Gaststätte Haus Michels Café Side in Viersen

Ordered there for the first time and totally disappointed. We had kebab plate, Adana Dürum, shepherd's salad and Ezme. We are shocked by the food, we haven't eaten so badly in a long time. The kebab meat was gray, gristly and didn't smell good. Ezme also smelled funny and was not edible. The sauces didn't taste like anything. Dürüm was more of a limp wrap. The salad was somewhat edible, but it had nothing to do with a good Turkish shepherd's salad. Unfortunately it's really disappointing, we definitely won't be ordering there again and we're wondering where so many good reviews come from and whether it was just a bad day when we ordered.

We were there today for the first but definitely not the last time. We got the full number of stars. Very tasty food, nice landlady, nice chef, we were completely satisfied. It couldn't be better. Well-kept, clean restaurant. We're already looking forward to the next one Just.

Very friendly and welcoming team 💕🤌

Very low in spice The soup was catastrophic (water with noodles) I ordered ketchup and mayonnaise but didn't get it. No side salad. It's actually a shame I've had Turkish food before and it's much better

Delicious food at fair prices. Great give away before the meal, various little things with bread are served in advance as a “greeting from the kitchen”.

Four of us ate there today with Groupon vouchers and were very positively surprised. A nice restaurant, very clean, attentive service and a very, very tasty 4-course menu. We'll definitely be back!

This was our first time eating here, like many others, through Groupon. The food tasted good, everything was well seasoned. the dessert...well...as many have already reported...it was interesting in taste. Everything else was fine, the staff is friendly and it is nicely furnished. 😊The oriental lamps are particularly impressive. We will definitely come back again and try the à la card. There is certainly more. 😉

The food was really very good. It was fresh, tasty and the portions were completely sufficient even for good eaters. The service was very nice and the waiting time between the different courses was completely appropriate. We'd love to come back.

I really had a nice evening on Saturday, I was served very politely, the food was very tasty, I would recommend the grill plate to you

I had a very nice Saturday evening on April 27th, 2024 with my colleagues and ordered the grill plate for us, it was simply recommended, the food in general there is simply amazing, the service is great, I can only recommend it

Yesterday the four of us went to the restaurant to redeem Groupon vouchers. It was clear to the staff right from the start that they probably didn't like this. There is a special menu for Groupon customers, but unfortunately they couldn't explain to us why that was the case. When we arrived at the table, the first no go came. The cutlery was wrapped in plastic wrap. Unnecessary plastic waste!!!! Why do you have to pack washed and polished cutlery separately? The service was not only completely overwhelmed, it was also quite snappy. In my opinion, her constant justification that she was still new doesn't justify the fact that she forgot orders. I waited 20 minutes for a simple coffee with lots of milk, which was then placed on the table with a very decorative packet of condensed milk from Aldi. They didn't even bother to pour the milk into a jug or something similar. After the meal, which wasn't really hot, dessert came. When we asked whether we could exchange the raki specified in the Groupon for a portion of baklava for the child in our group, the waitress told us quite snappily that there had been no raki for a long time. Even after we showed the lady the coupon, which clearly stated that there was one raki per person, we received specious explanations that this should be changed, but Groupon probably won't do that. No apology. Just unfriendly, snappy explanations. The next chaos came at the checkout. First we had to go to the counter to pay, which I find very strange in a good restaurant and then the lady didn't know how to collect the money. Someone had to come and do it for them first and paying by card also seemed to be a problem. The food was ok, even if the dishes were not all homemade and freshly prepared as promised. The service was not good, although I have to say that the younger of the two conditions was very friendly and helpful. I come from the catering industry myself and know that it is not easy. But a guest should never notice that you are annoyed or that something is not working behind the scenes.

We were there with 4 people and had enjoyment points. So we took the offer of a 2x4 course menu for €34.90 instead of €69.90. We were allowed to choose the main course, soup came first, which we enjoyed very much. Then a mixed starter platter followed. There were only 5 small rolls, 4 dips and a small bowl of baked goods for 4 people. We definitely imagined something better from a mixed record. Main course followed and dessert was a loveless glass full of semolina. Service was friendly and we really liked the ambience. However, we were very disappointed with the food. The voucher book is there to attract new guests, but unfortunately not like that. Very unfortunate.

Very nice staff and very good food. I can only recommend it, top quality 👌

Very tasty food, unfortunately everything was a bit slow. You should bring time. Otherwise very 😋

Delicious. Not much to say, it was just an absolutely positive surprise.

Unfortunately disappointed, some of the food was lukewarm, we waited a long time for the food. There was very little on the plate, a grill plate for 18 euros is not possible. The salad was a joke, seen in the photos. The soup is awesome, I've never had it with overcooked noodles. You don't have to come back. There were enough staff, but no one knew what to do. I also understand that waiting a long time for food means selling a lot of drinks. But that can't always work out well in a small town.

Stayed at Haus Michels today with a voucher from Groupon for four people. There was a four-course menu consisting of a vegetable soup (very tasty), a starter platter (also very tasty), a main course (there is an extra menu for guests with a voucher) and a dessert (yoghurt in our case). All in all, the portions are well balanced so that you definitely won't go home hungry at the end. The main course was shrimp pan (which was very tasty) and the mixed grill plate. Unfortunately I have to say, I expected more from the grill plate. It tasted good, but unfortunately not the taste explosion that I know from other Turkish restaurants (or from Turkey itself). The ambience is simply described, “pub charm”, you can do more with it. All in all, it was a nice evening with good food.

Very nice service, child friendly, what more could you want!!

Courteous service for fresh, good food..

The performance has decreased significantly. Before cora the food was tastier and richer. Food was cold

The food was okay, even if only baguette was served instead of flatbread. The starter platter was a bit poor - it lacked the typical Turkish flavor and had a bit of a whistle. The main course was delicious. Dessert was yoghurt from the discount store with coconut flakes.

I was very happy with everything. A nice atmosphere and polite service

Everything perfect! I would love to give it 10 stars! 😊 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We drove 30 minutes there and it was really worth it! Incredibly delicious food, really nice and friendly owners and really comfortably furnished. Time flew by here. We felt really comfortable and will definitely come back. I can recommend it from the bottom of my heart and thank you for this incredibly beautiful evening with such incredibly delicious food.

If you want to get really good food at a very fair price, this is the place for you. I can only recommend!

We ordered the 4-course menu using a voucher book. We were allowed to choose the main course from a special voucher card. The soup tasted delicious, the starter platter was a bit poor, unfortunately the baguette was really cheap, but the rotisserie meat was very tasty gratinated. The main course was okay in size and the quality was also quite ok. But you can tell that you came here with a voucher; otherwise the portion would have been a little larger. And unfortunately we had to wait 30 minutes for our dessert only to realize that it was probably a ready-made pudding that was covered with coconut flakes. Conclusion: It was ok for the price, but I still imagined it would be better.

We had dinner at Side for the first time today. We used the enjoyment points voucher. The entire menu, starting with the very tasty soup, the starter variation, our main courses and the dessert...everything was super tasty and hot. The service was very good but not intrusive. We'll definitely be back.

Ended up here via social deal. Easy to find and plenty of parking. The host seems to be very shy. We didn't have to wait long for the starter or the main course. The food was delicious and freshly prepared. It was so much that we couldn't finish any dessert.

Ich kann diesen Laden niemandem empfehlen, besonders wenn man einen SocialDeal Gutschein erworben hat. Die Preise die über SocialDeal angeboten werden sind überteuert. Frühstück wird bei SocialDeal statt 19,90€ für 12,90€ angeboten. Auf der Facebook Seite und auch an der Tür wird das Frühstück mit 9,90€ geworben. Wir wollten unser SocialDeal Gutschein einlösen also haben wir einen online Termin gebucht. Dieser wurde uns am selben morgen Coronabedingt (verständlich und vernünftig) abgesagt. Alternativ bot man uns einen Samstag oder Sonntag an. Also sind wir Samstags hin und wir standen vor verschlossenen Türen. Als wir über SocialDeal die Erstattung der Voucher angefordert haben, behauptet der Besitzer wir wären Sonntags dort gewesen und hätten die Gutscheine eingelöst, was gar nicht möglich ist da ich Sonntags beruflich im Dienst war. Wenn man sich die Rezensionen anschaut, scheint es bereits solche Probleme gegeben zu haben. Scheint eine Masche zu sein. Also ACHTUNG und VORSICHT!!

Nice restaurant, friendly service, good food.

Sehr lecker und authentisch türkisch. Danke

Frisch zubereitetes sehr leckeres Essen mit nettem aufmerksamem Service. Absolut zu empfehlen.

Tolles Haus.. sehr leckeres Essen... bin sehr begeistert auch der Service war toll. Komme gerne wieder.

Ich habe das Restaurant aus Groupon entdeckt. Es ist wirklich weiter zu empfehlen 👍🏼 Das Essen war frisch und sehr lecker, tolle orientalische Ambiente und sehr nette Bedienung. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt, mit Sicherheit werde ich/wir öfters dahingehen. Es gibt auch jede Menge Parkmöglichkeiten direkt auf der Straße.

Wir sind durch Social Deal hier gelandet. Wir waren sehr angenehm überrascht von der Gastfreundschaft und den leckeren Speisen. Hier waren wir nicht das letzte Mal.

Alles stehts frisch und sehr lecker. Bedienung top, alle Bediener einschliesslich Chef! Wir sind gerne dort. Super moderate, Preise und alles sehr lecker und frisch zubereitet. Es ist ein Geheimtipp.

Heerlijk gegeten heel vriendelijke bediening en niet duur

Nettes Personal, das Essen ist sehr lecker

Einfach ein so tolles Frühstück , sehr lecker alle super lieb dort . Wir können es nur weiter empfehlen ob Frühstück oder Abendessen einfach klasse . Macht weiter so

Sehr lecker und man fühlt sich von Anfang bis Ende gut aufgehoben

Das Essen war sehr, sehr lecker und die Bedienung war sehr freundlich! Nur zu empfehlen!!!

Lecker gegessen freundliche Mitarbeiter

Netter Wirt mit lecker Essen. Hxl

Bedienung 5/5, Essen 5/5 alles top! Vielen Dank!

Essen war lecker 😋 Personal war sehr freundlich

Waren auf Empfehlung dort. Normale Ausstattung nett und sauber. Grill Teller war Butter weiches Fleisch. Lammleder mit Zwiebel und Peperoni war super lecker. Vorspeise umsonst mit Fleisch und Brot und Dips ein Gaumen Genuß. Preis Leistung total okay. Pommes nach meinem Geschmack sehr gut ( etwas mehr wäre schön gewesen da die Portion für Leute mit Hunger zu klein wäre) ansonsten absolut zu empfehlen. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wieder dort zu Tisch gehen!

Sehr gutes Essen und nettes Personal. Man sollte nur sehr viel Zeit mitbringen

Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit unserem 4 Gänge Menü. Der Service und die Speisen haben uns überzeugt,so daß wir noch einmal wiederkommen.

Sehr gastfreundlich empfangen worden, bekamen eine kostenlose Vorspeise seitens des Wirtes gebracht, die einer Hauptspeise nicht nach stand. Auch die von uns bestellten Speisen waren top! Wir kommen definitiv wieder.

Sehr leckeres und frisch zubereitetes Essen, zuvorkommendes Team, werden wir auf jeden Fall wiederholen.

Besucht, wie viele andere auch, mit einem Gutschein. Waren vor 7 Jahren schon mal dort und würden wieder nicht enttäuscht. Die Speisen waren schnell an den Tisch gebracht, als Vorspeise gab es Suppe. Kleine Platte mit Cremes und einer Portion Fleisch vom Spieß dazu, hier kann man noch etwas ausbauen wie ich finde. Die Hauptspeisen, auswählbar aus einer seperaten Speisekarte für Gutschein Besitzer, waren wunderbar und mächtig. MN wurde gut satt. Leider war es im Lokal recht frisch, hier wurde an der Heizung gespart. Also besser nicht zu dünn anziehen. Ansonsten empfehlenswert

Auch ohne Social Deal eine Einkehr wert

Habe mir was besseres erwartet. Von der Speisekarte gab es vieles um 19h nicht. Simple Folienkartoffel nicht mehr zu bekommen. Sehr laut.

Bedienung OK. Das Essen hat uns leider,bis auf die Pommes, gar nicht geschmeckt. Kaum Geschmack und nicht schön angerichtet. Besteck und Geschirr waren auch nicht sehr sauber.

Wir haben den Tipp aus dem Gutscheinbuch - und ich muss sagen: Es ist ein Volltreffer. Wir hatten das 4 Gänge Menü (freie Wahl des Hauptgericht) und es war wirklich Hervorragend. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und die Atmosphäre im Laden ist schön- Mir und meiner Frau hat die Deko auch sehr gut gefallen. Für uns ein neues Highlight im Bereich türkisch/arabische Küche. wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen. Danke für den Schönen Abend
