Mevlana Ocakbaşı in Duisburg

Mevlana Ocakbaşı is one of the places that takes the art of kebab to the highest level! It offers a complete feast with its carefully prepared kebabs and rich appetizers, where you can feel the real Ocakbaşı flavor in every bite. Expertly cooking the meat, balance of spices and elegance of the presentation make this place special. I definitely recommend it to those who want to have a delicious evening!

Normally bustling Turkish restaurant with friendly and informative service. We all enjoyed the food.

I was there with my family and have never seen anything like it anywhere else. We ordered kuzu kaburga, saw it in the display case when we went in and specifically asked if they had it. We were told yes we have it because we saw it too and there was no one in the store in front of us. We all ordered and the appetizers arrived. After almost 15 minutes the waiter didn't come, but sent someone else who told us that kuzu Kaburga was suddenly sold out, which couldn't be right. It was given at a table who came after us and are most likely acquaintances or friends of them. I find something like that very outrageous and anti-social, so I'll never go there again. Ridiculously I just can't say anything more about it.

8€ for a small kebab and 5€ for a lahmacun only with salad. There is no pepperoni. We were looking for sheep's cheese. There was too little sauce and everything was cold. We don't have to have it again.

Everything was great, the food tasted great and the staff was very nice

The food was really delicious, we were treated very friendly and courteously and there was nothing missing. The 3 of us were there for a good 3 hours after eating, getting tea and chatting

I highly recommend Serdar Bey's hospitality and food at Mevlana Oçakbaşı. Be sure to stop by when you go.

The food was very delicious, the staff was very kind. fair master

Are you kidding me? I didn't talk to anyone because the food was expensive. I just didn't like the food and made a comment. I'm not saying there was no effort, but the taste was terrible. If I didn't have money, what would I do in a restaurant? Prices are written on the menu. If it was expensive, I would get up. Don't misinform people who read comments here. Write the truth so people can understand.

Very nice restaurant was with my whole family there 8 people it was very tasty Grill master from yesterday just great work very nice very wide and I get a little scared but very personable and the service was also TOP With kind regards, Niklas

WE STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND IT! Although we first preferred this place for its delicious food, we experienced that the quality decreased with each visit and customer satisfaction was disregarded. We were very embarrassed, especially when we went with our guests, due to the attitudes of "some" staff working here (not the waiters!). Although we talked to the business owner about these situations, which we do not consider appropriate to the understanding of tradesmanship, we decided not to go to this place anymore (many feedbacks were inconclusive). As an exception, we saw that the same problems continued during the times we spent with our friends and relatives who took us there. Especially when we wanted to host our family coming from abroad here with a few other families, it was completely unacceptable to reduce the amount/portion of meat on the mixed grill! But according to the business owner and his employees, this was because they served groups this way (even though you pay the full price, you have to accept that the portion gets smaller in the crowd). On our last visit, our guest could not finish the meal due to the disgusting oily and different smell of Adana kebab, and this smell/taste was a bad quality that we experienced for the first time (even though Adana kebab was our favorite dish in the past!) In addition, orders placed over the phone are often misperceived and the customer is blamed. The contradictions regarding the price policy / the fact that the meals are more expensive than many other restaurants and the aim of making money from even the smallest things in spite of customer satisfaction are not unique to this business; on the contrary, we see that dozens of customers have given up on these businesses due to the same concerns in many Turkish businesses. We did not feel the need to write as we knew that explaining our experiences in more detail could not be considered "self-criticism" by the business owners (from the responses given to other customers' comments). But we STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND you to go and experience it yourself!

You wait 2 hours for your food and are comforted with tea. Bad service

Very very bad service. You wait an hour for your food and no one comes to say that there is no more. Nobody apologizes. EVERYONE CAN'T Speak GERMAN AND CAN'T TAKE AN ORDER SAD

I would like to share our first and last experience with you. We ordered the mixed grill, the Adana kebab on the grill smelled like grease. Of course, lamb meat has a meat-specific smell, but this was a different smell you know. The salad plate that came with the meal, which had a portion price of 25€, was ridiculously small. I definitely do not recommend it.

Everything great , Apart from the small ketchup and mayo sachets, just put a large bottle on the table or a small plate with some of the sachets before you annoy the waiter with them every time or have to interrupt your meal to say it again because of the demand Can I still have a sachet of ketchup, or should I bring my own bottle the next time I eat 🤔 Otherwise highly recommended, I've been there many times

A great restaurant, the food is really great and the service is also very nice. All in all I highly recommend it, meat is grilled really well in the coals.

Great atmosphere, nice staff, perfect food👍👍👍

The Mevlana restaurant has very friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. The food was ok, but unfortunately the portions are comparatively small despite the higher price than the competition. That's why only the 3 stars.

I was extremely disappointed with the service I received here. From the moment I walked in I felt completely unwelcome. The staff were rude and disrespectful and there was clearly a clear bias against women. This went beyond just bad service; It was personal and extremely unprofessional. The food was equally disappointing. It was unevenly prepared, tasteless and clearly made without care or attention. Considering the prices I expected much better quality, but I regret choosing to eat here. My questions and requests were either ignored or dismissed with arrogance, while I witnessed male customers being treated much more politely. This type of behavior is completely unacceptable in the service industry. Other than that, the overall service was an absolute disgrace: long waiting times, unclear communication and a complete unwillingness to resolve problems. The entire experience was uncomfortable and frustrating; I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. If this is the standard way this business operates, I would highly recommend they invest in training and awareness programs to address their toxic and discriminatory culture. Until then I will never come here again and recommend others stay away too.

Very good shop to get something sensible.

It's a really nice and delicious place. A nice Turkish cuisine in Germany..💝🤗👏👏

Just great! Very tasty and fresh food. The portions were huge. The service was also very friendly. You get free bread with dips and a Cay, totally hospitable. The atmosphere is nice and cozy and you can have a good conversation. Clear recommendation, we'll be back!

Super delicious food. The soups are also super delicious. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Always happy to be there.

I think the döner kebab is the best in Duisburg, I deduct points for the service because a cola that costs 2 or 2.5 euros should not be 200 ml.

Another inconsistency is the lack of salad other than pita and lahmacun. Small sachets of sauce also cost money. Thinking only about money should not be a restaurant's principle.

Friendly staff, delicious food, nice rustic atmosphere... I like eating there. Prices are not that high either, so affordable for everyone... a large and upscale (mixed grill plate, generous) meal/person. 25€ (drink included). I can recommend it. I will continue to visit the store.

Very tasty, just good but I don't remember the name of the dish👍👍

Most arrogant service ever. Update Sep 19, 2024: A young lady served me at the checkout and pre-ordered. She was very rude and loud to me and couldn't explain to me how the price came about. She said to me it doesn't matter what I typed, it's true. I even threatened her that I wouldn't want the food anymore because I took it for my hungry family.

For me the first address if I want to eat Turkish in Duisburg!

Very tasty food with top service and good prices. Absolutely recommended.

Actually a great shop with nice furnishings and good quality, but in recent years the quality has deteriorated and the prices have risen massively

Not as tasty as it was back then

We waited for 10 minutes and even took the menu ourselves from the next table. Even though we were passed by so many times, no one paid attention and we had to get up without eating. I don't know about the food, but the interest is a HUGE ZERO!!!

Their chicken soup was definitely my favourite, it was excellent, their künefe is legendary and their kebabs are also good, but I don't recommend the döner.

Hello Ms. Gamze, I work as a master at Mevlana. You came and ordered two kebabs and told the waiter that the meat was missing. I will come to your table and explain to you how much meat there is in the kebab. Then, when the cash register was coming, you said that the meats were not cooked. If the meats were not cooked, why did you eat the food? You were not, and even though I was right, I did not take retribution from you. If you remember.

Today we ordered an Adana and a Kuzuşiş Dürüm. Both had everything in them except meat. What was there was partly raw. Ayran was okay. According to the employee, both Dürüms are always occupied like this by default. This means that something should urgently change in the “standards”.

The service was a disaster, and calling the store MEVLANA and having a RÌESIEGES PRAYER HOUSE in the room and still selling COCACOLA PRODUCTS is a DOUBLE MORAL for us. Unfortunately disappointing because of that

I was there with my family for the first time today and it was great 👍🏽. We ordered a mixed grill plate in the middle for 4 people and it was very tasty 😋. The waiters and the service were all top 😃. Would recommend it to you 🤗!!

Duisburg is one of the nice places where you can eat meat products. Taste and staff service are good. Bon appetit in advance.

So really the stupidest employees in the store, pouring hot soup in front of a little baby, of course the baby touches it because it's still a baby!!! Hot soup falls on the child and now causes severe burns forever, really not recommended to anyone if you want to protect your family, this waitress deserves a few years in prison for this stupidity!

It's an amazing Turkish Halal restaurant Kind waitress and you get treated well For the people go to this place Top restaurant good service And good quality food Nice interior and hygienic Recommended to all db goers

We are regular guests and are very satisfied with the service and the food offered there. Highly recommended

Great restaurant with a quiet atmosphere. Very tasty food and very friendly waiters. I recommend it to everyone!

Wherever I go, I always come back here again. Nothing beats the taste and service of this place. I would like to thank the Mevlana team for hosting me and my family very well...

Best lentil soup ever and homemade ayran 👌🏼

Great service and really very tasty!

I bought 4 kebab plates. The taste is really great I couldn't finish it even though I was very hungry. It was the best kebab I've eaten in a long time. Great

I went this morning upon recommendation, it was very nice, both the soup and the service, everything was great 👌🏻 thank you for caring so much about your customers 🙏 and the ambiance in the back hall was like Turkey!

Started today with paça as a starter. Afterwards we had lamb skewers and Adana kebab. Very good! Top quality!

Very tasty prices top selection plenty

Food wasn't tasty, service is very bad and unfriendly staff. Never eat there again 🙂‍↕️

After the change of ownership, the service unfortunately decreased, e.g. no more starters.

We ordered and picked up 13 kebab pockets and 2 pommdöner. All 13 kebab pockets were incorrectly filled. Some had hardly any meat in them, others only had meat without salad. I called to clarify this over the phone. A gentleman was on the phone who said: Wait a minute, Ibo Ibo, put the receiver down and then said: “No, he says he did everything just like that” Zero ability to criticize, no apology, no real communication! NEVER AGAIN!!! I definitely don't recommend it!

It's worth visiting this restaurant, cheap and good food especially the service is excellent very good.

very nice stuff make you feel comfortable. good food spatially the lamb soap

Menus an Ramadan sehr reichvoll und alles sehr lecker. They have very nice Ramadan menus, full of them. The meat is delicious and it's a great place to go with your family. There is nothing to say about the service, everyone is friendly anyway. Personal sehr freundlich. :)

Very nice service and we were served straight away, unfortunately we had to leave the table where we were already sitting. A table was reserved for 8 people, but by the time we left the store no guests had occupied the table. Well, I think the food tasted much better before where the first manager was, there were also a lot of changes in ownership 🤷🏽‍♀️ Where the food didn't taste any different than it does now.

This is the place we came from out of town with my wife and children and found it by chance. We would like to thank Ms. Funda for her interest and sincerity. We liked them, they are friendly, warm and sincere, I definitely recommend them, come and bring them.

Price performance is not right. The portions are very small and everything is so hectic. You would like to eat in peace. Hygiene is not necessarily a priority either. I noticed how one of the employees had his finger in the cup when he wanted to pour soup. I wouldn't have eaten this soup with my finger in the cup.

Very tasty and prices are also good, lots of seating options, homemade ayran 👍👍👌

The dishes are very good, the place is pretty, nicely decorated and the service is excellent. I recommend it

Super friendly staff, yes there are language barriers but these can be overcome with a smile and patience. Requests are taken into account. The food available for pickup is superbly packaged and appetizingly prepared. The restaurant is cleanly maintained. The staff has a decent, friendly demeanor. Anyone who appreciates Turkish cuisine is definitely in the right place here

Very tasty food, super nice staff always happy

Delicious food, cosy environment and very friendly staff.

Everything was very nice, thank you very much for your services and interest.

Super und freundlicher Service mit schmackhaftem Essen.

War zum ersten Mal da und das Essen war sehr lecker.

Wie kann man so ein Laden auf machen ekelhaft einfach habe nach dem im Krankenhaus gelegen nur Probleme gehabt emfehle keinem da zu essen am liebsten den Laden zu machen das ist das gesunde an jedem Ekelhaft einfach

Also der Kalbsdöner wenn er den gut durchgebraten ist ist sehr lecker, der Hähnchendöner für 1.99 ist nur ein Witz mit abgezählten hänchen Fleisch Stücken. Manchmal wartet man kaum manchmal sehr lange. Der kusbasi pide (pide mit geschnetzeltem) war ein Albtraum. Zu scharf und das Fleisch roch unerklärlich. Die Bedienung können ned gut Deutsch was ned gerade förderlich ist. Die Preise sind etwas zu hoch.

Döner 2€, ja weil der komplett auseinader fällt und nur ein paar Krümmel Fleisch drin sind.

Kellnerin eine Katastrophe. Wir mussten um zu bestellen selber aufstehen und zum Tresen laufen, weil die Kellnerin sich nicht blicken lassen hat. Sie schien sehr verwirrt und hat uns ständig missverstanden. Die Pommes waren kalt, Döner auch. Das Fleisch war lecker aber leider auch nicht heiß. Einmal und nie wieder.

Exzellentes Essen! Die Linsensuppe und das Dönerfleisch ist herausragend!

Absolut empfehlenswert! Sehr (!) leckeres Essen. Es hat uns wirklich alles, ausnahmslos sehr gut geschmeckt - was schon selten genug ist. Geheimtipp, da nicht auf der Karte: Den Grillteller für (mindestens) 2 Personen bestellen! Dann gibt es neben eben einem doppelt so großen Grillteller zusätzlich: Eindrucksvolles Servieren, mit Feuerwerk bzw. Wunderkerze, Vorspeisen, Salat und extra "Wolkenbrot". Dadurch PreisLeistung unschlagbar. Leider vergessen Fotos zu machen ;-) Weitere Empfehlung: Künefe! Ist ja eh oft das beste Dessert wo gibt - hier aber besonders gut. Auch der "frische" Ayran aus dem "Ayran Brunnen" war sehr lecker - oft schmeckt der ja schnell auch "muffig" - hier definitiv nicht. Deswegen: Weder beim Essen, noch beim Preis gibt es irgendetwas zu meckern. Was auch super schnell. ABER: Der Service könnte etwas aufmerksamer sein - mussten teils echt lange warten für weitere Getränke (die übrigens zwar sehr einfach serviert werden - sprich Dose bzw. Flasche - aber dafür auch recht günstig sind). Und was überhaupt nicht geht: die Details im Ambiente. Konkret: Ein Teil der Stühle scheinen "alte" zu sein - komplett abgewetze Lederstühle. Der Boden ist teils extrem dreckig - und dann kommt der Chef und kippt etwas Bodenreiniger drauf, was weggewischt wird. Stinkt und ist rutschig. Steckdosen und Schalter sind teils abgeklebt. Fernseher läuft - dazu aber, nicht passender, Radiosender sehr laut über Lautsprecher. Was aber absolut mies ist: die Toilette! Unsauber, kaputte Teile (Spülkasten, Knopf, Wasserhahn) und einfach dreckig. Das ist sehr sehr schade. Hier sollte man unbedingt nachbessern - nicht das einem das sehr gute Essen wieder hoch kommt. Aber um es final noch mal zu sagen: Das Essen ist wirklich ausgesprochen lecker ;-)

Ist sehr lecker. Wir gehen mit Freunden und Familie sehr gerne dort essen.

Qualität ist gut aber geizig teuer ohne Ende aber Fleisch auf dem Döner muss man suchen echt unverschämt

Aşiri lezzetli ve güzel yemekleri olsun güler yüzlü calisanlari olsun hepsiyle cok memnun kaldik. Ailecek gidilebilicek güzel bir restoran. Kebap ve tatli severlerin tek adresi olmali (özellikle firin sütlac) :) . Sehr empfehlenswert alles sehr lecker!

Echt gutes Restaurant. Sehr lecker und sehr aufmerksames freundliches Personal.

Tolle restaurant super yemekler tesekkürler mevlana ocakbasi

Leziz yemekler ilgili personel ve isletme sahipleri ailecek gidilebilecek ender lokantalardan uzak şehirden geldik googleden bulduk ve artık yolumuz bu tarafa düştükçe muhakkak uğrayacağım Tüm ekibe teşekkür ederim

Essen und Service waren sehr gut. Werde wieder kommen

Sehr lecker. Kann nur weiter empfehlen

Paça çorbası enfessss.. hayatımda daha iyisini içmedimm..

Kuzu şişi kesinlikle tavsiye ediyorum. Lokum gibi yumuşacık ve lezzetli.. mekan temiz personel cok kibar. Her sey 👍

Fleisch schmeckt gut aber das salat und brot sind sehr schlecht portionen sind klein

Nach Empfehlung von Bekannten das Haus Mevlana besucht, natürlich war die Erwartung etwas groß ,erstmal 45min auf mein Essen gewartet, danach kam mein Essen falsch Anstand Kunden entgegen zukommen, ist die arrogante Kellnerin so unverschämt das sie sagt, dann soll ich das nicht essen. Nie wieder !!

1 Stunde auf das essen gewartet!!! Die Kellnerin war auch sehr unfreundlich. Nie wieder!!!

Der Service spricht nicht so gut deutsch, dafür ist er sehr freundlich und engagiert 🤵🏻‍♂️ das Essen super lecker und frisch zubereitet aus der offenen Küche. Eine Ayran-Maschine steht im Gastraum. Dazu können wir aber nichts sagen, da wir keine Ayran-Fans sind 😅 Vorweg bekommt man warmes Fladenbrot 🫓 und Pasten 🌶️ aufs Haus. Das Fleisch hatte einen richtig guten Grillgeschmack 🔥🍗 Wir kommen wieder 😃

Sehr gutes Essen. Sehr gemütlich. Sehr emlfehlenswert

Ambiente sehr gut, alle sehr nett und kostengünstig /👍

Gutes Essen zu sehr fairen Preisen. Sehr guter Service.

Yemeklerin lezzeti ve fiyatı olsun, servis ve güleryüzlü çalışanların ilgisi olsun gerçekten tekrar gitmeye değer bir adres.

Essen war sehr gut. Service war spitze!

Restaurant, aber Ambiente wie ein Imbiss

Ihnen alles ok, aber zu mitnehmen sehr schlecht. Insbesondere Döner von 2 €. Kvalitet tiefer als Fußleisten

Dieses türkische Restaurant serviert wirklich erstklassige Speisen, die köstlich schmecken, und der Service ist einfach hervorragend!"

Leider mangelnde Sprachkenntnisse (Cola aus dem Pizzaofen, wenn man sagt man möchte keine kalte Cola). Durchschnittliche Qualität, keinerlei Möglichkeit auf die Bestellung einzuwirken.

Sehr gutes Essen die Preise sind auch angemessen

Lezzeti harika ilgili alakadarlar müşterilerle.

Когато съм в града, задължително хапвам тук. Вкусна храна и изискан персонал! Браво!
