House of Çigköfte in Essen

I got a wrap earlier. Very nice owner and a small but lovely shop ☺️ The wrap was delicious and fresh. Excellent value for money.

I pre-ordered a party set and everything went smoothly. The order was superbly prepared, beautifully and carefully packaged, and tasted absolutely fantastic. Everything was fresh and delicious. Thank you so much for the great service; I'll definitely be back!

Very welcoming and super fresh food! We'll definitely be back!

Best çiğ köfte, very delicious, fresh, unforgettable.

Fantastic place and highly recommended! I go here regularly – the çiğ köfte, whether as a meal with salad and bread or in a lahmacun, is truly outstanding. Everything is always fresh, perfectly seasoned, and prepared with love. The owner is incredibly kind and friendly. I always enjoy going there.

Delicious çigköfte! I would go there again.

A super lovely family-run business, they cook and serve with heart ❤️ My favorite is the #22 vegan falafel and cigköfte wrap – it doesn't get much more flavorful than this! I'm so glad I discovered this place 🫶

Best shop / Best service / I highly recommend it

Delicious, super friendly. Highly recommended. #madewithlove

The most delicious Çigköfte I have ever eaten

Excellent food. Friendly people with good service.

Super good and delicious shop. Highly recommended, and above all, vegan!

It was incredibly delicious, and the people were super friendly. We ate there several times during our stay in Essen.

Super friendly, delicious, and reasonably priced. A friendly little shop!

Super fresh, delicious, and made with love :) The lentil soup was truly 10/10!

I had the lentil soup and a çigkofte wrap here for the second time today. It was super delicious and the service was very friendly. I highly recommend it. Thank you, and see you next time 😊

Not even a vegan and was actually looking for a Kebab, but the vegan wrap I had was super delicious! Maybe I will eat less meat from now on 😉

The food arrived super quickly and was so delicious! The owners are really nice ;) Highly recommended!!! Pure enjoyment!

Snack bar. Super nice owner. Cigkofte and Turkish snacks are delicious. It's worth it!

super tasty, good vegan selection and very friendly 😀

Really good food with a lot of heart, there’s no other way to say it!

We were guided by the positive reviews and were not disappointed. It was delicious. The owners were also incredibly friendly, and we were even shown the traditional way of preparing cigköfte while we ate. If we're ever in Essen again, we'll be back!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The House of Çiğköfte on Rüttenscheider Straße is a real insider tip for anyone who loves fresh, authentic, and above all, vegetarian Turkish specialties 🌯🌿. As soon as you enter, you realize: This isn't about run-of-the-mill fast food, but rather genuine craftsmanship with a lot of passion. The highlight, of course, is the Çiğköfte 🥙 – spicy, fresh, and perfectly balanced. Whether rolled in a classic wrap with crisp lettuce 🥗, fresh mint 🌱, lemon 🍋, and delicious sauces, or as a portion to take home – it's simply delicious. What's especially great: Everything is vegetarian, healthy, and yet incredibly flavorful. The selection of extras and side dishes makes the visit even more exciting. You can customize your wraps and always get something fresh that immediately whets your appetite 😋. Matching drinks like ayran 🥛 or fresh juices are available. The team is friendly, quick, and happy to explain things to you if you're trying Çiğköfte for the first time. The portions are generous, the prices are absolutely fair 💯, and the whole thing is perfect for a quick snack or a light lunch. In conclusion: The House of Çiğköfte brings a taste of Turkey to Essen – fresh, delicious, healthy, and with excellent service. For me, it's without a doubt 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 and a clear recommendation for anyone looking to try something new.

Very, very tasty cigköfte, it's been a long time since they tasted this good. I'd gladly order again. The price is also quite good. I had menu item number 9.

Good cigköfte. The price is just about right. Side dishes (salad, etc.) could be 30-50% more, though. For example, some items are only enough for two wraps instead of four for the 500g meal. Cigköfte dürum could easily be better if the cigköfte were distributed more evenly. As it is, it doesn't taste as good because of the distribution.

I was there with my friends, and the staff were so sweet and friendly. They welcomed us so warmly. The cigköfte tasted so good! 10/10. We'll definitely be back ❤️❤️

We ordered cigköfte as a midnight snack for our wedding. It was simply outstanding. It was delivered on time, and the owners are incredibly sweet and kind people. We were served several platters of cigköfte, salad, lemons, parsley, mint, pomegranate syrup, and lava bread. It was incredibly delicious and more than enough to last us the next day. Thank you so much!

We eat here often as a team. It's super delicious and very family-friendly. Even for people like us who usually only get their fill of meat! Please keep it up :)

This is the tastiest cigköfte in Essen. We love ordering from you.

I've never eaten such delicious cigköfte! The service and the waitresses were also excellent and very friendly. The atmosphere is fantastic; I'll definitely eat there more often 🤌🏻🤌🏻

I can't recommend the mixed plate (consisting of 5 cigköfte, 5 hot falafel, 2 lemon slices, and 2 mini tubs of pomegranate syrup = €13.50!!!) at all: Cigköfte is traditionally eaten wrapped in a lettuce leaf, drizzled with lemon and sauce. There's nothing there, just the dry ingredients! I've never been served cigköfte without a lettuce leaf and parsley, etc. That's what makes the dish special! When I asked, I was told it was a "quick meal," but the main goal of a meal should be flavor, not to leave half out. In any case, I can only recommend not eating cigköfte or falafel dry on their own, but always with some fresh greens and, ideally, a piece of lavash/bread. Given the hefty price of €13.50 under the "Menu" heading, I assumed that at least the cigköfte would be served on 2-3 lettuce leaves.

I'm absolutely thrilled with this place! The cigköfte are incredibly fresh and flavorful, just as they should be – perfectly seasoned and prepared with love. The lahmacun is crispy, well-topped, and has an authentic flavor you rarely find. And the falafel? Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside – simply heavenly! What really makes this place special, though, is the staff. An incredibly warm and friendly lady who takes her time with each guest, serves with a smile, and simply creates a wonderful atmosphere. You immediately feel welcome and in good hands. Everything is just perfect here – taste, quality, price, and above all, the service. I'll definitely be back! 🧡

A huge compliment to the two of them, who run their small business with so much love and passion. They always give you a warm welcome, and hospitality is a top priority! The food is fantastic, fresh, and delicious, made with love. Even for larger events, they leave nothing to be desired. The pictures speak for themselves! You're amazing 🫶🏼

My favorite shop for cigarettes in Essen!

Very tasty food and friendly owner!

Very tasty and the owners are very nice ❤️

Nice service, but cigköfte won't be my favorite dish

You are always greeted very friendly here. The food is also incredibly tasty, really fresh and well seasoned! I can recommend it to everyone ❤️

Excellent food and incredibly warm service!! 6 out of five!

The service is great and very friendly and accommodating. The food is extremely delicious, it feels like an explosion of freshness and flavor. On top of that, a good price/performance ratio. Recommendation definitely goes out.

So, first of all, incredibly delicious Cigköfte. Then totally likeable people. I felt like I was in Turkey, delicious food and friendly people and a good mood. The next time I'm in Essen, I'll come back here. And of course also brought something to take home with you.

Very, very tasty like at home 😋

So I was there for the first time and I was very enthusiastic on my own, very friendly and I ordered number 22 and it was very tasty so I will definitely go there again and order and try something else. The service and both owners were very friendly and accommodating, I was allowed to try something on my own which was very tasty 😀👍🏼 I can only recommend going there when you are in Essen Rüttenscheid.

Incredibly delicious vegan lahmacun with cig kofta. Operator very nice

Great service, very friendly. Best lentil soup I've had in a long time. Everything freshly made.

Very good soup and cigköfte top, homemade and very tasty. Only recommended

Super friendly, warm owners and best cigköfte wrap ever!! Spicy, sweet and sour, you have to try it! Great meatless alternative to the well-known kebab. Highly recommended, price performance is really okay for the “expensive” Rü.

Super delicious food. Very nice service. Parking possible on the side streets. No toilet available!

Impressive cigkofte, served fresh, but you stay for the service. Totally recommended!

Great Cig Köfte, great owner. Simply amazing!!!

The food in Cigköfte tastes really good and the staff is very friendly and generous♥️. I am deaf, but communication with the employees always works well. I've tried other places that aren't as tasty as (House of Çigköfte) so I always order them there. I go there almost always 1 to 3 times a week and order. greeting from the deaf🙌🏽

Unfortunately our visit was disappointing. The Cigköfte tasted ok (my girlfriend didn't like them), although WAY too little for the price of 6 euros, but the perceived false friendliness and the unpleasant discussion about the NeoTaste prices severely spoiled the experience. What was particularly unpleasant was that because of my hearing impairment, which I pointed out, I had the feeling of being considered ‘stupid’ (“can you hear me?”). An offer of tea at the end and exuberant farewells couldn't make up for it.

super tasty and super nice owners! <3

Best service and BEST food. I can eat it every day.

Lots of delicious vegan options and very friendly service! ;)

I rarely write reviews. But I have to give full stars here. Very nice staff and also the best Cigköfte I have ever eaten in Germany. We chose menu 5 and 10 and were completely satisfied. For the price you can't always talk about such good food these days. We'll definitely be back. 👍🏽

We were really pleasantly surprised that all the dishes were vegetarian/vegan, as you couldn't tell from the outside of the shop. We had incredibly delicious vegan lahmacun with cigköfte - even the non-vegetarians were thrilled. The family that runs the shop is really very welcoming and was very happy about our positive feedback on the food. We felt very comfortable and welcome! It is definitely a big recommendation, both for takeaway and for eating on site. We come back regularly!

Very good food and friendly, courteous staff I'd love to come back

The first order but not the last. Nice supplier, a very nice gesture with the hearts on the partner menu ❤️ and then it was super tasty too!

Very very tasty! & nice service

Always my pleasure! Very friendly owners.

Cigköfte and baklava very tasty. Owners were super friendly to us. We'll definitely be back!

Very tasty, fresh, top recommendation (No. 22;-)), great advice

Very very nice service and the best cigköfte wraps!!!

Everything is 10/10 better, it couldn't be nicer or tastier. just wow

Soooo nice and courteous people… Delicious food and great to sit 😍

Super tasty, beautifully fresh and homemade. The service is also super nice. The only thing that is a bit inconvenient is that payment is only possible in cash. But if we have cash with us, we'll happily come back. 💚

Best Cigköfte I've eaten so far, super nice service

Big thanks from Texas for a wonderful food and atmosphere!

A little expensive but also extremely tasty!

I was spontaneously in this restaurant yesterday From start to finish you are greeted and farewelled with incredible friendliness The lady and the gentleman also know how good food should taste and it shows. Absolute insider tip Absolutely good food

Very warm, very tasty, made with a lot of love. Thank you from the Berlin trade fair team!

Always very tasty and super sweet!

Super tasty and always fresh! Today I ordered 'Vegan Lahmacun' for the first time and it tastes fantastic. Everything is fresh and delivered quickly. I can't say anything about the ambience because I've only ordered so far, but the packaging is always so cutely painted and labeled that it gets 5*. THANKS :)

Best Çigköfte in the whole city!

The best Cigofte store in all of North Rhine-Westphalia! I only order Cigöfte from this store! 100% recommended!!

Small but nice shop. Lots of good Çigköfte and falafels and the employees have always been nice and funny.

The lahmacun with falafel was delicious! But above all I was overwhelmed by the friendliness of the operators. I was invited for tea, was allowed to try cigköfte (very tasty!), was given baklava and had a very nice chat. Thank you very much, I'll definitely be back!

The delivery is fast and really fresh :) We order regularly and can only recommend it. Always tastes great, the salad provided is fresh and everything is already cut, just get it ready and enjoy

Very tasty fresh food and super great service! People were very friendly and received excellent service. We'd love to come again to celebrate ;)

Excellent and price-effective small place to stop by for a quick and delicious lunch. Lovely staff making a lovely selection of Çigköfte, Falafel, Lahmacun and Soup. Make sure to bring cash as direct card payments are not accepted. Hot tea available.

Nice service, food was great Recommended!!!

Cigköfte were very tasty and freshly prepared. I particularly noticed it with the salad; I've already eaten it in various shops. The salad was a bit rotten in some places. A spontaneous visit that was really worth it! The messages, formulated very lovingly and individually - very nice and unique idea 👍🏽☺️ The owner - a very nice, courteous person.

Haven't received such a great Cig Köfte package in all of Essen. It was really very tasty. The owners are very friendly. The only thing that doesn't invite you to eat there is the atmosphere in the store. I will definitely come back or order again. Thank you!

Super tasty, super friendly! Even vegan lahmacun is offered :)

I only have two reference points so far, as I rarely go to vegan places, but the quality of the ingredients stands out from the other Çığköfte places I know personally. Since I live next door, I've been here several times over the last 18 months; the ingredients are consistently fresh and high quality, the atmosphere is very pleasant and the family behind this business is friendly and charismatic - after relatively few visits you feel like a valued regular customer. I can only recommend everyone to give this welcoming family business a chance.

He's a vegan so he doesn't have much that I like, but he's great!

Very tasty, great people, we enjoyed it! :D

Great team, great food. You will see me regularly!

Great food and service! Very warm atmosphere. If you are looking for good vegetarian or vegan food, a big recommendation!!

Sehr nettes Personal. Cigköfte schön frisch und lecker 👌🏼👌🏼

Sehr lecker! Wir waren vorhin spontan in diesem Laden und sind echt positiv überrascht! Beide Mitarbeiter/Chefs waren super freundlich, der Salat wurde frisch geschnitten und war knackig, die Cigköfte waren geschmacklich sehr gut! Wir waren sehr zufrieden und kommen gerne wieder :)

Wir waren das erste mal da und sind sehr begeistert. Das Personal ist super freundlich und man fühlt sich sofort wohl. Das Essen ist sehr lecker und schnell zubereitet. Absolute Empfehlung!

Absolute Empfehlung!!! Megaaaaaa lecker 😋 Geschmack, würze, Schärfe einfach perfekt. Die Inhaberin ist super lieb, man fühlt sich sofort willkommen. Ich kann es nur vom Herzen weiterempfehlen. Definitiv ein Besuch wert.

Sehr zu empfehlen! Wir haben schon öfter bestellt (Lieferung & Abholung) und sind sehr zufrieden. Es sind die besten Cigköfte, die wir bisher gegessen haben. Der beiliegende Salat ist auch immer sehr frisch und auch die Sushi Cigköfte sind ein Highlight. Die Besitzer des Ladens sind auch sehr nett. Besonders schön finde ich dass eigtl. immer eine kleine kreative Botschaft mit zur Bestellung gehört (von Guten Appetit, Halloweenbemalung, bis zu Weihnachtsgrüßen,...) Das kennt man sonst eigtl. nirgendwo. Danke! :)

Der Cigköfte Laden ist einfach großartig! Die Cigköfte hier schmecken fantastisch und sind immer frisch zubereitet. Die Besitzer sind stets freundlich und aufmerksam, was den Besuch zu einem rundum angenehmen Erlebnis macht. Ich komme immer wieder gerne hierher und kann diesen Laden nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen!

Die Besitzer sind stets super freundlich und das Çiğköfte dort ist frisch zubereitet und super lecker. Die Einrichtung ist ziemlich kreativ gestaltet worden. Kann ich nur immer wieder weiterempfehlen.

Wollte schon ewig dort hin. Ich war gestern Abend dort und es hat sich mehr als gelohnt :) Das Essen war top, super schön angerichtet und auch der Service hat gestimmt. Ich werde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.

Wir haben abgeholt.Besitzerin super nett. Das Essen war wie immer super und zu Halloween nochmal besonders liebevoll eingepackt!

Super liebe Familie und super leckeres Essen. Alles mit viel Liebe gestaltet.
