Ihtiyar Balıkçı in Duisburg

Food was good, just no side dishes with the fish. Salad too expensive, drinks too expensive. No card payment!! no receipt. I don't want to assume anything...

Delicious food, very nice staff and large portions.

I can recommend it to everyone!

Everything ordered quickly and well prepared over the phone. Delicious fish varieties to choose from.

A must-visit place for fresh fish. Even though it is very crowded, the service is outstanding! I recommend

One of the best experiences is this restaurant The food is literally amazing and there is no mistake..the workers are very friendly and always around you...it deserves more than 5 stars🤗

Fish always fresh salad we also go every week for two years once in the evening we have to reserve a table staff always help after dinner Krueger they have delicious tea only with parking there are some problems best fish restaurant

Great restaurant! Above all, the employees are very friendly and helpful. They work very cleanly. The food was also very tasty. We were very satisfied. A really recommended restaurant.

Ihtiyar Balikçi in Duisburg – A feast in a class of its own If there were more than five stars, Ihtiyar Balikçi would definitely deserve them! We celebrated our wedding there and it was just perfect. The service was outstanding – attentive, quick and professional. Without even having to give a signal, someone was always there to fulfill wishes. Every single guest from our 30-strong group was well looked after. And the food? A dream! The fish was of the highest quality, freshly prepared and incredibly tasty. But the absolute highlight was the shrimp! Whether in the hot sauce or in the milder version - they were cooked to perfection and simply heavenly. A taste experience that you won't soon forget! The best thing about it: the price-performance ratio is unbeatable! For such excellent quality, one would have expected a significantly higher price. All guests were enthusiastic and there was not a single negative feedback - that speaks for itself! If you love fish and value first-class service, you shouldn't miss Ihtiyar Balikçi in Duisburg.

I don't understand... It's a place I happily go to even though I don't like fish.

Food was very tasty! Strangely enough, at the end it was claimed that there was no tea (??). Unfortunately, it wasn't very professional from an organizational point of view. Reserved a month ago for a larger group, asked to keep something free in the small room. At first you couldn't promise what was okay. I asked again the day before, no problem, it would work. Arrived on the planned day, queue at the entrance, small room was already occupied (they just had to keep it free, but they probably didn't want to miss a single customer), other guests had to be moved for us inside...just pure chaos. Apparently some of the staff unknowingly accepted additional reservations that morning. Internal communication?? The urgent recommendation here would be to welcome a few fewer customers, but to give people a pleasant evening and to say goodbye to them with satisfaction.

Food was great, service was just as good, gladly again

Very fresh and delicious fish, service and atmosphere are very nice. We had a great time with the friendly and caring staff. Thanks.

One of the best seafood restaurants I've been to in recent years. Service is perhaps the best I have ever experienced in a restaurant. Great employees. Prices a bit high but I would still recommend everyone to eat there Gladly again

I brought my guests from France. They were very pleased, thank you

Yes, the food tastes very tasty. The employees are very friendly. Unfortunately little or no parking spaces.

An absolutely amazing place! The fish are incredibly tasty and of the highest quality - everything is freshly prepared. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive, which makes the visit a special experience. I am truly overwhelmed by the excellent atmosphere and service. Everything is also spotlessly clean, which is a big plus for me. I can recommend İhtiyar Balıkçı to anyone who loves fish and values ​​quality and hospitality. Simply fantastic!

The prices are not exorbitant either. The trip from Cologne to Duisburg was worth it. Something completely different. Thank you.

It was very tasty...you should eat fish there...nice reception..

I deleted my 5 star review that I wrote a year ago. We were there today with a reservation, 7 people + 2 small children. The food was delicious, as always also came relatively quickly, the store was very full! People without reservations stood in line. and now we come to the topic, what actually (I emphasize ACTUALLY) of course in a restaurant, no matter how crowded it is: We asked the waitress for 5 tea while clearing the plates, and she then told us, in the original tone: “We turned off tea because it’s so crowded right now” OK ? 10 minutes for a tea should probably still be possible with such a high bill! I don't care how full the store is, should people make reservations or just wait 10 minutes longer! Honestly, that's not possible at all after eating you get the feeling of being unwanted!!! Next time we'll go somewhere else for our birthday dinner. 3 stars because I'm fair and the food tastes good, otherwise it would definitely only be 1 star.

Very tasty and fresh, recommended for everyone.

Everything very fresh & super nice service 👌🏼 Have been here very often and have never been disappointed. Recommended!!!

Great in terms of taste and price. The negative thing is that they don't offer card payment, which is incomprehensible in the current times. In addition, the waiters should be a little more careful, as some requests are not taken into account.

We visit the restaurant as a family almost every month. The food is good and fresh, and the selection is perfectly fine. However, there are some disadvantages: the waiters often give the feeling that you should vacate the place quickly, even if you have reserved a group of six people and are prepared to spend the money accordingly. Another point is that prices are unfortunately constantly rising, which is why we are now reducing our visits to every two to three months. In addition, parking options are very limited.

Good food, nice service, reasonable prices! We'd love to come back!

Food was great. What was sad, however, was that it was so full that we couldn't get the mixed fish platter or we would have to wait a long time for it. Otherwise service top, food top. I didn't find the ambience very nice, as it was taken over from a former pub. Unfortunately, the customers sat too close together for that. If there were 2 tables less, there would be a more positive atmosphere.

Super I recommend it to everyone

So far everything is good, but card payment is not possible. You are forced to pay in CASH. Hence the point deduction. Something questionable.

Fish was tasty but the staff wasn't nice, with 9 people at the table after eating we couldn't have a final tea because we were asked to leave the shop even though a colleague at the table was still eating.

Quality and taste speak for themselves, we can only recommend it. The service is perfect

Ambience, but that doesn't matter because the fish is prepared very tasty and the price/performance ratio is great!

Everything is great, but considering the prices charged for those drinks, there is no such thing as opportunism. It's a shame, 0.33l drinks are 3.20€

I didn't like the balil cotba and calamari. Grilled fish is nice. Jumbo shrimp casserole is also nice.

Salmon fillet with fried potatoes, wow...

Wonderful I have to say that it was the best restaurant of fish

We spent my mother's birthday in this restaurant, but unfortunately it wasn't a good experience. While eating, I found a hair in my dish - and since I'm a redhead, it obviously wasn't mine. I showed this to the friendly waiter who apologized and reported it to the boss. But instead of an apology, the boss made a snarky comment that the hair couldn't have come from the staff because no one was blonde. Ironically, the boss himself is light-haired, and shortly afterwards a blonde waitress walked out of the kitchen. Very confusing. In the end, I didn’t care where the hair came from – things like that can happen. But I would have liked an apology instead of a dismissive reaction. We asked to be given a new dish as the hair was in the middle of the meal. The boss took the plate without a word and disappeared. The new plate arrived relatively quickly and the food was delicious, but the situation had already put a damper on the evening. Kudos to the waiter with glasses who took great care of us, even though another waitress was actually responsible for our table. We were really grateful for him! However, the rest of the staff seemed cold and distant. As a customer you felt more like a burden. What further disappointed us was that at the end the guests here usually get cay and dessert - for us that was simply left out. It's a shame, because overall we were looking forward to a nice evening, but it was marred by unpleasant events.

We came for the first time, it was a very nice place, we waited for half an hour because it was a weekend, which is normal, the service was a little late due to the busyness, and I consider this to be normal. Mr. Ufuk, who takes care of us, is someone who really does his job carefully and has good communication with the customers. Thank you for your interest… The food was also very delicious. I can recommend the sea bass and sea bream as fish. The appetizers were also very satisfying, and the salad was prepared with care and was eye-pleasing. Other employees did their jobs devotedly and helped in every aspect. Thank you and I wish you good luck.

We went there on a recommendation.

The tastiest shrimp I've ever eaten! Incredibly good, you have to try it! And then also very cheap.

Fantastic, fresh fish, great starters (shrimp) and crispy fresh salad! Only recommended! It's actually a bit loud so it's a little difficult to have a conversation, but otherwise it's actually 6 out of 5 stars!

Unfortunately I only give one star Damir 3 € for the additional lemons how am I supposed to eat fish without... and no payment with card possible that says it all

We've been there 4 times and every time the food is absolutely delicious. Employees are friendly and helpful.

The tastiest and best fish restaurant in the area!!! We've been going here for 12 years and it's our favorite restaurant! The food is very tasty and the service is very nice and quick. You are served and advised quickly and after your meal you don't get a delicious chai and dessert that's on the house! You won't regret a visit!

Very very tasty, we ordered grilled fish, tzatziki and rice and salad, I recommend it, all the products are very fresh and tasty and fast

A friend with glasses, a friendly service and a legendary taste.

Ihtiyar Balıkçı is a fantastic place for fresh seafood. The food was first class, especially the fish platter and the grilled shrimp were impressive. The ambience is cozy, if a bit noisy, but overall pleasant. The service was friendly, although it was a little slower when it was busy. Overall a great experience - I'll definitely be back!

Very tasty food and attentive service. The only criticism is that it gets a bit noisy when all the tables are occupied. You hardly understand the other person. Still great store!

Beautiful restaurant. We ordered 2 types of fish and shrimp. I have never eaten fried fish so good and delicious. Staff super fast, pay attention to every request. For me it's simply 10 out of 10. I would like to come back several more times. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Mullet very tasty. Salad delicious, shrimp delicious. Unfortunately, anchovies were under fire for too long for the second time and were slightly burnt, hence only 4 stars.

Delicious fish. I will visit them more often..

Very good fish restaurant based on the concept of Turkish grills. Very beautiful fish and ultra fresh salads!

Very tasty food and great service.

Simply great, it tastes amazing, the service is very attentive and courteous, I've been there many times and I've gone home satisfied every time. I can only recommend it to others with a clear conscience.

Very attentive staff. We had the mixed fish platter and prawns. Fish platter mostly fried. Not quite our expectation of fish as it isn't mentioned on the menu. Generous portions. Was worth an experience.

The food was very tasty and fresh.

Ihtiyar Balıkçı in Duisburg offers an unparalleled culinary experience for lovers of fine Turkish cuisine, especially fish dishes. Our visit began with a starter plate that offered a successful composition of various traditional delicacies. Each component was carefully prepared and showcased the diversity and finesse of Turkish cuisine. Particularly noteworthy are the hamsi, which were fried to perfection - crispy on the outside, tender on the inside - and impressed with their fresh note. Another highlight was the chilli prawns. The balance between the pleasant spiciness and tender flesh of the prawns was excellent, and the flavors developed impressively with each bite. We were served crispy fries, which turned out to be an ideal side dish. The ambience of the restaurant reflects a welcoming and stylish atmosphere that gives the feeling of dining in an upscale establishment without having to forego a relaxed, feel-good atmosphere. The service was attentive and friendly, with the staff impressing with their expertise and warmth. Overall, our visit to Ihtiyar Balıkçı was a culinary delight at the highest level. A clear recommendation for everyone who values ​​excellent fish dishes and Turkish hospitality.

It no longer has the charm it once did, it is normal for prices to increase, but it is not normal for portions to decrease. Staff are always nice and friendly

The service is really good All products are fresh They taste very nice Thank you very much for the service you provided :))))

The food was OK, but not recommended as a family. My son ordered a fish fillet menu even though they didn't have any fillets left, without saying anything else. Way too overpriced for the service and waiting time, that was the first time and the last time I'll eat there, with a 1 hour waiting time on top of that.

The address of taste, service and quality. My children love the Old Fisherman very much.

I ordered Extra Grilled Sea Bass They poured cold garlic sauce on the cooked fish. It spoiled the taste of the fish. I couldn't eat it. I paid the full price. They said we always do it like this.

The food is delicious and the restaurant is clean. You don't have to wait long for your order either. The staff tries hard and accepts customers' requests in a friendly manner, even if not everyone can speak German. Unfortunately it is quite loud when the restaurant is full. But all in all a recommendable address.

Sooooo delicious, the fish salads and meze dishes are fantastic 🤗

A great fish restaurant in Duisburg-Hochfeld. I ordered a grilled sea bream and a fish soup here and am fascinated by the taste and the portions are more than enough. The restaurant is also quite okay in terms of price. Otherwise there is very good service here and everything is very clean.

The food and service were first class, we felt very comfortable. We're always happy to come back.

We will be back again, guaranteed 😋

A beautiful place. We are coming from Cologne as a family, I made a reservation the day before, but the table was not reserved, apart from that, everything is fine.

The food was okay, I can't say more about it because I had the feeling that the staff wanted to serve us quickly and make room for the guests. We didn't sit for very long either.

Food and quality top It's better to reserve on weekends

I enjoyed it very much and can only recommend it

Super tasty and large portion at a reasonable price with good service.

We recently visited the restaurant "Ihtiyar Balıkçı, old fish house" in Duisburg and were overall very satisfied with our experience. **Eat:** The food was excellent and fully met our expectations. We chose sea bream and sea bass, both of which were cooked perfectly. The fish were fresh and juicy, with a crispy skin and excellent flavor. Particularly noteworthy were the spicy prawns, which were a real highlight. They were flavorful, flavorful and had just the right amount of heat. The side dishes were also very good, fresh and complemented the main courses wonderfully. **Service:** The service at "Ihtiyar Balıkçı" was also very good. The staff was friendly, attentive and made sure we felt comfortable. Wait times were reasonable, allowing us to enjoy our meal at a relaxed pace. **Prices:** The prices at "Ihtiyar Balıkçı" are reasonable and fair. Given the quality of the food and the good service, the prices are definitely justified. It's good value for money, especially for a seafood restaurant of this class. **Atmosphere:** The ambience of the restaurant is pleasant and inviting. The maritime decoration and the cozy interior create a relaxed atmosphere. The tables are well arranged so that you have enough space and can eat in peace. **Conclusion:** Our visit to "Ihtiyar Balıkçı, Old Fish House" was an overall positive experience. The food was excellent, the service friendly and the prices reasonable. We were particularly impressed by the spicy shrimp. The only thing stopping us from giving it a five-star rating is the lack of a little extra wow factor that would have made the experience perfect. Nevertheless, we can recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great fish dish in Duisburg. We'd love to come back!

Had the grill plate, which was very tasty but a bit too expensive. The first service was unfriendly. Afterwards a very friendly young man came and served us.

Everything great Freshness 9/10 FISH 10/10 I will definitely come back ! !

We bought mackerel on bread, the fish was not fresh, I called them on the phone and they did not care at all because the fish tasted bitter.

Delicious Price performance taste great Recommended

Fish at its best A really great Turkish fish restaurant. The ambience isn't quite my thing, but that's more than made up for by the great fish counter and the very attentive service. It happens very quickly. Highly recommend the sardines and prawns in oil as a starter. And then all the types of fish your heart desires. We would like to come again

The food was delicious, I definitely recommend it

It is very delicious, especially the fish they cook is very good, you eat fish that is well cooked and not dried out. Even though the service is not very attentive, I give full marks for the taste. Also try their salad and round potatoes.

This fish restaurant was recommended by many friends and I was really excited to check it out. Overall I enjoyed the food and I really appreciated the great service while choosing the food. Very yummy food. Recommend the salmon.

Good food but extremely expensive...

Although the seafood restaurant may not look particularly inviting from the outside, don't let that put you off. As soon as you enter the restaurant, you are greeted by a warm and cozy atmosphere. The interior design is attractive and exudes a certain elegance. The staff is friendly and attentive and the food is simply delicious. The quality of the food and the preparation are simply top! So definitely take a look and let yourself be convinced by the inner beauty of this restaurant. The fish restaurant is simply fantastic! A real highlight for fish lovers! Of course there are other dishes on the menu that don't just include fish.

Very unfriendly and unprofessional staff. Fish was almost raw, no acceptance when complained, then it came back burnt, still had to pay. Be careful when you order salad, otherwise the largest salad will be brought straight away without asking. You can't give it back either. Was very disappointed, will never come back. Almost all of the waiters don't understand German.

Very tasty food and excellent service. Special thanks to the waiter Firaz for his excellent service. Best regards Berkay

Worst service, self-service shop, there is even better service at the snack bar!

I recently went to this fish shop and I have to say it was one of the most disappointing experiences I've ever had. The service was disastrous. The waiter seemed completely listless and uninterested in our order. When the food finally arrived there was hair found in it which is simply unacceptable. Overall we felt badly treated and will certainly not visit this store again.

The only thing missing is parking spaces. It took me 20 minutes to find something

Fish and hand skewer tasted good. The restaurant is busy, so you should reserve a table on the weekend

It was the best fish I have ever eaten, thank you for everything :)

It's so nice, I always want to eat there

The fish was delicious and freshly prepared, the fried potatoes, brown on one side and the salad (tomatoes were not particularly fresh, rather soft). The salad was a huge plate...way too much. Nevertheless, thank you very much 🌟 www.yilmaz-emlak.de

I advise the slightly larger man with a mustache, who has been working behind Theke from the beginning, to be a little careful when he speaks to customers. I have been a customer for years, it has happened to me twice so far, his reactions are harsh when I ask him for something. I'm giving 4 stars because I don't understand this, but the food is very nice, delicious and fresh, I definitely recommend it.

Service good, food very good :) For this reason, we have been coming to Duisburg since 2018. The shrimp taste particularly delicious here - I don't know of a better fish restaurant in North Rhine-Westphalia.

It's a little expensive, but it's a nice place to meet your fish needs while abroad.

As a non-Turk, I was invited by a Turkish friend who said it was the best fish restaurant in the area. Relatively plain from the outside and no special ambience inside either. It was very full, which is a good sign for a restaurant. Then the food came. The fish and the side dishes were really very good. There was a Turkish mocha at the end, which threatened that I wouldn't be able to sleep afterwards. But it was a bit poor. Sleeping wasn't a problem. PS FYI no alcoholic drinks are served. So unfortunately no Pilsner. But all in all, the food is definitely top

One star even too many! NEVER AGAIN!!!! A disaster. Service poor, staff unfriendly. We asked that they bring us food together so we can eat together as a family. However, 2 plates arrived and then another 2 plates followed after 17 minutes. Most of them had already finished eating. A plate was completely missing, so that everyone finished eating, but it still didn't come after the 6th time we asked. We didn't want the food anymore, but we were still supposed to pay for it. Really catastrophic.

We were there for the first time today. And certainly not for the last time. Atmosphere great. Lots of crowds, but nice. Food excellent. Service 1 a. Friendly. Receive recommendations. Everything was super fresh and very generous portions. Also very clean tables. Were wiped down immediately after eating, so you were happy to sit at a clean table. Only recommended

There was a snail crawling on one of the salad plates, we told the waiter, he put the plate away and at the checkout we still had to pay for the salad plate, never again, never again

A non-alcoholic fish restaurant. The atmosphere is nice, the staff is friendly, and the service is really good. You should definitely go and try it.

Thank you very much for the friendly staff and fast service. Do not go without making a reservation as it is generally busy. The red mullet is great, the shrimp is very nice, but the calamari was below expectations. The haddock was average, the fried anchovy was superb. On our next visit, we will head directly to sea fish. There is a difference of about 10-15 Euros between cultured fish and, in short, everything was very nice.
