Fasil Restaurant in Solingen

The second visit was great again!

Always worth a trip... says it all :)

Thank you so much for the delicious food. I'm so glad to be well cooked for after a hard week at work.

Good food and good service. We'll be happy to come back.

Incredibly delicious. The team has everything under control. The food is truly amazing. I highly recommend it. We drive over an hour just to experience this taste.

Very good food Very friendly waiters. Highly recommended.

We love going to Fasil. The atmosphere, food, and service are simply superb. We highly recommend the fish dishes.

The food was very good, however, the staff should take responsibility for their own mistakes, such as bringing the wrong dish instead of trying to pass it off on the customer. Refusing to serve the customer afterward is completely unacceptable. Therefore, I will not be returning.

We ate here to celebrate my son's birthday. Everything was absolutely delicious, the service was friendly and attentive, and the birthday boy even received a little surprise at the end. We've been here several times before and will definitely be back ☺️

Top-notch restaurant! It's amazing that there's such a place in Solingen. Modern ambiance. Beautifully decorated, and the food is fantastic!

The new Fasil is unfortunately far too loud, with an atmosphere reminiscent of a train station restaurant. What a shame.

Highly recommended to reserve a table in advance

As always, a great lunch at really good prices. Excellent service, everyone very friendly. We'll be back.

Top class!! Simply delicious and clean

Very nice restaurant, everything was top-notch. I can only recommend it.

It was really delicious and reasonably priced. We'd love to come back.

Highly recommended restaurant. We've been there several times, and everything has always been excellent. Delicious food, friendly service, fair prices, and a cozy atmosphere. We would definitely come back. The appetizer platters are also highly recommended.

Great restaurant, incredibly friendly staff. And the food is fantastic... Highly recommended...a must-do in Solingen 👍👍👍👍

Incredibly delicious food. Unfortunately, the service was a bit inattentive. My wine was empty, and no one noticed.

Incredibly delicious!!! I highly recommend the grill plate for two!

The food is good, the portions are decent, though perhaps a bit overpriced by €5 here and there, and the service is generally friendly. Despite having a reservation, we had to wait for our table twice already – once for 15 minutes, once for 20 minutes. The ambiance has also deteriorated, as more and more tables have been added over the years, and you're packed in like a sardine. Nevertheless, if you appreciate good food and have the cash to spare, you'll be in good hands here.

Amazing food Everything was 10/10 And the service was really amazing

The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. The chef found out by chance that we were celebrating, and dessert arrived promptly, with lots of delicious treats. Thank you very much.

Every time I come to Germany there is only one place to eat...FASIL.

Superb food, friendly service, and a chic restaurant. Plenty of space for larger groups to celebrate special occasions. Prices are a bit higher, but you get high-quality food. Definitely try the chocolate lava cake. 10/10 😇

We used Fasil's catering service for a large event with around 50 people – and we were absolutely thrilled! The selection of dishes was very diverse, outstanding in taste, and perfectly coordinated. Everything was fresh, lovingly prepared, and delivered on time. Excellent value for money! We would especially like to highlight Mehmet, the owner. He was extremely accommodating, attentive, and professional from the very beginning. All our requests were met flexibly, and the entire organization ran smoothly and reliably. Fasil not only met our expectations, but exceeded them. We can wholeheartedly recommend the catering service and will definitely book them again!

We usually went there in the evenings, except for one time this time for lunch. I highly recommend it for dinner. Absolutely fantastic food, and the service is very good both at lunch and in the evening. Unfortunately, the food at lunch was significantly below the standard we were used to and tasted somewhat like ready-made/packaged sauce. Perhaps they have a different approach/chef at lunch than in the evening. That would be a real shame, because I've always found the evenings to be exceptionally good without exception.

Fasil is a real highlight in Solingen for anyone who wants to enjoy upscale Turkish-Mediterranean cuisine in a stylish ambience. With its excellent service, tasteful furnishings and excellent food selection, it offers an all-round successful experience. Whether for a romantic dinner, a convivial evening with friends or a special celebration - Fasil is definitely worth a visit.

First of all, the food is very good!!! BUT it is packed and very narrow. The service also suffers as a result. It's a shame because the kitchen deserves at least 6 stars!

The food is super delicious. Everything is great. Except for the one waitress with very short hair or a short bob and glasses, she is unfortunately very unfriendly and gets annoyed if you don't understand or hear her because of the noise outside. No smile to be seen on the face. Unfortunately, she also seems annoyed when you reorder something. It's not clear at all. If you can't deal with customers, maybe take up another job :)

This restaurant is usually fully booked in advance - and rightly so. The food is incredibly authentic and high quality. The meat from the charcoal grill in particular is always excellently prepared and of the best quality. If you want to eat here, you should definitely make a reservation in advance. A real insider tip for all fans of Turkish cuisine!

I'd like to confirm my original review; after several visits, I still highly recommend Fasil. I only find the newfangled pouring measure (0.15 l) for wine a bit annoying; I expect puddles in the water more in a gourmet shop than in a down-to-earth Turkish restaurant. By the way, you can park for free on Saturday evenings and Sundays in the nearby Birkenweiher parking lot. ---------- 2024 Review: At the beginning of the year, just for fun—just for us—we chose the restaurants in the surrounding area that have never disappointed us. Service and value for money were, of course, also taken into account. Haus Stemberg (Velbert) and our former Michelin-starred restaurant Heldmann (now history for us) are undoubtedly among the award winners. In the lower price segment, there are the Restaurant Bergischer Löwe (Wermelskirchen), the Osteria Windhövelchen (Haan), the Al Howara (Wuppertal), and "last but not least," the Fasil. We have appreciated the Fasil for many years and are familiar with the previous premises, which fell victim to the new Sparkasse building. Now, the restaurant has been located a few doors down for some time now. Here, too, we appreciate the sophisticated ambiance, the well-designed bar area, the orderly table setting, and especially the good room acoustics; even with a full house, the noise level has been quite acceptable. On Sundays after the movies, we've always been lucky without a reservation and got one of the sometimes quite close-packed tables for two. Despite the numerous seats, a reservation is recommended for Friday and Saturday evenings. The place is buzzing! The service staff is always friendly and attentive to the guests. One young gentleman in particular stood out, who has a good eye on his area and usually notices even empty glasses immediately. Furthermore, the friendly manager is usually present. We happily share a generous mixed starter plate with lightly toasted flatbread, followed by the grilled meat platter for one person. We're completely stuffed afterward. On our last visit, we had two main courses, preceded by a portion of ezme. This traditional salsa made with peppers, parsley, chili, garlic, and onions couldn't be better; it's slightly spicy, has no bitter notes, and is perfectly seasoned. We've never had it as good as here. The grilled platter is also consistently impressive in terms of both taste and quality; the meat is well-cooked, juicy, and has lovely roasted aromas. The Turkish rice is just as I've had the pleasure of trying it in a private setting. Bulgur or potato chips are also available as a side dish. The crisp, fresh side salad with honey-mustard dressing and the two dips, a slightly sweet cocktail sauce, and cacik, are very good, although we think it could have used a bit more garlic. Okay, €28.50 is a bit of a price these days, but it's still reasonable for the quality offered. I know other restaurants that are drastically overdoing it these days! My boyfriend enjoyed an eggplant stuffed with ground beef and onions, served with spicy tomato sauce, natural yogurt, and rice. Good drink selection! Not mainstream like in many Turkish restaurants that serve alcohol. They even offer my favorite rosé wine, Rosa dei Frati, by the bottle. A clear recommendation! In this price range, one of the best addresses in the city of blades!

We went to Fasil for the first time on a recommendation. As soon as we were greeted, we were greeted in a very friendly manner and escorted to our table. Our waitress at the table was a very warm and understanding woman with a lot of humor - really great! We ordered different starters and main courses and swapped them with each other. Everything was very tasty, nice and hot and prepared with love. About our starters: The Sigara Börek were beautifully prepared, not too greasy despite being fried/baked and the yoghurt-garlic dip was perfect. The baked zucchini and aubergines were also delicious, not finished and with a super delicious dip. The stuffed and baked mushrooms were also a highlight. My main course was the stuffed eggplant. Very well prepared, in a delicious tomato sauce, filled with minced meat and onions and gratinated with cheese. Add some baked vegetables and rice with garlic-yoghurt sauce. Really recommended! Price performance was great, there was even a notice for all guests from 9 p.m. about the cocktail happy hours, which also applies to non-alcoholic cocktails. We'll definitely be back ☺️ P.S.: thank you for the great hospitality and the blue bottle 👍

Great and authentic restaurant, wonderful service and food! An absolute recommendation. We'll definitely be back!

Food tastes great. There's nothing wrong with it.

Everything I ate, shrimp, calamari, octopus, feta cheese, was delicious. The food has really been thought and worked on, there are special touches in all of them, I liked it very much, Mr. Ali, the manager, and his son are very attentive and friendly, it was very enjoyable to host guests or have dinner in such a restaurant. Thank you 🙏

Highly recommended. It's a visit to friends and we always have a really nice time there. The food is well prepared and always a pleasure.

We have been to FASIL in Solingen several times - and each time it was an all-round great experience. The food is of outstanding quality, freshly prepared and served with great attention to detail. We would particularly like to emphasize the excellent service: attentive, friendly and always professional. The ambience is stylish and cozy at the same time - you simply feel welcome. FASIL has also impressed us several times as a catering partner. We hire the restaurant for private parties at least twice a year, and every time everything was perfectly organized - from the food to the communication. A great family business with a lot of passion. Mehmet and his team always do their best. We can fully recommend the FASIL. Thank you for everything!

The best restaurant I met in Solingen! Food and service TOP!

We ate at Fasil with a larger group. The service staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was very tasty. We particularly enjoyed the warm appetizer platter for two people. Despite the restaurant being full, the food for our group of 15 arrived at the same time. Really a compliment to the kitchen organization and service. The ambience was also very appealing. If we feel like Turkish cuisine again, we would love to come back to Fasil in Solingen. For us, the journey from Remscheid was worth it.

Definitely one of the best Turkish cuisine restaurants with a touch of international fusion. Nice, pleasant atmosphere and very nice service staff. I can objectively recommend it without hesitation.

Wow, a top restaurant. Great from the service to the food. Card payment possible. Parking nearby.

Very tasty food. Nice and attentive staff

We ate at Fasil for the first time on a weekday with 2 friends (i.e. 4 people) and that was definitely the last time. When first placing the order for drinks, the waitress was quite overwhelmed and distracted. She often had to ask again and, strangely enough, couldn't remember for 5 seconds what had been ordered. Overall she seemed disorganized. Here we thought ok, it's full and maybe she's having a bad day. Then came the drinks we ordered, where moldy berries were used as a visually appealing decoration. Looks nice, but is more than inappropriate. This shouldn't happen in a kitchen! Never, should something like that happen. The waitress apologized and said she would let the kitchen know. Little did we know that this wouldn't be the only mold faux pas. We ordered the starter platters with cold and warm starters, each for 2 people. The dips were ok, but I've had much better in many Turkish and Arabic restaurants. It is very light in terms of spices and is somewhat tailored to the German palate. The bread was ok, I don't think it was homemade, if it was then it would have to be rated worse. For the main course I had the grilled variations and my wife had the Iskender (meat bread cubes and tomato sauce with yoghurt). The grilled meat was ok. In oriental cuisine, the lamb is usually seasoned with a little cinnamon because it acts as a flavor enhancer and makes the lamb taste really good. The important thing is “seasoned” and not “soaked”. Everything tasted very much like cinnamon, so you thought of Christmas cookies. The minced skewer tasted very strange and the person opposite didn't eat it either because we both thought the mince was no longer completely fresh or that it was so poorly seasoned. Until then, with very mixed feelings, we came to dessert. We took 2 desserts that we wanted to share between the four of us. Once there was the baklava and the Balli yoghurt. Lo and behold, both came with moldy fruit as decoration. And it was the same varieties again that were moldy. This is a complete impudence and is dangerous to your health. The chef who was there that evening, we come from the catering industry ourselves, would have been warned by me and given a leave of absence. The four of us paid just under €250 there. There was no reasonable excuse for this really unsuccessful meal and this incomprehensible double faux pas with the moldy fruit. As a restaurateur, I would have sunk into the ground in shame and would definitely have at least removed the "moldy" drinks or desserts from the bill. Our conclusion is that it is a completely unfairly praised restaurant that delivers medium quality food. The quality of the meat is not outstanding, but is in a normal range. We won't be visiting Fasil again, and not just because mold on food is an absolute "no go" and cannot be excused, but more because of how the situation is handled. Laughing as a service when mold appears on the food for the second time and saying I can't help it is simply no way to deal with such a difficult situation. An immediate apology should be made, the owner who was there should have taken care of it because there was mold on the food the second time, and my chef should have personally apologized to the guests. It is not enough to point out that the boss PERSONALLY brings the new dessert. Wow? This happens when restaurants are subject to hype and the owner thinks, it doesn't matter, other guests will come to eat. I'll just tell you one thing, as soon as the economy gets worse and you have to fight for guests, you would be happy if we were there as guests.

Unfortunately our experience was disappointing. Despite having a reservation, we had to wait to be seated and then it took 45 minutes for our food to arrive. The service was disorganized and it seemed like some guests were being given preferential treatment. Overall not a satisfactory experience.

Top, top, top. Great quality and lovely staff!

The service was once again sensationally good. Unfortunately we weren't quite as happy with the food this time. The quality of the meat used to be better.

The Turkish restaurant Fasil in Solingen impresses with its courteous, professional and attentive staff. The stylish, clean ambience creates a pleasant, feel-good atmosphere in which you immediately feel welcome. The high-quality dishes, from traditional meze to perfectly grilled meat, not only impress in terms of taste, but also with an outstanding price-performance ratio. A clear recommendation for all lovers of authentic Turkish cuisine.

Very good and cozy restaurant with damn good food. Price/performance ratio is right. There is also a very good lunch menu!

Had dinner at Fasil again. As always, great atmosphere, very good, friendly, fast and competent service. The food is of a very high standard and very fresh and tasty. The owner is also very friendly, a real host 👍🏻 We always enjoy coming there.

Great restaurant with very friendly staff and nice atmosphere!

Super nice staff, super good and fast service. Very, very tasty food just as it should be. A family company that has a great future. Keep it up!

Friendly and attentive service. Delicious and well presented food. Lovely ambience. Highly recommended.

We had dinner with 12 people at the turn of the year! The kitchen spoiled us in the best way! Compliment, especially since the restaurant was fully booked. The service is very good, attentive, friendly and helpful! Never intrusive! The Fasil is an enrichment for us in Solingen! Compliments to the team!!! Gerhard

This restaurant is a very quiet and a nice modern restaurant which I would recommend to everyone. Because it has really delicious food and as a starter there is salad. Let yourself be surprised by the dishes.

Very tasty food, generously designed, the music is a bit too loud, the service was very attentive

A great restaurant The food was very good Simply great

Very good food, very friendly and well-trained staff, rounded off by a fair price for the quality of the food.

We had a Christmas party here. It was a great evening. The food was fantastic!!!! The service was very, very friendly and accommodating. Thank you

Finally authentic Turkish food! Very nice service, food very tasty, atmosphere cozy, highly recommended!

We had our company's Christmas party there on a Friday. Service was completely fine for a Friday evening before Christmas. Friendly and polite. Drinks came quickly. Waiting time for food is completely acceptable considering the full store. Dry bread without dips was only served upon request. I don't know that. The price/performance ratio for the food is only partially correct. 29 euros for a grill plate with rice that was a far cry from Turkish rice. It's almost shameful what Turkish rice was served there. Was also communicated. Otherwise the food is pretty average. With the turnover at our table, we wouldn't even be offered tea or something similar on the house. You then had to ask several times. Then you were asked to vacate tables when you had finished drinking so that other guests who came without a reservation could get the tables. Not hospitable but simply sales oriented. Everyone has to know for themselves what they expect for their money.

The food was delicious, BUT unfortunately there wasn't enough on the plate for the price.

Great location, great food. Traditional food and drinks. Very friendly staff. Price-performance... top

This was my first time there, but it definitely wasn't the last time. The food was delicious, the service was perfect and everything in a stylish atmosphere.

Food is good - ambience too - service is very good and very friendly - prices are quite high

Certainly one of the best restaurants in Solingen

First of all, I am a regular customer. The store appears tidy, has an atmosphere and is very comfortable. Food selection extensive and fresh. Waiters friendly and forthcoming. There is a disabled toilet on the ground floor (walk with a walker). My dear friend, see you soon

Very nice staff, friendly, courteous and helpful The food was super delicious 😋 very nicely prepared Very nice and cozy restaurant you feel comfortable there

An authentic Turkish restaurant. Delicious food, nice staff. A welcoming atmosphere.

This restaurant is a great place to enjoy!

Very tasty food, courteous service and nice atmosphere 👍 ...only the noise level was a bit high...

I have been to the previous restaurant and the current one countless times, whether for lunch or dinner. Unfortunately, our experience last night was very unpleasant. As a family we had reserved for 16 people and came with 17. Unfortunately we had to move together and were not given an additional chair. Nobody was allowed to sit in front of the head. This was (for our standards) with a very stroppy and arrogant tone: “No, that’s not possible. “You have reserved for 16 people.” commented. The man (owner) of the waitress then apologized with free starters. She stopped apologizing for her behavior - No Go! Admittedly, I was in Fasil for a little longer. Some voices saying “It’s not the same anymore” have been confirmed. I was very surprised at the prices in Düsseldorf - €25 for Adana and only one meat skewer. Higher prices, less food - a shame. It was noticeable that some companies had a similar situation when it came to dividing the table into several tables. They didn't seem very happy either. More mass and less class.

We have eaten at Fasil several times and have always been satisfied. On my husband's birthday I ordered catering for 17 people worth €680 to be delivered to my home and unfortunately I wasn't satisfied. Lamb chops, salmon fillet, chicken stir fry, eggplant salad and lentil meatballs. When I asked for a price, I was only sent a price list and had to calculate the total price myself, and there was never an invoice. The salmon in the herb sauce was unfortunately a bit dry, but still tasty, but the cold dish (lentil meatballs) was unfortunately not freshly prepared. My guests and I (who I had given a bit of everything to) noticed this the next morning, as they were despite being stored in the fridge smelled strange and tasted just as strange. That doesn't work at all. Although I shared this as feedback (via Whatsapp, as was all the communication), I never received a response. No apology, nothing - even though I already announced that I had the next big celebration in a month and wanted to order there again. Of course I didn't do that! Too bad!

Whenever we are in Solingen, it is a must to stop at the Fasil restaurant. Everything is just right here: excellent cuisine and friendly service. We are already looking forward to the next time.

Attentive, friendly service, food excellently prepared, always with first-class ingredients.

Leider waren heute von der üppigen Mittagskarte einst nur noch 5 Gerichte zur Auswahl. Lediglich eines davon waren Köfte, der Rest eher gutbürgerliche Küche. Auf Nachfrage bekamen wir die Köfte mit den leckeren Kartoffelchips statt mit Kartoffelstampf? Preise gut erhöht, es war immer noch lecker. Leider kein Tee mehr aufs Haus angeboten. Schade schade um die eigentlich gute Küche. Machen erstmal FASIL Pause🙁

Very nice atmosphere and super friendly and great staff!!! The food is great!!! Thanks! We'd love to come back!

Our food was very tasty. You get extra salad with some dishes with a very tasty sauce. Super friendly service! Recommended👍

Super tasty. Very friendly. Always happy to come here.

Very friendly, attractive service staff, wonderfully tender sliced ​​lamb and a quiet table by the window. I liked it very much.

Essen wurde viel zu scharf serviert von 4 Mahlzeiten waren 3 sehr scharf in der Karte ist von scharf nichts zu lesen gewesen. Mehr als die Hälfte des Gerichts ist zurück gegangen. Uns wurde alles komplett berechnet. Auf Nachfrage warum alles berechnet wurde war die Antwort: Essen wurde ja auch zubereitet! Frechheit! Wir haben darauf aufmerksam gemacht dass es nicht unser Fehler ist wenn das Essen zu scharf ist und wieder kam ein das Essen wurde zubereitet! Einfach frech und beschämend. Dieser Laden ist für uns als Jahre lange Stammgäste nun Tabu

Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. I don't know of a better shop in Solingen.

Super nice and pleasant service, food and drinks prepared with love and all courses were excellent. Rarely have I had such a great evening. Thanks!

The waiters are completely incompetent. We were simply ignored and left sitting outside. We had a nice relaxed conversation behind the counter until we went in only to be told that the terrace and the kitchen were closed. The service is at best at pub level!!!

The food was very tasty, nice decor and very friendly staff. We go there more often now.

Friendly and professional staff team. Upscale ambience. The food was very tasty and beautifully prepared. Top 1a menu, weekly changing lunch menu. The senior citizen would love to come back.🙂👍 Thanks and greetings to the kitchen and service.

Restaurant was very good reset actually outside also the staff was very respectful the prices of drink were very very expensive to the restaurant like that best restaurant or Bar East situated in the central of City ‏very beautiful ذي اتموسفير اوف ريستورانتي نايس as staff member his name was sherco he was very good and very respectful the drinks was good drinking

Best service and really nice 😃😃😃

Here you get delicious food, excellent service and delicious cocktails. I always enjoy coming here.

We were at Fasil yesterday. We enjoyed the food very much. The atmosphere was also very inviting. The service was also very good. Top!

Delicious food, nice atmosphere

We've eaten here several times now and have never been disappointed. Food is super tasty, service is more than friendly. Great atmosphere and all in all one of our favorite restaurants 😊

## 5 stars ## Our food was visually well presented, valuable and very tasty. The service was very courteous and polite. The restaurant's interior is impressive. The only thing we would have liked was some flexibility when paying. Our total amount could not be divided by the number of people. On average, the cost per person is ~€45 for a starter, main course and drinks.

Sehr freundliche Bedienung. Sehr leckeres Essen. Vorspeise zu zweit reicht schon fast. Super leckeres Brot gibt es als Zugabe.

The food, the service, the ambience: everything was perfect. High quality Turkish cuisine, highly recommended for those who value quality and enjoyment

06/28/24 we had a delicious dinner. We highly recommend this restaurant to residents and guests of the city. Now it's always there!

Very good Turkish restaurant. Everything, i.e. Starters and main courses were excellent in terms of taste and appearance. An absolute recommendation

Food was very tasty. Service was great and the atmosphere was great, I didn't like the convenience.

A very nicely decorated restaurant. The staff was very friendly and attentive. All dishes were excellent. We ended our day of hiking in Solingen perfectly.

Too expensive and small portions not worth the money
