Mangal Döner Heumarkt in Köln

Simply filthy, the staff completely overwhelmed. Of the four employees, two were standing around, leaving customers waiting. The sales area was dirty and dingy. That's why I didn't order anything.

I can say that it was the worst doner kebab I have ever eaten abroad. While smiling faces prevail almost everywhere abroad, here they look at the customers as if they are going to beat them.

Simple design, “Kebab” very small and too expensive. Not a highlight in terms of taste and unfortunately halal.

Actually unexpectedly good, the boys even served up a fresh veal skewer at 12:30. ✌🏻

I don't know where the 4.8 rating came from, but this is the worst kebab I've ever eaten in Germany! The meat is oversalted, there's not enough sauce, the pita bread is thick and it wasn't even heated up. I highly don't recommend this place, and 10 € for that...

A very disappointing experience... I was there last Saturday after midnight and the next day I had serious health problems. I'm not surprised because the meat is simply of poor quality. They use old frozen meat from the previous days, you can see them taking out small frozen blocks of döner and throwing them on the grill. It smells terrible, and honestly, I don't know how this place passes health inspections... It's absolutely unhealthy for your stomach. Sauces? Terrible. Portions? Very small. The only thing that is bearable is the bread, but that doesn't make up for the rest. And the staff? Unfriendly and they barely communicate. I am considering writing to the headquarters, because my compatriot Podolski does not deserve such poor quality. I don't recommend it. 🚫👎

It was the worst experience in my life. There is nothing more delicious

When I came to Cologne in February, the first thing I wanted was doner. I saw this place nearby and tried it. The friends were very welcoming. The quality and taste of the ingredients were very good. It remained a good memory for me. Thank you

Tasty döner. However there is not enough seat to sit.

Friendly staff, fast service, delicious doner kebabs. The bread was incredibly filling. I recommend.

Central, and good kebab. Attentive service

High quality and delicious döner. If you like spicy, their hot sauce is very good. Their meat-chicken mixed döner is delicious.

Their doner kebab is amazing 🤩 you should definitely try it. We came from Antalya and met you by chance. Good luck. Continue 😉

If you come to Kolne, don't leave without visiting here. The employees are very good

Great food and very good taste. Staffs were so friendly and kind.

Great service and friendly staff, the food was very tasty

Late in the evening on the way to the hotel I picked up a Poldi Döner and it was really delicious.

Totally bad and absolutely not recommended. The Mangal Döner at Heumarkt in Cologne is a total disappointment. The bread was extremely dry and hard. The taste was absolutely of the lowest quality and it was simply unpleasant to eat. But that wasn't all - the kebab was far too small, especially for the price you pay here. You immediately notice that savings are being made wherever possible. The filling was rather sparse and had little flavor. All in all, I felt like I wasn't really getting anything good for the money. The service wasn't particularly friendly either. I really can't recommend this kebab shop - there are definitely better alternatives in Cologne for what's on offer here. Very disappointing, I can only advise against this store and will definitely not be coming back. 1 star is way too much.

Unfortunately, the bread from my many kebab orders were all cold, hard and dry. Some of the vegetables were not fresh. Doner meat was good. Unfortunately the food was cold. Too bad.

Always nice staff and always a very tasty kebab for the price. The meat tastes great. Just like the crusty warm bread. Filled with as much salad and meat as you would like. So if you like, completely individually. Unfortunately you can't sit down comfortably.

The best kebab in Cologne, you can find it on every corner & just around the corner is Poldi's ice cream parlor, this kebab should also be available in the kebab capital of Dresden!

Not recommended for vegans. When I asked for a vegan option, I was confused and directed to falafel. Immediately afterward, I was asked if I'd like extra cheese. When I asked which of the sauces were vegan, they couldn't provide any information. Accordingly, I can't say much about the quality of the food. As a meat-eater, it might be great, but as someone on a plant-based diet, I would advise against going.

Great taste, excellent service, thank you

I don’t share everyone’s enthusiasm. I took a dener sandwich for 7.90€. You can have a snack, but you can hardly enjoy it. The lack of meat was compensated by an excess of onions)

Such a delicious kebab! Simply fantastic 😍❤️

Great place to finish the night after drinking loads of kolsch kebabs were 10/10 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We had a great experience at Mangal Döner Heumarkt! The kebab was delicious, and everything was fresh and well-prepared. The service was absolutely wonderful – the staff was friendly, welcoming, and very attentive. A special touch was their kindness to our little daughter, as they treated her to some French fries. It made our visit even more enjoyable! Highly recommended for anyone looking for tasty food and excellent service in a warm and friendly atmosphere. We’ll definitely be coming back!

The best doner kebab you will ever eat in Cologne. Prices are affordable and clean. The employees are very well-intentioned, it is a very good business in everything. Be sure to stop by.

We tried the Döner and we really liked it, it was crowded the time we went so the meat was not well grilled, however it was really tasty. We paid 22€ for 2 Döner and 2 drinks.

Sauce was good, fresh, but the quantity was small for 8 euros. It wasn't possible to sit and my German wasn't fully understood;) a lot of hype.

The selection is great, the food is absolutely top! Unfortunately you can't sit there. Keep it up!

It would be wrong to compare it with doner kebabs in Turkey. The way it is done and its content is different. Even though I ate chicken, the meat seemed different than the ones in Turkey, more artificial. It tasted good and had plenty of content. The owners were attentive and offered tea as well.

The doner kebab was very good and delicious, I recommend it.

Perfect kebab with great bread. For me the new number 1

This was really (in my opinion) the worst kebab meat I have ever eaten. It smelled really strange inside and that's exactly how the meat tasted. My friend had to throw away her Dürüm because she thought it was so bad. The salad was fresh hence 2 stars.

The best kebab we have eaten so far.

Was less than pictured. I personally didn't like it that much. Employees weren't friendly, and Poldi probably wouldn't be proud of it!

Not a bad location. Good selection and acceptable taste. Specific personnel. They communicate with each other without paying attention to visitors. They behave defiantly and a little rudely. It’s a pity that the human factor negatively affects the appearance of the establishment.

Wow the friendliest staff and not unimportantly the food was great!!! Thanks

It's not doner, it's something else. It is more correct to say salad

Doner kebab. Fast, small, expensive. Too bad.

This was the best kebab I've eaten in North Rhine-Westphalia and the staff were very friendly

★★★★★ Absolutely brilliant kebab! Lukas Podolski's Mangal Döner at Heumarkt is simply unbeatable! The meat is incredibly juicy and perfectly seasoned, the sauces harmonize perfectly, and the bread is nice and crispy. You can taste the quality and the attention to detail. In addition, there is a super friendly team and quick preparation - even with longer queues the wait is worth it. If you are in Cologne, you simply have to try this kebab. Clear recommendation and definitely one of the best kebab shops in the city!

Delicious but expensive compared to other fast food options

The guy who put the sauces was very angry for some reason. If you go, try to say the sauces quickly and quickly, otherwise run away.

The meat doner was like minced meat. The meat was not good. But the portion was satisfying

Everything was great, the staff were very nice, the doner kebab was delicious, definitely a place to visit.

Greetings to the Turkish brothers who run a really nice restaurant.

Yes, is döner better in Germany or Turkey? This discussion goes on and on. Frankly, I am one of those who say it is more beautiful in Turkey. But this place was also beautiful. The employees were friendly and the place was clean. I recommend you to eat doner kebab here in Cologne.

One of the best kebabs in Germany! Unfortunately there is no seating in the closed room.

We were probably there at the wrong time but the meat wasn't cooked properly and therefore wasn't tasty. The crowd was so big that they probably didn't have time for the meat to turn on the grill long enough

Bad service, who thinks with their arms crossed that they mean who is the master of the house. Passing this on to your employees and just collecting money. It's a shame I tried nothing and couldn't do anything

I don't really like fast food places, the choice is yours.

Just doner kebab. Nothing more or less. Medium quality. Only the staff is very friendly.

Really enjoyed eating here, food amazing, staff very friendly. Thank you to Serhat, Baran, Fero, Bedo

I can easily say that it is better than the doner kebabs in Turkey. The meat is halal for those who come as tourists. You can taste this wonderful taste with peace of mind.

Unbelievable döner, if you’re around you have to try it

Doner sandwich very tasty. Nice staff and everything freshly prepared.

Its overprieced and we barely got any meat. It was 20% meat and 80% vegetables. Additionally, the guy who served us was very rude and got real sassy when we asked which sauces they got and didnt immediately see the signs.

The staff were very nice, both the bread and the meat were a little dry and not hot. Thanks.

Legendary taste, I will come again, I always come 😍

The kebab is nothing special. However, reporting reviews to Google because they are objective and do not give the desired 5 stars is bad business practice and does not show much conviction in your own product. Therefore only one star from me. It should be clear that 4.8 stars are unrealistic for a kebab shop.

Absolute 5 point for men working there. Super friendly and fast. Ofc doner was the best.

Went to the trade fair in Cologne and then ate a Mangal kebab for the first time. The boys were busy and very nice. And the kebab was really delicious and one of the best kebabs I've had in a long time!

The restaurant offers a delightful culinary experience, blending fresh ingredients with innovative techniques. The attentive staff provides impeccable service, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable dining atmosphere. Each dish is a work of art, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. From appetizers to desserts, the menu offers a diverse selection to satisfy any palate. This establishment is a must-visit for anyone seeking a truly memorable dining experience.

In one word, it was amazing, perfect

Definitely one of the top 10 kebabs in Germany. Fresh crisp salad, delicious sauces and very tasty juicy veal.

Everything was great, thank you

The staff was super nice and accommodating ☺️ and the kebab? Flavor explosion! Thanks ! World class!

Top, the guys speak French, give good advice! I recommend!

Solid doner kebab, great bread. Meat okay. Vegetables okay. 3+. Without the Poldi, the store would no longer stand out.

The dialogue is very bad, no one speaks German, the meat is burnt, dry and cold, it's really disappointing, not recommended...!!!

What a bad restaurant/snack bar run by a world star! I “only” ordered a portion of fries and even they weren’t crispy, just wobbly. Unfortunately I had to get my train and therefore couldn't return. Horrible chip shop!

I ate a kebab at Poldi for the first time. It was super tasty. They also bake the bread themselves.

The best kebab I've ever eaten!!! Starting with an extremely friendly staff. The Poldis sandwich is crispy, can be made with chicken or veal and is very juicy thanks to the various sauces and salads. I can highly recommend!!

Spaghetti is not as long as the veal. Not cut into small pieces. Bad to eat. But otherwise great. Were at the Heumarkt.

The cuisine is excellent, a real discovery. Quite friendly, generous and very smiling staff. I recommend.

The food was 10/10 and the staff was ultra friendly and accommodating! We'll definitely be back 😊

Mega hot kebab. The taste is very, very good, the staff is super friendly. Always happy👍

The name drew us here. The kebab with the homemade bread is good but not perfect, it's definitely worth a visit but not much more. Price is perfectly fine, not overpriced. Anyway, it's OK.

The kebab is great and you get the food very quickly

The best doner kebab sandwich I’ve ever tasted! So delicious, with fresh vegetables and Halal meat. The place can get a bit busy, but it’s definitely worth it. This is your go-to address for an authentic doner!

It's so delicious that we had to go there two days in a row on our vacation here in Cologne 😍 The service is really great, super nice and friendly. It's a shame that we don't have any in Hamburg and the surrounding area, that would be a dream😍

The best kebab I have eaten by far. Homemade bread baked in front of you and everything is homemade. Served by a French speaker who had worked in Belgium and France in Metz and Nancy so great for making yourself understood. I recommend!!

Doner is very delicious, thank you

When I asked for extra sauce , guy at counter said "it costs money", as if I am eating there for free. Very bad customer behaviour , very average doner , only in business because of Podolski name .

Very nice and courteous staff, and the kebab is also very tasty! The red cabbage is pickled and the bread is also great...a solid kebab that's okay for €7.90.

The food is good but the service really wasn't good this time. I ordered a kebab box with salad instead of fries and the waiter said that he only wanted to make it with fries, even though there was also a kebab box with salad on the menu. When I pointed this out to him, he acted as if he didn't understand German and turned away. My colleague also got veal instead of poultry.

Doner kebab is okay, but there are better ones. You don't have to eat it

We were there that night and were thrilled. There was only a small amount of meat left on the skewer. There were a few people in front of us. Nevertheless, the meat was repeatedly covered to become crispy. Great, great, great. Then it was our turn. We were also able to wait for delicious meat. Ordered fries with it. They were remade because they were probably cold. I have rarely experienced such service at this time anywhere. Keep it up

Doner tastes great but is quite small

It has plenty of ingredients, is very filling and very delicious!!

Great kebab, the staff is really great, understands foreigners well. I recommend

First time with my friends. Very very good value for money and super well positioned. I recommend 👍🏼

For me the best kebab in Cologne. Quality is consistently good and it tastes simply excellent.

While passing through Cologne, we stopped at the Mangal Doner and we loved it, the friendliness of the staff, the quality of the products, very good!!! To do

Perfect perfect perfect nothing to say

Des serveurs incroyables qui s'occupe très bien de vous. Ils sont très gentil et extrêmement agreable. Le meilleur kebap que j’ai mangé a l’étranger, la viande est délicieuse. Incredibly good service, employees are very attentive and respectful. It's truly the best doner kebab I've ever eaten abroad. I recommend it to everyone.

Very nice service but why this kebab is rated so well is inexplicable to me. The yoghurt sauce tastes really sweet, it completely ruins it. Price is also too steep.

The Podolski kebab is really extremely tasty! The vegetables taste fresh. The meat is very tender and tastes very juicy. The bread is a little sweeter than the usual bread you would normally find in a kebab, but that's not a bad thing at all... On the contrary, it tastes very good! In my opinion, the best thing about this kebab is the sauce or sauces, they taste so refreshing and add a particularly good portion of flavor to the contents of the kebab! I would come here again to enjoy the kebab!
