Iltis-Grill in Köln

If you are greedy this is the right place, prefer smaller portions and inexpensive

The gyros and tzatziki are delicious. Large portions and everything is perfect!

The gyro is delicious and truly the best I've ever eaten. Unfortunately, you have to wait quite a while for your food because the place is so busy, but that probably reflects how delicious the food is and why you're willing to wait in line.

You have to wait over an hour for your food every time, but you are only told after you have been in line for 20 minutes.

I wanted to know if the hype was justified. So I went there, ordered the King's Plate, and enjoyed it. To cut a long story short, it's really delicious, and I'll definitely go back!

Yes, the best gyros in and around Cologne.

Absolutely my favorite gyros in Cologne

The best gyro pita I've ever eaten. The gyro plate was also amazing and huge. The meat was super flavorful, fries were crispy, and the coleslaw was delicious. We'll be back again.

Super delicious 😋 and very generous portions. Highly recommended!

Best gyro in town. Always packed, so expect to wait. Large portions, expensive, but worth it.

Service was a complete disaster. I'd rather go to Akti Grill on Barbara Street. Fast, super tasty, great service, they're quick.

Definitely the best gyro! The owner is really nice too!

No, unfortunately not. It's a shame. The counter staff seems a bit overwhelmed by the crowd. After paying, it took over 20 minutes for the food to be served, even though there was only one person ahead of me. In between, the coleslaw was refilled twice and the tzatziki once, even though the containers were still 80% full. Furthermore, all the Greek guests were greeted enthusiastically and entertained for a while. When I asked, "Where's my food?" I just got a shrug and "I don't know." I wasn't the only one who found it very strange. Unfortunately, they didn't ask me which salad flavors I'd like either... It could have become our new regular Greek place for gyros...but 30 minutes until the takeout is ready is unfortunately too long for me.

The hype surrounding this gyro is absolutely justified. The meat tastes completely different from what you're used to. Excellently seasoned, juicy, crispy, and tender at the same time. The fries are always freshly prepared for each order, making them hot and crispy. The tzatziki speaks for itself: a great consistency and top-notch flavor. All in all, by far the best gyro!

Very tasty dishes, all freshly prepared. Unfortunately, it's always very busy, which sometimes dampens the friendliness of the staff behind the counter.

Very tasty gyro! The pita is also super tasty. Highly recommended, even if you might have to wait a bit longer these days.

Great shop! The best royal dishes!

I waited 55 minutes… a bottomless impudence

It was a truly delicious meal. Everything was well seasoned, very tasty, and fresh.

Great gyros, generous portions, well-seasoned, really delicious. The staff and the chef are very friendly, and the chef always has a funny joke ready 🙂 Conclusion: Highly recommended 👍

Best gyros in Cologne!!! Yuuuuuuuummm!!

Delicious delicious delicious BESTE

There's just one criticism I want to address first. What kind of tzatziki is this? Please enlighten me, because when I eat it, I feel more like I'm eating mayonnaise than tzatziki. I don't get that delicious, fresh yogurt flavor from tzatziki. Besides, Greek tzatziki actually contains cucumber, right? I would be thrilled if the tzatziki was homemade and made with real, refreshing yogurt.

The farmer's salad wasn't fresh, especially the tomatoes... Greek salad with just one olive and a piece of bell pepper doesn't look like a Greek salad... The meat was tasty, but very salty. The tzatziki sauce was delicious.

The gyro pita with tzatziki and cabbage was delicious. Highly recommended. Unfortunately, the wait times for a snack bar are a disgrace. We waited 45 minutes for our food. The service is sometimes really unfriendly. It's usually very busy, and they're stressed. Perhaps hire one or two temporary staff to help out, if possible.

I was drawn to it by Koenisch. The King's Plate (€17) was a 10/10. Best gyro I've ever eaten. Long wait.

A quick, spontaneous stop – my gyro pita was very, very tasty, well-filled, with super-delicious pita bread and tzatziki. A very inviting and tidy shop.

Very tasty gyros and friendly staff. Lots of customers.

Too long a wait and instead of curry sauce there was only curry ketchup

The gyro is truly one of a kind. The portions are really large and the prices are fair. We also liked the bowling alley. It looks well-maintained and technically in good condition.

Very large portions! Everything inside is newly renovated and nice. The staff is very friendly. The gyros are delicious!

When it comes to good gyros, there's only one place in Cologne: "Iltis." We're absolutely certain of that. What comes out of the grill here isn't a gyro stand compromise – it's real craftsmanship! The meat: The pork is so crispy it cracks when you bite into it. Juicy inside, crispy on the outside – it's amazing! Unfortunately, there's no chicken, but honestly, that doesn't matter. Once you've tried the pork here, you won't miss a thing. The trimmings: The fries? Crispy, as they should be. And the tzatziki... Boys, it's so good, I could sit in it and kick my feet! So fresh, so creamy, so perfectly flavored – almost like my Greek grandmother's. The wait: Yeah, it takes a long time. Sometimes a really long time. What a load of crap, you think at first. But honestly: It's worth it. And until you get better, just treat yourself to a cold Greek beer and have a chat with the owners. Two really warm people who care and take their time. Bottom line: "Iltis" isn't just a gyro stand – it's an experience. For me: The best gyro place in the industry. Period.

We had bifteki and a grilled platter. Gyros were okay, but definitely not worth the wait. The rest was junk and most likely frozen.

We came from Bonn and were there for the second time. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was very friendly.

The food was okay, but the gyro was expensive. A very, very long wait, 65 minutes (!!!) for a plate of gyro. Sorry, that's not acceptable for a snack bar!

Very tasty, very large portions

Really by far the best gyros in Cologne 👍🏽

Top-notch snack, large portions! You couldn't ask for more from a gyro plate: seasoned, crispy meat, creamy tzatziki, salty fresh fries, and a delicious coleslaw to round it all out.

Very tasty food and the portions are filling.

Very very good gyros! That's why the store is always packed and there's usually a 30-40 minute wait, but they do their best to cope with the rush and the wait is definitely worth it. Everyone was also very nice.

We were there for the first time after the reopening and were surprised at how little there was going on. We got a table outside straight away and there was only one person in front of us when we ordered. Unfortunately, the atmosphere now has a bit of a franchise feel to it, judging by the look of the store and the employees. Unfortunately we didn't like it, I don't like the gyros cut so thickly and the fries were missing salt and there wasn't any on the table. The waitress who brought the food banged the cutlery loudly on the table because she was probably tired of it. This is too expensive for me for a snack, even though the huge portion is squeezed onto an extra small plate. Why did it taste better in the old store?

Mega highly recommended will definitely come back Best Gyros Kölle…

Well, I've known this place for years. Of course the food is still good and the location is better. But that’s it. Unfortunately, everything else is no longer correct. They think they are a star restaurant with poor service, I found that unfriendly and not okay. Once again you stay and are a snack. A good snack but a snack. Are you returning to the old virtues like smiling and kindness.

Iltis Grill on the 1!!! Koenisch was absolutely right!

No, very expensive, very long waiting times even though they didn't have much to do and the food is no longer what it used to be.

We were totally hyped but unfortunately we were disappointed. The gyro is not particularly seasoned. Kind of bland. I didn't like the consistency either. Very thick cut and feels like you are chewing on cartilage. Too bad! But probably also a matter of taste.

Very friendly service and delicious food.

5 out of 5 stars – A taste experience like in Greece! I tried the Gyrospita and absolutely loved it! The meat was perfectly seasoned, juicy and grilled to perfection. Plus the warm, fluffy pita bread – slightly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside – an absolute dream. Fresh lettuce, crunchy onions, juicy tomatoes and of course the creamy, homemade tzatziki sauce rounded the whole thing off perfectly. Every bite was a Mediterranean getaway. You can simply taste the quality and the attention to detail. For me this is the best Gyrospita far and wide - I'll definitely be back!

Many say it is the best gyros in Cologne. I say it too! Incredibly delicious. And everything. Whether it's the gyros or the coleslaw or the fries. Depending on when you go there, you have to expect a waiting time. And when 10 people stand in front of someone, it's not uncommon for the delicious gyros. So don't be surprised and just wait. It's worth it!

The food is very tasty and very lovingly prepared. This is worth a visit… in short: friendly and delicious!

If you are not even able to store changed opening times on Google. Great customer focus

If you run a business, the owner should also be aware that there are customers who check the opening times on Google and drive off to the store especially from Pulheim. You should update the opening times if they are closed.

Some of the best Greek I know. Portion very large and everything very tasty. The meat is well seasoned and, above all, super juicy. We decided on the Gyros King Plate.

Very tasty gyros and great portions ☺️keep it up

It was very tasty, worth the wait.

It's a shame that you wait for more than 30 minutes even though there's only one person in front of you It makes you wait for no particular reason. Unfortunately, it wasn't the first time there was such a waiting time in an empty store The food can be so good there

Super tasty, spicy and honest food.🤩 The portions are huge and the prices are good. The gyro is terrific! The fries could have been a little darker, but they were well seasoned. The salads were all delicious too. The atmosphere is really good for a snack. You have to queue up to order, but the counter staff are all in such a good mood that this mood passes on to you and the waiting time quickly flies. All questions were answered calmly and all extras ordered were implemented without any problems. Really great service. I would love to come back here.

5 stars The Iltis Grill is absolutely great! The gyros are super tasty – beautifully spicy and juicy. The portions are huge, so no one will go home hungry. Price-performance ratio is just right here. If you want to eat really good gyros, you've come to the right place! (Bring time, very popular 👍🏻)

Unfortunately, our visit to Iltis in Cologne was anything but pleasant. When we ordered we were treated extremely unfriendly. We politely asked for chicken because we can't eat pork - instead we were literally approached by the lady at the counter. She immediately shook her head in annoyance and said: “No, we don’t, it’s everywhere.” But that's not true - the website clearly stated that gyros are also available with chicken. Even worse: some of the meat we got was raw. This was particularly bad for my wife - she is pregnant and is not allowed to eat raw meat. An absolute no-go! The taste of the food was okay, but the entire experience was just disappointing. If you treat guests like that and then serve raw meat, that's a clear “no” for us. We're definitely not coming back.

Excellent! An absolute pleasure. The best gyros you can get!

We actually go there often, but unfortunately, not anymore after today. You order something, leave something out, and pay double the price. You skip the fries or get a salad instead, and it costs €5 extra. Today was our last time there. The portions are getting smaller and smaller, and the prices have gone up significantly.

Best gyros. I can only recommend it to everyone.

Was there for the first time, we waited a little longer on a Sunday evening but it was worth it! Enough places to sit whether inside or outside, friendly staff & the best gyros! It was juicy and perfectly fried, the portions are huge. The perfect little Greek snack & home feeling for free 😉

Best gyros in Cologne ✌️thank you very much

very clean and super delicious food. large portions. Price performance really TOP we'd love to come back.

Update: Same quality, but in a new location (see photo!) ……………………….. Currently, probably until October 2024, the Greek owner and his wife are serving the super delicious gyros from two rotisserie spits from a makeshift stand in front of his well-known snack bar, which is currently being renovated. Price-value ratio is very good! I'll be back.

The menu is totally outdated - even though it has just been renewed. We drove there from a little further away only to find out that there was no longer any chicken there... The owner's answer: nope, we haven't had chicken for 3 months. You could give us gyros Offering pork... totally cheeky, especially for people who don't eat pork. It's not without reason that people ask for chicken meat. It's a shame, years ago the food there was delicious... and the owners were really unfriendly.

Great service, would recommend it again and again, come here often 👍🏽

The food was very tasty and the price was okay too. Just a bit small portions for the price.

I was recently at Iltis-Grill Frohnhofstraße 10, 50825 Cologne, and I was absolutely thrilled! As soon as I entered the restaurant I felt like I was in Greece - the atmosphere is warm and inviting, the staff incredibly friendly. The food was simply excellent. I ordered gyros, and it was perfectly seasoned, fresh and incredibly tasty. I was particularly impressed by the homemade tzatziki because the taste was simply unbeatable. The portions are generous, the prices are absolutely fair and the quality is first class. If you are looking for authentic Greek cuisine in Cologne, you should definitely come here. I will definitely come back!

The best gyros in all of Cologne

Anyone who stops by the Iltis Grill immediately feels like they are in Greece. The atmosphere, the warm welcome and of course the food ensure that you will enjoy staying here. The quality of the food is consistently at a high level - whether gyros or other dishes, everything tastes fresh and authentic. Particularly noteworthy is the managing director: a real guy who runs his shop with passion and always has an open ear for his guests. If you're looking for delicious food and a family atmosphere, you should definitely stop by here! Best regards Luke ✌️

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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.
