Kilim Restaurant in Köln

For me one of the best areas in Cologne where you can eat original Turkish cuisine. The four of us dined there. We know the positive hospitality of the Turks, but this is missing here. Unfriendly and arrogant employees. Starters, main courses and dessert were ordered. The main course was served first, then the starters and some dishes were forgotten. The soups were horrible. The meat in the soup was 🤮🤮🤮🤮 we told the cellar about this but we were ignored. The rest of the dishes were also a 3 out of 10. We've been there three times in the last two years and always the same. We've eaten there a lot in the past few years and thought that once or twice we'd eat it. After three times in a row it doesn't work. There are dozens of Turkish restaurants on the street where you can have delicious food. When you go out to eat, I don't pay attention to the wallet but rather the food and the quality = a successful evening

Correct my review: The meat in the kebab is very tasty and juicy, the presentation of the dishes has improved extremely and the lahmacun are simply from another world. Crispy, juicy, mild or spicy - both are available. Sometimes I dream about the Lahmacuns... 😵‍💫 I removed the ugly photo, as soon as I have a nice one I'll upload it.. 😇

Unfortunately, Kilim is no longer what it used to be, the soups have become worse, the lahmacuns are by no means what they used to be, that was really the last time I was there, no more comments...

Been visiting this store for over 20 years and have never found it as bad as it was last night. From the beginning to the end end. What kind of waiters are they and what kind of service is this? Sorry but not at first!!! Paranla Rezil olmak denir buna!!!

I was there with my nephews and they were treated so sweetly 😊 the food was very tasty. I had a dough minced meat boat. A huge thing for only €10.60

The food tasted very good. The prices are okay.

Very good food and great hospitality

Simply great for years. Super nice service, super clean and very good food.

Best lachnacun in Cologne would recommend to everyone

By the time the food arrives, the hunger has died

Sunflower bowl in the Lahmacun is not possible

The food is really delicious. But the service is honestly a disaster, it was by far the worst service I've ever received anywhere. It's a real shame. This ruined the visit. And in the end, after leaving a lot of money, not even a cay was offered. I don't know that. But the waiter hardly showed up anyway. Been there so many times but we won't be back

Quality is not a coincidence. A great place with very delicious food and friendly staff. I recommend it to everyone...

There were four of us here today. Unfortunately I have to say that the food felt like it was one of the worst. Negatives: - the rice - the bulgur - the meze only tasted like paprika paste - the salad had no dressing, just a lot of oil - the Tavuk Şiş Positive: - Kuzu Pirzola was good.

I was at rush hour because the staff was a bit overwhelmed. But otherwise everything is OK.

We ate lahmacun and pita, it was delicious and everything else looked good too. It is obvious that it is a good place, preferred by those waiting in line at the door. I thought the prices were reasonable

The quality has remained the same for years. Top restaurant. Best lahmacun!

Top food, can only be recommended

Today, as a family, we went to the kilim restaurant in Keupstr, Cologne. Unfortunately, a salad was requested in the order, but let's see, the service and presentation requires a thousand witnesses to say salad, that's why I won't pass by it again. If we are that many customers, the service quality should be good, but unfortunately the same one should be received in the orders I requested. Zero Quality Zero Service is Regret Kilim Restaurant!!!!

Very tasty, TOP service, very nice

Very tasty and authentic Turkish/Arabic restaurant. The food is freshly prepared and grilled. All dishes offered are traditionally cooked. In other words: grilled skewer dishes and braised dishes dominate the menu. Price/performance ratio is great. Any time.

We were in Cologne today just for a concert and came across this restaurant by chance. It was really, really tasty. Compliments to the kitchen, everything was really great. Here you can get delicious, fresh, authentic cuisine. Maintain your quality and open, friendly manner, we'll be happy to come back 👌🏻

The service was careless even though there was little going on, we had to ask three times about our order because it was forgotten. It used to be better Svhade actually for development. The food (lahmacun, chicken salad, saç kavurma was unfortunately cold and dry, the soup was okay

Thank you very much, it is halal and clean, you can eat it with peace of mind.

The attention is terrible, the waiters' attitudes are not nice at all, the food is bad, the cleaning is zero... you get so much money but you don't get anything in return... If you want to be disgraced with your money, go ahead 👎

We visited Kilim with the family at the weekend. The service was top, especially the waiter Sinan was very nice and served us very well until the end. The food was excellent and delicious. I recommend the restaurant to everyone. It's worth going here just because of the Lahmacun👌🏼👌🏼👍🏻👍🏻

Sometimes it is very difficult to find a place, but lahmacun is my recommendation.

Service and friendliness zero. Just like your answer now, instead of fighting it, just attack it like in a restaurant. Other thing; It's not your job to give me other suggestions. your task should be as described.

I’ve visited this place before many times. in comparison of my experiences, the quality of customer service has gone downhill. I know the owners, who are very nice. However the waiters are putting people off this place. Refusing to communicate. The waiters wanted to give me a seat near the toilets which I refused. And then ignored me, I saw others around me being asked for chai or hand wipes and being attended to after finishing their meal. Whilst I could not even get the waiter to bring me a drink (I had to get up and go to the front till in order to serve myself). I will not be visiting again.

Best Turkish pizza in the Cologne area

Very friendly service and a nice atmosphere. The lahmacun tasted very tasty (wafer-thin, crispy dough), they are among the tastiest I have eaten, mantı also tasted very good. I was here a few times a long time ago and each time I ordered Urfa Lahmacun and Künefe. In my opinion, Urfa Lahmacun tastes best, but I really wanted to try Fındık Lahmacun today.

Delicious food tastes super delicious

For me it's the best Lahmacun I've eaten in Cologne so far. We go there once a year and it tastes great.

Recommended, I've been coming from Dortmund for 12 years to eat, always delicious, fresh, friendly, I give it 10 out of 10

The food was great, but our service was conspicuous by its absence!

Best lahmacun and best icliköfte.

Good food, Lahmacun unique Little space, always waiting time, otherwise everything was good

Food delicious, staff friendly.

It would be a great place if it weren't for the recent price increases, but it's a bit expensive now

If you want to eat well-prepared meat, this is the place for you. Great food with very good service.

Kelle paca soup was very nice. Lahmacun is also of very high quality. The service is fast. Prices are normal..

I bought so-called Adana wrap and lamb skewers, but they were both flops. If you're paying 10 Euros for this situation, let it taste and taste good. I wasn't sure if the lamb was shish kebab. Adana is dry and tastes like minced meat, so at one point I thought I was eating hamburger meat. A place I will not visit again.

We went to eat kebab on the weekend. Unfortunately, there was no soap in the toilets. They didn't put soap even though I told them to. Hygiene is really important.

It always tastes better from a charcoal grill

Kilim ist immer wieder einen Besuch wert! Wir gehen dort schon seit Jahren hin und es lohnt sich alle male! Das Essen ist der Hammer und der Service ebenso

I drive specially from Remscheid to Cologne to order a Dürüm for myself and my brother-in-law, only to be extremely disappointed in the end. The Dürüms were very, very oily, even the bag had a hole at the bottom because of the liquid and I don't even want to talk about the taste!! Disastrous service and disastrous taste. Kilim used to be number 1 on Keupstrasse but from today on I will never eat at your place again!!! What I also don't understand is why you don't put napkins in the bag and after you call you just get cheeky reactions!! Never again !!

It has been the same for years, nothing has changed, the same quality, same taste, same service, I recommend it to everyone, if you want quality, Kilim Resturant

Very tasty food and the atmosphere is also very nice

Lahmacunlar Number 10 5 Stars. I recommend.

Lahmacun is very good, I was going there just because I liked it, but I won't go anymore. Every Sunday, even though there is an empty place on the terrace, they say they have no staff, wait 2 hours and gather people in the same place.

Food was cold, cola was ordered and no Fritz Cola prices were totally overpriced, staff really wanted to go, never ever visit again

I haven't eaten here for a long time and actually expected it to be the same as it used to be. I ordered my beloved Lahmacun and was disappointed. Overall a very small portion. You had to look for the salad and Cacik too. The taste was okay even if it was extremely little. The young waiter didn't understand anything. It's a shame really At the end a young waitress came and brought us some tea and thus enhanced the visit here a bit.

Maybe the best lahmacun in town. Grilled dishes are ok. Soups and starters authentic Turkish cuisine. Unfortunately the künefe is not original. You can also order dessert from next door. My recommendation is the original Simit Katmer, very authentic, but very often sold out! The service is not always friendly because there is always a lot going on. My tip: A good mood is priceless!

Very tasty dishes. Adana and lamb skewer was excellent! The service is quite good, the ambience is also very nicely decorated. A very good shop

After 15 years as guests at the Kilim restaurant, we are ending our visits. We have often come from Duisburg and have been well served over the years. Unfortunately, the Kilim restaurant is currently changing for the worse. I noticed that there are mostly new waiters working in the restaurant. The new waiter team will be the downfall. Everyone is careless, you have to constantly raise your arm and shout, even that is ignored 😉 To pay you have to get up and run after the waiter. The waiters are very unfriendly. The big deal was that we paid and were still sitting to finish our drinks. Suddenly it happened very quickly. There were 4 waiters at the table and we were supposed to clear the table and sit somewhere else. Why didn't anyone understand? I hope the owners of the restaurant read it and look at reviews from other guests - I have read reviews that are similar. It's true that we used to have a good time in the Kilim restaurant and we also liked to drive 65 kilometers there. I think the change in the restaurant is driving some guests away. Greetings from Duisburg and good luck with the waiters.

Three of us ate here. The food tastes really excellent! Delicious and tender meat taste and great side dishes. The shop is known a lot for soups and lahmacun. Probably my new regular restaurant on Keupstr. Unfortunately, two negative points go to the service. I think it's a shame that you always have to call the waiter yourself just to order drinks. It's also a shame that the dishes weren't served at the same time but with a 5-6 minute delay. The atmosphere is very large and bright. In some places it was modern and in some places it was classic and it didn't quite fit together. Air conditioning is now desirable in hot Germany, especially in summer. Otherwise everything was great and we are always happy to come back

I got acisiz lahmacun, it was very good.

As Antepli, I have to say that the food there tastes really delicious and the lahmacun are very similar to those from Antep. Recommended!

For me it is the best restaurant on Keupstrasse. I can recommend everyone to try “Antep Lahmacun”.

I would give zero stars if it were possible. A friend and I waited for 20 minutes and not a waiter came. Our order simply wasn't taken and 4-5 waiters walked past us a thousand times. Customer service was a complete disaster!! In the end we left after 20 minutes and walked a few meters further to asmali konak with perfect service.

Our only venue in beautiful Cologne.

In Keupstr. It is always difficult to rate restaurants because the competition is very high. Personally, I think the taste of the competition is a little better. Price performance is right here. Beyti Kebab wasn't quite my cup of tea but I can recommend Sac Kavurma. But the baklava was better than anywhere else. All in all a solid shop. For me it's more like 3.5 stars than 4, but the service and prices are right and the food isn't bad at all, so a 3 star rating would be unfair.

Frankly, all of the dishes are delicious, and I recommend Orjinal Lahmacun, which is completely different...

Be sure to try Urfa Lahmacun!!!! This is the best lahmacun I have ever eaten!!!! And I've tried really, really many. Meze tastes great too. Price performance is TOP! Lentil soup was also fresh and delicious. My husband prefers Ezogelin soup, he thinks it's great. The only problem is parking spaces. It's not wheelchair accessible here; in my opinion, the entrance is too narrow.

Actually, it is very nice. I went to this place 4 times, unfortunately, I ordered 2 lahmacun on Saturday, I was not satisfied with the first one, it was burnt, it was upside down, unfortunately, I did not mean to say that it was too full, I would appreciate it if you could pay more attention. I stopped by again on Saturday and there's not much to say, it's the best lahmacun I've ever eaten and the kilim surprises me every time *****

Best Lahmacun in Cologne as well as various dough boats, but some of the employees there are really bizarre.

‼️❗️A few days ago I was visiting Cologne and by chance I went there with my girlfriend and my son, at first the condition was almost in front of us with 4/5 men, we then had to call loudly (after a few hints) for someone to come after us look! It was so narrow and it felt like the guests were sitting on top of each other, everyone was spitting on each other's plates, well we were just sitting there and didn't have much time to look for another restaurant. The food was pretty good (the meat was tough, there was a strange ball of fat in the soup that ended up in your mouth 🤮). Well, after we paid and wanted to write something down, they pretty much chased us away from our seat!!! “You have to vacate immediately for new guests!!!!” so pay for your meal and leave is their motto. I will never go there again!!! Absolutely NOT recommended ‼️❗️You had to give it one star. Then meal ❗️❗️❗️

Very nice and high quality Family Restaurant, we recommend it

The best restaurant in Cologne when it comes to lahmacun. At least until today. You should definitely order onions with sumac! Without it, something is simply missing. An Ayran should not be missing either. I would have to deduct a star for the tea... It doesn't taste that great, but it's free. That's why I give you the 5 stars. But I would like to see an improvement.

Super delicious food, Super Service, Great store

The food is very tasty and has good service

Heard a lot of good things about it but unfortunately I had to wait over 30 minutes for my Lahmacun. Stressed staff. The lahmacun dough was very thin for my taste, but baked well. The mince tasted rather average and gave the feeling as if the mince was still raw. This always happens when too many chopped vegetables have been added. I do not like it. Maybe I expected too much? However, I will go again and give Kilim another chance🙏🫶🏽

Uf these lahmacuns nh citir citir

It was all very tasty. The staff was very friendly and attentive. If I could I would give 10 stars.

Visited late in the evening after a concert. You could also have been in Istanbul with a few tourists from Cologne. Or to put it another way, very authentic. The food was delicious, even if one dish took a little too long on the grill. Prices were okay. The highlight was the service. We had ordered an appetizer in advance and then grilled dishes, to which the waiter pointed out that the grilled dish included an appetizer. This would probably not have been done in most other restaurants. The double tea at the end rounded off the good impression.

I can only recommend the Lahmacuns.

Probably not because there are better restaurants in the area.

I say to put beef in my kebab, he puts lamb in it. Horror

Very tasty and super nice service

It's super tasty, but every time you calculate it differently or whatever you want. I have two cola plus two adana menu extra two grilled lamb dishes, as shown in the picture.

Highly Recommended! Great service, lovely people, great food. We are full, happy, excited :-)

Super tasty selection, especially the Lahmacun / Turkish pizza is freshly prepared! The food here is of very high quality and the meat in particular tastes very good. You will be warmly welcomed, warmly served and warmly farewell! Definitely come here again! PS: I would recommend everyone to also visit the Kilim bakery next door!

The gentleman in the entrance area was very overwhelmed. Almost shouted at us… very rude and went straight back out without eating

Very tasty lahmacun, freshly baked... the shop was very full.

Unfortunately the service is so bad. I wanted to have tea with my lahmacun and we ordered a main course afterwards. We told 4 different waiters this and none of them brought us tea. There was a couple sitting at our neighboring table who even said that we had ordered tea for a while and no tea came again. Our food has now been eaten and no tea can be seen in the picture. So outrageous. The waiter with a bigger stomach and a longer beard and taller looked at us stupidly and with a decisive tone instead of just being polite. You get scared and can't even order something politely. The waiters should have manners and learn how to work in service!!! 😡 despite the fact that I always came to this restaurant from further away because of the Lahmacun! - that was my last time!!

For Lahamagun the best is nothing more

The best Turkish food is here. Truly the best in Germany

Either it became very expensive or I was deducted: 3x Lahmacun with lemon, parsley, kohlrabi 2x still water in 0.5 bottles for 25 euros...

Has dropped a lot and doesn't care about the guests like they used to

Very tasty and friendly service Nice ambience

The food was good. Especially its ayran is very nice. A bit crowded but nice atmosphere.

A very nice Turkish restaurant with some extremely tasty food. I can recommend the Lahmacun and the grill dishes to everyone.

Despite overcrowding and a long wait at the door, it was worth it. The food came quickly. The team really does a top job. The food is very tasty. The price is right

Never again!!Food poisoning from chicken soup

For me the best restaurant on Keupstrasse. The food is fresh every time, delicious! The prices are fair and the plates and portions are generous. Staff is extremely attentive and friendly. I like coming here! Keep it up!!👍🏼

Cologne, Germany is a nice place where you can find the flavors closest to the Turkish palate. The attention of the employees and the environment make you feel like you are in Turkey. But you cannot find the taste in Turkey here. It would be a big mistake to compare them anyway. I think it has something to do with the breed and nutrition of the animals raised here. (Meat is not tasty in many places here)

For me, Kilim was actually the only location where I had ever eaten on Keupstrasse. The last time was before Corona. Now after Ramadan, on the first day of our Feast of Sacrifice. It wasn't even that crowded. I ordered antep lahmacun. It's a little bigger than normal and very sharp. Taste 👌. There were four of us there. My daughter ate pide with sucuk. She was satisfied and said she had had better pide. My husband ordered Adana and my son ordered Beyti. Both totally disappointed. Both about the portion size and the taste. What was really bad for me was that all the dishes weren't served together. Horror! I got my Lahmacun, my husband and son were almost finished!!!! Now for the ambience. We first walked through to the back area, where the ambience is a little better than the entrance area. But then we got up again because it smelled really bad of raw meat. Everything is very tightly packed. Cutlery is brought to the table with napkins and simply laid out; you can distribute it yourself! Same with the drinks. Waiters are very friendly but they are not experts. The crowning finale was tea. Incomprehensible!!! It wasn't drinkable. Never been offered tea like this before. We were really really disappointed. I've been going to Kilim for 21 years until Corona, whenever I go out to eat on Keupstrasse. Now I don't even go there anymore. Sad 😞

I can only recommend they have super fresh and delicious baklavas.

When we went for dinner they turned us away. Even though all the tables were empty and iftar time was still 2 hours away, they told us in a very rude manner that they would not serve us food because we said we would eat and wake up before iftar. In short, a restaurant that refuses to serve food because we are not fasting. We will never come again.

Service attentive, food good and freshly prepared. Good selection of Turkish dishes that are authentically prepared. You only notice too much of what's going on in the store if you sit in the middle or towards the front; it's much quieter in the back area.
