LyLy in Köln

Really bad behaviour from the waiter. Did not come to take the order.

Greeted well and the service continued throughout. Food that was tasty and well portioned with a decent menu size. Recommend for good hearty no thrills dining in the Alter Markt.

Extremely good and absolutely fantastic lamb dishes 😍

Incredible atmosphere. The food, service and music were amazing, thank you for everything, Lyly.

We had a great evening with delicious 😋 food. Next time we'll also get to live music. Thank you for the great evening.

The food was fresh and had so much flavor!! Service was also great! Highly recommend!

A great location to sit and relax with some beautiful food. The service was fast and friendly, the menu had a good variety of choice and offered good value for money. The food was authentic, fresh, flavourful very tasty,

"A real taste experience! Every dish impresses with fresh ingredients, fine flavors and is served with great attention to detail. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, ideal for switching off and enjoying. The location is perfect for a relaxing break in between. There is also a professional and warm service that makes the visit unforgettable. This restaurant is an absolute must!

Excellent food and service 👌....

Good food, nice terrace. Friendly service

The food we all had was very good. All the staff were very welcoming and provided excellent customer service. Recommend

There were four of us there and we basically had fun... ate a lot (3 courses) and drank a lot... with the food, it was ok... but nothing more... A little more attention from the waiters would be appropriate here. In some cases drinks were not brought and side dishes were forgotten. The live music and location were great…

Because the food was so praised, it was like everywhere else. There was nothing special, not even in taste. I had these meatballs with rice and a tomato sauce. I don't normally eat the side salad but it was okay. To quote my father, the main thing is that the nutritional value is right. The cellarer was completely overwhelmed with the order. But we were also a large group.

We had an awful experience at Lyly. We had diner on the terrasse and my guest bag (with phone and passport) was stolen by a pickpocket. We immediately asked for the waiter assistance but he basically yelled at me saying it was not his problem and he was too busy. Her colleague was more polite and said they would call the police for us and check on their security camera. The waiter yelled at her too for this and on several other occasions, it really looked like he had a mental disorder... They kept us waiting for 45mn until we found out that they never actually called... We left to go to the closest police station without any word or any support of any kind, just anger words in German from the guy... Cherry on the top, when I paid (230€ for 6 for average Turkish food) I realized they over charged me 12€ for extra service (!!). They tried to take advantage of the situation as we were anxious to find a solution for our friend. I had to argue to get a refund... I travel a lot, I think I rarely saw such bad hosting and rudeness in a restaurant. I would definitely not recommend the place.

A very nice restaurant 2 minutes from the river and the Cathedral. The food is perfect whatever you choose, my recommendation is the steak in mushroom sauce with potatoes and green salad. The staff is very friendly and you won't have to wait long for your meal. Any recommendation for this restaurant which is the only one with cushions on the chairs and you will be comfortable!

Super delicious food and very nice operator. Gladly again! 👏👏👏

Contrary to what was previously mentioned, good food for a competitive price. We tried 2 schnitzels, the Wiener and the one with mushroom sauce. Both were delicious with plenty of fries and vegetables. In our opinion, highly recommended

Very friendly staff and the food was delicious and affordable. Nicely seasoned and tender meat. Only the fries were a bit salty

For an evening with musical accompaniment it's actually quite ok, but unfortunately the food is not recommended - we're just talking about very simple dishes here... By the way, the starters have absolutely nothing to do with the originals from Turkey, some of them were unfortunately inedible...

Food was satisfactory. Came to the table quickly. Service very friendly. Price/performance is okay for Cologne city center. Thank you, gladly again.

The drink prices have taken off

We enjoyed a Turkish evening and can only report positively about the live music. The facilities are actually nice, but unfortunately very neglected/unkempt. The lady (probably the boss) didn't care. The food (meatballs) was very hard, the rice was also too grainy and hard, must have been left in the pot for a long time. Dede salad just as boring. Everything was simply slapped onto the plate very carelessly, for a lot of money. If you do it again, then it's better to eat somewhere else first!

I recently visited the Lyly restaurant at the Alter Markt in Cologne and was amazed by the fantastic live music and the beautiful ambience. The food was delicious and the service excellent. It was an unforgettable evening and I can highly recommend this restaurant. My own experience at the Lyly restaurant was very positive. The atmosphere created by the live music and the friendly staff made my visit a real highlight. A visit to the Lyly restaurant is definitely worth it and exceeds all expectations and leaves nothing to be desired!

The night we spent at Club Lyly was truly amazing. The food was great, and the restaurant's management and service were extremely customer-oriented. The quality of live music was outstanding. I would especially like to express my special thanks to Aykut Sahin. He gave a terrific performance and was definitely a center of attraction for many restaurant guests. I definitely recommend both the restaurant, the music and especially the artist Aykut Sahin.

We went with great enthusiasm and left with even greater disappointment, and the behavior of Mr. Aykut that caused this was extremely surprising. As a group that went to live music, naturally we were there to have fun. It is very wrong for him to blame his inability to adapt and concentrate on the stage to us, the audience. It was interesting that he was talking bad at our table where we were chatting with our friends, asking us to request songs, but not singing the songs, or even reading only a few bunches of all the songs, drinking raki and forgetting to perform on stage. The orchestra was very disturbing. I definitely do not recommend it.

Mr. Aykut is definitely an incredibly disrespectful gentleman. Enough to tell customers who came to have fun to be quiet... I strongly recommend that the business reconsider its relationship with this employee. Otherwise, Mr. Aykut's disrespect is very humiliating for the business.

We left the place immediately due to Mr. Aykut's rude behavior that offended people. Disappointment for business. I do not recommend.

Average all round. Food was okay. Nothing special. Pricing is high, but in line with the locality.

Just been there for live music! ELSE given the prices and food quality is not recommended Service always tried hard. Please pay attention and compare the bill and what was served!

Best drinks an food. Great atmosphere- best host

Great place, food was fantastic and very welcoming for the visiting Scots. Thank you

The musicians are excellent, especially Ms. Aynur. As a woman, you can party here and drink alcoholic beverages without hesitation. I felt very well. I can recommend it to others.

Went there spontaneously with two friends on a day trip to Cologne. Definitely recommended, the food was very tasty and we didn't have to wait long for it. The atmosphere is very cozy and the service was very friendly. The prices are reasonable despite the good location. We will definitely keep this in mind and it is highly recommended.

Friendly service, terrace in a beautiful spot. The food was good. Excellent price-quality ratio.

The quality of the food used to be better.

Good treatment and good food, plus with the language they make an effort to help you choose food, I will definitely recommend it again. They have a barbecue with lamb, chicken and beef skewers, and a hamburger with rice along with a salad, the perfect combination if you are not very hungry. for two and then a dessert and continue seeing the city, which is beautiful by the way, photo of the desserts, otherwise we are very hungry 😅

I had dinner at LyLy with the family. I really wanted to eat Turkish and was looking forward to the real Turkish cuisine. But unfortunately I'm disappointed, rather more German cuisine lamb skewers, rice and salad wasn't as real as we know it from Turkish gastronomy. Second time we ordered drinks and didn't get them. Service could be better. In the north, Turkish restaurateurs try harder and are extremely friendly and attentive.

The restaurant was very pleasant. We came here by accident and we don't regret it. The food is very good, the atmosphere is very cozy. Great service. I highly recommend it.

Sorry but it has worn off... Service is nice and friendly as always but I can't get enough of it. The portions are getting smaller and the noodles are drowned in sauce. The shop is covered in dust, which is of course noticeable with extremely black furniture. Glue the tables... A few years ago we went there at least three times a month, but now we were very disappointed.

We were spontaneous today and got a spot without any problems. The food was delicious and it didn't take long. The price is really fair and the service is very attentive and friendly. We had a good meal there and would love to come back when we are in Cologne.

German food. Nice place, it seems that some days they play live music. Near cathedral.

Very friendly staff, I didn't have to wait long for the food. The food was delicious and the place with live music, I recommend it!

I was surprised that according to Google you go to a Turkish restaurant but the menu also said currywurst or tarte flambée. The Turkish food was very good and matched the ambience perfectly

Ended up here last night because the train to Munich was delayed by 5 hours, but I wasn't alone, there was a young Brazilian woman who also had the same problems as me, but it was very pleasant and it was there until after 3 a.m. Open

Great place within walking distance of Cologne Cathedral. As someone who has just left the place, it is a place that can be visited again and again for the delicious food, friendly service and Cologne local beer. I would also like to thank Ms. Sevgi for her friendly attention. It is recommended to everyone who comes to Cologne, it is the only place for excellent delicious food 👍

The food is bad, the service preferred to be on their cell phones and the location didn't seem particularly clean.

My dinner, lamb with rice, was very tasty. Peter's Kölsch too. Was here again for dinner, still great. Great food and Kölsch too. Recommended.

Çok samimi bir mekan çalışanları sıcakkanlı ve ilgili yemekleri oldukça lezzetli ve fiyatları çok uygun Biz tatil için Hannover’den gelmiştik ve çok keyifli bir yemekti bu restoran için birdaha gelinir

I promised to write a review, which was some time ago. Actually I have to write two reviews, one as a mother with children and one as part of a large group. I give Late Afternoon with Children an average and honest 4 stars. No children's meals on the menu and a relatively dark atmosphere. We ate schnitzel, pizza and salad... everyone was full and no one left unsatisfied. The assessment looks completely different as part of the annual Christmas party in the evening. The atmosphere here is right, the house dishes (40-46 and 90-93) are terrific and the boss is a wonderful person who is a pleasure to listen to. Conclusion: you can never please everyone all the time, but you don't have to.

Very good food in a nice atmosphere

Waren gestern zum ersten Mal da . War echt beeindruckt. Die Sängerin Seren war echt sehr sehr gut ! Hammer stimme !! Vielen lieben Dank für den schönen Abend

Live Musik 🎵 war super und wir hatten wirklich einen sehr schönen gelungenen Abend.

Fantastic restaurant. We were looking for somewhere to eat and this was close to our hotel and relatively empty as we needed a table for 7. The service was excellent and the food simply delicious and all cooked fresh. The Pistachio desert was outstanding

Niet heel bijzonder eten wel echt lekker maar niet bijzonder. Wel een aanrader voor de prijs maar niet speciaal en het bier was wat dood

ドイツのレストランは、テーブルに対してウェイターが少ないお店が結構あって、注文を取りに来たり食事の提供が遅いのもよくあります。 ただここはウェイターたちの機嫌も追加されるので、かなりサービスにむらがありました。ドイツ旅行で唯一、人種差別を感じたお店でした。本当に残念です。

Sehr Leckeres Essen und nette Bedienung!

Man wird hier sehr gut bedient, dad Essen ist schmackhaft und auch nicht zu teuer. 100% Weitermpfehlung

Accueil sympathique. Excellent repas servi rapidement. Bonne ambiance.

En visite pour le marché de Noël nous sommes entrée dans ce restaurant. Très bien servi et très bon .Prix très correct. Par contre ATTENTION bizarrement n accepte que le paiement en liquide. 2 autres familles françaises ont eux le même tour . Nous n'avions pas de liquide il a fallut insister et finalement l appareil paiement en carte et apparu . Bizarre

Ein gelungener Abend im LyLy, schaut euch die Fotos an, das Essen war hervorragend drei mal Steaks medium gegrillt. Perfekt auf den Punkt. Das Steak mit dem Grillgemüse gab es zweimal mit den Pommes einmal wie im Original der Karte. Das um bestellen der Pommes zu Grillgemüse war kein Problem und es wurden keine weiteren Kosten dafür berechnet. Dies ist äußerst selten, herzlichen Dank dafür. Das Service Personal war sehr aufmerksam. Beim nächsten Köln Besuch besuchen wir euch wieder.

Food is overpriced. €9 for a bottle of water available for €1 in grocery (I even googled to double check it). The waitress pretends to do not understand what is a tap water even when it was told in German. I’m disappointed.

Rundum toll!! Jederzeit wieder. Danke an das ganze Team

Top Mitarbeiter heute an dem Abend !!!

Sehr schönes Restaurant .....sehr leckeres Essen Bedienung war sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Sehr zu empfehlen wir kommen gerne wieder

Leider kann ich es selbst nicht weiterempfehlen. Essen geschmacklich 3,5 Sterne. Preis gegenüber den Portionen zu teuer. Denke da wird es genug Alternativen geben.

Der Burger 🍔 war sehr lecker 😋 und frisch zubereitet das Personal sehr freundlich 😊 nur 1⃣ Chili 🌶 Cheese Burger war bestellt und kaum bis nicht scharf gewesen 😔. Geschmack war aber trotzdem super daumen hoch. Alles Behinderten gerecht Toilette 🚽 leider nicht kontrolliert da nicht musste. Gruß aus dem Bergischen. Greet from germany near cologne.

4 Personen kann ich allein Essen amk. Mit der Bedienung red ich nicht mehr. Der hat mich angelogen. Ich fetz mir jz ein Döner der macht zumindest satt.

Würden die Gerichte 30% weniger kosten, würden sicher 4 Sterne ok seien. Leider reicht das bei tief in Bratöl schwimmenden Hähnchenbrocken mit einer Microportion Reis und sehr trockenem Fleisch auf dem Grillteller nicht für mehr als 3 Sterne, auch angesichts einer Rechnung von über 50€ für beides incl. zwei mal Wasser.

Eins meiner Lieblingsrestaurants in Köln: leckeres Essen & tolle Atmosphäre! 5 Sterne ❣️

Harika müzikler var ama inanılmaz havasız bir klimaya ihtiyaç var bence

Ich habe nichts erwartet und den besten Grillteller meines Lebens bekommen! Das Kotelett war ein Träumchen! Service und Ambiente top!!

Wir hatten das Schnitzel mit Champignon - Rahm. Die Soße, Pommes und Salat waren lecker. Das Schnitzel war grauenvoll. Paniertes Pressfleisch aus der Verpackung. Dafür über 18€. Sehr frech !! Getränke musste man sich die ganze Zeit selbst erarbeiten, kein guter Service .

Putensteak mit Kräuterbutter, Rosmarinkartoffeln und Salat, Cheeseburger, Essen war Top! Personal sehr freundlich. Sehr schöne Lage, in der Nähe von allen Sehenswürdigkeiten.

Ausgezeicheter Fleischteller gegrillt, schönes Ambiente am Altermarkt,

Das Essen war leider unterirdisch. Für knapp 20€ ein „Burger“ mit etwas Kartoffelecken und Salat. Der Burger war ein weiches Brötchen mit etwas Fleisch und Soße. -Schlecht Die Kartoffelecken waren zu lange in der Fritteuse. -Schlecht Salat hatte kein Biss und das Dressing war sehr säuerlich. -Schlecht Die Bedienung war unhöflich und hat sehr wenig Deutsch verstanden. 2x wurde mit Karte bezahlt und 1x mit Bargeld und es gab kein Rückgeld zurück Erst als man sie darauf aufmerksam gemacht hat. Als wir es angesprochen haben, dass es uns nicht gefallen und geschmeckt hat gab es von der Bedienung keinerlei Reaktion. -Schlecht Anders gesagt Nein danke es gibt genug andere Möglichkeiten um zu Speisen und zu Trinken

Es war zu voll. Die Bedienung zu beschäftigt und insgesamt sehr ungemütlich.

Şarkıcı Selen hanım gecemizi mahvetti. Hem saatlerce bekletti hem de müşterilerle tartışmaya girdi, inanılmaz halâ şoktayım.

Paramızla rezil olduk. Saat sekiz buçukta canlı müzik var dendi fakat yaklaşık bir buçuk saat sonra başladı, nezaketen bir içki ikram edilecekti fakat edilmediğinde ve hesabı öderken onunda parasını alırdık dendi. Yani moralimiz yeterince düşmemiş gibi doğum günü olan arkadaşıma sanatçı tarafından ulu orta neden suratınız asık sormasının hakkı yok. İşletme olarak çalışanlardan böyle tepki alacağımızı tahmin etmezdim. Ayrıca ‘mindestverzehr’ olayı da çok gereksiz… Yemek konusunda , meze tabağı güzeldi ama ‘grillteller’ biraz uyduruktu , iki kişilik kesinlikle değildi .. Köln’de böyle bir yer var diye seviniyorduk ama davranış şekli hiç güzel değildi, mecbur kalmadıkça gitmeyin.

Ich kann mich nicht erinnern, wann ich mir die Mühe gemacht habe, eine negative Bewertung abzugeben. Missverständnisse können immer auftreten und zu Verspätungen kann es natürlich auch kommen, entscheindnd dabei ist aber der Ton miteinander. Ich war lange genug Kellnerin und weiß, wie stressig der Umgang mit Gästen sein kann. Wir haben den Geburstag meiner Freundin feiern wollen. Als wir unser Bedauern ausgesprochen haben, dass die Sängerin sich um einige Stunden verspätet, hat der Kellner uns als nette Geste ein Getränk aufs Haus angeboten. Haben wir letztendlich nicht bekommen, was natürl. kein Problem gewesen wäre, wenn die Sängerin während ihres Auftritts meine Freundin nicht versucht hätte, vor allen bloßzustellen, nur weil sie ehrlich ihre Meinung kundgetan hat, nachdem sie darauf angesprochen wurde, wieso sie nicht mitmache. Ihre Art sich zu entschuldigen ist sehr von oben herab, während ihrer Entschuldigung erwartet sie unmittelbar Empathie von der Gegenseite. Wir haben wirklich nichts erwartet, man hat uns bewusst falsch verstanden und vor allen ins Lächerliche gezogen. Sehr schade!

Ben bir hizmet alıyorsam karşılığında ne kadar ödediğimin 10 veya 100€ hiçbir önemi yok; o hizmeti layığıyla almak benim hakkım ve hiç kimse bana bunu bir lütufmuş gibi sunamaz. Gitmeden önce sahne alan kişiyi sorun, Selen hanımsa asla tavsiye etmiyorum 🙅‍♀️ Saat 8:30dan itibaren live müzik olacağı söylendi fakat sözde sanatçı Selen hanım 22:45de mekana teşrif ettiler. Sakin sakin içkisini yudumladıktan sonra sahneye lütfettiler. 4 şarkı sonrasında yarım ağız kusura bakmayın dedi ve devam etti. Garsonlardan hesap istememize rağmen oturun dendi. Doğum günümü mahfettiği için doğal olarak moralimiz bozuldu ve şarkılara eşlik etmedik. Bunun üzerine mikrofonla tepeden konuşarak birebir benimle tartışmaya girdi. Ben neden negatif bir şekilde oturuyormuşum, sözde sadece yarım saatcik geç kalmışmış. Hiç kimse benimle bu şekilde küçük düşürmek amacıyla konuşamaz bunu denerse de cevabını alır. Lyly’ye zaten yemek için değil canlı müzik için gidilirdi ama onu da beceremediler ❌

Tek kelime ile harika bir mekan, personel ilgili, herşey tertemiz ve karışık ızgarasını kesinlikle bir tadın derim zira bir aşçı herhalde bir eti ancak bu kadar lezzetli pişirebilir. Bence her açıdan güzel mekan...

Super freundlich und sehr lecker.

Super türkisches Essen... Service top.... Nur zu empfehlen.... Preis / Leistung passt

Sehr leckere original türkische Gerichte. Der Vorspeisenteller ist hervorragend, die gefüllte Aubergine ein Genuss und das Dessert (hmmmm lecker). Wir waren schon öfters hier und waren vom Essen und Service immer begeistert.

Lovely Turkish food - great lunch of small mezze plates. 3 between 2 people was plenty to eat. Friendly and welcoming.

Only our table did not come to take our order. Why is it that other customers' orders were taken? We saw a waiter lady and a man at the bar counter, but she was the only one who took the orders. She kept ignoring us and kept taking other customers' orders. At first we waited for her, thinking it was because she was busy, but after waiting for over 15 minutes we realized this was ignoring us. We had to leave the restaurant without eating anything. If they don't want to serve Asians, they should just not let us in the restaurant. All we did was sit down, decide on the menu and wait for our order, nothing else. We even asked if we could take our seats, so they shouldn't have been so childish as to ignore us. It was really unpleasant and a waste of time. I have been to many different cities in Germany on this trip and this is my only and worst memory of this restaurant.

Prima terras, erg gastvrij. Curryworst en frietjes. Niet de echte curryworst, maar prima te doen. Dressing op de salade is erg veel en niet zo lekker. Prima om toch lekker de toerist uit te hangen

The food is so delicious, the service is good and the ambiance is beautiful.

This has a good service and food. Thank you.

I would greatly recommend! Great steak and schnitzel (and other dishes), very friendly and flexible waiter. We were a group of 8 and just had to come back for a second dinner. Menu is also in English and knowing German is not a requirement :-) toilets and other areas are clean, food is great, service is awesome: what more could you need? Do visit this place! Special lamb dish was not so special as you would think, otherwise really great. Kitchen is open quite late.

Das Essen ist der Hammer!Egal was und die Preise mega günstig finde ich. Bedienungen alle sehr nett

Mit Freunden kann man sich hier sehr gut treffen und hat die Wahl drinnen oder auf der Terrasse zu platzieren. Für die Menschen welche die orientalische Küche mögen haben eine reichliche Auswahl. Dazu auch eine gute Auswahl von Getränken. Immer wieder kehre ich hier gerne ein.

Der Burger war furztrocken und für den Preis leider unter aller Kanone. Das Patty hatte die Konsistenz einer Damenhandtasche und geschmacklich hatte das Ganze leider auch überhaupt nichts zu bieten. Die 10 kaputt fritierten Kartoffelstücke und der Salat haben es irgendwie auch nicht so wirklich raus gerissen. Die Bedienung war zu allem Überfluss auch sehr wortkarg und reichlich wenig daran interessiert, ob es geschmeckt hat oder nicht...

Pizza salami and Margherita 10/10 perfectly thin crust and a great tomato sauce as a backing

Pyszne jedzenie i bardzo miła obsługa

Entrée impeccable , viandes mix grillées extra , snitzell sauce champi 10/10, dommage que schnitzell et calamars, pas fait maison mais quand même très bon et super sympas

Super Essen. Vorspeisenplatte und hauptgang gab es nix zu meckern. Alles frisch. Weiter so.

Der preis für einen bürger (17,90€) Fine ich unverschämt teuer dafür das so wenig geboten wird. Bei mc donalds hätte ich wahrscheinlich mehr bekommen. Die pommes war nicht qualitativ der salat bestand aus grünsalat eine tomate und einer gurke! Reine touristen abzocke aber für mich als gebürtigen kölner war es das erste und das letzte mal in dieser abzockstube. Service war gut. Aber der preis leistungsverhältnis ist die reinste abzocke ich empfehle keinem dort zu essen!!

Super freundliches Personal!! Ich denke ich übertreibe nicht wenn ich sage, dass es das beste Türkische essen in der Region ist und da stimmt sogar meine türkische Schwiegermama zu :) Ich danke euch!!
