Mangal Doner Restaurant in Köln

Unfortunately that was nothing. Value for money was simply not right. I expected and hoped for more and with my friends I was more disappointed than happy. The order was incomplete and the taste had been much better in stores.

If you are starving You can eat the delicious and the cheapest döner at there. It has more than one branch.

An excellent kebab shop. Better than the other Podolskikettrn on the left bank of the Rhine. If there is one this is it that far trumps all in quality and taste

Nice staff, it went very quickly, employees were very helpful, the food tasted great, fresh and tasty. I would always go there again when I'm in Cologne.

Wallah the kebab didn't taste good

I happened upon it when someone was making a complaint about a doner and the employee was digging into the bun with his hand. So unfortunately I didn't order and went to another place. It's a pity that I didn't try it, because based on the opinions of my friends, everyone praised it and recommended it. I'll try it next time

Döner has its origins in traditional Ottoman cuisine dating back more than 400 years and is still one of the most popular freshly prepared dishes today. This is one of the rare places that carries this taste to the present day without compromising on quality... smiling face, hygiene and freshly made crispy bread and dough... better than this, good health and bon appetit...

Great place with delicious and filling food! The döner is amazing, especially in a bowl. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Food comes way too late (1 hour). The white sauce doesn't taste good.

I've never eaten a kebab as bad as this one. There were so many spices 🤢 to last the whole night. The staff were very nice!!!

Sorry, but this time it was catastrophic. I've eaten at this chain many times, everything was great, but this location didn't work at all! Doner kebabs were a lot apart, one with sauce, the other without it, the meat didn't taste like it always did, instead of a little sauce, he filled everything with sauce, annoying because I hadn't eaten anything all day, maybe it was a Monday kebab, but I don't eat there anymore.

A very small and inconspicuous little place. But the food was really good 👍

Fries too greasy, sauce felt like Knorr, meat miserable.

Nothing to recommend, the employee cuts the chicken even though it isn't cooked through and when I asked him about it, he acted like he didn't understand me and simply said goodbye. Be careful people, the staff have no idea about salmonella and the quality of the food.

Sorry Poldi, the kebab doesn't work at all. Too expensive and almost inedible. Sell ​​the flowers and do what you really know: football

The best kebab!! I'll never eat kebab anywhere else again. Otherwise you'll just be disappointed. With extra cheese and all sauces + both types of meat. Super tasty and lots of meat and sauces. The bread is always crispy. Staff generally nice and friendly. You can now also pay with a cash machine. Then almost the condition is not to pay dirty money and always have to wash your hands or put on new gloves. Super well thought out. Always my pleasure.

Dry meat and simply not a highlight! Better go to another kebab. You get more of your money there

Super cool and very tasty. Clean friendly😃☺️

You order on the street, but top kebab

It has plenty of ingredients and is delicious compared to the doner kebabs we have eaten in Turkey.

DISGUSTING DÖNER! ARRIVES COLD AND SAUCES TASTES LIKE KETCHUP AND MAJO. What a joke.

To this day I still don't understand what drives so many people to be so enthusiastic right from the start. The good early days are long gone. But even back then, the kebab wasn't a 8th wonder of the world. It looks the same as many other providers and tastes the same as others. Today, making your own bread means nothing more than baking ready-made mixtures in the oven. Many others do the same. Does Poldi grind the flour himself in the morning in the private bakery? The enthusiasm probably comes from the idea of ​​sitting at the table with Poldi of all people and not with some stranger. The inventor's right idea was fully realized.

The shop looks pretty shabby, kebab is just kebab - nothing really special.

Waiting for an hour only for it to be canceled at the last minute, absolute nonsense

We picked up 30 falafel pockets and kebabs for a university project, the process was great and everyone really enjoyed the food!

Helped us very kindly with a project - picking up 30 kebabs was super quick and we were able to put them all together individually + choose drinks!

We went on recommendation, the taste and sauces were great. The bread is so beautiful and crispy that we wish it was available in Turkey. Love to the business that opened its ground floor for us to pray🌸

The bread has become smaller, but unfortunately the price has not. There are therefore better alternatives just around the corner.

Unfortunately rather bad. Reviews will also be deleted.

I came from Frankfurt especially for these kebabs. Actually you don't even have to say just look at the pictures. Bread is completely burnt. Maybe very dry and cold. The employees don't even look at customers' eyes. They play with their cell phones all the time. Very unfortunate.

Ate kebab at 12 p.m., diarrhea and vomiting at 6 p.m. Never experienced it! Once and never again!

The worst kebab I've ever eaten in my life

Back then the kebab was really tasty, well filled, large and the price-performance ratio was absolutely right. The staff were friendly and I was always satisfied. Unfortunately my impression changed completely on my last visit. We ordered the kebab to take away and the bread was completely dented and smaller than before. The cocktail sauce had hardly any taste, the meat had lots of hard, barely edible spots, and to make matters worse, we found hair in the kebab. The employees were also unfriendly, which made the whole thing even more unpleasant. Overall I am very disappointed. It's a shame that the quality has deteriorated so much.

Now, joking aside, I was eating or ordering there on January 4th, 2025 at around 5 p.m. The employee behind the counter was very, very unfriendly and just didn't feel like doing his job, so then leave and stop working, the kebab or the bread was ruined very, very quickly and I could no longer eat my kebab with care, salad It was very little and for the price of just under 10 euros, the staff and the food were just shit. After I ordered, a man came with his child (son) to order, the dad asked very nicely and politely how much a plate of kebab costs, the employee then ignored him twice and the third time the customer got louder and the employee answered with a look but yourself.

I did it, ate kebab at Poldi's. A nice shop, clean, friendly staff. Unfortunately we didn’t see Poldi 😂

Disappointing, I think the chicken wasn't cooked well due to the crowd and he puts so much sauce on it that your hands and face are covered in sauce, the bread is small and falls apart. It wasn't delicious.

Very comfortable. I wish there were small trash cans at the tables

I was treated like this: I was there, there was only a Lieferando driver standing in front of me. After 5 minutes the driver got his order and left. I look at two young men and wait until I can order. They just ignored me as if I didn't exist. I wanted to talk to her, but then another driver came. The two simply made the order for him. I kept waiting, but after 10 minutes I couldn't take it anymore. I had to leave the store frustrated. I've been living in Cologne for 4 years and have only eaten kebab here since then. The employees at the time even knew me. For the first time I experience so-called racism. Too bad!

In principle the kebab was ok but don't ask me about a sauce if you decide for yourself what to put on it anyway ☺️I was looking forward to my herb sauce and then had to eat tzatziki 😔 The store was very busy and everything was hectic and chaotic

The food has nothing to do with kebab at all. Tastes sweet, hardly any meat and is cold.

Ordered and received 2 kebabs and then 4 kebabs quickly debited by card. Never ever

Food okay, service was very rough, toilet charge €1 despite ordering food. Cost extra, but there was no working conditioner, soaps or towels.

Best Donner shop in the foot of the DOM.

The staff is super friendly and accommodating. The food is tasty but nothing more. I can't really understand the big hype that exists here.

Really one of the best kebabs I've eaten.

Passing through Cologne during our holidays, we tasted their kebab. Excellent and generous! Very friendly and French-speaking staff, loll

Just standard kebab, no toilet, ready-made meat, cold fries

Really really bad. Not comparable to the quality two years ago. The staff only understands half of it and I haven't experienced anything worse in terms of taste this year. Absolutely not recommended! Paid extra for cheese and didn't get any cheese😂

Good location but unfortunately the quality is lacking. Don't go there guys. I got terrible food poisoning from a kebab that cost almost 8 euros... Never again!

Too little, bad German! I'd rather leave my money opposite or get gyros from Calypso in the future!

Something should be offered for the fact that the kebab is so expensive... It's really embarrassing how much is delivered...

Below average when it comes to kebabs

Unfortunately the kebab was cold and rather carelessly topped. I would have expected more.

Old meat because it was diarrhea

On Monday we went out for a kebab in the evening. The kebab was really worth it, the meat was well seasoned, the sauces were delicious, the salad was fresh and the bread also tasted very good and fresh. The next time we're in Cologne we'll be happy to come back and enjoy it

Everything great Tasty meat and good staff Price has increased everywhere

I just had dinner there and I have to say that I am very disappointed. The staff were extremely unfriendly and the bread was ice cold. Some of the kebab meat was raw and therefore inedible. There was also significantly more sauce on it than usual, which meant the bread fell apart and was no longer edible after one bite. Everything was far too cold overall, and something like that has never happened to me before. It was really a sad experience.

When asked whether the meat was grilled and not packed almost raw into the bread, the answer was almost aggressive. In the end we left the shop and ate a properly grilled kebab somewhere else.

Delicious döner but bread was so hard I couldn't bite it. I asked for a durum and get a loaf of bread. Döner was really tasty, but the bread was bad. Service was not that great. There was no atmosphere

The meat and bread tasted very delicious. I have never eaten such a delicious kebab in my entire life. I can only recommend it

Very friendly service. The kebab always tastes great!!! I can only recommend Mangal.

Ordered kebab with veal and got chicken but that wasn't it... the meat was completely raw.

dear boys, but the meat was bad. 🤮

The kebab is just the usual veal kebab, is probably made for this chain according to its own recipe, which distinguishes it from other kebabs, many buy their meat from the same dealer and improvise with the sauces, at Mangal he has other spices in the meat. THAT'S IT. The employees are extremely overwhelmed, can hardly communicate and argue in their own language, in German, yes, you can easily imagine it. I treated myself to a kebab, it didn't fill me up and then I wanted to get a plate to take away. They didn't want to serve me or another guest anymore because they had overlooked an order of 43 kebabs and they were supposed to get it first. It goes even further, instead of serving 2 guests to then make 43, they take down the old skewer because it wouldn't have been enough for 43 and make the gentleman wait again. If he's going to wait for a new skewer, why not make 2 orders. Very incompetent, the kebab isn't that good, a little further from the kebab house it tasted better, and nice employees who understand their craft. The kebab tastes best in Munich, if someone ever visits Munich then try HANS KEBAB. The other Mangal stores may of course be different, I wasn't there, so I can't judge it.

Katastrophenfall, der Donner war /Brötchen kalt , Fleisch kalt und hart , war ich richtig sauer ! Also nicht weiter empfehlen...ich habe mehr erwartet...

It was cold and the prices were way too high. House kebabs are a thousand times more familiar to me

Those who think the kebab is good have no idea about kebab, how can you find something like that good?🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ I ate it once, first of all, it's tk kebab so it's not even fresh, it's like a pressed liver sausage that was burned, disgusting

On vient d'abord ici sans doute pour sa renommer et parceque c'est le kebab a Podolski mais au final le service a été rapide, et le sandwich fameux. Après pour le meilleur soit disant, ça vaut pas non plus le Corsaire a St Antoine 🩵🤍

Eeeh thank you Podolski 🇩🇪 We first came here probably to rename it and because it's the kebab in Podolski but in the end the service was quick, and the sandwich was famous. Afterwards for the so-called best, it's not worth the Corsaire in St Antoine either 🩵🤍

very small kebab, bread was cold and tough, the meat was sticky and weak, we were disappointed

Omg, such amazing kebab! Best I've eaten in a while!

Lukas knows how kebab is cooked. Simply still great.

Great service and delicious kebab

Unfortunately all the dishes were cold and not really tasty.

Mangal Bonnerstrasse: I was outrageously charged more than I was supposed to pay. Unfortunately, I saw it too late when paying by card, or only after my bank showed me the bill on my cell phone. The salad was unwashed, which we unfortunately noticed during the meal because it was like biting sand. Super dangerous for pregnant women and also not ideal for the teeth. Price performance is unfortunately terrible! I can't think of anything else. That was the last time.

Never order with all sauces! The seller doesn't look like Lukas Podolski is just ripping off

Unfortunately the kebab only arrived half full! No tzatziki even though ordered! Doner kebab was absolutely cold! Unfortunately not recommended! At that price it's an absolute disaster

You couldn't really talk to the staff. Any ambiguity was immediately frowned upon. “Huh, what? Don’t we have,” “bacon or chicken?” I wanted veal…. For 9€ a Dürüm, which is more suitable as a starter. The only thing that excited me was the modern payment machine.

No cash payment possible. Employees are unfriendly and incompetent.

Really awesome kebab can only be recommended to the whole world,

Ordered 3 plates of greasy food with squirty sauces and 2 drinks which cost me more than €40. Checked my bank upon returning to my hotel and they have CHARGED ME TWICE!! Robbery!

The kebab was very tasty. However, the bread is not my favorite.

Actually, the kebab always tastes good. Today they packed me something very special. -.- 🤮

Mandal a Colonia offre il miglior kebab che abbia mai mangiato! Carne succosa, perfettamente speziata e accompagnata da ingredienti freschi, il tutto racchiuso in un pane soffice e croccante. Le porzioni sono abbondanti e il servizio rapido e cortese. Se sei a Colonia e cerchi un kebab davvero eccezionale, Mandal è una tappa obbligata!

The staff was friendly, but did not speak German. Space to sit was a disaster. I ordered Poldi's Dürüm, what was in it was disgusting... Aside from the cartilage, it also contained a lot of fatty meat. I took a photo of the largest piece of the fat rind, it was still hairy. I lose all appetite.

I'm actually a regular. When I think of kebab, the first thing I do is go to the mangal in lime. In my experience the kebab has always been good but today that wasn't the case. Bread was stone hard, tomatoes tasted like nothing. The employees gave me the impression that they were overworked and overwhelmed. It's a shame it has to come this far before a review.

Dog who gives this shop anything other than a 5, homemade bread, great meat, salad and sauce, we don't need to say much, best kebab that my mouth has ever touched and +points because there weren't many customers when I ate there, that's all was done quickly and neatly

The meat wasn't tasty, it was cold, then there was no warm bread, just store-bought flatbread, far too little sauce, sorry, impossible for the money MFG

I come from Frankfurt am Main. We don't have a branch of the kebab shop. I've often planned to come here but it never worked out, except today... I have to say the ambience was good. Everything was clean. The bread and meat were really tasty. The hot sauce was really hot too! I give Poldi props for that.... We very rarely have a hot sauce in Frankfurt that is actually really hot! I was really very surprised by the kebab. I didn't think it would be really good! Ok, at 10€ it wasn't exactly cheap, of course you also pay for the name Poldi, but it tastes good and that makes up for the price! I would be happy if Poldi would also open a branch in Frankfurt am Main.

Staff was slightly overwhelmed that day. The ambience is nice but it could need more care 😎

I ordered a kebab plate and all I can say is the meat is absolutely top, fries too and 2 delicious sauces! Went quickly and the staff was friendly! And I was also in Düsseldorf and everything was great! I have no idea what some people are rating here!

Can you eat water? Lukas Podolski: Yes It's pointless to even call something like that a kebab. 0 taste. The only thing that had any taste was the cola. Go play football again. Stay away from kebab!

Was there today and I have to say it was unfortunately a disappointment. With the name Lukas Podolski I was expecting a good kebab but unfortunately I was very disappointed. The bread was old and tough. The meat had no taste and was quite dry. The kebab was very full but unfortunately still not what I expect from a kebab. Definitely won't go there again.

The restaurant has no seats. You have to take the food with you. The kebab is very tasty. Also ideal for getting rid of your change at the ATM.

The kebab is certainly delicious. But I doubt whether it's worth it or not.

Ordered 7 kebabs: paid €52.50! 4 with salad and all completely wrong only the meat was right :) Doner kebab is getting smaller and more expensive. It no longer tasted good after the wrong filling. I'd rather spend the €7.50 at HSD. I haven't been disappointed there so far and at Mangal (no matter which one) it's the 4th time.

You don't even deserve one star.. only sent the food out later than late and "forgot" the relevant ingredients. Who the hell eats something like that without sauce? Please reflect before you act

There was Tamşrat, we didn't feel comfortable

Me and my wife had a terrible food poisoning after eating here yesterday. Didn’t eat anything else in the evening. We ate here several times before this and everything was ok though.

Here I ate my first kebab in my life. He is perfect. Meat, salads and sauces create a perfectly balanced composition. I try to come back here every year
