Nazar Restaurant in Darmstadt

I waited 10 minutes, alone, until I was asked if I'd ordered, which I of course denied. My order (chicken skewer) was burnt and raw inside... €18.50 was thrown away. Lahmacun (without doner meat): €8.50 for a second customer. No wonder managers like this drive up inflation... I don't recommend it overall.

Doner kebab 10€ is way too expensive and doesn't even taste good

Simply the best! Always there when you're hungry and it tastes great. Respectful treatment and correctness (which is no longer a given today) Thanks! ❤️

The Nazar Center is a true paradise for anyone who loves sweet treats! Here you'll find an impressive selection of cakes, tarts, and baklava, just like in the Balkans. The cakes and tarts are fresh, moist, and artfully decorated. The variety is particularly impressive: from creamy cream cakes to fruity creations, there's something for every taste. The baklava is an absolute delight: perfectly sweet, crispy, and full of flavor. The ambiance at the Nazar Center is cozy, and the service is warm and attentive. The friendly staff take the time to listen to guests and are happy to help with their selection.

Behavior that is not befitting of a very famous business that is known by everyone. We ordered the package and we were not even allowed to sit outside. We ordered the lamb shish kebab. There were 4 pieces of meat in it. The rest was an extremely dense stew the size of a walnut. And they asked for 25 Euros for the lamb shish wrap, 5 Euros for the beverage, and 5 Euros for the covered ayran, so I gave up buying it. And the employees are so disrespectful...

Some time ago I had a less good experience and was critical of it. Now I would like to share my current, much more positive experience: On my last visit I was there to break my fast and was completely satisfied. The food was very tasty, the service was attentive and friendly, and the portion sizes were absolutely fine. I found the quiet atmosphere and the opportunity to pray in the back area particularly pleasant - that shows a lot of consideration and hospitality. Another highlight is the dessert, which you can order directly on site. It is delivered fresh from the neighboring bakery and was also delicious. Thank you very much for a successful evening – I would love to come back!

I don't understand why this restaurant is so extremely successful and popular. Both the pizza and the kebab were the worst I've ever eaten. The pizza was soggy and the bottom was completely burnt black. The vegetarian kebab had hardly any cheese, the yoghurt sauce felt like it only consisted of yoghurt and the bread wasn't crispy - I also found something like lamb's lettuce in the kebab: it doesn't fit at all. By the way, the waiters are very stressed and it shows over and over again. Presumably it’s the boss’s fault? I don't know. We were indirectly signaled twice that we had to get up and leave immediately after eating. We felt under pressure, but we just wanted to have a chat after dinner... I think the opening hours alone are good, but they're only so great because the store has a lot of customers - for whatever reason. Very small, lesser known restaurants and stalls in Darmstadt make much better food! And although that's not enough, Nazar also charges more money for her food! The most expensive kebab in Darmstadt, even though it is the worst... Find the mistake.

I thought it was ok, the taste of the food was good, prices for snack food were rather high but overall it was ok.

Nazar Beckerei, We discovered that our white bread contained mouse droppings. For this reason, we will no longer purchase products there and advise against purchasing them.

For years, I used to eat from here when I came to Darmstadt. Today, it was just an hour after iftar, so I decided to break my fast. As soon as the bearded old waiter entered, I realized that he got up from the opposite side, without even saying welcome, and said, "No, I will eat here." If there were no families inside, I would make him eat that word, but pray for the families, I will never enter again. Decency ....

The mixed starter plate is top. But when it comes to the main courses, the restaurant disappoints with the lack of quality of the meat and the competence of the staff. We were there with eight people and the next day everyone had stomach pains like we've never had before. It's fun with friends in the moment, but the day after is a hell of a trip.

Unfortunately our visit to this restaurant was a huge disappointment. We were a group of 20 people and we were told that no grilled dishes could be served - without any understandable reason. In addition, three more people came later and, after repeated requests, were only able to place their orders very late. Their food was then only served 15 minutes after the rest of the group, which significantly affected their visit to the restaurant together. Overall the service left a lot to be desired. Although the restaurant was not full (about 15 guests in total), the empty plates were not cleared for over half an hour. The drinks were also served incorrectly. The waiter seemed disinterested and not very service-oriented. Additionally, a takeaway order had to be placed directly at the checkout, which was inconvenient. Unfortunately, the quality of the dishes did not meet expectations. We used to enjoy visiting this restaurant, but a lot has changed now. Unfortunately I can no longer recommend it.

Make you wait half an hour for a kazandibi to promise that they don't have it there

Food catastrophic, staff the same, small portion and you pay at least €20. I used to enjoy coming but now it's catastrophic

Very good restaurant, super friendly service, great selection of dishes. Parking right next to the restaurant. Absolutely recommended!

Very friendly staff and the food tastes very good. I can definitely help.

The food is mediocre and things have been lying around for quite a long time.

Turkish restaurant, wide selection of food. Everything freshly prepared. Great, courteous service.

I shop from the restaurant and bakery sections all the time. Price performance is very successful. Having a parking lot is great and it's in the centre. Transportation is very easy

Devamlı olarak bakerei ye gelip. Alışveriş yapardım çok nazik. ve güler yüzle karşılandım ama ilk defa restorant bölümüne geldim bu sondu çalışanlar aşırı saygısız resmen yemeğimizi yemeden tabakları topladılar sert bir şekilde konuşuyorlar bizimle çalışanlar çok saygısız 👎👎

Even at 3 a.m. the food is great and so is the service.

Turkish restaurant, not a snack bar. Grill with charcoal. Nice atmosphere, unfortunately quite loud when there are a lot of people there. Ventilation overwhelmed - clothes smell slightly. Food and service great. Parking is difficult to get because it is very busy, even in the other Nazar stores.

Everything was great! I recomend it to everyone

Great experience though, have a nice restaurant atmosphere to sit with family. Service is fast & nice. However the food is also good but the hype is more, even chances you can find better taste at normal türkisch imbiss as well.

So I've always been happy to come back, but yesterday was a total disaster... I ordered half a chicken with rice, which came, but even a dog wouldn't have eaten the meat thanks to Nazar. I'm disgusted now. Got up at 3 a.m. yesterday because of pain that I could barely bear. I felt sick and nauseous 🤢 sorry, I always came but unfortunately not anymore, you won't see me there anymore

I wouldn't eat in the restaurant again or take anything from the bakery! Keep your hands off! The food is overpriced, a bit rubbish and just tasted dry. I bought a lotus cake for my birthday... disgusting cream, too sweet and impossible to eat. But visually it looked nice. We also took cookies with us... you couldn't even bite them off... CONCRETE!!!! If I had the chance, I would have closed both stores due to overpricing and poor taste!

I like the Nazar a lot! Whenever I visit DA I always have to make a detour there! The bakery with the wood stone oven is absolutely great, the best baklava and so many other sweet and savory Turkish delicacies. Nice service. Likewise in the restaurant, nice atmosphere and very nice staff. This morning we only went in for a cappuccino, but we'd love to eat again on our next visit :-)

The Nazar Center in Darmstadt is like a short vacation to Turkey - you immediately feel transported to an authentic and warm atmosphere. The high-quality, authentic dishes not only delight the palate, but also make the heart of every gourmet beat faster. The lovingly designed furnishings create a pleasant environment that reflects the charm of Turkish culture. What is particularly worth mentioning is that children are also welcome here, making the restaurant an ideal place for families. A visit to the Nazar Center is definitely a treat for all the senses and a must for Turkish cuisine lovers.

Had a lovely evening today. The waiter Mehmet was very friendly and accommodating. Gladly again. Top.

Yes, it's actually really nice there. The service just wasn't really good because you barely understood what the waiter was saying and I personally found the food to be below average. But everyone has to evaluate that for themselves. I ate vegetarian.

The restaurant is tastefully decorated and offers a pleasant scent. The baked goods on offer are highly recommended and impressed with their taste. The food itself was okay, but nothing special. Unfortunately, the music was much too loud and annoying. Overall, a mixed experience.

Great team and delicious food! Everything is made and tastes fresh and very authentic! The grilled dishes such as the Adana Kebab are particularly recommended, but the pide was also very tasty!

Very unfriendly staff and lack of cleanliness. I cannot recommend this store nor will I ever visit it again.

Very tasty pide, very nice waiter and quick preparation! Come here very often and are still thrilled! ☺️

Large selection of delicious baked goods (sweet & savory) and it smells!!!!

It's been a while since I first gave stars, but now I have to write something about it. The food here is still great. But that's the only reason why I visit the Nazar Bakery. Because the fact that the ladies who serve you there are still unfriendly has not changed. It's not like they're calling you names or anything like that. But there's no hello or goodbye. Just the next request. Not a smile or a few kind words. You always have the feeling of not being welcome. Everyone has a day when they don't feel well, but that's obviously the rule there. Which is somehow surprising, since the restaurant next door, which also belongs to this group, is exactly the opposite.

Disaster. No card payment and no receipts. That says a lot. Ordered Börek with cheese, but I had to look for the cheese (see picture). impudence.

Very family friendly restaurant. The waiters are very professional and always have a smile on their faces. The food comes quickly and is very good!

We got the more expensive grill plate for 2 (a better choice than the cheaper grill plate for 2. I was really hungry, but there was still some food left over. The portion size is perfect! Better than at Lezet (smaller portion, same price).🥇 The chai was very good.

Hello everyone So the waiter was very unfriendly, first brought the wrong kebab to the table after two had ordered. The second one came afterwards and there were lumps of fat in it, disgusting, well when the drinks came it was 0.5 Ayran and it wasn't even cold. You first have to ask the customers what size the ayran was. It wasn't that tasty either. On the contrary, it had a bit of a sour aftertaste. So I won't go there a second time. Am very disappointed kebab like small sandwiches. Look at the photo

The food was very tasty. The ambience is also quite nice. Would eat there again in a heartbeat. I first had to read through the menu a bit to explore all the delicacies.

Food poisoning: On January 14, 2025, I was at the Nazar Center and ate a kebab plate there. I have been suffering from food poisoning ever since. I've been feeling really bad for two days. I paid €30 for food poisoning – top service. Thank you too!

Always my pleasure. No matter what time or day, always eat fresh food and it always tastes great.

Very fast, open even at 5am but limited in morning dishes. I enjoyed my dish.

Very delicious, fast service and the waiters are also nice 🥰👌👌

I placed an order from Ali Nazik. He looked like anything but Ali Nazik.

Sehr gutes Essen mit frischen Zutaten. Sehr große Portionen. Die Speisekarte war jedoch etwas unübersichtlich (Speisen noch nach den Getränken, die wir übersehen hatten...) Die Bedienung könnte aufgeschlossener und freundlicher sein.

I came from Mannheim, they recommended that place, it was really good, I ate the mixed grill, it was really good, excellent, THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORT!

If there is half of one star i will choose it , very expensive restaurant just tow meal 50 euro without drinks

So 5 stars because the price is good and it's open 11 p.m.

Hello, the food was nothing special, the service was very dirty. The price is unnecessarily high. That's why I don't want to go here again.

I don't understand some people's gripes in the reviews. No matter whether it's a restaurant or a bakery, I've NEVER been disappointed here. I've been going to the Nazar for over 10 years because I know exactly what I want and what the Nazar stands for... and at any time because it's always open (even on public holidays!). In the restaurant I often eat the daily special or dishes with skewers from the charcoal grill, everything is always delicious and very plentiful. Afterwards I always go to the bakery, the price I get there compared to other shops is unbeatable, regardless of whether it's börek or baklava... and I get everything I need and don't have to look for it in dozens of other shops. For me, the Nazar is something like a basic provider without which I would be lost.

This place was a meeting place for years. Too bad...

I just bought and ate a Lahmacun Et Döner for €10.50...this prompted me to take a look at the reviews...and lo and behold, others felt the same way...too little meat and too much a lot of greens.....that's why the taste is only moderate....only tastes like salad..... That was nothing for me. ...

Absolute recommendation from my point of view. Nazar accompanied me through my entire studies for 6 years, through all the ups and downs. Every time I visited, I found the restaurant to be very good and professional. Yes, you pay €2 more than for another kebab, but the meat in particular is of significantly higher quality because it is produced in-house. Likewise the flatbread and the garlic sauce. An absolute recommendation. And the kebab plate with the ingredients mentioned is also a generous portion. The staff is always friendly and courteous. Of course, you should also behave accordingly as a guest. All in all a 10/10. And it also creates a positive, familiar feeling when you come in and with "As always?" is served.

My boyfriend and I had lunch there and in the evening he got ALL the signs of food poisoning (the chef was known to him) and the assumption is that it was intentional

Excellent food, great location - but what a theater at the end to pay with the card. Bill > 150€ and 10% tip, and then no credit cards are taken.

Good food, professional staff, nice atmosphere.

The food simply tastes like ready-made pasta from Aldi. Better eat something at a kebab shop

Basically everything is great, but unfortunately the most important thing about the kebab is only enough below, the meat. Unfortunately, the food contains pieces of fat and is often mixed, which spoils the overall picture. It's a shame, as this is my only, albeit most important, point of criticism. There are shops that have been able to offer consistent top quality for 30 years. Unfortunately, this is once again not a good meat quality for kebabs.

The kebab was okay but had too much meat. The meat was gristly and had way too much oil. The oil ran down my hands while I was eating like anything else and I had to wash my hands for 5 minutes. The shop looks very cool from the inside, even with different items, but you have to wait 15 minutes for a single kebab. During my lunch break I don't want to spend 15 minutes of my time standing around somewhere waiting, feeling useless and getting in the way of the waiters. So there are significantly better kebabs for less money. I paid €8.50 for it. The only thing the store can do is look good. High-quality plastic bags, chic furnishings and in the bakery next door, which also belongs to Nazar, the cakes look incredibly good. But when I think about the kebab and read the other reviews here, I can imagine what they taste like. Not good

If you like overpriced prices and poor quality, then you've come to the right place Our visit to the Döner Nazar Center was a bitter disappointment. When ordering, we pointed out that a kebab should be extra spicy. The result? “Extra hot” was just as hot as “normal hot” – not at all. Is it really that difficult to make a good kebab? Apparently a challenge for this shop that it cannot overcome. The kebab bread was burnt and cut so wide that the entire contents fell out while eating - a real mess. The meat was also an imposition: of poor quality, full of gristle and with an unpleasantly high fatty taste. A disaster in terms of taste! A diet kebab is certainly not the goal, but that was simply inedible. The absolute highlight, however, is the price. A plate of kebab here costs a whopping 15 euros. That's not just expensive, it's usury! Unfortunately, the quality does not justify this price in any way. The service also left a lot to be desired. There was no friendliness and the cleanliness of the store was also questionable. Looking at the other reviews I could have avoided this visit. Particularly strange: It is pointed out that you receive high-quality plastic bags - I can confirm that. Unfortunately, I would have preferred a simple plastic bag if the food was better. In summary: Poor quality, high prices, unfriendly staff and lack of cleanliness. I cannot recommend this store nor will I ever visit it again. Luckily, there are many other kebab shops in Darmstadt that try to offer their guests something sensible.

Price performance has decreased significantly. This is where you notice that profit maximization is coming into play. Portions have become smaller, but prices are higher. When the place is full, the portions are just added together quickly. Adana plate for €21 with hardly any salad or sauce. Not nearly full. Kitchens have to make sure that they consistently make equal portions. Especially for this price!!!

Very, very expensive there and the kebab is nothing special. 1 kebab and 2 cokes 19 euros are very awesome. Never again.!!!!

The place is quite good in terms of service and product, the price seems a bit high

The food wasn't fresh!!! Disaster.

It's delicious, but what's not working at all is that as a woman I can't get enough from a grill plate for €27 and I went there with a normal appetite. After I asked the waiter about it, he told me that he understood me and that many people were returning their food, they had to throw away too much and had therefore reduced the portions, which in my opinion is not possible! If the portions are reduced, the price must also be reduced. Under no circumstances will a man get tired of it. There were four of us and none of us were satisfied with their plates! Unfortunately, that wasn't the last time in this restaurant.

Absolutely disappointing - never again! Visiting the Nazar kebab restaurant was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. First of all: The staff is unfriendly, always seems to be in a bad mood and makes you feel as a customer that you are actually not welcome here. You feel less like a guest and more like a nuisance that just needs to disappear quickly. The smells in the restaurant are unbearable - it smells unpleasantly stale and uninviting. The hygienic conditions also leave a lot to be desired, especially the toilets. These are in a condition that is unacceptable and definitely does not meet minimum standards. Let's get to the food: The kebab wasn't even lukewarm, the bread was a tough, tasteless rubber mass that was barely edible. The meat was full of gristle and had a disgusting consistency - an absolute disgrace! The description “terrorist attack on the palate” is really perfect here. The Lahmacun was also in no way convincing in terms of taste, and the prices are completely exorbitant for this subterranean quality. But the killer was the Pizza Margherita - eleven euros for something that only consists of cheese and tomato sauce! In the past you would have gotten two pizzas for that. This rip-off is hard to beat in terms of audacity, at least not in Darmstadt. A small ray of hope: The food was packed in a high-quality plastic bag that probably has a load capacity of 20 kilograms. Unfortunately that was the only positive thing. If the quality of the food was anywhere near as good as the plastic bag, you could be at least halfway satisfied. Finally: A Google rating of 3.8 is seriously bad for a kebab shop - and after my visit, that doesn't surprise me in the least. Nazar should urgently work on friendliness, cleanliness and quality, because this “restaurant” is definitely not recommended.

The food on the plate has become less and prices have skyrocketed. I think it's a shame... The service is bad, unfriendly and above all unprofessional. I wouldn't go there again!

The waiter was very unfriendly and unpolite

Food didn't taste particularly good, rice was overcooked Price performance is not right here Significantly diminished To make matters worse, the billing was incorrect.

Not now like before. Turned out very bad🤢

The service is very good. The food is legendary👍🏻

Rarely have I eaten such a bad lahmacun. Way too soft and mushy.

The food, especially the tarts and cakes, are really very tasty, but unfortunately the payment is a big problem. It has often happened that I, or friends of mine, give e.g. 20€ and then you get remaining money for 10€ and It is claimed that they only gave 10€. I find it very noticeable that you still can't pay by card here...

Not really tasty and you can only pay with cash over the long term. Many baked goods are made with virtually the same dough. We didn't think it was tasty.

Nice service, freshly prepared, everything was great, I would be happy to do it again

Unfortunately the staff wasn't that friendly

The prices have risen disproportionately high and the portions have become smaller... it's no fun to eat here anymore! Doner plate 18€ is a rip-off

Usual turkish dishes. Taste and prices are okay

I ordered a Dürüm to take away and when I opened it at home I was shocked. Without exaggerating, it was the kebab (Dürüm) with the least meat in my life. You even saved on the vegetables... I'm not interested in change, but for others, €9 for a dürüm is a lot and then still not enough...

I ordered a cake for my daughter's birthday and picked it up on November 15th, 2024 (birthday). Unfortunately, I was a bit distracted by the birthday rush and didn't check the cake. Since we know you and buy there often, I assumed that the quality was good. Unfortunately, after unpacking it turned out that the birthday greetings were in black chocolate writing on black document stood. I think maybe it was well-intentioned... But the cake was intended for a birthday and not a funeral. Why “black on black” In addition, the spelling was incorrect. Well, unfortunately not so nice. The cake tasted good. But, I would have expected more professionalism.

Very disappointed with recent orders. Pizza never tastes like pizza. I don't recommend it to anyone.

It was one of the best Turkish foods I ever had taste. Trust me, try one time. Compete with turkish Istanbul Istaklal food. Even more tasty. Tavak, adnan kabab, and donner are awesome. Highly highly appreciated. I took 1.5 hour drive to reach this place and i didn't regret it.

It's happened 3 times now that we got the wrong food when ordering by phone. Now never again.

Kann ich nicht empfehlen. Eine Pide mit Sucuk bestellt und nach einer Wartezeit von 30 Minuten wurde auf Nachfrage gesagt, dass ich doch bitte bestellen soll.

I had dinner here a few days ago. Unfortunately, the food wasn't that satisfactory, especially in terms of the price. Service was very nice. Justin has always been friendly and polite. Music was way too loud and disturbed the atmosphere. Too bad.

Food not so good. But the waiter Justin is a very nice one. Best service and best man.👌👌

We were there for the first time on Sunday evening. Mixed grill plate with rice and salad for €26 and chicken skewer with rice and salad for €18.50 to take away. Were extremely disappointed and will definitely never come back. Chicken skewer partly raw and all full of cartilage. The grill plate was made with so little meat that it could no longer be called a grill plate, not to mention the quality of the meat. Salad there means carrots, red cabbage and onions. We love these two dishes and have eaten them at several Turkish grills and have always been satisfied, of course there are differences here and there, but what we were treated to today was a complete disaster = some of the food was thrown away. Go to Nazar in Offenbach, what a difference!!!

It was a very nice restaurant but unfortunately we discovered something: there were flies in the lemon water, which was really disgusting and very disgusting.

I am very very disappointed. Food for €73.50 and tip given. Instead of packing half the kebab that you only ate 3 times even though it was explained 10 times, dry bread was packed!!!! And when you see how the rest was packed, just half closed without any kind of cardboard. It tastes but service is very very bad!!!! And eating takes a long time. But the kebab is just a disgrace!!!!

The food is amazing, everything is perfect, the service is perfect, I recommend it to everyone.

No longer like before, there is a lot of saving on meat,

They have nice and fresh Turkish food. I just had to wait a little longer last time. Price performance ratio can be improved

Very tasty food, a great selection, friendly, attentive service. The restaurant is still busy even late in the evening, but we still managed to get a seat. For dessert we took home a small selection of tarts from the bakery. These were the best sweets I've eaten in a long time! We are already looking forward to our next visit.

I'm relatively often there and I like the food and the service. Especially the waiters (e.g. Jason was one of them) is always very polite and fast. Inventory is pleasant, clean and oriental like.

Prices are high and food has become less 🙄🙄

Unfortunately I have to say specifically, I ordered chicken dürüm for the table. After more than 30 minutes it wasn't on the table, it was said it was coming soon.....then it was over, I wanted to take it with me. In the car I wanted to have a bite then I saw all the pieces of meat burnt like coal. Then I complained to the restaurant, but not a single person helped or apologized. This is absolutely no service.

My wife and I were hungry and wanted to eat something together. Unfortunately, it wasn't planned that way. It was full. The waiters told us it wasn't a problem and we could wait. We also waited and stood in line. The problem was that some people just pushed forward and lined up and yeah, we didn't like that at all. I mentioned the problem to waiter and he coldly ignored me. You will never get any money from me again!!! System 0

An Ayran that was far too warm was served.
