Nirvana Restaurant & Cafe Mechernich in Mechernich

As the saying goes. The best lamb is from the Turks. Since I go there to eat and not to eat, I didn't choose the five lamb chops, but rather the lamb fillet in tomato sauce. When the very friendly waiter asked how it tasted, I could only answer: It was tasty, but I had to look for the lamb fillet and I couldn't find the tomato sauce at all. I had lots of delicious vegetables. However, the menu says tomato sauce, which unfortunately wasn't available. The nice waiter promised to tell the kitchen about this and appeared 10 minutes later with sweets and a greeting from the chef asking for an apology. I was totally positive, surprised and delighted. 10 minutes later we received two vouchers for the breakfast buffet. That's what I call excellent problem management. The waiter was still quite young, but concerned about the well-being of his guests. Hats off and I will be back. Thanks!!!!

Magnificent restaurant, quiet and beautiful place, excellent food, amazing meatballs, I have never eaten such delicious meatballs in Istanbul. The waiters and the young chef are such nice people, I recommend them to everyone.

Very nice restaurant.. the food is of very high quality, the staff are super friendly and the ambience by the lake rounded off our evening perfectly.. we would love to come back.

It was a very nice environment and the food was extremely delicious. The employees were also very smiling and caring. I went for the first time and I liked it very much. It definitely deserves 5 stars.

It's a really nice place, the food is delicious, the employees are very friendly and attentive, the atmosphere is wonderful and very pleasant, they definitely deserve 5 stars.

It's a great place. We were very pleased.

great atmosphere, great food, excellent service

Many too expensive... 25€ for a mini mixed grill plate.. But not an isolated case...

The really good food is accompanied by excellent hospitality

We always love having breakfast here. The employees are all very nice and helpful. The buffet is very diverse, there is something for everyone and the kids love it.

SupeB food in SuperB atmosphere. Lamm, kotlettes are amazing. Ayran is a dream. Location a fairy-tale. Strongly recommended.

Portions are relatively small but tasty. In addition, there were no sauces with my chicken skewer, which made it a bit dry.

I am very happy with everything

Super nice restaurant, food and service is TOP, number 1.

There were 10 of us there for the last break of the fast in Ramadan. Everything wonderful. Service and food excellent.

We are just thrilled. A very nice atmosphere. Delicious food. This restaurant deserves all the stars there are.

A wonderful place to eat. Unusual. I'm really happy.

The environment is nice, the service is sufficient, the food is fresh, the common areas are clean, the open buffet breakfast does not include tea, average teapot prices are between 15-20. It takes between 20-30 minutes by car from Cologne, there is a walking path and a lake around it. Open buffet breakfast 17 euro

Friendly staff, delicious food and a decent atmosphere🤌👍. A place with a beautiful view where you can go with your family. Thank you for your efforts👏

If you like plenty of good Turkish food, you're in good hands here. The ambience reminds me more of a hall. Very suitable for larger groups.

We came for breakfast on the holiday morning. The place, the environment, the ambience, everything was fine, but the breakfast was ice cold. Everything, including eggs, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, was cold, and I was disappointed. That's why I didn't enjoy what I ate. Other than that, everything was fine. They give a 15 euro discount coupon for the next reservation.

Overcrowded, not enough waiters, food not tasty, breakfast buffet wasn't filled properly, partly dirty, fruit not fresh, service unfriendly, tea cold, table dirty, too narrow.

I was truly impressed by this restaurant! The food was incredibly delicious and freshly prepared. I particularly liked it – it was simply perfect! The staff was super friendly and attentive, and you immediately feel welcome. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a lovely evening. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend it! 🔥

As someone who has had open buffet breakfasts in different places in Germany for years, I can say that the best breakfast in terms of taste and variety was here by far. The employees were incredibly polite and attentive, the atmosphere was very friendly and sincere. If there were 10 stars, I would give it 10 stars, but we have to limit it to 5 stars :)

Pretty good place to dine in I recommend to everybody who enjoys Turkish food

Top restaurant, with great food, supernatural service, and always worth a visit. 🙏👍

We had dinner with friends at this great steakhouse and really loved it. Both the service and the food were excellent. The meat was cooked perfectly and had a fantastic taste. The side dishes and extras were also very carefully selected and of high quality. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. An all-round perfect experience! We are already looking forward to the next visit.

The hospitality and service are very nice.

Great!!! I can easily recommend it. Best option especially for Ramadan!!

A really nice atmosphere and the food is amazing!

Unfortunately the fries were too salty. Lentil soup was brought half full. Service was catastrophic, even though there were 2 customers in the store with us.

Sure, I can definitely recommend it. I found the prices a bit expensive.

The food was incredibly bad, the side dishes were inedible and the chicken was almost cold, never again!!!!

A quiet and peaceful atmosphere by the lake, a warm welcome and great food... The service is friendly and attentive, the flavors are amazing! Especially the Ramadan menu is delicious, every detail has been considered. I definitely recommend it to those who want to have a pleasant experience full of surprises!

Even the toilet has its own respect - two people cannot sit on it at the same time

The food and service are great.

I'll take some food to my Father-in law and come back

The food was very, very tasty! Everything was excellent and I can recommend it! The price was also good.

The view and food were wonderful. I would also like to thank the friendly staff.

Very nice staff, excellent service and overall a TOP atmosphere and quality of food!!!

Great service, a harmonious, beautiful atmosphere and very nice staff… Food is great!!

Great shop, it was very tasty and the service was also very great.

I am very pleased, I recommend it.

The quality of the grill (including meat, chicken and other products) is very low and tasteless. They claim that the products are halal. I can't say anything about this part. We were there as part of a family iftar for Ramadan. I think I won't go there again. The prices are definitely too expensive. 1-1.5 liters of water costs an incredible 6.90 euros. Never again.

I had a fantastic visit to this Turkish restaurant! The atmosphere was inviting and authentic, which immediately created a warm mood. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Particularly noteworthy were the traditional dishes, which were incredibly delicious. The Adana kebab was perfectly seasoned and tender, and the meze selection was a real treat. The baklava for dessert was also a heavenly ending. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely come back!

Delicious food, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Everything was perfect.

A breakfast buffet with Turkish specialties – that sounded like a promising start to the day. The view? Really nice. The food? Well, it also deserved a view - perhaps a little more love in the preparation. The fruit was hard enough to play a game of boules with, especially the pineapple. The bread? A potpourri of frozen food and unclear origins - which at least created a surprise effect. Anyone who had been looking forward to fresh, warm flatbread had to go back to their place empty-handed and cold toast. The biggest damper? No menemen to order! A Turkish breakfast without menemen is like a kebab without bread - technically possible, but just not right. Conclusion: Anyone who values ​​a beautiful view and is prepared to compromise on taste will spend a pleasant morning here. But if you come primarily for the food, you might want to consider an alternative.

Very tasty, good meat, good portions, attentive service

If you want to eat like in Istanbul, meet nice people and experience a great atmosphere, this is the right place for you. We love it.

Food is super delicious. I had a holiday feeling. We took a walk in the park before and after dinner. There is also a playground.

Unfortunately delivery was an hour late, cold food and significantly small portions for the price.

I was always satisfied. Food tastes good Service does its job, everything is top notch

We have been coming to Nirvana Restaurant regularly for years. And every time it's a real treat. Always very good, consistent quality and especially the friendliness of the employees ensure the absolute feel-good factor. Thanks to all........

So far the dishes were pretty good and tasted good. Still, I can't understand why they sell blackened olives that are declared as "black olives". Why not sell real black olives?

Sarma beyti was so good! All is so delicious!

You can eat well there in the evening... for breakfast it's a complete disaster... €16.90 for burnt, cheap baked rolls... as an alternative there was baguette from Lidl (it was still in the packaging) which was already dry. All hot dishes were cold. Cheese was already dried out... The latte tasted as if the coffee pots from the previous day had been rinsed, boiled and put into a glass. The glass is so hot from the outside that you could hardly touch it. We then wanted to complain, but of course the waitress couldn't decide anything and put us off by saying I ate it too. According to her, the boss isn't there in the morning so they couldn't even do anything about the price.

We went there for breakfast for the first time on a Sunday two weeks ago and were absolutely thrilled. A huge selection and everything was very tasty. Now we were there again on Friday for breakfast and it was a total failure. Less than half was offered and still charged €16.90 for it. Completely burnt baked rolls and hard, dry Lidl baguettes from the day before. The cheese was already hard and the things that were supposed to be warm were ice cold. When we received the bill and complained about it, we were told the boss wasn't there and that we should clarify the matter with him by phone at another time. Very disappointing unfortunately.

We ate there yesterday, unfortunately I have to say we were very disappointed, the waiter Alperen was unfriendly to the children, he scolded the children and told them to sit down and behave, unfortunately the children didn't tell us that until we got home. The children were scared by the waiters to tell us. It's a disgrace on the part of the waiter to deal with him, he was in a bad mood and behaved unfriendly right from the start. We would never want to come to the restaurant again if the children didn't feel comfortable here, our children had lost their laughter and joy on their faces. Everything about the food was much more expensive than usual. The quality wasn't as good, unfortunately they didn't put in as much effort as they used to. The starter plate, which you always got for free, was already available, but unfortunately it would cost extra. Too bad...

Very tasty food with good service.

I've been going to breakfast occasionally for years. But this last time I went, I didn't like the breakfast very much. The hot part was very inadequate, it could be more varied. I wasn't very pleased this time compared to the previous ones I went to. In general, it is a remote place, the surroundings are nice, the environment is pleasant, but people expect a more elaborate breakfast when they travel so far.

The ambience was great, but the service was unfortunately very poor. We came from far away just to eat there. Unfortunately, this route wasn't worth it. Unsympathetic waiter, no please or thank you communication, zero. You had the feeling that you had to finish quickly. Unfortunately the food was cold, starter and main course. Also the seat by the window, uncomfortably cold! It's a shame, apart from the beautiful atmosphere we can't say anything positive. Too bad!!!

Everything was amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant. Everyone is very caring and does their job well.

We went to the restaurant as a group for dinner and everything was perfect.

Service and staff were top. But the burger was subpar...

We (girlfriend & I ((husband 🤣)) are (🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪 Germans) came in. It immediately smelled like a swimming pool. I found that disgusting. The woman at the entrance was nice. So go on, when we entered the guest room. Something was said in Turkish that I didn't hear. There were Turkish guests behind us, aha they were greeted and not us! 👎👎 Of course it was a Turkish restaurant. I am German and not Turkish. - Where are we please?🤔 My friend was in the toilet, I didn't feel like getting upset. Then I'm out again, continue at the beginning (above) 👆 Swimming pool? There was also a smell in the guest room. If you're into something like that, please. I decided for myself Thanks, no thanks.! Diagonally opposite is a very tasty Croatian!! He gets my 5 ⭐️

I was there for breakfast today, the atmosphere was very chilly, the food wasn't like it was at the weekend

Today is our third time coming here, and it was truly the most delicious Beyti kebab we have ever eaten. I would definitely recommend the Mixed Grill and Lahmacun. 100% Halal cut, good service, and we are very pleased with the service every time we come. It really makes it worth it that we came from a distance of 45 km. Hoping to see you again in Ramadan. Good luck. Evenings☘️✨️

Very nice atmosphere, good staff and very important: delicious food.

Very tasty food, everything freshly made, the waiters are all very friendly, nice and attentive, the prices are great, I would simply recommend it Sizleri seviyorumm

Delicious food guaranteed. Service 1 A. Always happy!!!

You don't go here for breakfast, but it's recommended for dinner as it's not that good for breakfast. I was there on Sunday this week and was incredibly surprised. It's not worth it for breakfast.

Food tastes good but takes far too long! Drinks ordered didn't arrive until after 45, and only after asking for drinks for the 3rd time. That doesn't work at all. It's a very nice restaurant, but it will be my last visit there. You wait way too long for service.

Very tasty food, large selection and super friendly service!

It's a wonderful place, the owner is very friendly and helpful, I would definitely recommend it.

Very nice staff, super tasty food for a very good price-performance ratio. We always enjoy going here on special occasions. It's just a shame that the lake next door isn't really maintained. But the restaurant probably won't be able to do anything about that :)

The shop is total chaos, even though we called beforehand and traveled a long way, we were transferred back and forth and treated very arrogantly and rudely by the waiter, never again

A little outside but very nice restaurant in front of it is a small one and lots of trees, next to the restaurant there is a hammam nearby, super friendly staff, prices are great, large warm and cold dishes, breakfast delicious, highly recommended. Thank you

Very friendly staff🍀delicious food🍀the restaurant is beautifully located and very cozy inside🍀we would love to come back!✌🏼

Nice staff, fine Turkish cuisine. We'd love to come back.

As always delicious. The service is top. The boss is accommodating. Great view.

Brilliant food, super friendly and courteous service, very pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommended

The taste of the food and the atmosphere were amazing. Most importantly, the dishes were delicious and cooked with excellent quality. The place was very clean and absolutely outstanding.

The food is delicious but the portions are a bit small

The prices are very cruel. The staff is very incompetent and acts like tip hunters. They better earn it. You can't find the taste in Turkey

Wir Haben Das Gemischte Grillmenü für Drei Personnel Bestellt. Vor dem Hauptgericht wurde uns ein flauschiges Pide serviert – das Brot war einfach fantastisch! Die Meze-Platte war hervorragend; es gab nichts, was wir als mittelmäßig oder schlecht bezeichnen könnten. Wir drei haben alles sehr genossen. Das Fleisch auf dem gemischten Grillteller war perektif gegart – weder zu roh noch zu durch, ohne Rauchgeschmack, einfach köstlich. Wir waren begeistert! Das Essen direct am Fenster mit Blick auf den See zu genießen, war ein besonderes Highlight. Wir empfehlen, im Voraus zu reservieren, um einen Platz direct am Fenster zu bekommen. Personal war sehr freundlich, aufmerksam und unglaublich schnell. Wir hatten einen tollen Tag – die Anreise aus Belgien hat sich wirklich gelohnt! Wir kommen bestimmt wieder. Zum Dessert hatten wir Künefe und Kazandibi – also waren exzellent. Es war so lecker, dass wir völlig vergessen haben, Fotos zu machen! --- We ordered the mixed grill menu for 3 people. It was preceded by fluffy pita bread – the bread was amazing! There was nothing on the appetizer plate that we would call “that bad or average”. All three of us liked everything very much. Every piece of meat on the mixed grill was cooked to perfection – no more, no less, perfectly prepared with no smoke smell. We officially loved it! Eating by the window with a view of the goal was a special pleasure. We recommend that you make a reservation in advance to sit by the window. The waiters were very friendly, attentive and incredibly fast. We had a fun day, it was definitely worth coming from Belgium. Hopefully we will come again! For dessert, kunefe and Kazandibi were both delicious. It was so beautiful we even forgot to take photos!

Everything was great, smiling faces, sincerity, this is truly Nirvana👍🏻

The breakfast buffet is very generous and delicious. Many different and freshly prepared dishes.

It is mind blowing restaurant. All the dishes are very very tasty. It's my most favorite restaurant. Oftenly we go to this restaurant with family and take breakfast and dinner too, it is speechless. I really appreciate all the team of Nirvana restaurant. 100% recommended

Were treated like STARS. Thanks for the great service. Great food. Greetings JOHN PEDRON

The location is very good, the breakfast is great, the atmosphere is nice, I didn't try the food but I would like to go again.

For me, the best Turkish restaurant in Germany = the first time a Turk in Germany tastes like Turkey.

We celebrated our son's birthday here today. Absolutely recommended. Simply put: food very good, service very friendly, service top and the attraction with the birthday cake is always a great experience. Gladly again

Great food but I have the feeling that if the boss isn't there, the service isn't great. I'm sitting at my seat and the waitress jostled my chair three times while I was eating.

Been there several times and always very tasty! The Sunday brunch is also highly recommended. The service is quick and always in a good mood, we felt completely at home

When I come to such restaurants, I first taste Adana kebab. I went with my family today. It was very delicious. The environment was also very clean. Interest was good. There is nothing to say about the view. I wish continued success to the friend who opened the business. I hope I will come again.

I definitely RECOMMEND THE MIXED GRILL, it is very delicious, but if you do not eat KAZANDİBI DESSERT, you will lose a lot. ATTENTION AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IS GREAT. A PLACE TO WHICH EVERYONE CAN GO WITH PEACE OF MIND.

.... As two women at the table, we felt like we were at the mercy of "fair game"... The staff hardly speaks any German... The next time... if we visit this restaurant again... we'll put on headscarves...

Kurzentschlossen ausprobiert und mega begeistert Tolles und sehr leckeres Essen gepaart mit einem tollen Service Es hat uns riesig Spaß gemacht - Adana Kebap - Vorspeisen super lecker mit hammer dips - chay hmmm - Nirvana Spezial - kazandibi so lecker Alles vom feinsten Dankeschön

Mükemmel is always a top restaurant selamlar Hakan

Everything was great, from the food to the staff, everyone was super friendly and accommodating. I can only recommend it
