ETiler Cafe & Restaurant in Duisburg

We had dinner here with guests from abroad last summer and unfortunately we were not satisfied. The insides of the lahmacun were falling apart and it was argued that this was how it should be. The meat was not fully cooked (adana kebab). The prices were much more expensive than other restaurants. Also, one of the seat edges came off and fell hard on the ground and was about to injure a small child. Apart from a smiling female staff, there was no good impression, it was our second and last experience. We do not recommend it.

We waited over an hour for our food, which was burnt. Very disorganized and stressed employees. And way too expensive for what you get, where else you pay half as much.

I was here for breakfast today and I absolutely loved it! The selection was large, from fresh flat bread and börek to delicious egg dishes and fruit. Everything was lovingly prepared and of high quality. I particularly enjoyed the Turkish tea/coffee. The atmosphere was cozy and the staff was super friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be back - a perfect start to the day!

Very friendly welcome at reception. Respond to all wishes. Breakfast is amazing and I can only recommend it to everyone. The visit here was definitely worth it ❤️

Food tastes very good, child-friendly, service is great, we go there often

Were there during Lent: - Soup arrived on time - Due to the reservation, the table was already set and salads, antipasti and baklava were already at the table - We had to wait almost an hour for the grill plate - the skewers were charred - The waiters were friendly - the inflexibility regarding the Ramadan menu is not customer-oriented - The dessert (baklava) was subpar

I called on Friday to make a reservation for yesterday, Sunday, March 9th, 2025 because I know that Ramadan will be busy. The man on the phone confirmed the reservation under my name. Then yesterday we showed up at the restaurant with my mother and brother at 6 p.m. sharp. A man whose name I don't know (but was bald) told me coldly that he had allegedly called me 10 times to tell me that the reservation had been canceled. Of course that wasn't true and he couldn't prove to me that he called me 10 times, not 10 times, he didn't even call me once. He also told me that he supposedly hadn't confirmed the reservation to me on Friday, which of course isn't true either. I'm not stupid and I drive from Düsseldorf to Duisburg to a shop where I didn't even get the confirmation. After a long discussion, I didn't have the energy to continue discussing it with this guy because I just realized that he was just lying coldly to my face and showing no shame, instead of at least saying honorably and honestly that you may have made a mistake in the planning, but no, of course you're too cowardly for that. This way of lying to the customer and supposedly having called 10 times is the lowest possible order. I will never enter a store like this again, let alone recommend it to others, even though I enjoyed going there before!!!!! Su mübarek ay da bile bunlari yapiyorsunuz ya, yaziklar olsun sizin gibi restaurant sahiplerine!!!

Ramadan Rating: -Food arrived quickly -Food was served cold -Chicken skewer was way too dry and burnt -too expensive for what was served

Was there during Ramadan. Waited 1 hour and got nothing.. Never go here again

We went there for Iftar for the first time and were completely thrilled. The service was first class – very friendly and attentive! The food tasted excellent and the prices are currently absolutely fair. We can definitely recommend the restaurant and will definitely come back inşallah! 👍🏻

We were there for the first time on Saturday with 9 people.. the meat was raw for everyone.. and we didn't like it.. the rice was inedible.. we paid 200 euros and told the boss that the meat was raw. He couldn't give us an answer and asked for the 200 euros.. dirty shop never again..

Super taste, super quality place

Very tasty, everything clean and fresh.

The food was really very, very tasty at first glance when it arrived, but that was it, but even when we started eating it really came back to me, we were 3 people and had ordered 3 grill plates, the meat was almost raw in all of them, the yoghurt tasted like curds, the bread was cold and old, we paid a total of €77.82 for everything and that's really disrespectful. We were there shortly after 10 p.m. It's now 4:38 a.m. while I'm giving this review I have half of my head over the toilet and have been vomiting for the last 10 minutes, especially when I keep smelling the meaty smell on my fingers that hasn't gone away after washing my hands 40 times. Absolute impudence!!! You should boycott the store. It's disrespectful

Disgusting !!! I was eating at a restaurant with two friends earlier. The meat was raw and unappetizing! We all vomited after eating. I wouldn't recommend this food to anyone!!!

Simply good. We love eating here when we are nearby. Especially the wet wipes that you get after eating smell so good. Always have to smell my hands all the time 😄

I have eaten here very often and every time it has been delicious and the service is top. I recommend it to anyone who wants fresh, delicious food

You can expect a meat restaurant to still have red meat available after 8 p.m. Unfortunately there was only chicken and Adana. Therefore, there are no other options for me to visit. Waiting time for an Adana is about 55 minutes. .

The food is a 3/10 the staff as well as the owner I waited 50 minutes for the food First and last visit ✌🏽

The welcome at the entrance was very warm. The employees are friendly and helpful. The food is delicious. I recommend

We ate moderately, the service was a 10, the food was also a 10.

Unfortunately very disappointed with the service. We had breakfast with a larger group (15 people). We were told twice on the phone in advance that we would be sitting a little longer because we also wanted to cut the cake. The cold dishes were already brought to the table and we had to wait almost 30 minutes for the warm dishes. After the long wait, the complete breakfast wasn't on the table after the 5 complaints we made to the cashier and after another 20/30 minutes something was replenished, but there were still things missing... We only had one teapot for the entire table and had to ask if we could get two more. Then we asked when we would like to cut the cake because the next reservation was about to happen. We explained that it wasn't communicated on the phone that we had a time limit, so we asked the waitress to clear the table, clean it and ask the guests what they would like to drink besides the cake. Unfortunately, this wasn't fully implemented - the last row of tables wasn't cleaned and no one asked what we would like to drink. After we cut the cake, we were kindly asked to finally leave because the next group was already there. Very sad had better experience, we will not visit this restaurant again. However, everything tasted fine.

I celebrated my 30th birthday with you yesterday. It really was such a beautiful evening. The food was super tasty and everyone really enjoyed it. Everything was freshly prepared and beautifully presented. I was allowed to decorate in advance according to my wishes. The winter garden is great for a small, closed group! Patio heaters are available. Everything was very well organized and the staff was always nice and accommodating. I will definitely recommend the restaurant. We'll definitely be back. Thank you for everything. ❤️

Some of the order was taken incorrectly, but that wasn't a big problem as we also received the order we originally wanted without any problems. Overall, the service was also quite quick. However, the speed could have been a reason for another problem: the meat was still completely bloody. I could hardly eat anything from my plate because it grossed me out. I ate meze and fries for the price of a grill plate👍🏼

We waited for food for more than 1 hour. Lamb skewer was too hard

The two of us had breakfast. We didn't know beforehand what was included in the breakfast. The table for 4 was packed full to the brim with food, everything looked great. The quantity, quality and service were excellent. Price performance was top. Have no complaints whatsoever.

It wasn't the first time we ate at Etiler. The restaurant has now lost a lot of quality. We were in the restaurant today and ordered for four people. Pide came first although we were told it will take longer. We had already finished the pide and the other orders only came after we pointed it out to the waiters. The mixed grill plate was very disappointing. Findiklahmacun and Köfte were missing, instead of Pirzola we got Kaburga and then asking €25 for that is very sad. Many other tables also waited an extremely long time for their food.

Overpriced and tasteless The food was bland, carelessly prepared and absolutely not worth the money. Despite high prices, quality was lacking. The service was inattentive - a complete disappointment!

I found that the prices are now really overpriced for the small portions you get. I ordered chicken (tavuk Şiş) with fries. The fries were served in a rack that wasn't even half full. Additionally, a few fries were arranged on the plate to make the portion appear larger - this felt very deceptive. The chicken was tasty but not salty at all. Overall a disappointing experience.

We were there for breakfast on a Sunday and absolutely loved it. An extremely family-friendly shop with a warm atmosphere and a kitchen that impresses with truly delicious food. Absolutely recommended and definitely worth a visit!

Delicious food Clean shop Very friendly service In short: Highly recommended

Unfortunately I can't recommend it

I ate at this restaurant with my friends and can absolutely recommend it. We had to wait in line for about 10 minutes, but it was definitely worth it. As soon as we got a table, we were immediately served a starter plate with various dips, warm homemade bread and a fresh salad. Everything was super tasty. The service was extremely friendly and responded to all of our requests. We tried the mixed grill platter with rice and various types of meat. Highly recommended. The quality of the food and the portions were top, and the price-performance ratio is really okay. A great experience that I can recommend to everyone! We'll definitely be back.

Food was delicious, server was very friendly and accommodating. Ambience very good.

Very nice atmosphere, food tasted great, but the service was very slow

The Etiler Café & Restaurant is a real insider tip. The atmosphere is cozy and stylish, perfect for a relaxed meal with family or friends. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive - we immediately felt at home. The menu offers a great selection of dishes, and everything we ordered was fresh and incredibly tasty. The price-performance ratio is also right here. I will definitely come back and recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy good food in a welcoming environment. Many thanks to the team for the great evening!

Our first and last visit to ‘ETiler’ We had previously reserved a table for December 31st and everything went well so far. We arrive, are taken to our table and given a meze plate and bread with the menu. Okay...that was quick but I didn't question it. When ordering they say “our oven is broken and there is no more kebab meat” - you should have said that before the mezes came to the table! Our choice of food was extremely limited. One of us had ordered soup as a starter and we placed the entire order and we're waiting...we're waiting...and we're waiting. After 45 minutes the main course arrived, after asking where the soup was, the waiter said “I canceled it because the food came before” - without telling me beforehand! Appetizers are served beforehand! The Adana in the Dürum was COLD for me and one other person, as if it had been in the fridge before and not on the grill before. We ordered 1 Urfa plate, 2 Adana Dürüm and 1 grill plate. The grill plate was not complete, the small lahmacuns were missing - caused by the broken oven. We sent the food back and luckily received it warm. We ate quickly and then quickly disappeared. As we were leaving we saw a second couple complaining and the waiter then said "We're sorry, can we offer you desert as an apology?". Apparently we weren't the only ones that had a bad experience that evening. Because of the bad experience that the boss had? We should have also noticed that we were not accommodated. Too bad. This is how you lose customers and dear staff! This will definitely be our last visit. I don't want to make any assumptions, after our visit someone in the household got a stomach bug a day later - we don't know whether it was caused by the visit, but we avoid this restaurant as much as possible.

Unfortunately, we got a very, very bad impression and the whole thing in more than just one visit. Several people's food was brought at different times (there was about 30 minutes between the first and last portion). In addition, Adana was a disaster. The waiters are also mostly unfriendly and incompetent.

Absolute disaster, I waited 2 hours for my food. The first and last time I was here. Didn't even get food at the end.

Unfortunately, our visit to the restaurant was anything but satisfactory. While everyone else at the table had already finished their meal, I was still waiting for my pizza. After repeated reminders, it finally came, but it was so salty that it was inedible. Ultimately I had to return the pizza. The staff was polite and friendly, but that couldn't make up for the serious weaknesses in service and food quality. For a restaurant of this type, the experience was simply disappointing. Conclusion: 1/5 stars – friendliness alone is not enough when service and quality decline so much.

Super nice shop, great ambience, nice service and excellent food. Fresh, tasty, simply delicious. From the grill plate for 2 to dessert, everything was perfect. 100% recommendation, we will definitely come more often.

The position I expected isn't there, sory

Absolutely not recommended!!!!!! After more than an hour the grill plate was served, fries and rice were simply cold, the kofta were also cold (I think they were on another plate beforehand and were left over), the portions were a joke at this price, The sanitary facilities are a disgrace (even when there is a lot going on, someone has to take care of them from time to time) just a waste of money, never again…….

Everything is amazing and delicious.

Disappointing across the board We were full of anticipation, but the visit was a complete failure. We only waited 10 minutes for a table despite having a reservation...The service afterwards was a disaster: our cutlery was incomplete and while napkins were being diligently refilled at other tables, we were completely ignored. Particularly annoying: two couples who came clearly after us were served before us. The waiting time was extremely long – for both the starter and the main course. When the food finally came, the disappointment was complete: the lamb fillet was tough, fatty and simply inedible. Honestly the worst fillet I've ever eaten. Unfortunately, we weren't the only ones who were annoyed - guests at the tables around us also complained about the long waiting time, the poor service and the poor quality of the food. Conclusion: The restaurant was neither convincing in terms of service nor quality. It's a shame about the money - we definitely won't be coming back.

Waited 1 hour for food, food arrived cold Never again !

It was the first time there and NOT the last time. Very very tasty and great service

A very nice restaurant, great quality food. Value for money is very good. We had the grill plate, the meat was grilled to perfection, very well seasoned and the taste was a 10 out of 10. Always happy.

The food was delicious, the service was really good and the ambience is great

We went for the first time yesterday. It's a beautiful place. The waiters and staff are professional and successful in customer service. Prices are affordable. We bought a grill for two people and it is perfectly enough. I wouldn't recommend a place easily, but this place is worth recommending. I wish them success and hope they remain professional.

Different short or long waiting times for food. Eat only lukewarm Grill plate quite clear Jacket messed up due to dish dropped by staff

I was in transit again in 2023 and 2024 and unfortunately I have to go from 5 to 3 stars. Food was just okay, what was worse was that our dishes were delivered 10 minutes later. My plate was previously “wrong” on two tables and ended up lukewarm when I received it. 2022: 5 stars We were passing through and wanted a quick breakfast. I had a soup with bread and some greens. Conclusion: delicious, warm and authentic soup. If I ever get lost in Duisburg again I will order a plated meal.

Tasty, good service, everything was great

Good Turkish dishes. Nice staff. It also looks good inside.

Worst service in a long time! The staff doesn't pay any attention to the customers. Price performance not recommended at all.

Top food, top quality, always happy for anyone who hasn't been there yet, it's definitely worth a visit 👌🏻

Super great breakfast. Slightly higher in price. But absolutely recommended. Very tasty and plenty of service, super nice. Didn't reserve a table. But it wasn't a problem at all.

Attentive and friendly service, nice ambience, delicious food. We will definitely go there again...

We came to Germany to travel with my wife. It came across as a venue suggestion. The place is beautiful and the interior is of very high quality in terms of hygiene. But unfortunately, the meat was raw so my wife's plate was changed, but the new doner plate arrived in the same shape. In my mixed grill, both meatballs and steak came raw. The authorized friend offered to bring a new one, but we did not want it because the time was too late, we left without eating and paid the fee in full. In short, the restaurant is beautiful in terms of hygiene and architecture, but it is not as successful in terms of food.

We went with my family for breakfast in the “serpme Kahvalti” style and ordered for 3 people. When breakfast arrived the first impression was ok, it looked like a classic Turkish breakfast. 2 bowls were filled with brown fried mushrooms. I picked up a fork and I honestly thought I was going to pass out from disgust. There was a !ball!!! on my fork! black hair, like a woman brushing her hair and shaping the hair that has fallen out into a ball. That mixed in the sauce with the mushrooms….. This was by far the most disgusting experience I have ever had in my life. After we called a waitress to show her, she seriously just offered to take the bowls to the back. Neither the service staff nor the payment at the checkout took what happened seriously. No discount at all - disgusting shop. I got herpes the next day because of the disgust... The public order office urgently needs to stop by. I strongly advise you not to eat there

The store looks great and the service is really great! But the grill plate is a disaster for €25. Köfte and Adana taste like rubber, rice is sticky and has no taste, lamb is very dry and doesn't taste good either. The black tea also only tasted like water. Fries, salad, bread, chicken and meze were good. But there are significantly better restaurants in Duisburg in terms of taste and, above all, at a better price.

Everything is fine, but the service fee at the checkout is a bit ridiculous.

It was really fun and enjoyable🫠🫠🫠

The breakfast is great: fresh bread and various baked goods and a huge selection. And if you don't get enough, you'll get more. Authentic Turkish breakfast with nice, attentive staff. We will definitely come back! And the meat counter looked very good - but we still have to test it for a review

Now you can say that you ate very delicious meat.

Rarely have we received such good service, the food was delicious - the staff were very polite and courteous. Price-performance more than great. We always enjoy coming back :) In my opinion, the best restaurant in Duisburg

Incredibly delicious breakfast, I felt like I was in Turkey.

I can say that it is the best restaurant in the region. The food is very delicious and the prices are very affordable. The place is clean and hygienic.

Prices were affordable. Portions were big, we couldn't finish it. It was said about Alexander that he does not look like Alexander. Yes, it doesn't look like those meat-smelling iskender with lots of pita. It is much more delicious and has plenty of meat. Whatever we ate, Adana, pita, lahmacun, was very good. I wish this restaurant existed in Turkey. Thanks. Thank you

We spontaneously went to the restaurant with 11 people, including children, and were given a very warm welcome. Despite the large group, we quickly found space and the food was served quickly. We all enjoyed it very much! We spent 2-3 hours there and even with the kids the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. The service was consistently attentive and courteous. I can highly recommend the restaurant – it was a thoroughly successful visit!

I have been living in Germany for many years, I have been to many restaurants at home and abroad, good service, friendly staff, fast service and delicious food. I recommend it to everyone.

I am really very disappointed with the entrecote for which I paid €35!!! It really wasn't prepared tasty. The menu also said that you get it with potatoes, spinach and vegetables. I didn't get any potatoes or other vegetables, instead I got fried chips with lots of spice powder. For €35 I really expect a lot more. That was really a poor performance. I can't recommend the food.

Very good restaurant with the perfect food and friendly service! The meat was perfect! And also very tasty side dishes and sauces. I highly recommend this restaurant!

We came especially from Münster. We haven't regretted it for a second. Thanks for the great service. Some people can learn something from there. Food has to taste exactly like that. We'll definitely be back. Thanks to Keller (unfortunately I forgot his name) who has been in Germany for two years.

I don't like writing bad reviews, but I can't help it here. It's a very nice restaurant but the food isn't good at all. Waited 45 minutes for the food. Meat was cold, totally tasteless and burnt. Rice was just as cold and smelled sour, as if it had been there for a long time. Salads were simply thrown together somehow and were floating in what felt like 3 liters of pomegranate syrup, so you couldn't eat them either. Even the drinks were non-carbonated. Never again.

Everything is great, the starters are fabulously delicious, the food in general is a taste bomb, it tastes so good

I eat here often. It is the best Turkish restaurant in the area. Price-performance is fair. The waitresses are friendly and helpful. The restaurant is attractively decorated and clean.

One of the worst restaurants I have ever eaten in!!! Bad staff and the food was way too dry and hardly seasoned. For that money I would rather eat somewhere else! Way too expensive for 0815 food.

Unfortunately, when it comes to food and services, it's a huge disaster. Sometimes it's the little things that you don't pay attention to that make you feel uncomfortable. - Services called several times with no response - All guests get oil and syrup on the table, despite our request. - unfriendly looks Food tastes bad. You shouldn't say that, but it's the truth. 0 seasoned, meat completely dry. Tried once, never again!

I am very satisfied with my visit here! We celebrated my mother's birthday and were served very attentively and politely! That's how gastronomy works!!! The quality of the food is really good!!!

I haven't had such good service for a long time. Before we could even take a look at the menu, various dips and bread were put on the table. The drinks came quickly and the food arrived after we had finished the appetizer. The employees were very friendly and gave us a very good feeling. The portion sizes are above average. The evening was rounded off with tea. We'd love to come back!

Delicious food at a good price 👌

Our favorite place to eat when we go to Germany. Literally the best Turkish meat restaurant in the area. Especially the “Paca corbasi” is perfect.

They spent a lot of effort and money and built a beautiful place, but the employees are very rude, I came on recommendation but I will never come again..

It was neither clean nor tasty. The food was cold and the drinks didn't come until we were almost finished.

The food was inedible and the service was also a disaster. Normally I don't give bad reviews but I couldn't let it go. You'll just forget, the food doesn't come, etc. Unfortunately, it's a bad experience.

I can't recommend it, sorry, but you spend so much money, especially for people who are stakers, if you can't do stakes then don't offer that either. To be honest, especially with the side dishes that aren't available, stake it all the way through and ten, no thanks! Starter plates ok The rest boy how many onions do you want to add and the drinks are full the rip off 2.50 for 0.2 bottles so I like to spend money on food but never here again! And hires waiters who also speak German.

Food is good overall, but when I eat Adana, I feel that the ground beef is not good quality.

We love having breakfast there, it's always very good.

Everything was delicious, great service and my recommendation is the baked goods: Lahmacun and the bread

Always delicious, everything is great

Best restaurant, always friendly, always delicious. Always my pleasure

We went out to smoke, we said we would continue, but when we entered, they had cleared the table. Half of it went to waste.

Great and rich breakfast, which fortunately is not delivered from the buffet but directly to the table. More than enough with everything your heart desires. Prices absolutely reasonable. Service and owner very friendly. Only recommended.

Car purchase 24 hours was eating here. The 5 stars are honestly deserved.

The food is delicious and the service is super attentive and friendly! Above all, the cleanliness is particularly noteworthy, as unfortunately you rarely see this in restaurants these days.

That place was recommended by a friend, so we went there during our holiday. Definitely it worths to go there and enjoy the nice food.

The phone was dead and I couldn't take a picture. Very tasty and fresh meze, we took chop shish, mercemek, beyti, lahmajun, Turkish cuisine. There is a mosque 👍

Quality is simply 100% 5 stars and the staff is extremely friendly, all your wishes will be fulfilled here

I'll start with food. As an honest regular customer, I have to say the food is not the best but the best in the Duisburg area +20 km. Unfortunately, service is saved with Bulgarians or people who only speak broken German, so only 3 stars for service and that's for the love of the boss waiter, who is very friendly. The best thing comes last, of course: the ambience. The store is super clean! You feel very comfortable on the seats and tables. The toilets are also great. A fair and honest assessment from me in the overall package is a strong 4 *
