Efes Imbiss in Göttingen

I really like going to Efes. But tonight I was really disappointed. I had a chicken doner kebab and got it at 10 p.m. I wonder if it was the time. In any case, my doner kebab was filled to the brim with salad and sauce, and only a very small amount of meat at the end. So, too much salad and sauce, and too little meat. Accordingly, it didn't fill me up. That's really a disgrace. When I get my doner kebab from you earlier, strangely enough, this doesn't happen. There was still plenty of chicken left. I don't understand it, unfortunately. It's a shame. On top of that, the doner kebab is very carelessly prepared. And it tasted that way, too. I don't know why, but every time I get a doner kebab from you, there's too little meat and so much salad. So you only taste the salad. A doner kebab should have more meat than salad, not the other way around. It doesn't fill you up. And the worst thing is when I only taste the salad the whole time and only taste the meat at the very end.😅

The kebab tastes fresh, the ingredients are of the highest quality, and the staff is very friendly. I can absolutely recommend it!

Ate a doner kebab here with two adults for €14. Huge portion - great taste. The only thing that could be improved is the ambiance - a small TV that plays poor quality music far too loudly.

Baba Döner: If you fancy crocodile meat, stop by once. The bread was very cold and dry, and the steak tasted like rubber. Highly recommended.

Best Döner I ever have in Germany!!! (My first food comment in 6 months Germany stay) Recommending my parents so come back to leave the message Kebab (bread) is crunchy outside and soft inside The salty level of the chicken meat is perfect - not too strong and enough flavor Extremely fresh, crunchy veggies, sided with a little bit of arugula, which lightening the whole döner The sauces are perfect, too Lots of Knoblauch (garlic) in the Greek cucumber yogurt That was a sad day but the extremely döner comfort my heart<3 :) Efes Döner is the must-eat in Göttingen !!! "Döner makes you pretty":)

Rude treatment. Just go to the other shops where you’ll get the same food. Same price. Better service

In my experience, the two oldest employees at this snack bar are totally unfriendly. I'm very happy when the guys make my kebab...

Very friendly service. Delicious kebab.

I've gotten kebabs there a few times, and they've always been really delicious. Highly recommended :)

We ate here for the first time today, and it was the best kebab (plate) I've had in a long time. Keep it up, and we'll definitely be back. The lighting in the seating area is very bright. They could cut down a bit. ;-))

The shop appears to have been designed innovatively, with one small catch – the charming, old-fashioned exterior. I had a chicken durum, where the meat was generally overseasoned (you can tell just by looking at the skewer). The sauces and vegetables were good. The ayran was unfortunately a bit too sour (but I don't think the owner can do anything about that – after all, it's delivered or bought in). The interior of the restaurant has a very unusual feel, with red and yellow chairs and creative wall designs. Since I'm not from Göttingen, I unfortunately don't have a local reference point. Nevertheless, it seems to me that if you need something done quickly, Efes Grill will get the job done. Similar to other doner kebabs, it didn't blow me away. As I said, a quick and uncomplicated durum.

I got a veal doner kebab. Half of it was onion and tasted absolutely nothing.

Very tasty kebab, both in dough and in a bun. The service was friendly, and we enjoyed the food. I recommend it if you're nearby. What's more, the restaurant is located in a beautiful historic building.

The waiter kept interrupting me, so I had no time to order in peace. "What's wrong with you?" He was very rude. The restrooms were very unpleasant.

Every time I am in Göttingen, this is really the best kebab I know, the people are really nice and if you politely ask if they put more meat on it you get a huge portion, for me this will be my regular shop in the future

We wanted to get fries. We paid 16 euros for three fries, but they weren't even large for a normal-sized portion. What kind of price is that? So, you'd be better off getting fries elsewhere. I can't say anything about the rest of the menu.

It is and remains the best kebab I've ever tasted. Everything else is also highly recommended.

I ate a dürüm there last night, immediately got stomach pain and diarrhea, and had to throw it all up again! The food couldn't have been fresh! Definitely not eating there.

The food was good and tasted great. But I've ordered here twice so far, and each time the staff was unfriendly.

By far the best kebab I've ever had, and I've been coming to Efes Döner for years. This time I had a Martin special, and it was amazing 😮‍💨

Veal doner kebab to go. Good portion size, fresh ingredients, and delicious bread. The (curry?!) sauce is top-notch!

Absolutely recommended for a 1am snack🙏

Very good döner. Several meat options - including veal! Nice sauce. All the toppings available. Would go again.

I ate here for the first time, but unfortunately I can't recommend it. The herb sauce had too much mint (but that's a matter of taste), and the spicy sauce wasn't particularly hot either. I ordered a chicken doner kebab and unfortunately, I only got the small bits of meat from the drip tray. As a result, I had much less meat than my companion in the doner kebab, although I would expect the amount to be the same every time – a shame! I definitely would have waited until something was ready fresh off the skewer. Also, the little meat there was far too little seasoning; you could barely taste it. The bread was crispy and didn't soak through, which was good. The salad was fresh and crispy, I can't complain either. If you need to splurge on a doner kebab one night, this is definitely a top place, but there are certainly better alternatives.

The best in Göttingen Chef Mohamed Kamal is wonderful and nice

One of the best Turkish meals I've tried 5/5

Food and service: The food wasn't as ordered. The customer in front of me only had steak meat cooked. When I requested it, the older man said in an unfriendly tone, "Just mix the steak meat," and I didn't get what I wanted. I also clearly stated that I wanted it on the menu, but the older salesperson was simply too lazy and acted as if he hadn't noticed. The older man was generally extremely unfriendly and annoyed. He slapped my food and change down on the counter, completely annoyed. The taste was below average. Hygiene: The tables were dirty and the restroom was a complete disaster. I'm glad I didn't have any health problems after visiting this place.

I occasionally get a kebab or a kebab box. It's usually always delicious. Today I bought a kebab box, and the meat tasted awful. It was incredibly hard, very dark, and incredibly dry. It was also cut very thickly. And the friendliness, which is usually standard, wasn't present today. What was/is going on with you? I would have liked to have sent this negative experience personally to an email address. Unfortunately, there isn't one.

10/10 you are the coolest ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Delicious Dürum €9 Children's portion A joke

Delicious kebab in a crispy pocket, the sauce is very good. Recommended.

They had total potential, but unfortunately the only vegan option is fries or kebab with vegan mayonnaise/pomegranate syrup or no sauce at all.

Really good döner! Greetings from Finland

What can I say here? It's the only way to quickly grab something in the evening - otherwise I wouldn't buy anything there. But giving less change, even though you even gave one euro more out of kindness, doesn't really have to be the case. (I noticed later with a colleague.) The employees there don't look like they want to work either... and you can tell that in the end product. Btw it's also way too expensive for what you get

The young guy who works there is extremely rude, the food is average at best.

It's a good kebab, when I'm in Göttingen I get one there. I personally don't like the others, especially the one in the train station. Unfortunately it is too small for the price of 7 euros. Could put more meat in.

Very unfriendly staff, do not respond to customer requests (e.g. lots of hot sauce, etc.), have been disappointed on the last 3 visits and will eat elsewhere from now on

The food is quite good, and the location is right in the city. The staff are very unfriendly; if you don't like your job, you should do something else. A certain level of general friendliness is also part of the restaurant business. The atmosphere is okay. The staff sharpens knives and cuts the meat without washing them – kebabs with metal splinters aren't that tasty. The dining area and restroom are very dirty.

Really good kebab with nice sauces and well-dressed salad

Great kebab. Best with everything🤤🤤🤤

Service and location very good, you feel very comfortable. However, the kebab has far too little content for 7€+ so that you won't be full enough. In terms of taste, however, you can recommend the kebab, but if you're looking for something to fill you up, you should buy two...

The portions are very small, the bun is almost empty, there is very little meat, most of it is topped with vegetables. For the same amount, neighboring establishments offer much more and the service of the staff.

The food was very tasty, but I think smoking in the restaurant is inappropriate because one of the employees did it, among other things.

One of top 3 doners i had in Germany, The sauce had some horseradish in it which was an amazing detail. Definetly recommended, their fries amazing as well but ketchup was a bit sour. Nevertheless an amazing spot

Doner kebab okay, but every single time for the last few months there has been too much sauce, so that the kebab splits at the bottom. Even if you order less sauce. Unfortunately disappointing

The best kebab in Göttingen. Fresh, crunchy vegetables. Meat-vegetable ratio is right. Employees were friendly every time.

Food was delicious and the store is good too, but unfortunately an employee with tattoos was very unfriendly. It would be nice if the employee didn't try to have “eye duels” and talk inappropriately to customers next time, that was a very unpleasant experience. It wasn't fun to eat there anymore. Still 3 stars because there are also very hospitable employees.

The food is good, but the guy really skimped on the meat. We were not alone in our opinion.

Luckily, Haus des Döners was closed earlier than it says on the internet. So that we ended up here. As Fabi Klos says, “Doner kebab saves lives at night” and he has that. He was delicious. I can only recommend it.

If you have a testosterone value of >100 out of 100 you will be served! Arrogant shop!

Very stable when there is little going on, not so good when there is a lot going on.

Never had kebab with rocket, it was mediocre. We'll be back. Thank you very much.

Food great, but like everywhere else prices are now very high. Very friendly staff, the shop was very clean

Just the thing if you're hungry later in the evening. The selection of vegetarian dishes is particularly great!

It's been many years since I've finished my studies that I've been visiting "Efes" again. Here you can still get something good to eat even after a long night. The furnishings have become a bit more modern, the signs have been replaced and the floor no longer sticks. A lot has improved. The Dürüm was okay with "everything". Unfortunately the salad was wet and the rest of the filling was also reduced. Conclusion: A Göttingen institution that you should definitely visit, but the price-performance taste experience suffered.

Very tasty, the salad was fresh, very satisfied

The food was tasty but not enough, most of the vegetable dishes (including sauces) were already sweetly seasoned to make it seem better It's just a small shop nearby Employees were ok

The best kebab in all of Göttingen and super friendly staff who are usually in a good mood and offer great service. Especially the colleague with the Cappy is incredibly cute (I think his name is Mustafa) <3

Good taste, but very economical on meat lately.

In my opinion the best kebab in Göttingen. The bread is crispy, toasted, the sauces have flavor and the meat is juicy and not too fatty. Content is also perfect, not too much not too little. The salad is crisp and tastes fresh. Tomato slices are not 0.2mm slices but cut nice and thick. I personally really celebrate the addition of rocula and pomegranate seeds. I've been here several times in the last 2 years and it's always tasted great. I can highly recommend!

The best döner/durum I’ve had so far across 3 german-speaking countries! The staff are nice most of the time… Because it is always full, I don’t expect to have a small talk of course!

Best kebab in Göttingen! Open 24 hours. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The prices are very affordable and the quality is very good!

The most magical journey through one of the circles of hell. When I came to order food in the evening, the waiter looked at me with a very aggressive face without understanding German. He didn't prepare me what I asked for, quoted a different quantity than what was stated on the plates and behaved very rudely. As for the sauces, there are no questions, but the vegetables taste fresh, they do not smell as if they were stored in the refrigerator. The meat didn't look or taste fresh. It's not worth talking about the piece of bread taken from an unknown shed

Visiting during the Corona pandemic. Hygiene hardly exists. Both chefs do not wear face masks and do not wash their hands after accepting cash. There is no hand disinfectant and the entrance area is too small to keep your distance. 2g control not available, on the contrary. When a customer asks whether once vaccinated is enough to eat inside, the waitress just looks at the floor and nods...unacceptable

The kebab was cold and almost without sauce

Arrogant. Special requests seem to be annoying. The gentleman who served me probably didn't like me and gossiped about me to his colleagues. There was no Seviette either. It was totally creepy. Not recommended.

I was charged for "extra cheese" twice on my order even though I didn't order it. I didn't get any extra cheese either. The music was definitely too loud and there were constant advertisements. The food was OK, not special.

Asked for a box with salat and fries, got only fries and asked extra for salat. Took 1 bite and threw it out, horrible, DONT RECCOMEND

Been here several times, the food is good. If the disposable cutlery were thrown out and the tables were cleaned every now and then, everything would be great!

Steak kebab. There's no getting around it and the meat was really good. I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely continue testing. But the music in the store and the volume of the people present were quite unpleasant. Also the ambience. Bazaar 3.0. Conclusion. Only eat to go when the weather is good, sitting is not really an option. It's a shame actually. It is and remains the address for a good kebab 🤷‍♂️

I've been eating here about once a year for 20 years. I always look forward to visiting because the quality of the dishes is very good and the staff is extremely friendly. The opening times and the number of customers speak for themselves.

Food very delicious but service too low . Unfriendly Not good

Best jumbo kebab in central Germany 🙂‍↔️

By far the best kebab in the area. Everything really fits there. From meat to bread to sauce. The tastiest kebab I've eaten so far. Always come back.

I would say the dine out is good rather than dine in at the place. Durum Donner is quite good.

After many hoped-for improvements and repeated attempts to eat there, there has still been no change, but rather a deterioration. We went to this shop very often back then because it was simply delicious and respectful and also because the employees back then (1-3 years before) were very friendly. But unfortunately the whole thing took a very negative turn. There is one employee there who is particularly unfriendly and you just get the feeling that he wants to make everything bad for you. We repeatedly asked that we please cut the meat later so that it would stay warm and the fries would be nice and crispy. End result? Zero. They always do the exact opposite and don't listen to the requests. But we still went there because we had such a good experience back then. They go out of their way to make the food perfect for their compatriots, as it should be for every customer, but with normal customers they don't care at all and for the compatriots they do everything, as I said, as soon as they are normal customers, it doesn't matter what is. The food is always cold, the portions are smaller and if you ask for a little more sauce, the employees want extra money for a dollop of sauce. Or if you don't want the sauce in the middle of the meal but in a paper bowl, you have to pay extra. For a paper bowl? And then you get insulted in an unfriendly way and you should ask why and what. Overall, today was the last visit. It was done exactly to make us very uncomfortable and the food was prepared so that it was cold and undercooked. Is this the quality that this store has become? The tables are always dirty and greasy and they are rarely cleaned. Nevertheless, we always went because of our experience because it was so good back then. But the thing is that one employee is incredibly unfriendly and always makes the whole situation uncomfortable. If the owner reads this review, please fire your employee, the slightly older and unfriendly man. It's uncomfortable when you have to talk to him. It's a shame what this store has become. We have already left several hundred euros with you and would have continued to visit you often. But no thanks, I strongly advise against this store. Unfortunately, 80% of employees are not really made for customer communication and should not work with customers. It's a shame, you're losing more and more customers 🙂

On Friday and Saturday there is a so-called steak kebab there, which made me feel like I was transported back to the 90s because I even ate two pieces a day. Really good! (otherwise not a fan of kebab bah!) The steak skewer is 100% real meat, almost unseasoned, juicy and not burdensome. MINUS Unfortunately, the floor and stairs are often slippery, used tablets pile up and I don't like the white LED spots on the upper floor, all of them in warm white would create a nicer atmosphere 😊 PLUS, the original Swiss cannabis iced tea in an orange can in the snack machine for €2.50 was the icing on the cake. P. S and the new bread pockets instead of flatbread corners are good.

Often full, if not there is the pre-sliced ​​leftover which the fat from the rotisserie drips onto in one go... This is then served in a soft bread that could also come from Burgerking. Unfunny people behind the counter aren't my thing, but I know a few people who swear by it

Cult kebab from Göttingen. Good kebab with a strong selection of sauces. Bread is obviously not homemade. Store could be cleaner

It was almost perfect (huge kebab, nice view over the pedestrian zone and just perfect💨)

Please work a little cleaner and definitely turn the music down! You hardly understand anything! And you could smell the smell of sweat from the service from the counter! 🤮

One of the best falafel wraps so far. Do try the one with halloumi!

The food was good. Environment was okay. But the staff wasn't cooperative at all.

We ate Dürüm with eggplant and fries here. The Dürüm was tasty, but relatively expensive (€8) and small. There are better options in Göttingen. Unfortunately the fries were not crispy but wobbly. A pity. I would come back if the portions were larger and the fries were crispy, otherwise I probably wouldn't!

Was very dissatisfied. We were at an event in Göttingen and wanted something to eat beforehand. Discovered the kebab shop, thought ok, go in, eat and then off to the event. We ordered two chicken nuggets plates. There was also ketchup and mayo... well, we thought ok, we could make up for it. Yes, of course, but a pack costs a lot. It's free everywhere, if it's not enough. The food tastes, well, subterranean. Staff overwhelmed, rude. ..never there again.

Efes is Top of the Gö-Döner. Top notch in taste and service for years. I always enjoy being there again. Or get something for home.

We like to eat kebab here when we're in the city center. But since this new bread has been available, it is simply even tastier and at the same time the kebab feels twice as big as before. The meat was also super marinated, nice and crispy and thinly sliced. You can't go wrong with a menu for 10 euros. Really great!

Very tasty and clean. Definitely recommended

Best kebab I've eaten in Göttingen and the surrounding area so far! 👍

The most disgusting kebab and fries and also the most useless, disrespectful service I have ever seen

I ordered one thing and they served another, not tasty.

Very tasty food, I recommend it

The person at the cash register was so rude. He also came and smoked next to us while we were having dinner upstairs.

The place is not a classic kebab snack bar, but rather a snack bar and a kind of restaurant in one.

So I don't know how this shop got 4 stars, the meat that was served to us wasn't made by the employee, the employee could hardly speak German and Turkish, he didn't understand it either, I wasn't asked what should or shouldn't be on it, I asked for tzatziki but was given garlic sauce when I asked why did he answer he didn’t have tzatziki well…

Unfortunately overcharged. Instead of 24.50 euros we paid 27.50 euros. We only noticed it when we got home.

Absolute go to for döners and shawarma. Kebabs and everything is delicious. Atmosphere, nothing to write home about. It's pretty basic and unassuming. Service can be hit or miss.

You can argue about where the best kebab is in Göttingen, but Efes is certainly in the top 3 kebabs. Delicious! In the picture there is a large kebab box for consumption in the restaurant. The toilets are very clean.

The attitude of the staff when talking to customers is not friendly. Even though I said please don't put onions in my kebab, and here is the result

The kebab is by far the best in the entire area, which is why we make a special trip to Göttingen. The ambience is absolutely okay, the only thing that's really annoying is the extremely loud music. If you have to repeat the order several times because the chef didn't understand it, he should think about it.
