Divan Ocakbaşı in Freiburg im Breisgau

Everything is delicious, I especially liked the dessert but I forgot the name

In any case, this is not Turkish food (meat tastes bad and vegetables were very oily) and very expensive for 3 people 75 euros (one portion and one drink). You can only pay such a large sum in cash (they also built a third-party bank machine in the restaurant just in case), I find that very interesting and strange.

I've been there for lunch several times. Every time super tasty and fair prices. Any time

Unfortunately, these days there are meals prepared by chefs who know little about it. We were forgotten and after about an hour of waiting we were served a burnt Adana Kebap, which unfortunately had no taste as the typical spices were missing. When we reported it to the waiter from India, the head waiter from Kosovo, and later to the owner from Tacikistan, everyone recommended that we should order lamb skewers next time, if there will be a next time at all.

We wanted to eat in a nice restaurant in Freiburg, where I was visiting for the first time. I ate a burnt and dried Adana shish kebab and my wife ate Iskender kebab in a watery casserole. It was very bad. We informed the staff that we were not satisfied. they weren't interested at all. I definitely don't recommend it.

Salad not fresh. It was clearly finished goods. Bread not fresh either. The non-carbonated spritzer tasted stale. Won't come anymore

My favorite place when it comes to lamb.

So folks, another restaurant that you absolutely have to avoid. The food sucks. You can spend your money somewhere else but not here. I haven't seen anything like this in a long time. The meat was spoiled and packed with spices so you wouldn't notice it. The salad was just as crappy, just something on it and that was it. You'd better go to another restaurant but please not here. People here write that the food was very tasty, so I wouldn't even let my dog ​​eat it. What I also noticed was that the plates at the next table weren't empty either.

Very tasty food. Great lunch offer until 4 p.m.!

Super cozy atmosphere! Really good food! If you like pide you should definitely try No. 201

My mother needed help and we were allowed in without consuming anything. Very friendly staff didn't even want to accept money for it. Next time I'll eat there with friends. Thank you for your kindness👍

We spontaneously went here for dinner on a Wednesday evening. Surprisingly full. The food was OK, but the price-performance ratio was really borderline. Absolutely out of date: cash payment only.

We were at the restaurant earlier this month to celebrate a birthday. For some reason, even though the people at neighboring tables were symbolically offered something to celebrate, all we got was rudeness. At the end the waiter spoke with what seemed to be his typical humor: "Come back in a year, we'll do it differently." Although the food was edible this time, we definitely won't be coming back.

Once is enough. Food disgusting, atmosphere with ATMs seems strange!

I ate Iskender but it tasted really good. Hope to see you again.

We had reserved a table (company party) for 14 people. When we arrived, we were told rather rudely that this wasn't the case because apparently new employees hadn't written this down. After a short discussion we were seated in a corner of the sofa, we were given tickets, but we were only able to order drinks after we were spoken to. After an hour we were allowed to move to a larger table. Despite the botched reservation, service seemed unfriendly and ignorant. Food was satisfactory. There was no apology from the staff or the boss. Not recommended for company parties.

Very nicely decorated, but that was also the best thing about this restaurant. The food tasted really bland. With the best will in the world, I can't understand how some reviews said it was oversalted. Otherwise, all the spices were adapted to the very mild German tastes, as even with a lot of salt and pepper the food only tasted okay, not really justified for the price. Unfortunately, only cash payment is possible here. This is never mentioned before ordering, but only when paying, with a derogatory comment that this information can be found outside at the entrance. A rogue who thinks evil ;) When asked why this isn't on the website, the answer was "the boss doesn't want this, otherwise people won't come." The condition probably makes this voluntary instead of hiring trained employees. For us it was the first and last time we visited this restaurant.

Everything was great! Food was very tasty 😋! Service was super good!

Ordered mixed grill plate (costs €30), it was simply overpriced, little meat, kebab meat (which doesn't actually belong in a grill plate) was cold and very thickly cut. Not recommended.

Nous avons été très déçus par notre expérience dans ce restaurant. Dès le départ, l’accueil n’a pas été chaleureux, ce qui a donné le ton de la soirée. Nous avons dû attendre longtemps pour être servis : mon compagnon avait presque terminé son plat quand le mien est finalement arrivé, et pourtant il n’y avait pas foule (il était 18h). Les deux serveurs présents, dont une femme très lente, semblaient peu efficaces. Ils faisaient tout ensemble, même pour prendre une commande, ce qui ralentissait encore plus le service. On ne nous a pas proposé de dessert, et personne n’est revenu vers nous à ce sujet. En fin de repas, au moment de payer, nous avons découvert qu’il n’était pas possible de régler par carte bancaire – ce qui est difficilement compréhensible en 2025. Aucun panneau ne l’indiquait, et personne ne nous en a informés à l’avance. De plus, nous n’avons reçu ni facture ni ticket, tout était fait à la main de manière peu professionnelle. Mon plat était froid, et dans l’ensemble, seul le lieu en lui-même était agréable. Mais l’accueil et le service laissent vraiment à désirer. Enfin, lorsque j’ai demandé à emporter mes restes, le serveur m’a jugée d’un regard désagréable, et, au lieu de les emballer comme demandé, il les a jetés. Le manque de TPE et l’absence de facture sont vraiment étranges et peu sérieux. Cette expérience a été très décevante.

In diesem Restaurant gibt es den schlechtesten Service, den ich in den letzten 10 Jahren meines Lebens erlebt habe. Dieses Restaurant ist gefährlich zu besuchen, da Ihnen, wie in meinem Fall, das Telephone gestohlen werden könnte, and das Personal des Restaurants wird absolut nichts tun, um Ihnen zu helfen. Gestern wurde der Ehemann meiner Tante, ein italienischer Staatsbürger, ausgeraubt, und das Restaurant hat nicht die Polizei gerufen. Außerdem habe ich allen Grund zu glauben, dass dieses Restaurant nicht vollständig Steuern zahlt, da es keine Kartenzahlung anbietet. Ich empfehle dieses Restaurant nicht für einen Besuch. I encountered the worst service I have seen in the last 10 years at this restaurant. This place is a dangerous place where your phone can be stolen like it happened to my family and the restaurant staff do nothing to help you. Yesterday my aunt's husband, an Italian citizen, was robbed and the restaurant did not call the police. Also, I have reason to believe that this restaurant does not pay taxes in full because card payments are not accepted here. I do not recommend you to visit this place.

It was very salty and not tasty. I took Ali kindly, he was never harsh.

Very salty. Stinky and no fresh meat. No taste. No turkish concept. No one is Turkish!¿ We came from Brussels. I hoped to eat good in Germany. Got worse food ever! Don't bother tourist messages. Don't go, don't eat, don't feed. It has nothing to do with our Turkish restaurants. It was disgusting as poison. Forget the tourist comments..

The food wasn’t fresh and tasty. The only good thing was the salad but it’s your decision if it’s worth to go there only for a salad? 😅 The service wasn’t good. They accept only cash, and this is not acceptable! However I’ve heard it’s ok in Germany in general, so no comment on that but be ready for it. The other good thing was watching the football match. That’s all. Wouldn’t recommend it.

Not even close to Turkish food. Even ambience.

I was totally disappointed by the food quality. We were four persons, so I tried 4 different dishes, and all were some burnt Kebap dishes! Not worth the cost at all! It was my first and last time.

Really disappointed. We dined at Divan expecting to enjoy ourselves. Unfortunately several extremely disappointing points. - The food is very average, with very expensive prices for what it is. - The menu is not easy to understand - For payment, only take cash! We were asked to withdraw from an ATM present on site in the restaurant. Result: €5.99 ATM withdrawal fees!

I didn't like the taste and smell of the kebab at all for the very expensive price, I asked for a glass of water with a slice of lemon, which was brought back to me 15 minutes later afterwards and it was tap water and I'm not talking about the horrible way the lemon was cut and put in the disgusting glass for which I was charged four euros! You can still imagine the level of mockery for customers, the staff is not at all patient while not everyone speaks the language, it's not professional. They want customers to order very quickly and the chef at the end dares to come and ask you if it went well with a well-calculated, well-prepared smile. To escape, I will never go back there again.

Lahmacun, a frozen product, consisted only of dough and tomato sauce. Lamb cutlets were tough, raw and stinky. Iskender kebab, a tough frozen product, tasted like the sole of a shoe. Paid 80 euros for all of this with 2 iced teas and 1 specialty. Afterwards, stomach cramps and diarrhea even though we only had one tried a bit

We always come back to this restaurant because it has a nice ambience and the food was good. But the quality of the food (grill plate) has unfortunately noticeably decreased. The meat wasn't seasoned at all and the typical grilled taste was no longer what it was used to. The gyro also looked rather gray and tasted just as it looked. What also really bothered us: we had also ordered a large salad in advance and it came all at once with the warm food, so that everything became cold. Luckily we didn't have an ice cream dessert, it would have gotten warm and melted... We won't be going back anytime soon if the restaurant goes down like this.

Always fine food in a beautiful atmosphere in the middle of Freiburg. Price performance is ok. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone. 😋

Today we went to this restaurant, we ordered a grill plate for two, the portion was big, my daughter ordered pizza, everything was very tasty and the service was good, the prices were affordable. The only negative thing was that we sat at a table near the entrance and it was cold because of the draft. We'll still be back

An authentic Turkish-Anatolian restaurant. It is not an ordinary kebab shop, but a real restaurant with specialties from oriental cuisine. The food is excellent, from the starter to the main course (meat dishes) to the desserts, all the dishes were so good that I would order them again. The staff is very friendly and works hard, even when the store is full. You should definitely make a reservation, especially on weekends and in the evenings. The seating is a bit tight, however, as the tables are close to each other. The ambience is nice, but it doesn't quite suit my personal taste. In 2024, however, I expect card payments to be a given. Although the restaurant has its own ATM, it takes up seats and creates additional fees, especially for tourists like me. Conclusion: If I'm in Freiburg and want authentic Turkish food, I'll definitely stop by here again.

Frankly these are too expensive and really not good I do not recommend and price level these overdo the doner plate only meat and fried no really mediocre credutee for an ocak basi

Nettes Ambiente und aufmerksame freundliche Bedienung. Aber die Portionen sind eindeutig zu klein bei diesen Preisen. Zudem dürften die Speisen auch mutiger gewürzt werden. Und ein wenig Kreativität beim Anrichten hilft auch. Weniger Show, dafür Inhalt hätte das Restaurant durchaus verdient. Nur Bargeld zu nehmen ist nicht mehr zeitgemäß und zeigt, dass man auf internationales Publikum wohl gern verzichtet.

Food is tasty, but expensive. The service team is nice, but you can change a lot of physical care.

Food and dessert was ok. You can only pay in cash!! I don't think that's good

Authentic food. Everything was right with the food. Thanks

A restaurant that requires the customer to pay in cash and withdraw money from their ATM which costs us €7!! Or 14% of the amount withdrawn. It’s abused!! To flee...

First time here but definitely not the last time. The food was very tasty and the price was right.

Simply disappointed with the quality and price-performance ratio. The service was attentive but not very friendly. In addition, it was not possible to pay with a card; instead you were directed to an ATM in the restaurant, which seemed extremely questionable and embarrassing. Unfortunately not recommended

I was very happy to find a Turkish restaurant, but the reason I deducted one point is unfortunately the prices are a bit high. I didn't find the food very tasty either. Unfortunately, the doner kebab tasted too much of pepper, the beans were very pasty and chaotic, there was everything in it, I couldn't figure out what it had to do with potatoes, sausage, pasta and beans. Unfortunately, I didn't like it very much, but the tea service was nice, thank you.

A very old ambiance but the food was tasty and the staff very kind.

The quality and taste of the dishes is good and the prices are reasonable and proportionate. The staff and the service in general are reliable and friendly. Minus for not being able to pay by card, even though it is registered with card payment on Google. There is an ATM in the middle of the restaurant (!!!) directly at the bar with guests who can also write down their PIN??? As a business guest, I had to go out of my comfort zone into the cold and look for an ATM that didn't charge an extra fee - embarrassing for my own guests. Well, the divan is fine overall, but only for cash payers.

Extremely disappointed by the lack of spices, even salt seems to be included

Service ok. Kitchen ok. I didn't like being forced to withdraw from the ATM in the restaurant. I had 7 euros in withdrawal fees, which is excessive. The customer must have a choice. For this I give the rating 1/5.

Discovered while walking past! My 12 year old daughter stopped in curiosity and after studying the menu she went in to reserve a table for 4 people that evening. “You’re welcome, Madame!” When we arrived at 8 p.m. the restaurant was full -> but the table she wanted was just being prepared for her. “Welcome, your table will be ready in 1 minute!” 🤩 Incredibly friendly staff, attentive and approachable! The food was great!! Just a great experience!!

Unfortunately, the restaurant leaves a very dubious impression. The service was inattentive and not very friendly. In addition, it was not possible to pay by card - instead you were directed to an ATM in the restaurant, which seems extremely questionable. Overall, a disappointing experience that definitely has room for improvement.

Food: Its Ok. Taste is fine. Price: It was a bit expensive for what you get. They only accept cash. No card is accepted. Important note to get this problem solved guys have an ATM inside restaurant, that's crazy. But surprisingly you get charged extra transaction amount for withdrawal. Beawar of that. Service: It's fine. Overall I found the restaurant very avarage. There are better restaurants on the same location Msg to Team Divan: You have headroom to improve your food and service. All the best.

مطعم مأكولات شرقية طلبنا مشويات ريش طازج وطريه وسلطه خضراء مع صوص ابيض مع خبز بالفليفلة الحمراء والخدمة جيدة والأسعار مناسبة

Wonderful oriental regional food, friendly attentive service. Thanks

We were very satisfied. The service was great and the food was very tasty and justified for the price. We paid €51 for 3 drinks and 2 main courses. If we're in the area, it's definitely worth a visit again :-) The only point of criticism is the lack of EC card payment.

pretty nice experience eating here, the food was very tasty and filling, and the staff satisfying as well :)

The food is really Good. The "Cash Only" policy is too bad.

Great food, big portions but surprise surprise, when you ask for the check they only accept cash payment! Yes, this is 2024! And they do have a ATM in the restaurant where they charge 6€ to withdraw money! We did love the food, but this is the worth restaurant to go! Don’t get trapped!

Very good atmosphere and service, always attentive, fast and efficient. However, the food seemed expensive for what it really was.

Attention rip-off, only cash payment possible! Without notice or warning from the staff. If you don't have any cash with you, you have to withdraw from an ATM in the restaurant. 6 euros fee for 50 euros is a lousy trap!!! Food ok but the price is not justified for the quality.

We ate inside the restaurant. There is an option to dine both indoors and outdoors. It should be mentioned in advance that card payments are not possible, but there is an ATM in the restaurant. The drinks were served very quickly after ordering, as was the food. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating, both when greeting us and when saying goodbye. We had the lunch menu, which was very tasty. The regular prices are rather high, but the lunch menu is reasonably priced. There is also WiFi and it is possible to reserve two large seating areas so that you can eat comfortably in larger groups.

The food is not good at all. Service is unfriendly

Everything was great, the service was very friendly, the food was freshly prepared, but everything was quick, the hummus tasted extremely good! we'll be back, keep it up

Just perfect!!!! Super delicious, fast and friendly service. Can only recommend

Very nice atmosphere that takes you to another place. The food was super good and the service impeccable.

Exaggerated price for what we ate in 2024 they don't accept credit and debit cards inadequate service I can't recommend it

Very good cuisine. Unfortunately bad experience. The waiting time was extremely long. And the service was pretty sloppy. More than 50 minutes of waiting for 5 place settings including a menu for a child. It’s a guess but I got the impression they were doing “good service” to the head. Despite that, we ate well.

This is not a Turkish restaurant, I actually ate Iskender. As soon as I arrived, it looked so dirty, I was hungry, ate some, got up and ran away.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated! The cuisine is very good with very fresh and homemade food, we were delighted! the server is very helpful! We are in Freiburg im Breisgau on vacation and I highly recommend this quality restaurant!

By chance and also driven by hunger, my wife and I ended up here while passing through. The location on the street and the opportunity to sit outside were invitation enough for us. A look at the lunch menu confirmed the first impression. The service was nice, unobtrusive and very fast, so that the dishes we ordered were on our table very quickly. Everything was very tasty, well sized and absolutely right in terms of price. We will definitely stop here more often when passing through in the future 😊

The food was good They dont accept cards Cash only

Really beautiful Turkish Restaurant. Delicious Food. Really refreshing Turkish chai! Very clean, nice people. Delicious food!

Very expensive, you don't take the credit card, you can draw money from their ATM with incredible fees, never seen before. Be wary of the total price, do your calculations yourself

Bon plat, mais boisson trop cher. Une carafe d’eau d’1 litre est à 4,50 € ce qui est beaucoup trop cher. Mais bon, profitons, dans 20-30 ans y’en aura plus.

Good and abundant food. The liter of tap water at 7.50. The rest good. Pepperoni for them is the hot chili pepper, not the sausage

Food and service were good. We need to tell them so they can issue an invoice. It is necessary to be transparent that the money given goes to the employer and is taxed.

Boy, why do you have to pay €16 for a pizza with almost nothing on it? What's wrong with you? Absolutely unjustified and excessive!!

Delicious food. Lots of choice on the menu. Service friendly and attentive.

Attentive, friendly service, quick service, large selection and good description of the dishes and well-prepared food. We have been here several times and always enjoy coming back.

This restaurant was very popular and delicious, Great food and the service was top class. Would definitely recommend

Very nice ambience and the service is also impeccable. We felt very comfortable and even our request to get another seat because the air conditioning was blowing directly towards us was easily taken into account. The food was of course a 10/10 and we were very satisfied.

The grill plates in particular are a great show and really tasty at a fair price! In addition, the owner exudes a great family atmosphere and takes great care of his guests!!

It’s just unacceptable !!! The food is good but you can’t pay with your card ! the only reason given to us by the waiter is that the boss only wants cash and when i told him that it’s for illegal reasons he just nodded like this «  🤷🏽‍♂️ ». i don’t recommend anyone to give their money to this business !!!

Tastes good, but the allergens on the menu don't match the actual allergens in the dish. Staff not knowledgeable, no compensation despite serving a dish with allergens previously assured not to be included.

The food was very tasty and the selection of dishes is large. However, I don't think it's a good thing that you can only pay with cash. Nowadays, card payment is one of the options for me. We only got this information because we asked. Unfortunately it's nowhere.

Very nice atmosphere, good food and great prices for meals (there's a choice) of the day! (9€90) I highly recommend

Nobody should go here Nein Nein Nein

Went there just before 4pm to eat the lunch menu. The waiter makes you wait 15 minutes and then wants to collect the full price because the lunch special is only valid until 4 p.m. Absolutely unacceptable service.

Great in terms of taste and atmosphere, and upscale in price It's just a shame that the apple tea is expensive, but instant... But the arrangement of the Künefe with a dream fountain is like it's your birthday! And the lamb skewer, the grilled vegetables on the appetizer platter and the Saç are also very tasty, as is the Hindi Tava Kavurma and the salad (with cheese on it, very sweet)

Prices are expensive compared to other restaurants offering the same menu. When I was there, one of the 🤵‍♂️waiters took a tip without asking.🤦‍♂️

The food was really bad, I don't recommend it.

You can only pay cash and they tell you that after you order. Portions are very greedy and tiny. Very expensive. No special taste

High prices - small portions. Some of the food was served cold. Absolutely no go

Great hosts at the European Championship game. Great food and service. Thank you!

Top service and nice staff. Ordered a grill plate. Came on time and tasted great. I can only recommend it. See you soon

A failed restaurant, after you order, they tell you that they only accept cash, and the employees’ service is very bad. I do not recommend it to any Gulf country

Nice, smiling people greet you at the door. Authentic ambience. Great flavors. Clean and sparkling environment

Very tasty, I recommend baking lava

Good option for eastern food, only cash accepted and never tell you that before ordering, I had to go to an ATM and coming back to pay!

The restaurant is busy all time, but the food portion does not match the price, it is really a bit expensive, and the taste is not as good as the BBQ bought in the supermarket.

Great afternoon with the kids, thank you.

This was my second time here and I can only recommend it. The food is super perfect. My favorites are: Sac Hindi, all pides, the starter for 2 people and baklava. Unfortunately you can only pay in cash.

Delicious food for fair prices. People can serve lunch each day between 11 and 16 o'clock menus for 9,90 EUR and the portions are enough for any adult.
