Mangal Restaurant in Köln

Friendly staff I tried lot of items on the menu All were really superb

The place was very stylish, elegant, and very clean. We had the cağ kebab and enjoyed it very much. I'd also like to mention that they had a great music list. They played songs that weren't distracting or distracting from conversation, but were enjoyable to listen to. The restroom was very clean, and I congratulate the place for that, as many establishments don't pay attention to this.

Best kebab I've eaten in Germany for over 10 years, a real treat for the palate, excellent meat melts in the mouth, nothing to say, just go for it, you won't be disappointed.

Very bad food. The meat smelled very bad. Burnt food. Unfriendly staff. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Apparently it was supposed to be a good barbecue restaurant - we called to reserve, the restaurant told us that there were no reservations - I came with my pregnant wife, they made us wait 1 hour and put his friends and acquaintances in our seats - zero service!

Cagkebabi was delicious, but since it was crowded, your order might arrive with a delay. The reason they didn't want to serve cagkebabi between bread is because it would be against the business concept. It's understandable, but if you went from Holland specifically for cagkebabi and the wait time was long, I think they could deviate from the concept for customer satisfaction. Thanks to the well-intentioned and understanding chef, we were able to get 1 piece of bread. If you say it doesn't matter how you eat it, but what you eat matters, yes, we had delicious cagkebabi, but would I go again? No, I won't!

Mangal isn't what it used to be. Unfortunately.

I think it's very hard to find the old taste anymore. I'm disappointed for the second time; the Çağ kebab is no longer delicious. The meat isn't the same quality it once was. I hope it returns soon.

The waiters here were the rudest I've ever seen. They were disrespectful, uncaring, and didn't care about customers. I would never come back, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Very friendly staff and testy foods . Loved it

A wonderful welcome and very fast service. Adana kebab was very delicious and the raw meatballs that came with it were amazing. I recommend it to everyone. Thank you for your effort and heart. See you again soon.

They are forcing a very bad thing as a service.

It's not worth a penny. It was good before, but now the food is cold and the meat is served without cooking. I don't recommend the chefs at all. It's a waste of your money.

This restaurant is highly recommended. We had grilled chicken skewers. They came on a hot plate, so they stayed hot. The chicken tasted absolutely delicious. It came with salad and fries/rice (depending on your choice). Everything was delicious. To start, there were three types of meze and çiğ köfte.

The cag kebab was truly amazing. The lahmacun was incredibly crispy. The chops were legendary. The meatballs and Adana kebab could have been a bit better. I've added them to my favorites. Thank you for your excellent service.

The food was okay (although the kellepaca was excellent), but the service from Ahmet and Enes overcame everything. They are very professional! I will definitely be back.

Great Turkish food. I'll be back :)

The level of interest and relevance was low.

Mangal restaurant is a privilege, perfect in every way.

Actually, I thought it was always good there. However, this time they served "cağ kebab," which consisted almost entirely of gristle—and lots of bread with tomato sauce, so it was almost like an Iskender made of gristle. It had absolutely nothing to do with real cağ kebab—they're not even skewers. Don't order cağ kebab with yogurt and tomato sauce there—they don't serve skewers, just gristle! And you pay full price for it! Disappointing.

We haven't been here in ages, and last time we weren't quite as satisfied. This time it was even worse. Our Yoğurtlu Adana Kebap was grilled for too long, making it dry and salty. The toasted bread wasn't anything special either. We won't be back.

Unfortunately, the Adana was far too spicy, and the pide was quite dry. Furthermore, the service was disappointing—when we didn't tip, we didn't even get a "goodbye" or "see you again." Overall, it wasn't a particularly pleasant experience.

We've enjoyed eating here for years. However, on our last visit a few weeks ago, the service went so wrong that we went home really annoyed. Today we got a kebab (to go) and gave the place another chance. What can I say: The kebab had gone up in price, but it was only half full and apparently had new kebab meat. Unfortunately, we didn't like it and it's not worth the price. We won't be coming back a third time. Two annoyances are enough.

Very good staff and excellent food. I can definitely recommend it!

Visited again after a long time and again very disappointed!!

We've tried many places in Cologne. The best restaurant is definitely Mangal. Everything was perfect. Simply THE BEST 👍

The atmosphere is good, the food is cold, for whatever reason. If you complain, you get new food! I want it to work right away; it's just a kebab, not a rocket! The managers should take a look at the place where the cold food is coming from! Date: August 24, 2025, Time: 3:23 PM, Order 45, please have a look at the neighboring table, same problem!

We as a family loved it. I recommend it to everyone.

Sedat was so nice and hospitable!!! I can only recommend him

I was in Cologne for a short city break from Nuremberg and visited the Mangal Restaurant. From the moment I walked in, I felt very comfortable. We ordered Kelle Paça soup and Cağ Kebab – simply fantastic! The soup was hearty and aromatic, and the Cağ Kebab was incredibly tender and full of flavor. I would also like to particularly highlight the staff: very friendly, attentive, and professional; you feel truly welcome. For me, it was a real highlight of my trip to Cologne. If you're in Cologne and want authentic and delicious food, you should definitely visit this restaurant. I'd love to come back!

We tried the cağ kebab. It was truly delicious.

You get bread, tzatziki, and ezme at the start. We had the hand-made skewer and the 2-person platter. The food was delicious, and the service was very fast. The 2-person platter included veal, hand-made meat, lamb chops, and Turkish bread. The restrooms are very clean. For dessert, we had sütlaç (baked rice pudding), which was also delicious. However, we only vacationed in Cologne and are from Schleswig-Holstein. Perhaps you could open a Mangal restaurant in Lübeck or Hamburg.

Unfriendly service, clueless about orders, rude responses to special requests, old and inedible salad. The rest of the food was fine and clean.

First and last time at Mangal. The food was very bad. The meat was undercooked, the salad was sour, and I don't even want to talk about the side dishes. The staff seemed pretty annoyed and got upset at the slightest question.

Unfriendly staff + old salad you can taste but it's still okay

Delicious dishes from the charcoal grill. Service could be better, as could the ambiance itself. The price/performance ratio is fair.

Unfortunately the portions are very small, you could offer a little more for this price

Unfortunately, it was very disappointing. There were leftovers in the pide and sponge on the dishes... very expensive.. We left very dissatisfied.

Good eating good service and beat cook 🧑‍🍳 Omar and iam lucky he was speaking Arabic every one must go there

I had a great experience at this Turkish grill restaurant The food was incredibly tasty and it was actually my first time trying a meal served on hot charcoal which gave it an amazing smoky flavor that really stood out I ordered a mixed grill platter for two with rice and fries and everything was perfectly cooked and full of flavor The portions were generous and the presentation was really nice I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for authentic Turkish grilled food with a special touch

I go to cologne from Maastricht to eat Cağ kebab in here. I would recommend it to everyone.

We're going from Belgium just to eat Çağ döner there. This is our third visit.

Everything is delicious, the food was delivered quickly, the service was great! Maybe I wanted to hear more music. But remember, the most important thing is who you came here with)

I'd happily return again. The hospitality and cleanliness were top-notch. The service was very friendly and helpful. The food was simply delicious. Highly recommended.

I love the Mangal Restaurant in Cologne! They're raving about it for a reason; they keep their promises. The food is a 10/10! Always fresh, delicious, and the service is always very friendly. Mangal Cologne gives its best. We're happy to come back to you in Cologne again and again.

On my way to Öz Harran, I decided to try this place because of the quality of the Mangal Döner. I'm not exaggerating; you won't find kebabs like this in the Netherlands, nor the service or generosity like this. I even enjoyed the bread I ate, it's a very high-quality place. The prices are also very reasonable, even lower than in the Netherlands. I loved it. It will definitely be my go-to spot in Cologne.

Our first time in Köln and we got this restaurant recommended. You’ll not be disappointed… have the Turkish tee at the end 👍

We came from Adana for a week's vacation. A beautiful place that made us feel like we were in Turkey. The staff, in particular (Ahmet and another waiter whose name we don't know), were very attentive, and the food was delicious. Thank you so much for everything. We highly recommend it.

We were in the restaurant around midnight on July 7, 2025, with a group of six people, and we were the only guests. Accordingly, we were greeted and served immediately. We all ordered lamb skewers, as the selection was very limited at that time of day. The food was served on special platters. Up until then, everything seemed fine. The meat served was definitely not lamb. It tasted of liver and veal. Presumably, the grill hadn't been cleaned, and the customer before us had ordered liver. In any case, the meat was inedible. I had to stop eating to relieve myself in time. Unfortunately, this continued until the morning. Acute diarrhea. Everyone in the group was affected. We would have preferred to be sent away than to be served such a mess. Unfortunately, I can't give it zero points.

It was great food and hospitality. Especially grill plate was delicious and waiter was really friendly and nice.

Lahmacun was really bad, it was like mud. I am giving this score for the sake of the mediocre döner and rice we ate on the first day.

Great service. Nice place, good food. Only the kofte was not good because it was not minced beef. It was taken off the bill which was absolutely not necessary, and as an extra also tatli on the house. There are few places where the service is so good! Absolutely recommended.

Tasty, clean, and friendly staff! Totally recommended.

Delicious food and good service!

Cağ is a very successful restaurant, the waiters are friendly, I actually buy döner from here, I recommend both.

I visited this restaurant many times very busy in exhibitions times, Very delicious i can't forget that taste 😋

Their products were not very tasty and the service was also very slow. As someone coming from Türkiye, you feel happy when you enter but there is not much warmth inside.

On a friend's recommendation, eight of us went there and ordered various meat dishes. No one was satisfied with the doneness or flavor of the meat. The service staff was inadequate. The drinks we ordered only arrived after several reminders.

We took a trip to Mangal to try something different – ​​Çağ Kebap. When the dish was served, I initially expected it to be presented with a bit more decoration. However, the simple presentation probably reflects the uniqueness of the dish, which isn't available everywhere. For our meal, we chose two versions: the classic Çağ Kebap and the Çağ Kebap with yogurt. We found it to be quite tasty – although I had imagined something different. But as they say, tastes differ. All in all, it was an interesting experience.

One of the best iskender so far! No doubt about it. Definitely come visit

A lovely little Turkish restaurant with incredibly friendly and welcoming service and delicious food. I've been there several times and will definitely go again.

Cağ kebabs are very good, portions are quite sufficient. They are also successful in service. I recommend it.

I can recommend it to everyone. The cag kebab and steak doner are simply amazing.

We are very pleased, baker friend, well done, nice cubed pita

Top service, friendly owner and staff. The food was also delicious.

Super delicious and absolutely recommended 👍🏻

Everything was excellent (from the service to the food). My mother and I had a great time! ❤️I recommend it!

Everything is delicious! Everything is top-notch! The owner and the waiters are always friendly and professional! The highlight is the delicious food!

The food is of very high quality, especially the meat. The service is super nice and friendly, and the value for money is right. I can only recommend it.

Unfortunately, the yaprak doner wasn't tasty. The service was nice.

I got scammed there, I ordered mix grill for two and some other things and waitress asked me many times if I want Döner in the mix grill and I told him many times two while showing him on the menu that I want the mix grill for 46 euros and he said okey with Döner but got surprised at the end that he charged me 14€ more for the Döner and when I confronted him, he admitted his mistake but still made me pay for it. Very disappointed and last time there!!!

The food was very tasty. The meat/food is served on a hot stone. The restaurant is rather small and crowded.

Very authentic Turkish food especially Cag Kebab tastes so delicious.

Very good Turkish restaurant. Kelle paca soup was delicious, very good Cag kebabi and great pide and lahmacun. The best desert was kunefe. Highly recommended, good restaurant setting also suitable for families.

Teşekkürler for the food and the service, shoutout to Bahar and Riza 🫡

I definitely recommend Cag kebab.

Simply perfect, thank you very much for providing such quality service, from the service to the food, from the dishes to the desserts. Best regards from Nuremberg 🙏🏻 Einfach perfect! Vielen Dank für den exzellenten Service, die köstlichen Speisen und Desserts. Danke, dass Sie einen so hochwertigen Service bieten. Liebe Grüße aus Nürnberg!

The food tasted delicious, but the service wasn't very focused

Best Mangal Restaurant in Cologne

The ambience is nice and the kebab tastes really good. It is also well located right next to Duisburg main station, so you can quickly grab something to eat between, before or after a train journey.

We wanted to try Çağ kebab because it was highly praised. Our first visit and we liked it very much. The service was quick and courteous. We are satisfied

The food is rather below average. Not spicy at all

Great kebab to take away ♡♡♡ Fresh & price is right :)

Yediğimiz en güzel Cağ Kebap tavsiye ederim the best delicious I really liked it very soft meat

It was a bit too loud, the acoustics aren't that good, but the food was really tasty and arrived quickly. There was flatbread with yogurt-mint dip and a slightly spicier dip to welcome you and the main courses were also very tasty. Thumbs up. 😀

The restaurant is mediocre. The prices for main courses are high (€19 each for the main course) and are not that big. The flavors of the food didn't come through that well and in general it was a bit dry and not very spicy. The dips that were served beforehand were delicious. The service was also okay, the waiters seemed hectic and quite reserved. The Cağ Kebap is heavily advertised and that's why I had to try it. It was sliced ​​very thinly and the portion was therefore really small and dry, but at the same time there was a lot of fat. Too bad, I wouldn't recommend it.

Unfortunately, it's deteriorated considerably. It feels like you're sitting at ONE table with the entire restaurant, all cramped. The service has also deteriorated; the waiter was unfriendly. I won't be coming back.

Old meat for far too expensive prices

It's delicious. Their employees are respectful. A kind business.

This is a great shop that is highly recommended. Food top service top. It's kind of a shame that they're so far away from me, otherwise I might come by more often. Big compliments again to the kitchen.

The food was delicious. Service was unbelievable. Customers were ok too. I felt very comfortable in this restaurant.

Biggest rubbish you can't give something like that to a customer, the food is burnt and tastes like nothing!!!

The lamb skewer was delicious but tough. Hazelnut lahmacun was tasteless. Ayran was nice. Yoghurt is enough for your island. Our expectations were very high. So: "I wish we hadn't spent this money and eaten at home!" made me say. Would we go again? Yes, you can go.

Closes earlier than stated on Google. Went there extra, annoying.

I can recommend it without hesitation. Top quality, price is a bit too high but it's ok. Service is friendly and accommodating...

Attention, not every dish is served with kebab meat from a charcoal grill. Most of the time you get the cheap meat from the rotisserie next door. 🫤 More than disappointing!

It is a business that I prefer based on the rating, but I do not understand why they gave this business a high score. Taste, service and prices are very bad in terms of price/performance.

For the late dinner there was a rump steak for my wife and a mixed grill plate for me. As a starter there was Içli Köfte, which is highly recommended! To drink there was homemade Ayran. Everything was very tasty and good! There are 4 stars because everything should have potential for the future. 😉

Doner kebab is brought from next door and was cold. Plus bread from the day before and totally disinterested staff.

I would have given zero stars...We were in the restaurant yesterday. There were 7 of us and we all ordered Iskender…. The waiter was nice and the service was good too. However, the food arrived cold... The bread under the meat tasted old and was cold. The meat was cold… We as a family were deeply disappointed…. I couldn't help myself and pointed it out to the waiter. The waiter simply acknowledged it and didn't even apologize or try to compensate... We had to pay the full amount for our cold food…
