absolutely delicious. The staff were top-notch with lots of stars, despite the sheer stress. They were super, super friendly. The only downside was the hour-long wait for a kebab. BUT it was incredibly busy. The taste and friendliness made up for everything.

Very tasty food. Good and friendly service. Highly recommended.

Finally, kebab enjoyment at its finest again! I barely ate kebabs for years, since my favorite kebab shop closed. Since then, I've been searching for a comparable taste experience – unfortunately, in vain. Until I came across Ata. Since my first visit there, I've been eating kebabs regularly again – always the premium kebab, which is absolutely worth its price. Fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned meat, a harmonious overall appearance, and a taste that simply convinces. The best kebab I've ever eaten. Thanks to the Ata team for this quality – you brought me back to kebabs!

I was at ATA today. I haven't had such good yufka in a long time. I can recommend it anytime. I will only eat my yufka at ATA from now on.

We came especially because it's supposed to be the best kebab - never in my life! We waited 45 minutes for the kebab to arrive, and we had to pay at the cash register. I've never seen a kitchen so dirty. If we had seen it earlier, we definitely wouldn't have eaten there. Just once and never again!

The bread at the Iskender Kebab was completely squashed and tasted and had a consistency as if it had been dipped in water. It was inedible! We even mentioned it, and the waiter said it was because of the tomato sauce. Never again will it be so expensive for such quality. Because you couldn't eat the bread, you were still hungry after the visit… a real shame.

I was here today and ordered a vegetarian yufka. While preparing other dishes, I noticed that the tongs used for the meat were sometimes used for the salads and other ingredients. When I asked the employee about it, they denied this and immediately started using it again. I left the store in horror without taking my order with me. I find it unhygienic, and as a vegetarian, I find it unacceptable that tongs are used for the meat and all the other ingredients at the same time. Then the "vegetarian yufka" is no longer a vegetarian dish. It should be labeled accordingly… WHAT A SHAME!

Compared to other "normal" kebab shops in the region, ATA deserves about six stars. In my opinion, the kebab is the best in the region. Even though it's the most expensive, it's definitely worth the money. The atmosphere is more like a restaurant than a kebab shop. The staff is friendly, although unfortunately often stressed. It's almost always busy, especially on weekends. But their success proves them right. So why only four stars? We've been regular customers for a few months now and pick up food from time to time, occasionally from other shops, but mainly from ATA. A few months ago, the kebab was significantly better in my opinion! It was fresher, a bit more substantial. Unfortunately, that has slipped a bit, and with this review, I want to encourage the team to improve again. Because you can do it! 😉 Then you'll get the fifth star!

The best kebab in the region—and rightly so. Not only is the atmosphere very cozy, but the food is also really good, and the kebab meat in particular stands out from all competitors in the region. The prices seem very high at first, but once you see the portion size, you quickly realize that the prices are very fair.

Staff super friendly and really delicious food, best kebab in the area

The food costs more than usual at a kebab shop, but it's much more generous and tastes good. The only thing that could be quickly improved is the loud music—really too loud.

Very, very disappointed, despite the many positive comments, I had to leave this comment. I had a yufka that was filled almost entirely with salad, with very, very, very little meat. The wait was interminable even though there weren't that many people. And to top it all off, the prices are excessive for what you get on your plate. I don't recommend it. Such a shame, since this restaurant used to be good; maybe there's been a change of ownership...

Ate here during our recent European road trip. Wasn’t sure what to have so had what the owner recommended. One of the specials and one of the traditional kebabs. Wow. Both were epic! Great atmosphere. There was a constant stream of customers, mostly local people which I find generally means the food is decent. Definitely recommended if you are in the area.

The food is truly a 10/10. The taste is top-notch, the price is a bit higher, but I'm happy to pay €2-3 more for a huge, good-quality portion. The only thing that really bothers me is that if you call in advance and order for pickup, you still have to wait just as long as if you just show up and order on the spot. It's happened to me and others a lot that I call and am told to come by in 20 minutes to pick up, then I'll come, and then they start serving. That's really annoying. It's better to just say straight away, it'll be here in 40 minutes.

Great atmosphere! Small outdoor area on the street. Two rooms with tables inside. Also suitable for groups. The classic doner kebab is okay, but not great. The portion is large, and the selection of ingredients is good. Unfortunately, both the flatbread for the doner kebab and the flatbread for the yufka weren't freshly baked in the pizza oven, but were bought ready-made and only briefly baked in the contact grill or heated on the hot plate. The bread was unfortunately rather soggy. This deducts two stars, considering that the doner kebab costs €8. The service deducts one star, as the waiting times are unfortunately always very long, and even if you pre-order by phone, you have to wait on site until everything is prepared. I hope to be able to raise my rating if they bake the flatbread in-house again. I would be happy, as the doner kebab shop is otherwise a definite recommendation.

The doner kebab plate was generous and delicious with fresh vegetables and a great sauce 🤤 The baklava and mocha are truly authentic here. I'll be back 👍

Premium Döner: A top-class kebab! Fresh arugula, crunchy pomegranate seeds, Parmesan flakes, and juicy meat – a true highlight both in taste and appearance. The homemade sauce completes the whole experience perfectly. The ambiance is modern and cozy, and you can tell that attention to detail is paid to the preparation here. Definitely one of the best kebab shops I've ever visited – highly recommended!
