Mangal in Gelsenkirchen

Very tasty always worth a visit when I am there

The food wasn't that good. The guy slapped two spoonfuls of sauce on the pom-doner. It was like soup. The staff, except for one woman, were very unfriendly.

I was really disappointed. The kebab was completely soggy, the meat was ash

The open buffet breakfast is delicious. It's worth going there just for the freshly baked pita they bring for breakfast; it tastes just like Ramadan pita.

We went to the breakfast buffet at Marifet and were unfortunately very disappointed. We weren't greeted upon entering, and no one attended to us during our entire stay – they didn't ask if everything was okay or if we wanted anything extra. The buffet itself was equally disappointing: • All the hot dishes (egg dishes, vegetable gratin, potatoes) were completely cold. • The potatoes in the gratin were even raw. • Much of the food tasted bland and poorly prepared. At the end, when we paid, we were asked whether we wanted the hot or cold buffet – which, to be honest, left us speechless, as we only found cold dishes. Paying by card also seemed unwelcome, even though the amount was over €20. Overall, we felt neither welcome nor well looked after. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time we've experienced unfriendly and indifferent service at this restaurant. It's a real shame, as Marifet actually has a good reputation in the area, but in our opinion, it's steadily declining. Fortunately, there are plenty of alternatives.

I've rarely eaten such a bad tuna salad. A green salad with a few tiny pieces of tomato scattered across the plate, a ladle of tzatziki on top, and tuna pieces scattered throughout. No corn, no egg... nothing. My husband's fries were also barely edible, crispy on the outside and soggy on the inside. The service was very friendly.

I chose the restaurant based on Google reviews. In my opinion, the place doesn't deserve that many points. The kebab is okay. It's not a must-have for me.

The fresh, homemade food is impressive. The service is more than friendly. From fine dining to kebabs to go, everything is simply fantastic.

Recep Einen schönen Usher Yemek Asher and you are Not applying to wbe e

Very tasty food and friendly service.

The employees are very unfriendly and have and were very rude

Didn't meet my expectations. I wanted to go to a famous competitor nearby, which unfortunately closed at 10 p.m. By 10:05 p.m., the skewer had already rolled down quite a bit (I wasn't expecting prime burgers at that time either), but the meat was full of gristle and chunks of fat, not tasty, the sauce was not tasty, and the vegetables were no longer fresh. I just don't understand how that can be when the store is open until 1 a.m.

!!!Our last visit to this restaurant!!!! Unfortunately, we have to say that the hygiene was an absolute nightmare. I was shocked when I was washing my hands in the washroom and a member of staff came in wearing disposable gloves, which she would later use to serve food. She had been to the restroom, came out, and didn't wash her hands. Then she immediately started serving food – wearing the same gloves. It was truly worrying. The food also left a lot to be desired: some of it was spoiled, there were eggshells in the scrambled eggs, the salads weren't washed, and the cups and glasses were dirty. I don't even want to imagine the conditions under which the food is prepared. I didn't really want to write this review, but perhaps it will help the restaurant return to its original, good standards. It's a shame – I used to enjoy coming here with my family. However, after this experience, we will look for another option.

Ordered a kebab directly from the shop, and the meat, like everything else, was cold. I definitely wouldn't recommend this shop to anyone.

Very tasty kebab. Excellent quality meat and very flavorful, a pleasure to eat. The other dishes served over the counter also looked very tasty.

The doner kebab man just eats Adana from my Adana bag and I've been lied to and ripped off a few times, worst doner shop

The food arrives cold. But that's completely understandable, considering you've been waiting 30 minutes for doner meat. The side dish (bread) comes without a plate, but with cutlery. If you want to spill something on the table, fine; you'll just adapt. I'd be happy to do it somewhere else, but not there in the future.

The worst kebab I've ever eaten there. Soft bread, soggy, completely flavorless meat, not a single browned spot, no roasted flavor at all. The best part was the white cabbage, but how could you go wrong with that? The quantity was much smaller than usual. You used to be barely able to hold the kebab wrap with two hands, but now there's almost nothing in it. No wonder they've lost so many customers. I won't be buying anything there again. What a shame!

This is a kebab... of the finest quality

The food was inedible! There was very little meat, but bread was smuggled in, making it impossible to eat. It was hard to chew. Despite complaining, they charged us the full price. 🤢

The doner kebab plate was perfect. It was worth the trip out of Essen.

Unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations. Suggestions for improvement: Air conditioning instead of ceiling fans. Suggesting portion sizes on the menu would be better.

I'm hereby reviewing the breakfast buffet... First of all, I found the restaurant very nice, large, bright, and inviting. You could sit inside or outside. I thought the breakfast buffet was quite good for €12 (they also included doner kebab meat). The tzatziki and other similar dips were really good. The coffee machine, however, worked very slowly (you had to wait in line for a while), and all the coffees tasted very, very weak. Well... And then I'd like to point out that the manager would definitely benefit from a little smile now and then!

I was there with my son. We were really hungry. We spared no expense and ordered two portions of grilled meat. The meat, whether chicken or ribs, was all too dry. The Adana skewer had too much fat. The only thing that was tasty was the salad. We also wanted to have kunefe, but after a very long wait, we lost our appetite for it.

Unfortunately, disappointing service – despite good food I've been ordering here regularly for years because the food is truly delicious – to be fair. Unfortunately, the service consistently falls well short of what one would expect. What happened to me with my last order, however, is the icing on the cake. Once again, an order was placed via Lieferando – and once again, it wasn't executed correctly. The Dürüm Döner Tavuk was again incorrectly prepared. When I called, I was simply offered the correct delivery next time. An apology? None. When I followed up, I was suddenly told they were out of Tavuk kebabs. So, with a growling stomach, I had to choose an alternative. Again: no apology, no understanding. The replacement delivery was confirmed by phone – with the note that it "might take a while." And it did: a wait of almost an hour, while my family had long since eaten. When I expressed my anger again, all I got was a terse "It's not my fault." The highlight, however, was the question during delivery, whether I could take the incorrect product back. Why? To resell it? To consume it? Or to indirectly insinuate that I had made up the mistake to get a free kebab? That's truly audacious. The bottom line: good food, unacceptable service. This was my last order. There are many other restaurants in Buer with good food and respectful customer service.

Overall, visiting this restaurant was a very pleasant experience. The service deserves special mention; it was truly top-notch – attentive, friendly, and fast. You immediately felt like you were in good hands. The food was satisfactory overall. The mixed grill platter was plentiful and visually appealing – the Adana skewer and the chicken were particularly well-seasoned. The side dishes, such as rice, flatbread, and salad, were solid, but rather average in taste. The appetizer selection provided some variety.

Like every year for my dad's birthday we ate there with the whole family and as always the service was top class, so hospitable and respectful, I can recommend it to everyone. Teşekkürler 🥰👍

We went there for breakfast today and were extremely disappointed. There used to be a lot of choice, and I used to enjoy going there. Today, it was really disappointing—there was very little choice. It's a shame.

Very good! The meat is great. The pepperoni is very hot and good!

Great steak kebabs, always fresh salads Mercimek is also great 👍🏼 I eat there several times a month 🫶🏻

We waited an hour for two doner kebabs, even though the place wasn't particularly busy. There wasn't even any bread with the appetizer, as is customary in a Turkish restaurant. This is beyond disrespectful. We will definitely not visit the place again and won't recommend it to anyone. This was the first and last time.

* The open ayran is far from the original. * We ordered döner kebab, and it arrived very cold and the meat was frozen. * We came on a recommendation. I don't plan on going again.

The service was very friendly and the food tasted excellent.

It's not a Turkish restaurant, as I expected. You speak to the waitress in Turkish, and she answers in German. My Iskender Kebab had a huge chunk of fat. I asked for more bread, and they forgot. But those are small mistakes that every restaurant makes. The food was good, the service okay, and the atmosphere pleasant.

Some of the staff were nice but we got something we didn't order. A friend of mine had bones in his food and my food was already cold when it arrived.

Dirty place. The restrooms were a disaster. The food was awful.

We had brunch there. They offer a wide selection of delicious food. But the best part: despite the low price, an all-you-can-drink coffee package is included. The fully automatic coffee machine offers 10 coffee specialties!

Expensive and tastes very bad!!!

The Turkish restaurant Tadi MarifET Holzkohlengrill in Gelsenkirchen-Buer offers friendly and attentive service, which is a positive point. Unfortunately, the food left a lot to be desired, especially the undercooked meat, which is an absolute no-go and should be urgently improved. If my review helped you, please give me a "like" (thumbs up). ☺️

A delicious fast-food restaurant. There are quite a few tables and the service is very friendly. Great for a lunch break or something, but not for a long, drawn-out meal.

The man with glasses who brings bread in the morning cannot be a tradesman. First learn how to treat people. You immediately snap at people. I won't come here again. Show love and respect to people. I am a customer. I have also been a tradesman. I would never treat a customer like this. I wrote this for the man with glasses. He is very bad and snaps at people.

Anyone who thinks that being cheap means getting quality is wrong. I ate a kebab from there yesterday. Unfortunately, the flatbread was dry, so I'm giving the food four stars. What a shame.

Iskander kebab was really delicious

!Warning! We went because the reviews were pretty good, and I've eaten kebabs there a few times, and they were always pretty good. This time there were five of us, and we each had something different. The service was okay, it was quick, but our food arrived a long way apart, so we couldn't eat together. My kofte was very good, the salad and rice were great, so no one complained about the taste, and the price was right. But afterwards, everyone who ate lamb had food poisoning with severe symptoms, which is just unacceptable. That's why the rating is unfortunately so bad :(

I've rarely experienced such friendly and attentive staff. 😊 The portions were certainly larger, but the taste was very good. 👌🏼

Exceptional, the doner meat is top-notch. Finally, some real texture in the meat. It's addictive. Veal doner is only available here! The grilled dishes are also top-notch.

Super tasty. Really well seasoned. Never service. Fair price.

Very friendly and nice owner, selection of food very varied and fresh, we were very satisfied :-)

Best restaurant, best boss, best man

Yes, my wife was on ward B4. The staff was super friendly and did everything possible for my wife, but she had to be transferred to B9 but she was just as well looked after there. The hospital is recommended. The staff and doctors are nice and know what they are doing

Very unfriendly, I asked her politely about the toilet. She looked at me and didn't answer. So dead ignored I'm like that

It's very pleasant to eat there. It tastes very good. Fast service and with a friendly smile 😃. Of course the best thing is the breakfast buffet.

Sarah Beyti, tuna salad, water, cola Dinner on April 5, 2025 around 6:30 p.m Starter: dips with bread and salad The salad was okay, but the bread was probably from mid-morning. Hard and inedible. Main course: Sarah Beyti To be honest, I had never had such a bad Sarma Beyti as I had in that restaurant. Small portion and hardly any meat. That looked completely different than in the photo!!! Cleanliness: The toilet is absolutely disgusting. There are papers on the floor because the trash can is overflowing, the soap dispenser is broken, the sink and faucet are pretty dirty. Unfortunately, the staff doesn't pay attention to this! There are also leftover food everywhere on the floor in the restaurant. For the poor quality and dirty furnishings, the price was not justified at all. Unfortunately, it wasn't the first time I've experienced it in this restaurant, so I would like to share my experience. 29€ gone and left with a disappointing impression. For me it was the last time! At the checkout I saw a new plate being prepared on the grill. This one was dirty at the edge of the plate. The salad was prepared with bare hands. Not really appetizing considering the neglected cleanliness. I can't understand the 4.8 stars!

A quality as it should be. Thanks

Nice and clean and relatively quiet

Best kebab shop for ever. Super friendly, friendly employees. I love picking up and ordering food here. Come here, eat and inspire.

The kebab meat is very delicious. A little oily, but that's how it is when 100% meat is used instead of minced meat and turkey meat.

The food was truly excellent. I had kofte, and I have to honestly say it was the best kofte I've had so far in the Ruhr area (and I've eaten almost everywhere). The service was excellent, fast, and friendly.

I have never eaten so badly on Ramadan and have honestly never been so disappointed by the staff. It took me 40 minutes to order even though I arrived 40 minutes earlier and made a reservation. I had to sit outside. The kebab had more salad than meat as you can see in the picture. Honestly disaster.

Worst kebab shop in town I agree with all the bad reviews, unfortunately. The food is poor quality and tastes bad. The tables aren't cleaned properly.

The staff was very nice and committed. The meat is very tender and tasty. A visit is worth it.

Good evening I made reservations for today with 4 friends to break the fast. We arrived and were informed that our seat was outside, it was evening and cold. Incredible!! After 10 minutes of discussion with the owner, we still have to sit outside. In short, the owner didn't want to see that it was a mistake on his part and that he had forgotten our reservation!!! After the starter we waited 45 minutes for our main course. The food was inedible, hard, cold and raw. It simply cannot be described in more detail. We all left our plates behind. The worst thing about it all was the audacity that we paid €103.56 for 4 mixed grill plates and 4 ayran. And he wanted a tip and asked if we liked the food... unbelievably, after 5 minutes of discussion, we left the shop because otherwise the situation would have escalated. There were also masculine men sitting in the back who belonged to the owner and were shouting in our direction. Never again never never never again...

I have never visited this restaurant

Great restaurant, lightning-fast reservation, delicious food, open breakfast buffet is mega, friendly staff and wine Nice chef Ali Baba

Served very quickly by the chef and very tasty 👍

Okay so far, but room for improvement. The quality of the food is okay. While the meat was on the grill for too long (unfortunately a bit dry), the fries could have tolerated it (unfortunately they weren't really well done). Service is very friendly, but slightly confused - probably due to Lent, so understandable.

The food is great, we always eat there and I've never been disappointed

Come here regularly and every time it's nice and clean...lovely service...great people!!

Very tasty food and drinks. Very quick preparation even though all tables were occupied. Moderate prices. Gladly again 👍

Very tasty, very nice and great value for money!

You can eat deliciously and at reasonable prices. Friendly service staff

Very tasty food. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

I ate most of them except tea, the taste was average or mediocre and the staff was strange.

The food is great here, and the wait staff are all really nice and helpful. The prices are really good too

Discovered today by accident. Very tasty food and incredibly warm and super nice service. We'd love to come back!

Top service, top food, highly recommended. Freshly prepared food every day! It's worth eating here even if you're further away!

Very tasty, I ordered two small portions of tavuk sis plates, the small one was 10€, the large one was about 14€, I think the prices were very good and cheap, the meat was very juicy and tasty, highly recommended, came there from Dortmund, it was really worth it, the künefe was also very tasty, I'll be back Thank you for everything

Before returning to France after the Champion's League match, 3 of us came, and really great...🥰👍! the excellent welcome and the kebabs 👏👏👏

Super tasty food, service very warm and good. Any time

Your lamb skewer is catastrophic, I couldn't finish it. Adana is fine. Doner kebab is nothing special but you can eat it. Overall, I'm very disappointed because the food used to be better. To be honest, it's no longer worth a visit, which is a shame.

I happened to be there for breakfast this morning. The selection was really extensive and I really didn't miss anything. To be more precise, you won't be able to try nearly everything if you want to. The service was very nice and all my questions were answered very courteously and politely. I was also able to discover one or two highlights for myself in terms of taste. One additional request, but that's complaining at the highest level, would be to offer perhaps half of the scrambled eggs without sucuk. I would love to come back and recommend you.

Bought a kebab again today after a year and was very disappointed. Unlike before, there was very little meat, cold after 1 minute because you were too lazy to cut the meat off the skewer

Doner kebab is a 7.5/10 Grill plate is very good

Lots of seating, large selection, delicious food. We often pick things up here during our lunch break. It's always delicious, the price and portion are completely okay. It's always full, but everything runs smoothly.

We went there for coffee in the morning. It was very good! Unfortunately we had already had breakfast, so we couldn't try the very rich and fresh breakfast buffet. But visually it was definitely an A! We were served and informed very nicely and attentively. We'll be back! Addendum 01/13/25 - We were here for dinner today. We had the chicken kebab plate and a grill plate. Everything was very fresh and delicious. A really recommendable place👍👍👍 It was just a little cool. But that's because the guest room is very large.

The business owner Ali Abi is a very warm and friendly person. I can say that it is the best kebab I have eaten in Germany so far. It's not a minced meat kebab, but a real Yaprak kebab. In addition, the breakfast was really excellent. I don't give recommendations easily, but I can recommend this place with a clear conscience. Ali Abi, we will definitely see each other again!

Mega delicious, everything very fresh, not exactly cheap, but hey, quality has its price! The girls who served us were all very attentive and very smart

It was very very tasty. Thank you very much. The staff is also very friendly.

We had Ezmeli Kebap and a grill plate. Bread and salad are free. It was very tasty and very plentiful. Meat is prepared on a charcoal grill. We'll be back.

Little Fetti Mado asoyan loved it and devoured the entire menu. Bravo 11/10

Disaster breakfast buffet… we were there at 12 o'clock and everything was a cold buffet.. never recommend

So I don't know what to say, I'm at a loss for words. Marifet is no longer what it used to be. The meat was raw and screamed the fries were smeared with a homemade sauce which was unappetizing. I put my kebab back in front of marifet because it was so unappetizing. It's a total loss that they want 6.50 for something like that. I don't know where the world will take me anymore, but what I do know is that I'll never go to Marifet again

So I'm sorry, I've been eating kebab for over 15 years, but marifet isn't an option, I'd rather starve than spend another cent there. My ass will definitely never enter this rancid store again - you pay for nuts and stomachaches😜

I'm really sorry. The kebab was very tasty but I waited over an hour for the kebab. That doesn't work at all.

Even if you have been a customer for years, you no longer need a card. The grilled dishes are highly recommended and don't get too attached to the kebab and dare to eat something.

I used to enjoy eating here often. Unfortunately, the last visit was a disappointment. My meat was burnt and poorly seasoned. Unfortunately the taste has really degraded. My wife's dish, Manti, was also unconvincing. Regarding the starter: Bread was cold and had probably been lying around for a while. Sauces/dips were delicious though.

We had a very tasty breakfast here. Friendly service and delicious breakfast buffet with hearty dishes. We'd love to come back. :)

Absolutely not the same anymore. The staff is totally inattentive. Behind the counter, some creams are smeared on the face and instead of serving, people are chilling on their cell phones. The chicken skewers were completely dry and burnt. Unfortunately not again.

Unfortunately the kebab doesn't taste particularly good, the meat is very oily and the bread wasn't crispy and lukewarm and the tzatziki is like mayo and has no place in the kebab. There were five of us there and everyone didn't like it.

Absolutely disappointing, the staff obviously understands very little German, or doesn't want to understand it. The absolutely fatty meat was also much better. I was shocked by the price: the small one! A portion of kebab meat costs 9.90 euros - how much does the large one cost? I follow the reviews of many Turkish guests here and no longer visit the place because I feel like I've been ripped off. The operators and staff should be ashamed.
