Mangal Restaurant in Köln

Cag kebab looked a bit like iskender and unless you have high expectations for its taste, it will meet you normally. Raw meatballs and other appetizers are successful and the staff is very attentive. Prices are average, and it is not easy to find parking for a car around the restaurant.

Slow, unfriendly, meal served cold, for the price go elsewhere

Unfortunately, I am very disappointed with my visit to this restaurant. The food was cold even though we had to wait an extremely long time for it. In addition, it didn't seem to be particularly hygienic in the restaurant - the floor and tables were dirty, and the condition of the toilet was also unacceptable. Given the quality, the price was absolutely not justified. I definitely cannot recommend this restaurant.

Good food, nice service, acceptable prices.

Unfortunately the restaurant could not meet our expectations. The service was anything but friendly, and it started with the tea: The Turkish tea was extremely bitter; it was only after I asked that a fresher one that tasted better came. I also ordered an Urfa but received an Adana. The Adana was also raw and inedible on the inside - this is unacceptable at these prices. You could be much happier in a snack bar around the corner.

I ordered the chef’s special I think and that was the best Turkish meal, I’ve ever had. Would definitely recommend!

The most beautiful Turkish restaurant I have seen in NRW. Very friendly staff and excellent cuisine. The toilets are very stylishly furnished and match the ambience. We'll come back any time.

Slow service, normal dishes but for this price I prefer to take a local kebab

Unfriendly staff Food could be better

I ate the mixed Kebab and it was the best in allover cologne city.

Only had dessert with Cay. Everything was fine.

Great and very tasty. Service was great.😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I was there yesterday for the first time after the renovation :) The food was very tasty, as were the starters. The main course was Yogurtlu Adana and the mixed grill plate. The service was very friendly. We'll be back :)

The ambience is much nicer compared to before. Brighter and friendlier furnished. Service is on point and friendly. The food came for 5 people at the same time, and quickly. However, since the food is served on a hot stone, there is very quickly a lack of space and you have to be careful not to turn the meat or put it on the plate, otherwise it will turn black very quickly. In addition, there is so much smoke and in the end you only smell of grilled meat. I think you can put on make-up with the stone, otherwise everything is pretty solid.

Adana kebap was one of the best! For Germany standard it was awesome. We love the sütlaç as dessert. Service may be improved but we enjoyed our night out. Please note that no reservation is not possible

Cag Kebabi was very delicious and beautiful, I recommend it to everyone.

Had my first meal in Germany, after landing at Cologne Airport, at this restaurant. Was worth it. Food, presentation, atmosphere, cleanliness and service are all excellent. My compliments to the Owner, Chef and Staff, please

The store used to be good...what a shame The staff on Bonner Str is absolutely unsympathetic

And the ayran is diluted with water, so even the salt doesn't taste good. We had dishes 97 and 99. The dish 97 didn't taste good at all. They were lamb skewers that tasted like rubber. While you are in the restaurant, tables are pushed back and forth so it is extremely loud. We visited this place last time.

That was the worst grill plate we had, it was so disappointing, you thought the shop had a big name, it had to taste good, but it was a catastrophe, the price-performance ratio was underground, there were INSECTS in the salad, i.e. on the lettuce leaves, tiny little insects, how can you be so disgusting? A customer who pays almost €30 for a ridiculously small grill plate that doesn't taste good has something like that served up?! The health department has to do an inspection and I just embarrassed myself in front of a colleague because I suggested going there

Not hot and not hot. You can eat it, but you don't have to.

Maşallah very very tasty and very nice atmosphere.

The meat is served on a hot stone. It's really nicely prepared, but if you don't take it down straight away, it will dry out quickly. Especially with chicken.

We entered the most majestic looking one. But the environment is one step behind what I expected. The service is good but could be a little more attentive. The taste part is quite good. Good speed too Recommended But it can be improved Would I go again Of course

Unfortunately, things are no longer the same as before. Cag kebabi no longer tastes good and is now very dirty.

We came from Antwerp, Belgium, just to eat Cag kebab, we were very pleased, it has a very nice atmosphere, it is a perfect family place, the food was excellent, the service is great, in short, it is a perfect place, I would definitely recommend it to everyone, hope to come again soon.

The food is really delicious, the business is very clean, the people are very friendly, they take care of you very well, I recommend you to go.

The wait was very long, but the food remains good and quality, it is easy to access in the city of KÖLN.

Delicious food with nice service only sitting is very next to each other . Price little bit expensive comparison with other turkish restaurants.

Very undercooked and not tasty anymore. Their taste is not the same anymore since a year. We come all the way from Holland but never again. Döner was delicious before but not anymore. Update; heavy diarrhea in a few hrs

I suggest going back to the old system. When Cag kebab was served on a hot stone, it did not get cold and was better. Now, serving it on a normal plate does not keep the meat hot.

Service very unfriendly. Warm glasses and cold cola. Plastic plates on the tables. A disproportionate torturous volume, so a relaxed meal is out of the question. The quality of the food is also very poor. No recommendation from me.

It wasn't particularly great. The place was packed, the waiters didn't really do their job properly, and the meat arrived at the table warm instead of hot. The meat spit was also empty at some point, so there was practically a food shortage at 7:00 in the evening. Last but not least, two people washed their feet in the narrow toilet, for whom this was apparently completely normal. Taste of the food was okay

Food is missing that certain something, tasted much better before! I put my food on the side, and staff walked past and no one noticed for 25 minutes, even though there were only us as customers in the entire restaurant

Food okay, Turkish rice disappointing, bread unfortunately not fresh, I have to honestly say the best thing about the food for me was the decoration champion.

Recommendation Cag Kebab 100% I didn't find anything else particularly special. The service is okay, there are enough people there and you generally get your things quickly. I've been there several times and sometimes there was no longer any Cag Kebab in the evening hours. Then I had to switch to other things. Not everything was as great as hoped but still ok. 19€ for a Cöp sis that is moderate and relatively small, well. The ayran was very unsalted, so in general I would only give the shop 3 stars. It's clean and relatively "upscale", but since I'm always positively pleased with the Cag Kebab, I have to give it 4 stars because that means the place has blown up again. In short, you should only eat there with several people if the Cag Kebab is still available. ^^

If you like tourist kebab, you've come to the right place. You won't necessarily be greeted with friendliness either. It would also be nice if the staff could speak more German.

Worst service I’ve ever had in Germany. There was a big family that came after I already ordered food with 10mns and got their food before me. The food I got had a bug. I was gonna tip 10% but after seeing all of that I will never go there again. Edit: for 3-4 days after I had lunch in this restaurant I woke up with pain in my stomach and it’s most likely from the food

We came from the Netherlands to eat cağ kebab and were lucky to arrive at the right time; If we had been a little later, the cağ kebab would have been finished. We learned that Cağ kebab sells out around 6-7pm every day. Normal cağ kebab was really nice. The one with yoghurt was a bit reminiscent of iskender. We also tried Lahmacun; It was crispy like in Turkey. The raw meatballs were excellent. Künefe was also very delicious. The staff at the restaurant was extremely polite and caring.

The food was very good, but unfortunately the cag kebab was not cooked well and was still bloody... I loved the chicken soup and baklava… the staff was also very nice. I recommend!

Since Google doesn't allow you to give 0 stars, I unfortunately have to give one. Where should I start…. Price performance ratio very bad. A kebab plate for €17.50??? Unfortunately I had to return the plate exactly as I received it. I couldn't touch the meat, the smell of the meat was very unpleasant and I immediately lost my appetite. The salad that came with it was soggy and brown. The only good thing was the cola. Paid €103 for 5 people at the end of the day, very cheeky for the quality!! I won't be able to see the inside of the store anymore and I can't recommend it to anyone. Traces of lime could even be seen in the Turkish tea.

I was there yesterday and can't recommend it at all. All 5 people had a kebab plate where the meat was cold and not cooked through. And the smell spoiled your appetite. At the end we had a tea where the lime layer had settled at the bottom like sugar. So for €100 you can eat something better anywhere.

It's a very rude place. The waiters literally kick the customers out. A friend of mine and I asked for a seat and asked where we should sit. He told us to wait outside in front of the door. The waiter made the people who came before us sit down. Then when I asked again, we arranged a table for you very rudely. They literally kicked the customers out in a hurry. So we went to the Adana Meat Restaurant next door. The meat was delicious and the price was cheaper. This place is either saturated with customers or the waiters are fed up with the number of customers and they don't want new customers anymore, so nie wieder!!!

I ordered the horizontal kebab (Cağ Kebabı). That's exactly how I imagine Cağ Kebabı, it tasted very good. The staff was very friendly and nice.

Very bad service. Hype on social media about the stone but nothing special. Meat is not cooked properly. Cleanliness still needs to be worked on.

It's a wonderful place and very delicious. I would like to thank the friendly staff and the owner of the place, Mr. Salih.

Good portions and delicious food. 😎

Even at the best coffee time at 3 p.m. it was no problem ordering food à la carte. Delicious, fresh and, for me, surprising accompaniments to lentil soup!

Came for Caĝ Kebap and enjoyed it. The meat and grill aroma are simply delicious. Maybe it would be a bit better if the second skewer was served later. Some people write too greasy here. This dish also thrives on fat. Yes, it's true, it becomes rubbery but it has no unpleasant smell or taste at all, which speaks for a very good quality of meat...

Vielen lieben Dank, ich war heute erstmal bei Ihnen und ich muss nur sagen, ich war sehr begeistert von Ihrem Essen und das Personal war top. Danke!

Great place, delicious food and great service, what more could you ask for?

The food didn't blow me away, the portions aren't big for the price, you can find the same thing as here in any kebab shop

I was super surprised by the taste of the kebab plate. The charcoal aroma and the juicy pieces of meat cannot be matched by any other Dürüm. The Ayran was homemade and tasted so good. The homemade sauces for the starter rounded everything off. All in all great, would come back and try the other dishes.

The food is ok. To be honest, I expected more from the name Mangal. I drove over 800km from Linz Austria to try the restaurant. To be honest, I was slightly disappointed. Price performance leaves something to be desired. We ordered a grill plate for 2 (55eur). Meat quality leaves something to be desired. Cag kebab not as good as hoped. I can say now that I've been there but I wouldn't go there again. Everyone should still try it for themselves and decide whether they like it.

Dürüm şiş was disappointing. Meat was hard and tasteless.

The food was delicious, the staff was very attentive, the portions were large. They even offer tea :)

Me and my family waited for 1 and a half hours and the food came for everyone, but it did not come to our table, when we asked, they said it was coming and I waited another hour for it.

Very small kebab shop, food very good. Recommendation: Doner sandwich with both sauces, very tasty

Today I went there, it definitely wasn't tasty and it was a dirty restaurant.

Good food and nice service. The meat is traditionally grilled over coals and tastes great! I would recommend skipping the rice and just choosing the salad instead - there is plenty of bread.

The flavors and prices were very good.

Bad meat, bread was flat cakes had mold... that's not possible! Would absolutely not recommend this store!!

On the weekend you should stand in front of the door longer until a place is free, the food is sometimes good but often not very well prepared, the grill dishes are very well sorted but also simply thrown together or grilled too much that the meat is sometimes burnt and inedible is, fellow countryman is treated and served better. Or we've just been unlucky 5 times so far.

One of the best and tastiest Turkish restaurants. I recommend No. 86 Mangal Grill

Very very very good, impeccable service, very welcoming and affordable

We ate twice on 15.04.22 and 16.04.22, Cagkebab ççve Adam Kebaba, let me tell you this, people in Berlin, take an example!!! Unfortunately, I rarely see taste, price, service and friendliness in Berlin!!! While we are offering 8.50 + 6.60 for EZME AND ÇÇIĞA in BERLIN, there is a free treat for those who buy Kenan :) Waiter brothers, you are great 2023: LEIDER HAT DIE QUALITÄT ABGENOMMEN, DER GESCHMACK IST NICHT MEHR DER SELBE ….

I have to say that I was more than disappointed. I got cold worth the food probably where it was packed from another plate on a new plate. The waiter responded so quickly and barely gave us any time to look for what we were looking for from the menu and was very hectic and had breakfast. So I don't like going out to dinner with my boyfriend on Saturday evening.

Food was exceptional, I know very few places in Köln where you can eat so good. Everyone there is super nice and the place looks ok. Unfortunately, I asked to switch table - music was super loud where I was sitting- and even if there were more table free, they did not make me switch. This was the only bad note for an otherwise very lovely and delicious dinner

Mangal is a Turkish restaurant along Weidengasse, known for its grilled meat dishes. The grilled chicken skewers were a highlight, juicy and tender, served on a hot stone plate that kept the meat warm throughout the meal. The accompaniments were perfectly balanced, featuring a fresh salad and flavorful rice. For dessert, the baklava was exceptional—nutty and fragrant, with just the right amount of sweetness. The service was friendly and professional, enhancing the overall dining experience. However, the prices are quite steep, with mains around 21€ and 8€ for four pieces of baklava. Despite the cost, the quality of the food and service makes it a worthwhile experience. Overall, a great spot for those looking to enjoy authentic Turkish cuisine.

Had cagkebab here with the family for the first time. Unfortunately we were rather disappointed. The meat was very fatty so I had to spit some of it out because it felt like chewing gum in my mouth. Other guests were so loud that we could hardly understand each other at our own table. But good things can happen. Service was OK. The portions are good too. Unfortunately there is no parking available on site. Or only with a lot of luck. We had to park further away.

Food nice but staff not very friendly A little over priced

We were not satisfied. Greasy food, unfriendly staff, uncomfortable and unkempt!

The meat is very valuable and very tasty 😋 Kebab and cağ kebab are perfectly prepared and taste just as perfect as in Turkey 🇹🇷

In terms of taste, everything was very good except the doner kebab. I think the doner kebab should either be removed from the menu or real leaf doner kebab should be offered to the customers as it would suit other delicious foods. This is the first time I've eaten such delicious Cag kebab abroad. Our lahmacun was original, not the döner kebab lahmacun. Prices were normal.

We ate cağ kebab, the wrap was really big, it was filling. I expected a nicer atmosphere from a restaurant. The employees were very attentive, but it is not a very spacious place. You can go there to fill your stomach. But I don't think it's suitable for meetings and celebrations.

Schon eine Enttäuschung, wenn bereits zu Beginn der Mittagszeit (12:15h) keine Pommes mehr im Angebot sind. Insgesamt eine recht unkoordinierte Angelegenheit. Die alternative Dönertasche war in Ordnung, auch wenn Fleisch, Soße und Salat dann noch einmal extra abgefragt wurden. Bewertung für Mangal in der Strassenkickerbase.

The staff is friendly and caring. The tables are clean, the service is fast. The portions are almost twice as filling compared to Turkey. The mixed grill arrives hot and maintains its temperature with the hot tray underneath. Grilled dishes are delicious. You can choose with confidence.

If we are in Cologne, a visit to this restaurant is a must. Very nice service and the atmosphere is just like in Turkey. Of course, the food tastes excellent. Always worth a visit.

Unfortunately, the taste of Cağ kebab is not the same as before. The quality of meat has decreased.

The food is just wow! My favorite Turkish restaurant in all of Cologne! The staff are very friendly and give you pretty good advice. Also the best künefe I have ever eaten!

The service is excellent, recommended to everyone

Best quality and prepared very quickly

Place with high quality food and exceptional service. Highly recommended if you want to eat real Turkish food.

Just dined in there for the first time and was hugely impressed by the great variety of food. What I liked especially was the service included a free dessert. Little minus points: lack of vegetarian options Payment plus: American Express accepted.

No longer the kebab it once was. Bread dry. Meat dry. No longer recommended. Lu lu lu Lukas podolski.

Unbelievably bad. Servieperdonal snooty and rude and very long waiting time. Food not worth the money. Never again!!!

I recommend it to everyone, everything is perfect

Loved the food here. Really tasty!

The shop is simply awesome, I go there twice a month just for the çağkebap, so every kilometer there is worth it

Unfortunately, the food wasn't good at all, a friend had food poisoning for food that she spent €30 on alone, which is not possible. Food is probably not fresh!

We had 15 people for dinner the day after we all had diarrhea They were also unfriendly and looked at us strangely

There is no need to explain. Come without thinking

Once and never again. Such an arrogant gastro boss and really totally unfriendly. The food was also amazing. Prices are beyond outrageous. As I said, never again...

The food was okay. The prices are a disgrace. Small price adjustment is understood; but not to this extent and then make the portions smaller. Please don't exaggerate the prices!

I can't put into words how disappointed I am with this restaurant! We were there on a Friday evening with 2 friends and traveled from 80km. We were really looking forward to the food because it was our first time there. However, unfortunately this has not been confirmed. We ordered a kebab plate, a meat platter and another dish, unfortunately the quality of the kebab meat was inferior. And instead of the meat platter we ordered, we got leftovers from another skewer. The bread that was served as a starter was neither warmed up nor toasted in any way. Overpriced prices and small portions are also the order of the day here. All in all, a real disappointment. What's on offer is probably enough for a chip shop, but not for a restaurant. One star in this review is even too many, but there is no other way to publish this review. The waiters were very nice, that was the only positive thing. I even expressed my criticism to them very nicely, and they responded with understanding.

I loved the food, it was fresh and delicious. The service was nice, too. But it was a bit too loud cuz the tables were too close to each other and we couldn't hear each other properly.

You may have to wait a while due to high demand. The employees are friendly and enjoy their job. The kebabs are cooked to the consistency of kebabs and the presentation is very successful. Thank you for your work and effort.

The visit is worth it just for the cag kebab over charcoal. Adana is also outstanding - in general, the grilled dishes are particularly worthwhile here, which are always served with salad with pomegranate syrup (very fresh), rice and bulgur. Ayran and Kaymakli Künefe are also highly recommended. You have to expect waiting times, especially on weekends and public holidays, especially in larger groups. If you come with a maximum of 4 people, it usually goes quickly.

It tastes very good, but I have heard some people say that it is not halal cut, is it true?

I have been at Cologne for 5 days for Exhibition. We eat all the staff at Mangal. Everybody loves it. Recommended all kinds of Kebap. After eating in front Künefe with a Turkish Café. It was the same as in Turkey. Congratulations to all the staff. 🇹🇷❤️🇹🇷
