bona'me Factory GQ in Köln

I love this place! I've been here three times with my family and have really enjoyed it every time. From the reception to the order to the taste, everything was great every time. You order using a QR code and everything is brought to the table (this is different at some other bona’me locations). Both dinner and breakfast were to our liking. The coffee after every meal was also wonderful.

Very tasty food in a great atmosphere. I'd love to come back.

Very good atmosphere. Recommended for those looking for original oriental cuisine.

Always delicious, always friendly, whether for breakfast or dinner. It also has a wonderful atmosphere, I really enjoy coming here.

Food very good in a nice atmosphere, but a bit expensive.

A great atmosphere with beautiful furnishings. Delicious, oriental-inspired, modern dishes, ordered digitally at the table and served quickly by friendly staff. Small but nice, whether breakfast, lunch or dinner - there's nothing wrong with it!

Super delicious food and a cool location. It's really convenient that you can order online. The food was also brought very quickly.

Food is rather average, but very good ambience and little waiting time.

Food tasteless, meat dry, falafel swimming in hollandaise from the Tetra Pak. The chicken beyti was very fatty and didn't taste like anything. The black Angus kofta were dry and cold. The ambience is nice. Waiters are very nice.

At the recommendation of a friend, we came to dinner with the team. The food tasted great. The service was excellent. We were here with the whole team and were completely at peace. The ambience was very nice, especially the outside area.

Berdan and his team do a great job. Would love to come back.

Good ambience, good food, nice and friendly staff

Great restaurant, great service and excellent food. Gladly again!

Very tasty food! Among the staff, there were some that were super nice and those for whom friendly communication was not necessarily a core competency. Taking a little crash course on body language beforehand makes perfect sense. Then you also realize that the head pulled down with the corner of the mouth pointing in the middle of one direction means: there is the toilet. And the same swivel of the head in the other direction with the corner of the mouth down means: you can sit down there. Everything was very nice and the food was really delicious.

Racist attitude if you are black

Nice and friendly service, super tasty food, also very quick at the table. Top ambience and first class experience!

Thanks to Berdan for the great service.

Nice atmosphere and very tasty food. We always enjoy going here. My favorite are the Izmir Köfte, but everything else tastes good too. The service is very nice and friendly. Price-wise, completely okay.

Very tasty food, good value for money, great ambience

For me the best bona'me in Cologne. I can highly recommend it.

I was very satisfied with the service and the food. I can recommend it to everyone.🥗🍱😍👍🏼

Good food. Need to use a website to order, but food comes quickly.

One of the most beautiful café locations in Germany. The advice and service from Berk were great! We would be happy to come all the way from Frankfurt again for this service :)

Here you can get good Turkish cuisine with esprit. Great atmosphere and easy to order with your smartphone. It can be easier this way. Unfortunately, the toilets are not that clean. A small drawback for an otherwise great restaurant.

Excellent service and breakfast

Great ambience & generous selection of delicious and unusual brunch as well as lunch/patisserie. The service is always very courteous and helpful. We love it every time :)

Very nice employees. Love it here :) very tasty food

We went to this restaurant as the invitation of our friends during our 06-03 Cologne trip. We really liked the food and atmosphere of this restaurant. There is also a back section of the restaurant. Meals are prepared here in the open kitchen. We ate our dinner in this episode 👌

Everything is great! From location to food and service! Really super tasty! And the macaron tarts from the display case! Worth every euro! 😍

Really very good, exotic food that is relatively cheap. You can't make a reservation for two people, but there is usually enough space. Last time I didn't realize how far back the restaurant was; There are tables that would be enough for two restaurants. You order online, so you don't have to wait forever for the waiter to not show up ;-). We had a great one Evening - unreserved recommendation!

Cool concept and ambience - but the food could be of higher quality

For my taste one of the best restaurants in Cologne. Visually and taste-wise. I have rarely been served such fresh food so quickly in my life. And the ordering process is perfect.

Yes, very nice atmosphere, delicious food and nice service. Gladly again!

The food was very tasty and the service was also great and I had a lot of fun because the waiters created a good atmosphere

The Turkish restaurant we visited for breakfast in Cologne was a delightful experience. The food was fresh and flavorful, with a rich variety of traditional Turkish breakfast items, including perfectly baked simit, creamy cheeses, olives, and a delicious menemen. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed morning meal. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. If you’re looking for an authentic Turkish breakfast in Cologne, this place is definitely worth a visit!

Food was okay. Deserts were amazing. But the service was terrible. Any mistakes they make is your fault and you get side eyed for no reason. The waitress we had was nonchalant and borderline rude. Also the app doesn’t work well to order which is not good when your waitress is ignoring you when she passes by. We only got what we wanted thanks to the young man doing the dishes nearby us. Not worth the hype nor the wait.

This restaurant is an absolute disappointment. Despite many positive reviews online, the visit was a disaster. The staff seemed completely overwhelmed, the prices were completely exorbitant, and the food was simply raw - an imposition. The only positive thing was the ambience, but that's not enough to compensate for the miserable overall impression. I can't explain the good reviews and will definitely never go there again. Anyone who asks me will receive a clear warning: Don't do it!

Always great food and a pleasant atmosphere 🤩 we will try many more things from you 🤩

The best branch in the whole country! A unique mix of oriental-inspired, modern dishes in a great atmosphere. A recommendation for every visit to Cologne at any time of day. Please continue like this.

It's a good location to grab something to eat after shopping. Everything is deliciously fresh. It takes a while to get a place but otherwise everything is good. It is particularly beautiful in the front area, but a bit dark and smoky in the back.

A high quality restaurant, superbly furnished and very comfortable. The dishes all had 6 stars. I ordered a salad with shrimps, it was super tasty. The price/performance ratio was also right. There was something for everyone.

The Bona'me is very centrally located. It is surprisingly large and has a very nice ambience. Orders are placed electronically using a QR code. The food was served very quickly and we enjoyed it very much. The baklava ice cream was particularly a highlight. The staff was friendly.

Great store, great service!! My little daughter was really spoiled, everyone was totally child-friendly. Definitely to be recommended.

Very nice ambience, the interior is definitely a 10/10. The staff is also very friendly and you feel really comfortable.

Bulgur was burnt, mezze was very expensive and then you only get 3 small slices of pide. Waiters not very helpful, even when it comes to allergies. Simit, on the other hand, is highly recommended. The ambience is also very nice.

Delicious food, but unfortunately it was quite loud in the restaurant. Not a particularly large selection of drinks. Unfortunately, the digital menu only works partially, e.g. you have to constantly scroll back to where you were before. And the filters don't work.

Wow - such a great shop! Totally beautifully and luxuriously furnished, you immediately feel at home, it's simply cozy there. The food was amazing - totally cheap (less than 11 euros for a lunch that was totally filling!) and super tasty and fresh. The chicken was perhaps a little dry, but that's complaining on a high level. I'll definitely come back :)

Extraordinary and extravagant ambience, Excellent service great food! The portions will fill you up :) Order too much every time because everything tastes great :))

I had the pleasure of enjoying brunch at this restaurant and I have nothing but positive things to say! The food was delicious and the selection of dishes was simply fantastic. I would particularly like to highlight the incredibly nice service from Gizem. She made our visit very special - always friendly and attentive. Thank you for the great service! I can only recommend this restaurant and will definitely come back! Gelek Spas🙏

I recently visited the Factory for the first time and loved it from start to finish! The food was incredibly tasty and the service was great too! I was also impressed by the entire atmosphere! I'm already looking forward to the next visit!

Everything is perfect, everything tastes good, is delivered quickly... very far when it comes to gastronomy

Cozy n charming place, tasty n delicious food and lovely atmosphere..

We (2 people) wanted to eat there for the first time a few days ago during lunchtime, but we only got to the cat table right next to the entrance because all the other tables were supposedly reserved... OK, so we sat there in the cold with another restaurant-goer. The 3 of us didn't know how to order - it wasn't explained to us; There was also no QR code at the “cat table”. So I went to the toilet first because I wanted to wash my hands. I was also curious about the inside of the restaurant. The toilets were sobering... dirty. The restaurant is at most 40% full. Hmmm… fully reserved? I only saw empty seats, especially in the back…. but I really liked the interior. Back at the entrance, after my husband quickly disappeared into the toilet, I met the one employee (she also placed all 3 of us there at the front and said that there would be no more tables... because everything was completely reserved... ) asked if that was really the case, because I only saw free tables in the back area... “Yes... everything is reserved. But we also have high tables. We could sit down there” and showed me where. I “Yes, gladly! Definitely better than up here in the cold!”. She showed me a high table right by the window like from a coffee shop... "No, that wouldn't be for me to be honest" and then showed me 3 high tables next to the bar. I stayed there and waited for my husband. Then I watched 2 young men come in and because there wasn't too much going on, I could hear them asking "We haven't made a reservation, do you still have a table for us...?" And the young employee showed the two of them a table for 4. Um…. huh? So I went to her and asked her about it. Then she tells me “Yes, there will be three of them and there are only two of them”. Huh? Then my husband came and I just told him, “You don’t feel like trying out the store anymore. Two men just came, no reservations, supposedly a third was coming and they are now sitting back there... and I was only able to get this rickety high table for us. Let’s go..” We left. Maybe it would have been nice... unusual. In all that time, no one came except the two men and 3 other people who had reserved... 🤷🏼‍♀️

Nice restaurant with delicious food 😋

Generous and beautifully made, perhaps a bit sterile. Super nice service and very tasty food. Cappuccino works like that, but that's not the core competence; Here it is better to take mocha or Çay.

Wooooooow the place is very artistic and amaaaazing food with amazing atmosphere couldn’t forget the vibe

The food was tasty, but unfortunately the portions were too small. I would definitely have expected more for the price, as the price-performance ratio wasn't convincing - it seemed rather overpriced. The service was also disappointing. Most of the employees seemed disinterested, as if they weren't really involved. A positive exception was the lady at reception on Friday, who was friendly and very personable The furnishings and ambience are very attractive and stylish. Nevertheless, I would not visit the restaurant again because the negative points outweigh the negative points. Another point of criticism was the allocation of seats. Although many tables were obviously free, the system was unnecessarily complicated and caused confusion as you were seated at tables that weren't ideal.

For us the best restaurant in all of Cologne, sorry I initially wrote Düsseldorf.

All in all a nice shop! Food (Beyti) very tasty, although greasy. The overall picture was good, the staff was also nice.

Today we went to bona'me as a family. It is a very large and spacious place. The decor, with its oriental influences, is well thought out and looks really beautiful. I definitely recommend you make a reservation on weekends, it gets busy all of a sudden. You are given a card at the entrance and taken to your table. By scanning the QR code on the card, you can access the menu and order whatever you want. The era of ordering from the waiter via the menu is closed here. The system works very well since there is wifi. Anyone who scans the card can order from their phone. If you want to eat at the same time, my advice is to order at the same time, otherwise the system does not wait for orders, whoever orders what comes. We paid about 120€ for 4 people, the taste was good, it was a very clean place with an open kitchen. Payment by card is possible. I tried to add the menu and pictures.

Super delicious food in a beautiful atmosphere.

So far the best restaurant we have visited from the bona me chain, the food was delicious and the service was nice.

I went to Bona Me Factory and I loved it! The ambience is modern and inviting, and the service was extremely friendly and attentive. I was particularly impressed by the Mücver waffle – a great combination of taste and creativity! Perfectly prepared and truly special. The highlight, however, was the dessert: simply heavenly! You can tell that there is a lot of attention to detail here, both in the preparation of the food and in the service. I will definitely come back and recommend Bona Me Factory to anyone who appreciates good food and delicious desserts.

Very nice staff, pleasant restaurant 🥰🥰

Kudos to the boss Devran! He gave us a warm welcome and we received great service from both him and the waiters. The food and the ambience can only be recommended! Thanks to Devran & team! :)

Very nice location, delicious food, friendly and fast service. We liked it a lot🤩

Has slowed down a lot. We were seated right next to the door, which kept opening and so the cold always came in. We were then asked to sit even closer and thus sit even closer to the door. We then rejected this because apparently nothing else was available for two people. Apparently some things (unreserved) were free! We left again with an empty stomach and won't be coming back.

I really don't understand how this store got so many good reviews. We've been there and I can say with certainty that it's not value for money at all. The food was extremely fatty and carelessly prepared. The staff - if you can even call them that - are completely inattentive. They don't even look at you and completely ignore you. The ordering system, where you have to do everything digitally, is a disaster: it constantly hangs, and even if you press the service button, someone comes by after 20 minutes - if at all. I can only advise against this store! The music is unbearable: constantly loud techno that gives you a headache. Way too loud and annoying. The only positive thing is the facility, but that's about it. This place had better stop serving food.

Rude host didn’t give us a decent table and the tables he showed were either too high or broken and tilted or shaking …. For such a high nose I expect at least the tables to be standing straight without shaking so we didn‘t wanna spend our hard earned money.

Wonderful Place. Wonderful Atmosphere. Quality Food.

Great restaurant with nice decor. The food is mostly good and service is quick. Ordering is done via mobile phone and is relatively uncomplicated. I recommend the beyti, babuko with mushrooms, the appetizer platter, the salads and the waffles.

Delicious food, good value for money, I think the usability of the app could be improved a bit.

Complete disaster, we were only allowed to cut our cake after we gave all 5 reviews 5 stars...

Very good food with a nice atmosphere.

For me, the bona'me Factory GQ is definitely the better option to the classic Bona'me. Despite a group of 16 people, the service was very competent and courteous. The food was consistently tasty and the portions are reasonable. The in-house smoothies, which taste fresh and incredibly delicious, are highly recommended. Depending on where you sit, it can be a bit loud, but not annoying.

Oriental cuisine interpreted in a modern way. Highly recommended!

The selection is manageable but there is still something for everyone. We ate the beyti with Black Angus, which was really tasty. Edit: Breakfast is also highly recommended. The ambience is unique - super nice design. The service is also very nice and attentive. Really recommended. Much better than in Dortmund.

Really nice Turkish restaurant, very big yet somewhat cosy. Good service and nice food. Good price-quality relation.

Very Instagrammable but just not tasty. I even make hummus much better at home with little effort...

There are many restaurants or buffets around cologne where you can experience turkish, kurdish or arabic flavors. Bona me has a very special place among them for me. and here you can really find a synthesis of traditional flavors with a good presentation. I think what they have accomplished in interior decoration is admirable. I have been to their other branches many times but I was too late to take photos of the food because I cleaned everything up every time. This is a place you should definitely visit if you are in cologne. I guarantee that you will be happy.

We had the Meze 3 as a starter. Unfortunately the bread wasn't fresh and seemed to have been warmed up several times, which was disappointing. The pide, on the other hand, was really tasty, as were the drinks. Overall a mixed experience.

In itself a very nice restaurant. It's just a shame that with the starter you get three large bowls of dips, but there's only a small piece of bread. That's a bit small. The main course was also quite good, but I would have expected a little more for the rather high prices. The dessert was a 10/10, very tasty. Simple ordering system with a QR code via mobile phone. Fast and nice service.

You come in and feel comfortable. Very tastefully and comfortably furnished. You can spend time here and enjoy all the delicacies.

Very nice place, friendly waitress and spectacular Babuko

Just wow! The decor, the food and, above all, the friendly restaurant manager here gave us a wonderful evening. We'll definitely be back!

Beautiful venue located in the central area near the cathedral in Cologne. Very good and tasty oriental food, quick and friendly service. Very good prices considering the area. Advised

In my opinion everything was very tasty and filling. The quality is good.

The köftes have nothing to do with köftes. An insult to all izmir köfte fans.

Everything very tasty! Top service!

Very nice atmosphere. Delicious food and great service!!

We recently visited the Bona 'me Factory and loved it! The food was very tasty - you can immediately tell that quality is important here. We also really liked the atmosphere: it was cozy, stylish and we felt at home straight away. We will definitely be back and can only recommend the Bona'me Factory!

Truffle pita is our favourite. The employees are friendly and caring.

Very modern way of ordering via your own cell phone, and food or drinks are brought out shortly afterwards. As a result, you don't get any recommendations or advice from a service person (hence 4 stars). Food very tasty, enough to fill you up. Cocktails were also very good, although I found them to be quite expensive. I would love to come back because of the delicious food.

Very nice interior, we liked the food and it wasn't too expensive either

Always stylishly delicious, always new, always nice people and staff

Just wow. Ambiance is indescribably beautiful. Went there for breakfast today. What can I say? The most delicious breakfast of my life. Staff very friendly. Definitely not my last visit…

Great service and absolutely fantastic food. We'd love to come back!

Great location, great food, very friendly staff, I would go there again at any time.

We were seated at a sticky table that still had grains all over it. We were not asked if we knew how the ordering process worked. In contrast to the “normal” bona'me, the food was more like that and the selection was also rather small. The “homemade” iced tea was just this cheap crumbled tea with a mint stalk stuck in it. You can only reserve if there are at least 6 people. To pay you had to walk through the entire restaurant and then hand over a chip card. Unfortunately no one told us this either. Luckily the table next to us explained this to us. Only good point is that the restaurant looks really nice.

Super nice service and pleasant atmosphere. We were even allowed to choose a table, but towards the evening you might want to make a reservation :) The food was a 10/10 🙏😊
