Iltis-Grill in Köln

The BEST pita - from a triple skewer. Even the Pillar Grill can't keep up.

By far the best gyros I have ever eaten in my life. Super spicy, crispy and yet juicy meat, super good, homemade tzatziki, incredibly large portions and a lovely ambience. The staff was also very nice & friendly. I drove 100km to eat there and I will definitely come back 🙏🏻👌🏻

The food tastes good - but the long waiting times are just annoying. Unfortunately the service is very slow. Unfortunately the ambience is not at all nice from the inside…

Gyro plate large is really very large. Everything really tasted great. The tzatziki is fantastic. Even the cucumber salad is homemade (or at least tastes like it). So really highly recommended. I will come more often, even if I travel 50 km.

Top shop, top gyros, top service.🤗 Always a pleasure ❤️💪🏻

I can highly recommend this place. The food is absolutely delicious, but the shop is so overcrowded that you sometimes stand for up to three quarters of an hour before it's your turn. But that's exactly the success of the iltis Grill, because it tastes so good there. That's why it's so popular! It's best not to go at peak times. Then ten stars!

Huge portion but also very expensive. It's better to offer smaller portions, but cheaper. The staff seems overwhelmed and unfriendly. But the food was good.

Delicious 😋 like before. Are friendly and accommodating.

That's what I call a gyro grill. There's a lot going on there, but rightly so. You walk in and the first thing you see are three rotating skewers. But these skewers are worth every euro. Good meat combined with a very good mix of spices. The meat is nice and juicy and not fatty. 16 euros isn't exactly low for a gyro plate, but it's definitely a treat. By the way, the portion is huge, so I was able to take half with me. Tzaziki is great, as are the fries and coleslaw. The real salad for my wife was also fresh and delicious. When it gets warmer, you can also sit on the terrace. I can more than recommend this grill. Top

Νόστιμο πολύ. νόστιμο το καλητερο γύραδικο ακόμα και από την πατρίδα

We became aware of the store through a post on Tic Toc. Since there aren't really many good gyros grills, we decided to visit and on Friday the time had come. We knew there would be a long wait and there was I had the gyro plate with coleslaw. Good quality meat, plentiful and really tasty. Tactically very intelligent, taking relatively small plates and filling them well. A bit carelessly arranged but anyone who eats here wants to be full. Unfortunately, the staff is overwhelmed by the large crowds, poorly organized and appears to be poorly organized. The restaurant has no Greek flair and is more like a canteen. It's a shame because the food is very good. Conclusion: definitely worth a visit

Super nice owners and super good gyros plate. It's worth checking out

Very good “King’s plate”, often very full

The food was really great, you can tell the years of experience. Any time.

There are 4 people behind the counter, which is supposed to suggest that things are going quickly. Unfortunately the staff is incompetent and gets in their own way. 23min waiting time for a gyro plate

By far the best gyros we have eaten. 5 stars 🤩

Unfortunately taken over with the new large store. Forever long waiting times. Last queued for 45 minutes only to be told that gyros wouldn't be ready for another 30 minutes. If you want to serve so many people, you have to have the appropriate capacity!

The best plate in the world! The Könisch plate at Iltis Grill is simply amazing – super tasty and a pleasure with every bite. I can only recommend it! Doah!

The food was delicious, but then to brazenly ask for €2 more just because you want the salad to be portioned extra is very brazen. Do fries meat and salad in one package. It doesn't work at all. I don't want fries mixed together with vinegar and oil and then the fat from the meat. No thanks, I was here last time, I'd rather go to El Greco, it's cheaper and the service is great and at least the salad is specially packaged there without charging extra. 🤬 Customer friendliness is very important here.

Huge portions, tastes very tasty. Greetings and many thanks from the north.

The Iltis-Grill in Cologne is known for its excellent gyros and is one of the best Greek snacks in the city. Many guests praise the quality of the food and the friendly service. Some reviews highlight the freshness and flavor of the food, while others appreciate the generous portions and authentic ambience. Although there may occasionally be a wait, many agree that the wait is worth it. Overall, the Iltis-Grill is recommended by numerous visitors as a top address for Greek food in Cologne.

Pleasant atmosphere and good food. And there is also a bowling alley.

Very tasty gyros and all ingredients fresh. I didn't finish my gyro plate so I took the rest with me and it was still just as delicious the next day. That shows quality

Iltis Grill or not - no organization! Anyone who throws in each portion of fries individually on a Sunday evening has not got the job! The hairdresser has to go through…sleep noses. El Greco or Saloniki again in the future.

An incredibly good shop. We drive there especially from Oberberg! 😊👍

The food is really tasty and the portions are generous. The employees are nice and quick. The new restaurant is really successful. The Iltis grill is definitely worth a visit again and again 👍🏻 And I definitely don't know of any other grill with such snakes wanting to eat there ✌🏻

Simply the best gyros and super friendly staff

Gyros, rice noodles, tzatziki, cucumber and coleslaw. Each element of this plate was #1 in Cologne. Although the interior is upscale, the women live this honest, direct snack bar charm without becoming unfriendly. Dear.

I've been to a lot of Greek places but this is the best meat I've ever eaten and the portions are great, all in all A+👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Great upgrade from before - with the same extremely high quality. Extremely inexpensive by today's standards.

Mega big gyros complete. Ambiance? It's just a chip shop. But the staff is great and the food is delicious... Update The new shop is really awesome, when I'm in Cologne I'd rather jump in here and have a good time. Vg Heiko

Best gyros in all of Germany!!!

I am very disappointed with the service and treatment of customers! After I ordered I received an angry look and my food was thrown on the table. The portions are too expensive for the price. The boss is very negative and not just that day but always since I was there a few times. I wouldn't recommend going there!

Simply delicious food, very good service and the boss was very friendly

Best gyros ever! Everytime I come to Cologne I come here to eat. I love it!

A really nice, clean shop with friendly staff and most importantly: particularly delicious gyros! Remember to pay at the counter and save yourself the embarrassing moment I had on the way out 🤣

The gyros plate in the Iltis grill was super tasty, and the staff is very friendly! Although the waiting time of 30-45 minutes was quite long, I turned a blind eye - other stores wouldn't have gotten 5 stars, but it's just right here!

Best gyros I've ever tried in Cologne

Taste good. . Portions not big. Priced a bit too high

Really high quality products! It was also very tasty! Really awesome tzatziki!

The food was good, but the portions could have been larger.

It's definitely delicious, but after standing at the counter for a quarter of an hour to take an order, we've had enough. Absolutely disorganized. No system. We pointed this out and were contacted. We left without going to that level…. The fact that we were loudly insulted and that they apparently dumped their frustration on us only deserves one star. By the way, almost twice as expensive as the competition...

The BEST Greek there is. Everything is indescribably delicious and I think the prices are reasonable. Anyone who knows him can and will confirm it.

Gyros plate complete was very tasty and plentiful

I had gyros completely to go! Best gyros I've ever eaten! Everything tasted just fantastic! (meat, fries, fresh salad) I was even asked what salad I would like with it! Great 👍🏼 The only point of criticism: You have to come up with something different with the packaging 😉

Really incredibly tasty gyros pita, especially the meat and the tzatziki are just perfect! But I also stood in line for a good hour on Saturday afternoon. Still, the wait was worth it. There's certainly less going on during the week, I'll be back

The new store is great, looks great and the food is also very tasty

Nice crew and the food is super delicious

By far the best gyros I have ever eaten 👍🏻 very tasty. Service and ambience very welcoming and modern. Price performance top. Can only recommend it to everyone. A must when you are there.

Best gyros in Cologne, very long waiting times

Best Greek food far and wide. Just go there to eat.

It was my first time there and the taste was really delicious. I will go here more often. Clear recommendation.

Service good food great The store is super clean and beautifully designed

I loved living in Greece for a year and a half. Everything tastes different there and there is no comparison. Not as great as I expected.

Gyros plate with salad and fries €16 Taste 9/10 Optics 8.5/10 Service 3/10 Ambience 8.5/10 Price 7/10 Card payment 1/3 The food was really excellent. Very authentic and the price-performance ratio is also right. The only complaint is that the plates were far too small for the portion size. Half fell off when skewering. Another serious problem is service. We waited almost 1.5 hours for our gyros plates. The processes were very inefficient. There was a long line to order and each portion of fries was fried individually. With such a rush, a larger portion of fries would have been prepared straight away. For us, a plate of gyros left the counter about every 15 minutes. If the preparation had been quicker, we would have achieved a frequency of at least 1 minute per plate. There is a need for improvement there.

Huge portions of good quality at reasonable prices. Bring waiting time

Not recommended! The service is very unfriendly, then you have to wait almost an hour for a portion of gyros and then have to shell out 16 euros for it, without a salad!!

Heavy gyros, you can tell that the owner loves his product. Very chic and high quality for a snack restaurant.

Very tasty food! We will definitely come back

Restaurant review I was at the restaurant recently and had mixed experiences. The food was really tasty and good quality, which was definitely the plus point of the visit. However, the organization of the service leaves a lot to be desired. It was obvious that the team was overwhelmed by the situation. While a long line formed, two employees stood idle who could have been helping or manning the cash registers instead. This seemed inefficient and left an unprofessional impression. The service in this restaurant used to be much better, but now they can't seem to keep up. Training on how to deal with many customers while remaining customer-friendly would be urgently needed. Unfortunately, you can tell that employees are annoyed, especially when customers are justifiably frustrated. Overall, customer friendliness was rather mediocre. It's a shame, because the food would have deserved a much better overall impression. Hopefully the team accepts this criticism and works on the organization and handling of customers.

The prices are really high considering that the dishes are served on paper plates. But the food is also delicious.

Unfortunately, since the move there has been one thing: it has become significantly too expensive. Christmas market prices! I hope this iconic store doesn't self-destruct :(

Update 11/15/24 The waiting times are now so underground. Waited almost 2 hours to then be told that the remaining meat was "almost" already planned. They can see that people are just standing there and waiting!! WHY CAN’T YOU JUST SAY THAT OUT LOUD! I don't understand why, when the house is full (i.e. almost always), you turn on several deep fryers instead of making each portion individually. That's also one reason why things aren't moving forward. Still the BEST Gyros! But unfortunately it's very, very disorganized, that's no longer justifiable. The women behind the counter aren't really friendly either. Except the boss!

For 4 weeks I've been going to the Iltis Grill every third day and asking for chicken, and every time I'm put off! Next week next week we have no space, no CHICKEN MEAT since the reopening which I think is a shame!! At least be honest or do a spies chicken day one day a week, kind regards Lena .D

Very tasty food, fresh, everything is prepared in front. Very clean

Good snack, unfortunately very expensive.

What else should you write about the Iltis Grill? Gyros at the highest level and plentiful. Price performance is right. Cult snack bar in Ehrenfeld. The host is funny and the service is nice. New location pleasant.

Great food, still the same as it was 10 years ago.

Doah tastes like shit. Never eaten such a great gyro plate before hahahaha schmeeececckkkktkttt. Christos is the best doah fries with chalapenjos and greasy mayo hahahaha schmeeckkkkkt. Great shop 12/10

The best Greek I know. The meat is seasoned perfectly and the slaw is to die for.

My colleagues didn't promise too much. The best gyros I've eaten so far. Very juicy, crispy and well-seasoned meat. No waiting, we had our food within 10 minutes. The owners and staff were very friendly. The price of €15 is absolutely justified.

I'm not from Cologne, I went in spontaneously and would really like to say THANK YOU to the Iltis Grill. Gyros plate with salad and fries. I can't remember ever having such a good gyro. The tzatziki sauce tastes pleasantly mild and full-bodied. The gyros were juicy and wonderfully crispy. The fries were not greasy but of great quality and the salad was crisp and fresh. Nothing more is possible, right? Snack food can be so great.

LEGENDARY. The Olympus among gyros shops. Absolute number 1 in Cologne. Extremely well attended at all times and that's no wonder. 2 Magnum skewers with classic gyros and 1 skewer with poultry ensure that every guest gets nice, crispy, juicy gyros at any time and can enjoy a unique taste explosion. Whenever I eat gyros here, my taste buds are back in Thessaloniki on Platia Aristotle.

Doahhhhhh Koenisch Teller bester Teller bah bah bah

So delicious doah doah. Bach Bach Bach schmäääääccckkkkttttttt

New location, tried and tested team. Delicious gyros! It's worth queuing - today I waited 1 hour and 15 minutes (it's also Sunday). I just think it's great how the team takes orders with harmony and precision. I would go crazy! Top. As always, gyros were tasty and neatly portioned. I think that's one of the secrets: no mess. Thank you, grade 5+.

I would have liked to give more stars because the gyros are really good, but the service was very unfriendly. Unfortunately, tzatziki is not homemade.

As always, very, very good. The long queue is proof of quality.

I ordered a king plate to take away. Salad, fries and gyros all on a plate piled high and drowned in all the sauces that it was just a Lauwarner mud. And with the salad you could have asked which one you wanted

Very good gyros and delicious gyro plate. I had gyros plate with fries without salad - for 15€ - I think it's too expensive, hence a star deduction. I also had to wait an hour (!!) because there was such a long line on the street far in front of the snack bar. The owner can't do anything about that, but every time I go by there I have to plan for waiting times of up to an hour. This makes a fast food restaurant no longer a fast food restaurant but a slow food restaurant. Because how quickly I can get my food here is a criterion for me. Therefore deducting one star again. Because it is almost impossible to find a parking space for the car in the area, I deduct another star. Unfortunately, you can't give this more than two stars.

I have never seen such a disorganized operation. After waiting for almost an hour we left without placing an order. During that time, only about 10 people got their food while about 20 waited. Not recommended!

As solid as the food is, the waiting times are a disaster. Then you can't even pay with a card and you don't get a receipt either. No thanks. Then it's better to order somewhere else and have it delivered... of course that's not possible here either. You can imagine why. And when people talk about “quick food” in the reviews, you really have to ask yourself whether they get anything for the reviews. It was never quick when I was there.

Thank you for the delicious food, the best gyros and the other dishes on offer are highly recommended. Gets 5 stars for everything, nice service. Very guest friendly family business. Let yourself be won over by the delicious dishes that are made with love.

Now even better... For me the BEST in Cologne. The journey is worth it. Specialty: Gyros, cucumber salad & fries.

Certainly one of the best gyros in the city. The price-performance ratio is also good. The new store was also a success. Unfortunately, the waiting times are really extreme. 1 1/4 hours for two small gyros is intense. But I'm afraid I'll still come back because it's just too good not to eat. 🤤

1 hour in line and then just hearing that you can't pay by card, and no sign, nothing

Best gyros in Cologne. At least 5 stars I would also give more.

My order started 20 minutes after I ordered it. The staff doesn't care how long you wait. The food is delicious.

Best pita we have eaten so far. We're happy to do that! :) Even after the reopening, the taste of the food and the friendliness of the staff remain unchanged. Simply great!

Even after the reopening, it is at least the best snack bar in all of Cologne.

Der Gyros war schon einmal besser. Die Teller sind zu klein, die Gabeln sind nicht zum essen geeignet, die Zinken sind zu eng beieinander. Die Wartezeit und die Preise gehen gereicht. 18,90 für Gyros komplett und eine Cola finde ich zu teuer.

Food great. Unfortunately, the new concept is a complete failure, you sometimes stand in line for an hour, only to find out when it's your turn that the food will take another 45-60 minutes. Same queue for take-aways as well as those eating on-site, with the danger that if you order to eat on-site you won't have room to eat. “Awareness” does more harm than good to the customer. The fact that there are now also chicken gyros, ok, I'm looking forward to the first pork kebab.

Just really delicious. The wait was definitely worth it. Today was the first time, but not the last time. Keep it up.

Iltis Grill is really great, a new atmosphere, the food is very good, very juicy meat and portions large enough to fill you up, so if you want to eat delicious gyros I can highly recommend Iltis Grill

The Iltis Grill is a real insider tip in Longerich. The food is simply first class. I ordered a gyro plate with tatziki and cucumber salad. The gyro was perfectly grilled and nicely seasoned. The Tatziki was creamy and delicious. Furthermore, the cucumber salad was perfect with the gyros. The service was very friendly and attentive. They took the time to ask about our wishes and recommend the different dishes. I can fully recommend the Iltis Grill. Here are a few other things that I particularly like about the Iltis Grill: The prices are very fair. There is a large selection of Greek specialties. I will definitely come back!

Waits a long time for normal food. Solid!

I've been going to Iltis Grill for decades. It's an institution when it comes to gyros. Beware of the risk of addiction because of the particularly tasty meat. For me the best Greek restaurant/snack bar in Cologne.

Absolutely incapable of criticism, as a customer I was presented with meat from a skewer that had been cut off from the bottom and top and was full of fat. Instead of apologizing and simply making a new plate, I was immediately insulted. Meat should be fatty😂😂 😂🤦‍♂️😂.So with an empty stomach, went somewhere else where you can get the gyros without FAT.😎.Well 3 and the last time I was there

Good price performance, the portions are huge, the tzatziki is outstanding

Very, very long waiting times, far too few staff for a store like this. The gyros are good but not above average and for the price of a pita for €8 we won't visit the IltisGrill again as there are better gyros places nearby that are even cheaper.
