Istanbul Restaurant in Köln

Worst Turkish restaurant in Germany. The food was terrible, the meat was raw, and the service was terrible. If you want a stomach ache, you can go there. On top of that, the food was ridiculously expensive.

The worst doner I have ever seen, the meat was very dry, the workers were very cheeky, I ordered a doner and they brought me fries, not recommended

1.5 stars Old, cold meat Poor service Dirty

We went on May 11th, our 4-year-old son was at the table and my wife and I were in front of the door. Our son had a phone in his hand. A waiter was talking to my child. Normally, my son does not speak slang. He got very angry at that man and spoke in slang. He said, "How can he come near my child and approach his face?" I couldn't say anything at that moment, but I couldn't sleep all night. What kind of nonsense is this? I would never recommend it. The food is terrible.

They're just cutthroats!!! The food is ok, but the portions are so small that you can get really angry.

Had a bite to eat here during our visit to Cologne. Everything looked good and neat. Food was also fine, nothing to complain about. But the service can be better. Order was on the table in no time. However, the cutlery and drinks were missing. They decided to grab the cutlery themselves. And when we had almost finished our food, we told them that we still didn't have our drinks. The answer was: 'yes, I know'. A bit of a strange turn of events, but okay. Service was a bit surly anyway.

-1000/10 VERY bad, they have to close the shop, and TOO EXPENSIVE!!!!! Food is cold and very old

Tijdens ons bezoek aan Köln hier even een hapje gaan eten. Alles zag er goed en verzorgd uit. Eten was ook prima, niks op aan te merken. Maar de service kan beter. Bestelling stond binnen een mum van tijd op tafel. Echter het bestek en de drankjes ontbraken. Bestek zijn ze zelf maar gaan pakken. En toen we ins eten bijna op hadden toch maar even gezegd dat we onze drankjes nog steeds niet hadden. Het antwoord was: ‘ja dat weet ik’. Beetje rare gang van zaken, maar goed. Bediening was sowieso een beetje nors.

We had very rude service today But the food wasn't bad. Cleanliness wasn't that good either, especially toilets..

Food was tasty but very little. The staff were very unfriendly.

Durum kebab very tiny for 8.5€ I don't recommend it

Worst kebab I've ever eaten, not even half full and the meat was only half cooked!

Too expensive and doesn't taste good at all! They are also unfriendly. It says beans with meat, but comes without meat!

It was very crowded, the food wasn't tasty but edible. Personally, I didn't have a good feeling about the atmosphere. The toilet wasn't clean and there was no soap.

Tourist trap! Once and never again!

Pizza kebab kebab a few pizzas were raw, the only thing that tasted good was kockzail sauce

Absolutely not recommended for eating, we all had stomach ache afterwards

I ate yesterday in a Turkish restaurant in Cologne. The food didn't look fresh. Strangely today I had diarrhea all day, I think I was poisoned. The prices are exorbitant for such a small portion. The toilets were very dirty and there were no soaps. I do not recommend this restaurant at all.

A well-known Turkish restaurant, I must visit it every time I visit Cologne

I like to come here again and again. The doner kebap is so delicious. Mehmet is very friendly

A place that serves great Turkish food near the train station in Cologne. It offers you Anatolian cuisine with soups, lahmacun, doner kebab, stews and desserts. We gained the friendship of master Ramazan, the owner of the place, by offering tea and friendly conversation in addition to the meals. I definitely recommend it to those who lose their way.

Food comes before drinks and eating It just tastes nothing

Tasty but very crowded and loud

For €15, the kebab plate really wasn't a great price. Given the location to the cathedral, it is still okay for tourists. But if you live in Cologne, you'd better head towards Eigelstein. The taste of the meat was okay. The tzatziki was on the salad and had more of a yogurt dressing than tzatziki. Correspondingly little for the portions of meat and fries. On a real kebab plate, the tzatziki belongs next to the food, or at least on the meat. But not on the salad.

We went because they were Turks. I guess they were bored of Turks and they were not interested in them. They should not forget that Turks mostly made the money for them. By the way, there was only chicken doner. It was the same price as meat doner.

€27 for a ridiculous grill plate. There was only the fat from the lamb, the rest was black on the outside and red on the inside. The service rounded things off. Cheffo preferred to exchange heroic stories with everyone rather than play the role of the innkeeper. Afterwards we ate kebab somewhere else and the meat was also done.

Worst doner ever tasted in whole Germany….it taste ao bad that cant eat more than 1 bite.never recomend anybody

The food is extremely bad, the portions are very small and the customer service is very uncaring.

An employee confirmed by phone that I would get a seat for myself and my family immediately. At the checkout our request for a pre-order was refused. After 15 minutes of waiting and very unfriendly treatment from the employees, we decided to eat elsewhere.

Very friendly staff. The food was prepared quickly and tasted excellent. I would recommend it to everyone.

Near Hbf , the doner is not bad

Brother was honestly too funny. They were heavily fronted for "not spicy." No idea what the kebab tastes like, but humor 10/10

The service is fast and the food is good. The tables are comfortable and the atmosphere is warm. If you come here, you will definitely not go hungry.

I actually came here twice once with my family and then about a month later by myself. My mom and brother raved about how much they loved the food here and the adana kebab was one of the best they had in their lives. I regretted not trying jt the first time so I knew I had to go again when I came back to Cologne. I ordered the same exact thing that they did and it was amazing. The Adana was very juicy the rice was very well seasoned, and the sauce was spicy

During the holy Ramadan delicious meals with quick service is very important! My iftar was great! 👍🏻 I highly recommend this restaurant to all who likes Halal & Delicious meals! 😋😋😋😋

Overpriced but at least flimsy. My God.

If I spend €8 on a kebab, then please fill it up...

There is no hygiene. Prices are expensive. An ordinary taste. I couldn't find any good reason to go again. I do not recommend.

Can it be that their falafel has cheese in it? Was very decent, both the falafel and the chicken doner.

So I can only confirm that the food was undercooked and fatty... we had iskender and Adana kebap. Iskender was a fatty tomato sauce, with fatty meat and almost crackers as a base. Come on, the Adana kebab was really well seasoned... a side dish doesn't work that well, the service was terrible, it was full and they were totally overwhelmed and annoyed... and they easily let the customer feel that too... there was a young couple with a stroller, they were totally annoyed... I thought the couple would get up again and leave. In any case, when I asked for ketchup and mayo again, I got a dirty look.. we just had to laugh... when I paid, I got another good one,,, I just stood there to pay, then the service asked me why I was standing around here, the children were running around, I just thought shit, why did I only eat here, they aren't worth it at all.. such nice places in Cologne. The price is hot... 3 dishes, a portion of fries and 3 drinks equals 86 euros... Conclusion: Never again! But I'd love to come back to the cathedral...

Very bad service, does not care about the guests

Excellent Food. Good portion size. You get bread with full meals. Flavor was great. If we come back to We would visit again.

The doner kebab is very good and has plenty of meat and ingredients. The average meal price is between 8-14 Euros. Employees and customers speak Turkish. You will not have any communication problems.

Service catastrophe because service is even better Very unfriendly shop and overpriced 0.2 Cola €2.50 that's exploitation, what should our tourists who are visiting Cologne think It's better to give this restaurateur a wide berth

The employees are very angry. And that's not nice. They also underestimate foreign people. This is not tradesmanship.

Simply perfect. All the staff were very friendly and relaxed, a very relaxed atmosphere and the most important thing: one of the best kebabs I've ever had!

Very good and fresh meat. I really liked it

waiter was in bad mood, food was ok for the kind of restaurant but not so elegant presentation

The food was great (freshly made minced meat skewer). You sit down pretty quickly and it's rather easy, as it's also close to the train station. The boss was very nice. What was very notable and nice were the very well-kept toilets, which surprised me positively. In any case you can, e.g. Eat very well during a transfer stop

After we ate we just wanted to sit for a few minutes. The waiter kicked us out

I had the pleasure of trying the Adana kebab at this restaurant, and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were perfectly balanced, the meat was tender and juicy, and the spices were spot on. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the overall ambiance made the dining experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for authentic and mouthwatering Turkish cuisine, this place is a must-visit!

The food was quick, and definitely tasty. The service was all friendly. Unfortunately I don't quite agree with the price

Well, I've eaten much better Dürüms. I also ordered spicy and there was absolutely no taste of it at all. Should I have gone to Poldi's Dönnerbuude just around the corner?

For €27 we got a meal that was not only neither cooked nor fried, but some of it was even bloody - and that is absolutely disgusting. Nothing was cooked properly, the meat was raw and had visible blood. You shouldn't serve something like that to a guest! It tasted just as bad as it looked, and we were really worried about our health afterwards. A huge disappointment – ​​zero stars if that were possible. Never again!

They dried the meat. The cutlet alone was delicious. It's not worth the price

If you could give zero stars then I would have given zero. It had nothing to do with food at all.

I didn't find the beef rotisserie that tasty

The fries were undercooked; some of the flesh was burnt black; the service unfriendly. The salad looked old; I didn't even touch it. The medical facility is not clean. The only positive thing was the delicious flatbread.

Just bad! The fries weren't even ready and the meat was burnt. The salad looked like it was from the day before.

I really wanted to eat it so I walked all the way to find it... but I'm so satisfied! I think it was the most delicious food I had while in Germany. The price is very reasonable, the quantity is very large, and it is delicious. It's a little salty, but I've already gotten used to it^^ Danke♡

Eat lahmacun with meat (doner between lahmacun) it is successful. Dried beans come with meat and taste good. It's getting crowded. We can say that it is affordable in terms of price.

It is delicious and the portions are quite large, I recommend you to try it.

We left the restaurant without eating because the behavior of the staff was so bad

Great staff, friendly staff, very good taste

I travel all around the world and only this restaurant called me "shei shei" out of nowhere. I genuinely like Turkish food but after such word, food taste just gone. Recommend for anyone who rejoice the racism.

The food was miserably bad, the service was disrespectful and completely indifferent. There was hardly any choice, just a few standard dishes that were far from convincing. Absolutely no recommendation.

Never eat there again, they are careful rip-offs

Meat doner is great. The portions are almost twice as much as in Turkey. For the first time, I felt full while eating meat doner and could not finish it. I recommend that the tradesmen in Turkey should come here and have a meal. The soup is also very successful.

We came from Turkey and had eaten doner kebabs elsewhere and we saw a lot of them on the street, but we have never seen a real doner kebab like this place. Delicious real meat doner kebabs are served here with German style sauces and so on.

Very bad service, they didn't ask us how we wanted our kebab, they did it their own way and the meat smelled funny, bad experience

We were here with a group of students. Only 25 people. Service - at the highest level, fast, friendly and high-quality! Very satisfied!

The food is delicious🥹 The atmosphere is nice and the staff are friendly.

The rating looks good but my visit wasn’t so pleasant. The guy took order seems like doesn’t care at all. And the both meat chicken and beef were so dry and burnt.

I like the friendly attitude of the waiters. The kitchen is good. The portions are huge. The prices are not disappointing. Located in the heart of Cologne.

Not very pleased with the visit. We had chicken wrap. Ive never had something similar. Very oily and the tzatziki sauce they put inside was super watery and bland. Full with big chunks of parsley. Waiters dont speak english so it was hard to understand each other. Toilets from soviet union. And very cold inside the restaurant.

Doner box is 8 euro, not cheap.

Adana dürüm was excellent. Gladly again

Durüm was not good and there was too much salad and not enough meat. It also falls apart half and it tastes cheap for the price:

In short: terrible Long waiting time, meat was only with fat and gristle, fries were raw, service was catastrophic

Terrible service, cold food, cold soup, they brought the soup cold twice. Döner is ice cold... The servers are not very polite.

I have never "eaten" such a bad kebab plate in my entire life. Fries raw, meat only fat and gristle. The salad was the only thing edible. The service was incredibly unfriendly; when we asked to wipe the table, people looked strange at first. If you look German, you can put yourself at the back of the queue for now. Everyone else gets their food and you only get it when it's already cold. Catastrophic Update! We went to McDonalds for €10 Wife happy and me happy Belly full

Mediocre, we waited for a mixed plate for 2 people for 35 minutes. While we were eating one cutlet for two people, they were filling the garbage bags next to me. Garbage was flowing on the ground. It was the first time I went there and this was the last time. It's a pity.

We ordered kebab, should there be greens in it too? they asked. Yes, we said sheep. We had a hard time finding doner meat among the greens in the doner kebab. We literally ate vegetables. When I reported the situation to the employee they said that if I had been told before the meal we would have changed it. Do we need to open the doner kebab and check if there is meat? Product quality was mediocre, response to customer complaints was very rude.

So goooddd. The place is a bit crowded as it is very near to the massive cathedral. The food we had was very good. Can't remember the name but it was lamb and chicken. Also I tried Ayran for first time here. Soooo good

As a heavily pregnant woman, I was shown the door after 20 on a very cold winter day after telling the waiter several times that I was waiting for my partner, with whom I would have lunch here, and just wanted to have something to drink while I waited . Absolutely misogynistic store.

I can't say the food is bad, but a lady inside talks like she almost beat the car, and she kicked out the men at the next table to justify herself. He says wait in line and when his acquaintances arrive, he puts them first. I think it is doing business because of its location. If the disrespect is also improved, it could be great because disrespect is ahead of taste.

If you want to eat a good pizza with your family on your day in Cologne, receive terrible service and almost ruin your trip, this is the perfect place! Everything good in Cologne can be found right outside the door of this restaurant. The staff served us terribly that day, in a bad mood and disinterestedly. A table with 4 adults and 3 children, we only ordered pizza and soft drinks for the children, we didn't create any mess or chaos. They brought drinks. They didn't even open the lids and didn't bring any jars. They brought the pizzas. They didn't bring any dishes. We asked for sauce, they gave us 1. With the slightest desire to oblige. We got out of there as quickly as possible. If you're looking for a good Turkish restaurant with helpful staff who wait tables without looking like they've just lost their wallet or had an argument at home, look for a competitor. Avoid this place. The food was great, they know how to cook.

Very very bad service and bad food. I ordered and got something completely different, when I said this I was looked at so stupidly and they wanted me to eat it anyway because it was prepared. I declined and we left! Was very angry because they didn't accept their own mistake!!!! Never never again!!!!!!!!

Even though there were free tables in the restaurant, I wasn't allowed to sit at the cash register after ordering. The reason was that I ‘ordered before sitting down’. This behavior gave me a very unpleasant experience. I think more attention should be paid to customer satisfaction.

The doner kebab was very dry and burnt, and it wasn't very tasty.

Food was delicious. Staff was so rude, not happy with service

I like the meat it is well spiced. They have a spacious place as well

Disaster! Yufka for 8 EIGHT! EURO!! Service was a disgrace, instead of real menus there were only flyers, which is not appropriate for a restaurant! Then a waitress came and started taking our order, but then just left in between. When the 3 of us got the food after only a short time (despite the restaurant being full) the Yufka was not fresh at all and was hard! Only the meat (veal) was ok. The drinks came (unusual in restaurants) without a glass and only in cans and bottles. We were already being watched while we were eating and when we were finished an employee came and rudely asked us if we could finally leave so that other guests could come. Never again! We then paid at the checkout and they miscalculated, instead of drinks over €30 we only paid €22. Due to the lousy service and food, I didn't correct that either!

Kebab doesn't taste good, simple tasteless chicken sandwich. It's expensive with little meat. But employees are friendly.

8€ for a tiny, cold and dry Dürrum. I really hope that I was just unlucky that evening and that it was an isolated incident!

Shitty welcome Department 0 Tasteless food I have doubts about Halal

Worst donor not even close to the real one.

Bad service, rude workers. Döner 👎 I don't recommend it.

DONER TASTELESS! Worst service ever! Really rude. They treat costumers as numbers not human beings. I would not recommned it to anyone

The food was tasteless. The behavior of the people working there was very rude.
