Mevlana Restaurant in Nürnberg

I've known this restaurant for over ten years and have visited it regularly – at least once a year. Unfortunately, over the years, I've seen the quality steadily decline. The meat is now as tough as rubber and tastes completely disappointing. At the Beyti, the only thing I could detect was the tomato sauce – there was no trace of flavor from the meat itself. Furthermore, the portions have become significantly smaller. This was definitely my last visit. By the way: The neighboring shop called Frankonya, which also belongs to the same owner, also leaves a lot to be desired. We ordered three different desserts there – and all three were simply abysmal.

I ordered a kebab plate. Unfortunately the quality of the meat was disappointing - dry and tough. The bread was also very dry and not warm. Unfortunately the sauce was very bland and tasteless.

If you want to wait 20 minutes for an order while the waitresses argue, this is the place for you. Last visit.

I was pleased with all the meals and desserts I ate. I felt like I was in Turkey. I would like to especially thank Mr. Orhan for his good service, interest and concern.

Hello Everyone, I was in Nuremberg for 5 days in the last week of March. During this period, I had 3 dinners at Mevlana Restaurant. Frankly, I was very pleased. Especially the warmth and helpfulness of our waiter "Orhan Bey" was amazing. It is a place where even people like me who are obsessed with Hygiene can easily eat. In short, if you go to Nuremberg, I recommend you to stop by.

One star for Fanta. The food is tasteless.Rice is tasteless.The salad is a joke, no fresh ingredients. I had a kebab plate, the meat is good. The employees are nice and quick.

We were there today for Sugar Festival with six people. The food arrived cold because it is brought up from the kitchen downstairs. You could understand that, since everything is full in Bayram. However, I have to say that I was very disappointed with the prices and the portion size, the prices are exaggerated and the portions are very small. The staff is very unfriendly and stressed, you get the feeling like it's mass processing. I won't go there anymore.

The grilled and appetizer varieties were delicious, but the stews were not good, especially the beans were very bad, I wish the rice had stayed a little longer, it would have turned into cake.

Employees don't respect with customer

Worst kebab in a long time. Flesh completely dried out, like cardboard. The kebab tastes stale. The service was unfriendly. Too bad, I'll avoid the store.

We had heard of it before, so we decided to go when we thought about it. Their iskender was quite good, the chicken skewer was soft and delicious, I can't say the same for the lahmacun. "I say this as someone who is used to pistachio lahmacun, it tasted tasteless to me." The prices are a little above the market, but this is normal because you are receiving service. The place is nice and the waiters are attentive. We liked it, we will come again.

The food was very tasty, p service staff helpful and polite. Thanks. See you soon!

When asked whether the food was halal, you had to think about it first and stuttered. We then asked for a certificate and they said quite aggressively and unfriendly “if you don’t trust me you can leave”. We then went to the neighboring restaurant with 5 people (they were great). Seemed very dubious and untrustworthy to us. Someone who really offers Halal would never hide it like that.

The flavors here are excellent, especially the doner kebab, the service is fast, as in Türkiye, the hygiene is great, thank you, everything is very nice.

Very nice ambiance and friendly staff. The food was delicious, but the wait was a bit long.

We usually used to go and eat, but lately, Mevlana has turned into a place where fasting people turn it into a coffeehouse after iftar. What is a seed, my friend, people who eat in one month what they did not eat in eleven months, if you ask, we are fasting :) Anyway, I hope not to see people cracking seeds in the place where we come to eat, dear Mevlana officials, best wishes.

We were here an hour before closing time. The staff was still very nice and friendly. We could eat there. The food was very good and the portions were large. I recommend.

Yarim saat ayakta bekledikten sonra Obrahim Tatloses gelecek diye disariya cikartildigimiz mekan. Gercekten bu puan böyle bir yer icin cok fazla!

Everything was delicious, service was fast.

Vera cucina turca a Norimberga. Ayran spaziale, carne morbida e saporita! Ahimè niente birra ma forse è pure meglio così!

I was often in Mevlana and the food was great except yesterday there was a hair in the bread and in the kebab box it was really very disappointing

Let Orhan serve you, he is the man of honor of Mevlana and leaves nothing to chance. Quality is Champions League here. I had Yayla soup and a turkey kebab for dinner. Incredibly delicious.

I ate Beyti Kebab. It wasn't very tasty. The service and staff were good

It was delicious. We are satisfied

The shop is small compared to the demand, we waited in a long line at the door while we were at the fair in Messe last week. We expect the business owner to invest :)

The kebab sellers don't understand German or don't want to understand you, don't pay attention to any extras, don't listen to you at all, it's happened several times and it takes a long time to get a normal kebab because they're constantly chatting.

The mixed grill was absolutely delicious - perfectly prepared, tasty and generously portioned. The service was outstanding, with friendly and attentive staff making the dining experience even better. I can only recommend this place for a fantastic meal!

Order delivery time is too long.

Great ambience and friendly staff. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. I'd love to come back!

Food was tasty but got cold quickly. The atmosphere is rather uncomfortable

A Very big variety of dishes, nicely served, a lot of meat dishes and variety of veggies, and my favourite Turkish coffee.

I come from North Rhine-Westphalia, you just can't compare Turkish food in North Rhine-Westphalia. Prices are awesome but it's not bad I ordered a mixed kebab plate, everything unseasoned, cold and a little rice Bulgur as if they were eating a small child. The meat was too little, 3 pieces of chicken, a lame cutlet without Adana, a small meat skewer from the freezer, burnt The 4.5 star rating is not justified; it is the only shop in the area Better go eat somewhere else Staff very nice But I don't want to eat again Bread was so cold like yesterday's bread was served

It's a bit expensive, but it works

We are absolutely thrilled! Were there for the first time today - great service and the food is absolutely world class! I had to add more salt, but I generally eat very spicy foods - not everyone likes that! Vegetables are fresh, meat is tender and not dry at all and all in all the food is very tasty! We will definitely come to Nuremberg again for that :)

It's good, just the food is not good, it's really ordinary

It was a great experience and calm atmosphere.

Eating snails but a little bit of doner meat is not enough

quite okay except for the prices....

The food was okay overall - the beyti tasted particularly good, while the rest of the meat was okay but nothing special. The starters were solid. Service and ambience were fine. You can do it.

The food is delicious and always top quality. The products are well labeled and the price matches the offer.

I ordered a kebab plate and a kebab to take away last night. We ate it at home and noticed that the meat wasn't raw in many places. Unfortunately half of it has already been eaten. We had stomach pains and cramps all night long and unfortunately that goes with it...

I've been there more often in the past, but recently (2024) I had the impression that the service and food quality had deteriorated somewhat. I may be mistaken too! Definitely always worth a visit when your stomach calls for Turkish cuisine!

It's incredibly dirty, counters, chairs, tables, floors, there's a hectic, restless, sad atmosphere everywhere. Never again.

I was there for dinner with my family, the food tasted really good, it was super tasty, the best restaurant in Nuremberg mevlana ❤️❤️

Delicious food, delivered quickly. Fresh salad. Great service. Price performance is ok.

Very good breakfast for 2 people 34 euros at the table nothing was missing.. nice service...TOP

Sehr gutes türkisches Essen, wir kommen gerne hierher.

Very nice location, super delicious food and the service is top. I can recommend it without reservation

Even though I didn't have a reservation, they helped me. I ate lamb wraps and blanch and it was amazing. Mr. Orhan is a very attentive waiter, I recommend him for his taste and attention.

The food tastes very, very good. If you go on the weekend, you can expect it to be very crowded. However, you can wait on site and will be assigned a place as quickly as possible. The waiters are all always super nice and accommodating. You are also served salad and bread at the beginning. Highly recommended as a meat lover!

The place is not that big but not that little. The food prices are ok, not the worst but also not the best. The food is, however, very tasty! Things are fresh and originally Turkish. I can recommend this place for a chilled meeting with friends, nothing fancy but more of a familiar place. And that's very nice to have!

Any time again when I'm nearby.

Great atmosphere and nice service

Great food masde with attention to original recipes, proper taste and a lot of heart for food and guests. The best turkish food you will find...

Food is delicious, hence 4 stars (And a star deduction because of the drinks Boycott Cocacola, Fanta and Sprite) they could also offer alternatives

It's minus -3 degrees outside so we thought we'd go to Mevlana's and have some soup in the morning and warm ourselves up. Where we went in we noticed that it wasn't any warmer than outside. When asked, the calf man said that they don't turn the heater on (they don't use it) Okkkeyyyy,,, why not? I also noticed that many guests were sitting there with jackets. We got up and left the restaurant.

There are problems with them every time, that's really not normal. I asked them if they could turn on the heater because it's minus two degrees and it's so cold in the store, but they said no. Last time we were there we complained that the food was cold - even then they just argued. Never again and would not recommend

Exceptional super Turkish dishes. Great service. Super friendly. Prices more than ok for the brilliant food. Very nice restaurant

Waiting for food service and a seat takes away your appetite

Bad, dry meat with loveless, tasteless side dishes. This restaurant only benefits from the location and few alternatives. Doesn't deserve the prizes. The service is very unfriendly and you often have to ask.

Is there any mixed grilled doner meat? I'm kidding. I gave two stars because of the workers, which were actually 5 stars.

Wegen hohen Andrangs mussten wir erst etwas warten , wir waren 6 Personen. Es hat sich gelohnt. Zuvorkommende Bedienung, sehr gutes Essen, angemessene Preise. Am nächsten Morgen waren wir dann gleich nochmal zum Frühstück dort. Auch da gab es eine große Auswahl an Speisen und auch reichlich. Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit allem. Teşekkür ederiz!

A great restaurant that is highly recommended. The food is authentic and there is something for every taste. The service is extremely courteous. The location is clean and you feel super comfortable. Would you like a quick trip to Turkey? Then you've come to the right place.

This was my second and last attempt at this restaurant. I had a pide with cheese for €9.90! Unfortunately, it didn't taste that good and getting full was out of the question given the small dimensions.

The restaurant interior is very nice and beautifully designed. The waiters were great and helpful, and the food was delicious. 10/10

Good place to eat with your family! I tried Etli Ekmek. It was very tasty! The place gets very crowded after 5pm.

Unfortunately the worst Turkish food I ate in Nuremberg. The starters (meze) were probably all canned goods. Unfortunately, the main courses aren't any better either. The manti was watery, tasted like nothing and was inedible. The beyti was very tough and difficult to chew. The waitress took forever to serve us and also forgot drinks in a half-empty restaurant. And that with the prices! Either it used to be better or the good reviews were bought by family/friends. First and last time there

Street sales are still possible because of the price, otherwise everything is the same in terms of gastronomy, waiters and table prices.

The soups we ordered were very cold. When we asked them to heat them up, they forgot the soups and it came boiling. The doner kebab on the plate was also ice cold. We couldn't taste and enjoy the food.

Good place with nice staff members. Also the amount of food is okay with the prices

Both service and taste were very good. We went two days in a row. I recommend you to make a reservation before you go. I hope you will open a branch in Prague as well :)

I don't have to go back. Wasn't good. French fries for breakfast and an unpeeled egg on top. Yuck…..

weak, meat cold, plate warm. Almost made me puke, I'm sorry but NEVER AGAIN

We just had dinner, we ordered from the bearded guy with a cloth tie on his head, we said hello at first, he didn't take it, he saw us enter, he didn't react!! We were looking at the people coming and going, hoping that maybe someone would ask for it, no one said anything, we sat down, a card was thrown in front of us, the man with the beard who took the order said, "Hi, it's not there again in the morning, what do you want?" He went, brought it according to his wishes, took it down and left again.

Oh God. Why this is so delicious

This is our favorite Turkish restaurant in Nurnberg. Having lived in the TRNC for nearly 10 years we recognize quality Turkish food and without any doubt Mevlana serves the best Turkish food in Southern Germany

Mostly very crowded and a bit narrow

Very friendly and fantastic food

The food was very good. The waiters are quick and friendly. Even with a large number of people, everything happens quickly. Dishes can be assigned to people. A big compliment. Gladly again

Very nice restaurant and food is very tasty, service was very good.

It used to be of higher quality. Expensive and sometimes the food is cold. Not recommended. Not to mention that there was a hair in the food! Really disgusting!!

Old quality No, empty items are collected from the tables very late, we ask for tea, it takes 20 minutes, the prices have already gone up, I feel like Nusret 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

The Mevlana Restaurant is a must when I'm in Nuremberg. Authentic Turkish cuisine of the best quality. Unfortunately, prices have now risen sharply, and portions have been reduced in proportion. Still very good though.

I had dinner at Mevlana today. After I ordered, my food arrived at the table piping hot within 5 minutes at the latest! So microwave! I asked the waiter if the food had been heated in the microwave, which he said no. But it was clear that the food couldn't get that hot in a pan in 5 minutes! So I was lied to! I ate the food anyway out of politeness, and shortly afterwards I got a headache! I never have a headache!! Why am I writing here now? 1. Because I don't go to a restaurant to eat microwaved food, 2. Because microwaved food is harmful to my health! Many people don't believe this, but microwaves are now banned in Norway, Japan, Russia, and from 2025 also in China and Korea!! Why: because irradiating food with microwaves creates carcinogenic substances in the food! In addition, microwave food negatively affects blood values, which can be measured after just 10 minutes!! Even though I was always polite and always tipped well, I was lied to and served sick food! I was in this store for the last time today

Iskender served with turkey meat, table ignored for an hour. Never come back. Apparently the owner has nothing better to do than just stand around at the entrance.

The food is delicious. The service is quick. Only the cleanliness of the tables and toilets is to be criticized.

All reviews are fake!!!!!!! Rat feet found in food. Never again !!!!

It was incredibly delicious and a real experience. Very authentically cooked and served with friendly staff, thank you for your great work

Poor quality doner. It is not worthy of the area and the store

Ate with the family. Super good

This is a kebab from Mevlana Nuremberg. Look at the photo. I won't say more. Just meat and a bit of salad. Bread was cold. No vegetables. Never again in my life.

Tastes very good, friendly Very hospitable Kind regards from Hamburg I'm coming back

The food was very tasty, always a pleasure

Everything great. The best Turkish restaurant in Nuremberg.

HEMŞERİM AHMET CAN PERFECT RESTAURANT SUPER FOOD I WISH YOU CONTINUE SUCCESS IT IS A PLACE FOR EXPATRIATES AND A PLACE FOR THOSE WHO LEAVE TURKEY

After a long time I was eating here again and I like Köfte, Adana and Konya Pidesi, tastes excellent, the waitress Violetta is absolutely fabulous, very respectful and her approach is very pleasant and personable, she makes and completely fulfills the wish of other colleagues take as a role model. Facial expressions, gestures and attention are very important and that is praiseworthy and worthwhile. Kind regards Paco

If I wait 48 minutes for a cold kebab, one star is even too much

Gestern spät Abends noch einen Tipp von der Rezeption bekommen. Da ich noch ein wenig Hunger hatte. Sehr empfehlenswert, guter und schneller Service, gutes Essen, freundliche Mitarbeiter. War um 23 Uhr auch noch gut besucht.

Excellent service (in Bulgarian)! Very tasty and reasonably priced!

Very tasty food and professional service!
