male'ma in Aachen

As expected from a small German town, there was a lot of lamb! I came in hungry, and it was so nice that they gave me bread and salad right away. The bread and three sauces that they put in it are delicious even when eaten with meat. I like pide, so I ordered it, and it was delicious like the ones I eat in Türkiye, and the lamb was delicious with a smoky flavor.

Heel lekker gegeten, snelle en super aardige bediening. Goede verse gerechten en grote porties zeker een aanrader😊👍🏼

A pleasant Turkish restaurant. Delicious falafel, kebabs, etc. There was no Turkish coffee.

Very tasty food and a pleasant atmosphere. The kebab meat blew me away – excellent meat quality! 👍

Super tasty food and super nice staff! Price-performance ratio fits, highly recommended!

Turkish cuisine at its best. We were attracted to this restaurant because of the very good reviews it already had. And we only have good things to add: friendly service, original Turkish cuisine (that's exactly how it tastes in Istanbul, Ankara and Antalya) and quite large quantities. A poem - anyone who loves Turkish food will feel at home there!

Dieses Restaurant zog uns an durch die bereits bestehenden sehr guten Bewertungen. Und denen haben wir nur Gutes hinzuzufügen: Freundliche Bedienung, original türkische Küche (genau so schmeckt es auch in Instanbul, Ankara und Antalya) und recht grosse Mengen. Ein Gedicht - wer türkisches Essen liebt, wird sich dort wohlfühlen!

Best restaurant in Europe, really tasty, good quality, everything arranged down to the last detail, baklava tea, salad, fish, everything is very good, really tasty and clean and the service is very nice

Very nice to have a dinner here

An absolutely belly-buster of deliciousness! Great restaurant experience that started with the loveliest of waitresses. I don’t know who was happier, us to be smelling such yummy food or the waitress greeting us. Despite the restaurant being busy the staff weren’t phased. Not the put on face of someone hoping desperately for the end of the shift, but the smile of someone who is happy you’re enjoying the experience. The food… oh the food! I only managed a photo of the main because the minute the starter hit the table we tucked in like a pride of lions. The shared starter alone was a meal in itself and had my mouth watering. Then the main came and we all sat back in silence for a minute or two to admire the culinary behemoth before us. I’m pretty certain it had its own gravitational pull! Then, dig in we did, never wanting it to end. Spoiler alert, we didn’t finish the whole thing. My belt and trouser elastic couldn’t take any more! The whole meal was positive, and so too was the price. We had the shared meal for 4 that on first glance at €105 seemed pricy. But that included an endless supply of naan breads and dips, a humongous starter, the fabled main, baklava dessert and black tea to finish. All-in-all, I’d have expected to pay twice as much as I did. Give this place a try. Your belly might regret it, but you won’t ;) Enjoy!

The service is really attentive, everything is super quick and friendly. The food was very tasty, but the portions aren't exactly huge in relation to the price (but not tiny either!). Unfortunately, the atmosphere is something in between a snack bar and a restaurant. In order to be really comfortable, the worn furnishings would have to be renewed and the entrance door, despite the lock, caused a strong draft as soon as someone came in or left the restaurant.

I came here after hearing very good stories and wanted to see for myself whether they were true. It did not disappoint. We both had the lentil soup. (forgot photo) this was very tasty! After this a Turkish pizza with everything on it and a pide. The dough was homemade, you can just taste it! Friendly staff and a good atmosphere! We would love to come again more often! Update February 13 We came with 4 people. We opted for the 3 courses for 4 people for 105 euros. We were not disappointed! It was delicious!! The starter plate/ main course were excellent. Portions more than enough! Dessert could have been a little more elaborate, perhaps a little more decorated? Furthermore, service is great! And atmosphere was good too. We had a very nice evening! Tip! A warming plate! For such a large portion of meat, a warming plate is a very good idea! This way you can eat a little longer while the food stays nice and warm!

Very friendly staff, well-kept and nice atmosphere. You can recommend everything from the memory card.

I am not a frequent visitor to Aachen, but this will be my go-to place whenever I am in town. It offers authentic Turkish cuisine. I used to work in Istanbul, and it reminded me of my time there. The only downside is that it's cash-only.

It wasn't easy to find a place with a working kitchen in Aachen on a Friday after 10 PM, but we stumbled upon male’ma and didn’t regret it for a second. The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and quick. They brought everything on time, asked about our preferences, and even served us bread and sauces upon request. To top it off, they treated us to complimentary tea and baklava at the end. The food was delicious—Adana kebab never disappoints, and the lentil soup was absolutely fantastic!

This is my favourite Turkish restaurant in Achen. It's one of a kind. Every time I'm in this city, I don't miss the chance to eat hier. The food is delicious, but don't go there with more than 2 people without reservation. It's full.

Good Turkish food. Not a revelation, but stable. I lived in the Rothe Erde district for a long time and was spoiled for Turkish cuisine, but it's one of the best options in the city center area.

Probably the most delicious kebab in Aachen.

Incredibly delicious! We ordered three types of kebabs, lamb soup, salads, and sweet kunefe. Delivery is fast. The service is excellent. The atmosphere corresponds to the direction of the establishment. Thank you

The food is really good and the portion is big (also too big for asian like us😅). The service is excellent. There was a nice young lady who tried to translate and explain us the menu. But I looked around and everyone was very nice and friendly not only just her. I had a great time there.

Wow 🤩 soooo much and sooooo delicious 😋 I'm thrilled!!!! We had dinner with the whole family at Christmas! That was great!!! 🔝 Absolute recommendation from us! Thanks to the owners, the food was fantastic 👌

Cash only, didn't ask for tip. Lamb filet is mediocre, chicken skewer and fries are okay. Rice looks and tasts terrible.

Very good food and quite place Very good persons

The food was tasty and the portion was good, unfortunately the wafer-thin kebab meat on the grill plate got cold very quickly and the other grilled dishes also got cold because the plate was not served on a warming plate or something similar.

The food was extremely good, the service was fast, and the setting was pleasant. The portions are generous. It’s worth noting that the establishment only accepts cash payments.

Easily five stars! Super friendly and helpful staff. The location is crazy to miss, it is a smaller place but was packed with patrons. Excellent , authentic food for a reasonable price! Definitely will be back!

Nicht zu empfehlen! Essen zu teuer für die mäßige Qualität. Das vorab gereichte Fladenbrot war alt und zäh. Die dazu gereichten Brotaufstriche waren ok. Zur Vorspeise gab es wieder ein Fladenbrot, das war frisch, warm und ok. Danach haben wir auf unser Essen gewartet, gewartet ... nachdem unsere Nachbarn sich beschwert haben, wo ihr Essen bleibt und sie es danach kurzfristig bekommen hatten, haben wir auch nachgefragt. Danach dauerte es nicht mehr lange. Leider waren die Pommes nicht dabei, sondern Reis. Es wurde versprochen die Pommes nachzuliefern. Die das Hühnchen Filet war zu zäh, die gekochten Beilagen Tomate und Paprikaschote kalt, zäh und geschmacklich daher mittelmäßig. Nachdem ich mein Essen zur Hälfte gegessen hatte und die Pommes immer noch nicht da waren, bin ich selber zum Koch gegangen. Fünf Minuten Später hatte ich meine Pommes. Auf der Rechnung musste ich dann feststellen, dass mir die Pommes extra berechnen wollten. Die Bedienung war nett, aber vollkommen unprofessionell und chaotisch.

It is a cozy place with excellent service, and the food is very good.

We really enjoy eating there with the family. The staff is super friendly and very committed. We have already tried different dishes and everything tasted very good. A small starter is included and tea and baklava were included on the house after the meal. The only point of criticism: No dips, such as tzatziki, are served with the grilled dishes. You would have to order this separately at a relatively high price (approx. €8.50). I think that's a bit of a shame because, in our experience, it's included in other Turkish restaurants and the otherwise excellent food needs such a side dish. In general, a highly recommended restaurant!

Came across the restaurant based on the reviews. We can only confirm the good reviews. See nice and attentive service and very tasty food. We would definitely like to come back.

Excellent and tasty Turkish restaurant

Centrally located, well priced restaurant with very good Turkish food and nice and fast service. The price-performance ratio is great.

Excellent food. Despite the restaurant being full, the food was at the table very quickly. The staff is incredibly friendly, something you rarely experience in Germany. In terms of price, I would rate it as cheap. In any case, it is worth a visit.

Unfortunately the service was very slow and restructured. We waited a long time to place our drink orders and each time a drink was missing. Just enough time to place the order for the food and then receive it. The structure was missing. Especially if you come in a large group. The food was delicious and fresh. Ambiance was cozy. Maybe it will work if there are two of you with the service.

The entire staff was nice, friendly and accommodating. However, the food was almost cold, very uncluttered and not particularly "nicely" prepared, a little careless. I wasn't impressed with the taste either. Unfortunately not enough for a restaurant. It reminded me more of a snack bar. It's a shame, we were promised more. Maybe again sometime.

The food is, in a word, delicious. The offer was good. We were well received by the staff. Friendly people. The food was delicious. After our main course we had a Turkish dessert which tasted good. The atmosphere was good too.

It was a successful business with good doner kebabs and a variety of delicious Turkish dishes.

Fantastic ! Everything was great

Me and my family had a dinner here Saturday evening spontenausly. I have eaten doner all over the world from Dubai,Istanbul and all over the Germany. This was the best. Oil free, well cooked, well marinated. I ordered donerteller mit bulgur. Bulgur was also very delicious. Colleagues are quite friendly and warmly welcomed us. For sure i will visit here more often.

Amazing place!!! The experience with my family was perfect. We immediately realized how much we missed the smiling faces, hospitality and delicious Turkish food. We ordered lahmacun and doner plate with salad/side dish, they were very tasty. Btw side dish is bulgur pilavi 😉, so they gifted baklava!!! Don't walk, run to this place. - Fantastic place!!!

Nice restaurant, very good food, very friendly staff!

Very good lamb ribs! Recommended.

Very delicious! The lamb chops are delicious! The portions are huge too! 😋

Super tasty!!! I have to recommend #61 Lamb Ribs!!

Very good. Every time I want to eat lamb ribs, I come here.

All good 😆 Delicious lamb and interesting waiter

The ladies are so nice and helpful

Very delicious and great service🥰

Very good food and a nice service!

MALÊ'MA in Aachen's city center is a lovingly decorated restaurant that invites you to enjoy a pleasant atmosphere. The food I ordered, the mixed grill plate, tasted very good. Tender and juicy meat, good fries and the best lahmacun I've ever eaten. The starter plate consisting of three dips and a fresh bread, as well as the salad (at no extra charge!) also tasted great and provided a filling feeling with the main course. The service staff works quickly and is really nice and friendly. Afterwards there was black tea and a piece of baklava at no extra charge. I paid €24.70 for the plate and a Cola Zero. You should actually give ten stars for the service! All in all, MALÊ'MA (Kurdish: our home) is an above-average, but reasonably priced lokas in its industry. PS: the kebab skewer is layered meat, i.e. original kebab.

We really liked it, very nice atmosphere and staff.

I recently dined at a Turkish restaurant and tried the Adana kebab. The experience was fantastic! The kebab was perfectly grilled, with a nice smoky flavor and just the right amount of spices. The meat was tender, juicy, and flavorful, making every bite a delight. The dish was served with fresh vegetables, fluffy rice, and warm flatbread, which complemented the kebab beautifully. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with friendly staff who made the experience even better. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the mood for authentic Turkish flavors—especially the Adana kebab!

great food, great service, super nice staff! Starters and desserts are always on the house

Good menu - very freshly made straight from the grill, fast and polite service

Ordered iskender kebab as main dish which was very nice Meat was well seasoned with an overly oily sauce and the fries that came with it were also good and crispy. As dessert i had baklava with some tea, both were also great, the baklava had the right amount of sweetness and the tea paired perfectly with it. Apart from the food the restaurant had fast and kind service/staff, decor looked good and the open kitchen was very clean.

Very friendly service, the food was delicious and they even accept card payments!

Vorig jaar uitgebreid met vrienden zeer lekker geeten daarom weer terug afgesproken bij top restaurant "male' ma" en weer zeer lekker geeten in rustige sfeer Echt een aanrader om te genieten van een zeer goede keuken Zeer lekkerre wijnen en heel vriendelijk personeel

The local cuisine in Aachen is relatively exquisite, so it’s definitely OK to invite family and friends to eat here. The platter in the picture is delicious. It’s so fragrant, especially the rice below. The lamb is also grilled and delicious.

OK, the shop is a bit big, so it's not really "cosy", but the food is really worth it. We had a large starter plate and therefore (due to finite capacity) only a small main course - in my case (you hardly dare say it) kebab. Everything was very tasty. The staff very nice and attentive.

All 5 star reviews are more than appropriate for this beautiful restaurant. It definitely won't be my last visit...

I stayed in Aachen for a month and ate at this restaurant the most. I have eaten grilled lamb chops with rice twice. The one in the picture is Spaghetti Gemüse, which is the best creamy pasta I have ever eaten. Not that boring. There is also mutton soup that three friends think is delicious, and you can order a bowl of rice to go with it. Because it’s so delicious, it almost starts as soon as the food is served, so I don’t have many pictures. All in all highly recommended!

Delicious food. The incorrect order was compensated for with another free drink and bread with dips and at the end there was baklava on top. Nice, attentive service and you feel comfortable. In addition, the restaurant is within walking distance and is beautifully decorated.

It was our first visit. . .discovered by chance on Google. And it definitely wasn't our last visit. Nice atmosphere, friendly service and super delicious food. The meat was grilled to perfection Insider tip for Aachen

The meals are incredible. I advise you to go there.

One of our favorite restaurants in Aachen - always delicious, very friendly service, very pleasant and authentic family atmosphere. A real enrichment for Aachen!

The food is delicious and the Syrian girl at the reception is respectful and friendly.

We really liked the food. However, the waiting time was a bit too long. 非常好吃 可以来

Had a very good pide at male'ma.

It is authentic Turkish cuisine, the food was delicious and service was friendly. Portions are also okay (see the photos). The prices could be a bit cheaper, but this is not a fast-food restaurant, so it is understandable. The atmosphere is relaxed, clean, and simple. There are outdoor seats and large tables inside for big groups. For dessert, we ordered kunefe (€6.90). It was not very good, mainly because it wasn’t cooked properly (burnt on top and undercooked on the bottom). Maybe trying the baklava would be better. Paying with a card is possible, contrary to some other comments I read here. We paid with a card without any issues. The Turkish tea was also great; not every place makes it this well, so it’s a plus. 🙂

The food is delicious! The bread was freshly made, piping hot. We had pide and Turkish coffee, and baklava on the house. Staff were also pleasant, polite and friendly. Definitely recommend for a tasty bite when you're super hungry!

I would recommend this place! The food was extremely tasty and they were very generous with the portions.

The food was delicious and the portions were very generous. Would highly recommend!!

Portions were very large and tasted extremely good. The staff was also very friendly and remembered all of our names. Gave us free baklava and cay. Really highly recommended!

Wonderful Turkish restaurant with friendly staff! Excellent mixed grill.

Heel goed eten, hartelijke bediening en we werden een gratis kopje thee en dessert aangeboden :) Leuke sfeer qua meubilair en redelijk goedkoop!

Very tasty - good quality- excellent service

I visited the restaurant for the first time and was extremely impressed. The service was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious. A wonderful experience that I would like to repeat!

It was the most delicious thing I ate in Germany 😊

The food is so delicious haha The male clerk serving us was also very friendly. It's fun~ Be sure to try the kebab platter with the bread on top like a lid! I forgot the name of the menu haha. I recommend it~

⭐️⭐️Insider tip in Aachen⭐️⭐️ If you are looking for an authentic Turkish restaurant in Aachen and the surrounding area, you have come to the right place. This establishment can really be called a restaurant. As a starter we ordered Mercimek and Paca soup. The main course was a mixed grill plate and a Dürüm (homemade doner kebab). Without going into detail or wandering into thoughts…. Just look at the side salad…. Can you see how here, among other things? the lettuce was cut? There's love in it! And the rest tasted the same 👍👍👍👍 The very nice and attentive staff ensured that we had a very good stay. In order to continue eating out, we will come back

The best Turkish restaurant in Aachen. Great starter plate, extremely nice service. We always come back when we are in Aachen.

Very suitable for Chinese taste, recommended to try👍 Perfekt für den chinesischen Geschmack, empfehlenswert zum Probieren👍

Delicious Turkish food in a hospitable atmosphere!

Very tasty and staff super friendly. It was so good that I went back the next day.

Incredibly tasty falafel. (With rice and salad) Lakhmakun is beautiful. They cook not very quickly, but very tasty. They didn't have cappuccino. It is better to order Turkish tea.

The best falafel I've ever eaten. Everything else is also very tasty.

Delicious food, good value for money and the staff is very friendly. 🤗

The food was extremely tasty, obviously homemade and prepared with great attention to detail. The service was also excellent. The staff were friendly, attentive and professional, making us immediately feel welcome and cared for. The ambience is also worth mentioning. Overall, our visit was a complete success. We will definitely come back and highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. Definitely one of the better restaurants in Aachen.

Very nice staff and food was great

Excellent Turkish food! In my opinion, generally one of the best restaurants in Aachen!

Best Turkish restaurant. Food is very tasty and everything is fresh. Service is very nice, great.

The food was very tasty. The staff were very attentive and welcoming and I can't wait to visit again.

The service was very quick. I ate a mixed grill plate and tried everything. Everything was very delicious. The free side dishes were delicious.

The barbecue is delicious, the staff is very friendly and the service is very attentive!

The food is very tasty, the portions are filling, the service is always friendly and the atmosphere is also very cozy.

Came here by chance. Very tasty food, nice clean restaurant. And very friendly service.

Male'ma is a cozy Turkish restaurant. We didn't have a reservation and were lucky to get a table. Delicious bread with three sauces was served beforehand. For us there was, among other things, the grill plate and a kebab pizza. The grill plate was really nicely presented and was quite varied. Among other things, there was a lamb chop, kebab, pieces of lamb grilled on a spit, lahmacun(?) and, as a side dish, very good bulgur and salad. The pizza was nicely baked, the dough was a little thick and the kebab meat was a little lacking in taste, but all in all it was OK. After the meal there was either tea or baklava from the house. All in all, we were very satisfied with a few minor drawbacks. We'll be going back soon, a table has been reserved to try out the sea bream.

The only good thing is the parking facility. The food is really simple.. Partly cold! The service is a disaster... Waited 90 minutes for the food... the tables next door weren't cleared for an hour... Waited 30 minutes for the first drink... completely overwhelmed... Ambiance? Lamps in the corner with a cord attached and not. Connected... nothing more should be said about it

Everything was so delicious and they serve fast and waiters are kind, helpful and they also serve many things on the house! Would love to come back and price performance was so good.

Very tasty Turkish dishes and friendly service. We recommend!
