Ela Restaurant in Kempen

We go there often. Always satisfied... again today.

Always very tasty and the staff is always super friendly and accommodating.

We ended up there by chance and will definitely come back. The food was very tasty, the service was very friendly. Thank you

I'm often in Kempen for business and schedule my appointments so that I can eat at Ela's restaurant! The staff is super friendly, helpful with special requests, and totally reliable! The food is delicious, always beautifully presented, and excellent value for money. I love coming here and will keep coming back. You do a fantastic job!

Turkish restaurant, family business, friendly atmosphere, fresh food, a varied menu, suitable for vegetarians, additionally a selection of daily specials, with a good price-performance ratio, what more could you want? We felt very comfortable, there are deductions because of the waiting times when ordering and paying.

Very nice restaurant...very hospitable...very good food... Good prices... Nice team...keep it up...😗

Very good authentic Turkish restaurant

A great restaurant, also for vegans! During my vacation in Kempen I looked for a restaurant with vegan food and then ate at Ela every day. There was a large selection of vegan starters, such as hummus, beans, salads each with vegan bread. As a main course they were able to offer me something new every day, more than what was on the menu. Delicious stuffed sweet potatoes, grilled zucchini and eggplant, scalloped cauliflower, Turkish-style noodles, various pide and more. Plus tea on the house. The atmosphere and the employees are also simply great.

Very tasty food at a reasonable price

It's a shame that the quality has deteriorated so much. Has there been a change here? My family and I cannot understand the extremely good reviews. We are really very disappointed.

We were there with several people. Apparently the owner has changed, because it is no longer a restaurant, but rather a mediocre to bad snack bar. This is not just my personal opinion, but that of the entire group. Salt and pepper are thrown onto the table in little bags and the drinks glasses are dirty. And unfortunately the food is not of good quality. It was “okay” but more like a snack bar, and they are usually better. Price performance is not right here at all. Ready-made goods and burnt cheap bread. Salads soaked in vinegar and really not nicely presented all in all. Simply careless and only interested in quick processing and payment. The request for an entertainment receipt was not followed up on, but was simply handwritten on a white pad. The staff was very unprofessional and would rather look at their cell phones than take care of the guests.

After a long time we finally made it back to Ela. We weren't disappointed. As always, the friendliness of the staff was excellent and the food was very, very tasty. We can only recommend the Ela

Wir waren gestern Abend da, auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert. Service super, Essen sehr gut Ambiente passt und sehr sauber. Thank you for your efforts, we are really pleased, you do the job justice, congratulations. See you soon. Regards, Bahtiyar Gediktaş

...as always, A super nice atmosphere, with attentive but not intrusive service. The mixed starter plate is still a dream, and the other dishes we ordered were also very tasty.

Fantastic meal. Tasted excellent. A bit loud and hectic on Friday evening. Still recommended.

Very satisfied, can recommend it to everyone

Everything is great. Always worth a visit.

We have been to Ela for dinner several times and are really impressed by the food and the service. All the dishes we have ordered so far have been very tasty and didn't take long to arrive. The service is very friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself is quite large. The tables in the entrance area and the bar are too dark for us, the covered winter garden is very cozy.

We have eaten at Ela on site several times and have always been satisfied. For New Year's Eve we ordered an appetizer platter for 8 people and Börek. The food was ready for pickup on time and the owners were super friendly as always. The price-performance ratio is more than reasonable. All guests were very satisfied and full :) Many thanks to the whole team at Ela

Very good restaurant, good staff, good service, good food 👍

We were totally thrilled, the food was perfect

We go there every year and love the food, especially the salmon! If you like fish, you should definitely try the salmon!

Ela is a great restaurant. The food tastes very good, the portions are large enough. The service is very friendly and attentive.

The daily menu was presented to us verbally and repeated upon request. The Adana skewers were excellent. Highly recommended! The baklava rounded off the evening. Great service. Great!

Very friendly staff... very accommodating. The food is delicious and the selection is also good 👍🏻

Very friendly staff. Food was great. Ambiance was clean and in tact

Today we had dinner at Ela with 6 people. The restaurant is very nicely decorated, cozy and clean. It's right in town. We enjoyed the food very much. The meat was juicy and well done. The dessert was also incredibly tasty. The staff was very friendly, on the ball and kept asking if everything was okay. All in all, completely satisfied. We will definitely come back again.

The best restaurant in Germany. The taste is very good.

Been there again after a long time. The food is delicious, the employees are more than friendly and dogs are allowed too. I especially recommend the teas.

Delicious food, nice staff, good prices

Cozy local! Food great! And quickly at the table!

Great meal here for the 12th time

Not even finished with starter and already 5 stars! Food came super quickly! I can recommend

There were four of us at ELA Restaurant and it was simply heavenly. Many thanks to everyone responsible. Exceptional and very, very good. The food, the staff, the reception, everything was to our utmost satisfaction.

Excellent Turkish cuisine with changing daily specials, everything prepared very tasty, plus very attentive and extremely friendly service. Nobody in the wider area can easily get past it.

Another really nice evening spent with a larger group. Service is very attentive. The atmosphere is very cozy. The food is sooooo delicious.

A bit noisy, but this is due to the size of the restaurant.

Top price and performance ratio. Super nice service. Excellent food.

Once again delicious starter plates, daily specials and main courses and very friendly, courteous service. We were there at lunchtime and would love to come back.

We were with them last night and everything was fine. We'd love to come back and say hello from Viersen and Bingöl

Fancy restaurant, good service, clean, but the food was quite a dissapointment. My food ok enough, as requested, but the beyti was not too good. If we want good proper served turkish food, we will not come back here. So many other places who does much better. And the athmosphere was not laid back "but fancy". Cold too unfortunately. Tea was good.

Very friendly and polite service. Varied menu.

Great food, family run and everyone is always super friendly.

Very tasty food, good and friendly, courteous service. We'd love to come back

I was recently traveling in Kempen with my husband and, after we had already eaten, we strolled through the city and found the beautiful restaurant. The owner was sitting outside with another person and jumped up and invited us in, he showed us around: the restaurant is huge, which you wouldn't think from the outside. The ambience was great and it was well attended. The food we saw looked very appealing and tasty. The owner offered us a cup of tea because we had just come from dinner and as much as we would have liked to taste the delicious food, we unfortunately couldn't taste it. He didn't let us pay for the tea, not even as a small tip for the coffee fund. A really very hospitable and charming person! Thanks for the great experience, we'll be back!

More than thrilled. We can only speak positively about this restaurant. The food is super tasty and very fresh. The staff is very, very attentive and friendly. Some other restaurants can learn a lesson here.

Great food, the boss has time for small talk In a good mood Any time

Buena comida turca con platos del día, más allá de Döner Kebabs. Restaurante céntrico bien ambientado. Buen servicio.

Good Turkish food. Kitchen with good product and excellent service, very attentive.

We've been eating delicious Turkish food here for many years! Super nice and attentive staff! The dishes are always very tasty and large portions too! The daily specials are always something special! Highly deserved 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Very friendly service and delicious food, we always come back.

We waren hier vandaag met vrienden! We werden geholpen door een vriendelijke jongedame. We hebben heerlijk gegeten, fijne sfeer en na afloop nog een drankje van het huis.

Finally a Turkish restaurant that offers traditional, good Turkish cuisine beyond kebab and falafel. Tasty and reasonably priced... very nice and friendly staff.

Nice atmosphere, good and friendly service. Starters and main courses very tasty. Prices absolutely ok. 100% recommendation!

A great restaurant. The food is very good and the daily specials are very varied. The service is top, always warm and courteous

Simply wonderful! It was our first time at Ela, based on a recommendation - and it hit the mark. Nice atmosphere, super nice & attentive service, the food was very (!) delicious! We were there with 6 people and everyone was thrilled. At the end there was a schnapps or hot apple tea on the house. We'll be back! Tip: reserve! It was very well attended on Sunday.

After a spontaneous visit to their restaurant, we were really pleasantly surprised by the extremely friendly welcome, the great service, the delicious cuisine, and the fair payment for our consumption. Thank you for that, we'll be happy to come back.

It was very tasty. Thank you! :-)

Very friendly staff, great service and delicious food.

It was really very good, great and very good cuisine. The service was unbeatable... you felt very taken care of. We were looked after very well during the evening... we felt like we were among friends... The restaurant and ambience are also very nice. We will definitely come back. Teşekkür. Saygılarımla Michael

Absolutely great! Food was delicious, service was great. Great price-performance ratio

It was our first time there. Very tasty food, something for everyone. Super hospitable, got a starter and tea/schnapps on the house.

Das Essen in diesem Restaurant ist wirklich sehr lecker. Es hat eine familiäre Atmosphäre und die Bedienung ist sehr freundlich und aufmerksam.

Very nice restaurant with a great winter garden. Very friendly service and large menu. We felt very comfortable there and will definitely be back very soon.

Outstanding Turkish food and hospitality! Excellent selection of authentic Turkish dishes!!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Een echt aanrader. We hebben heerlijk gegeten. Je krijgt erg veel van alles ( van mij mag dit wat minder) Super vriendelijke en mee denkend bediening. Dit is een Turkse restaurant zoals het hoort te zijn.

Very good food, cozy atmosphere, friendly staff and the boss is very accommodating

Waiters were very nice and my dogs were more likely to have something to drink than I was. Food was very good, although not exactly cheap. But the quality decides.

For several decades, Ela in Kempen's old town has been THE address for good Turkish cuisine. The dishes were tasty on my last visit, but could have been spicier for my taste. My portion could have been a little more generous, there was still a lot of plate left - I would have expected a little more for the price. The female waitress seemed quite listless, almost annoyed. But the two men were great. At the end there was tea on the house 🫖

Fantastic food, genuine nice people! Definitely coming back here!

Even just a drink, no problem at all!! 😘 Drank a delicious Aperol, thank you! 😘

Ate here at lunchtime on a weekday. The food was excellent in both quantity and quality, and the price was absolutely reasonable. Super friendly staff. On a big bike tour, I was offered fresh water to take with me on the way. Typical Turkish hospitality. The right place for my rest. Thank you Restaurant Ela.

Always super friendly staff, food super delicious :)

We like being at Ela, delicious food and varied daily recommendations.

If possible, we always eat at Ela when we are in Kempen. It's better to reserve a table in the evenings and on weekends. Super beautiful winter garden, nice service and excellent Turkish food.

The best Turkish restaurant I know. Everything very tasty and beautiful.

So delicious and the service is a dream. Also super fond of children. We will be coming here more often now. Thanks for the great afternoon.

Very, very 😋 And a great ambience.

It was a great experience. The food is amazing, the service is amazing, there is nothing to say about the elegance of the place. Absolutely everyone should go.

I had lunch at this place probably 4 or 5 times and neither quality of the food or service lacks anything. The staff is friendly and kind. The food ist fantastic and fairly priced. I will be back. Try a freshly made Ayran and the Adana Kebab. Absultely unbeatable!

I sat outside the restaurant. Therefore no information about the ambience. I liked my sliced ​​lamb with Turkish rice, salad and bread and was completely ok in terms of price-performance ratio. The service was absolutely friendly. At the end I was offered a nightcap

The food was delicious and you were well satisfied. Unfortunately, my fries were unsalted, while the others were too salty.

We were thrilled. There are several vegan and vegetarian options, the seating is comfortable, the staff is very accommodating and friendly.

Overall it wasn't that good. Cons: - Lentil soup (soup of the day) very thin (poor in taste) - long waiting time for the dish (approx. 45 minutes after the starter) - limp fries with hardly any salt or seasoning - very empty looking grill plate (see photo €28) - Lahmacun with carelessly added Salad (see photo €8.50) - lettuce drowned in dressing - Yoghurt dressing/sauce (very bland) - Price/performance ratio is 0 ——— Per: + tea with fresh mint (was full-bodied) It's a real shame... we expected more based on the reviews.

The food was really very good 👍 The atmosphere was great and the staff were very nice ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ deserved five stars

The food was very tasty and fresh. Good value for money, absolutely recommended. Extensive menu, also for vegetarians. The staff was very friendly. This restaurant is always worth a visit.

We always enjoy going here. The food is always delicious and everything else is perfect here. A great Turkish specialty restaurant...

We haven't been there for a while, but we used to go there more often. There seems to have been a change of ownership!!?? After this last visit, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it anymore.

Excellent food and first class service. Perfectly happy. We recommend. Very friendly and accommodating. If something doesn't suit a customer, it's uncomplicated and absolutely customer-friendly. Always positive. Great company philosophy. Lamb chops today. Top class. J

In order to evaluate a service, the restaurant would also have to have provided a service. We were ignored for 2 1/2 and the two times staff came to our place, our order was even forgotten. We even had to ask for the bill several times!! NO, Ela is definitely not worth a second visit!!!

That's okay, it used to be better.

Fantastic food and best owner! Very obliging :)

Simply delicious, clean and cozy. See you next time.

Ate here a few years ago and went there again at the end of last year. It's really slowed down a lot. The service was very bad and unfriendly. The waitresses seemed annoyed. The food was too salty, not just on my plate. The side salad, on the other hand, is not seasoned and offers nothing. Iceberg lettuce!!!! Overall far too expensive for what you get. I won't be coming back and should have listened to numerous opinions from my circle of friends. It was very busy.

We had the starter plate for 2 people. Then 2 more dishes. Pasta casserole with salmon and eggplant casserole with minced meat. Everything was great, plentiful and very tasty. The dry red wine was awesome. We were very satisfied and will come back.

Here you understand something about the preparation of lamb. Unlike what is usually usual in German restaurants. Delicious. And the other dishes also taste very good.

Ela in Kempen, we had Turkish food for the first time and it was fantastic. Very tasty, well seasoned. Service was great and so was the ambience. Gladly again.

My husband and I really liked it. The food was very tasty.

A very nice, tastefully decorated restaurant. The food is very, very tasty and very appetizingly prepared. There is a good selection. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. I can only recommend the restaurant!

I had ordered Beyti, when my light one arrived, I was speechless because the portion was quite large. It tasted very good and was lovingly prepared. My friends and I really enjoyed the dishes and the time. Very friendly service, very good visited. I'll definitely be back. Thank you very much :-)
