Oberbilker Grill in Düsseldorf

Super tasty gyros and a decent portion.

The food was quite tasty and communication with the staff worked reasonably well.

Best Gyros Pita and super cozy atmosphere

Unfortunately not so good after the change of ownership. Zatziki watery, fries somehow limp and curry sauce thin. Too bad

Gyro plate is highly recommended.

I was here for the first time today! There are new owners and the food is absolutely amazing!!! The gyros are fresh and homemade and you can taste it. The farmer's salad and the fries are great. The food is worth the money and I can only recommend the snack bar.

I was at the Oberbilker Grill again today and what can I say? It was just super delicious. The portions there are huge and the service is great. I would love to come back.

I don't understand the bad comments. The new owners are super friendly and regarding the gyros, for me it is still the best in Düsseldorf. Same quality as before.

The change of ownership really impacted quality. I wanna touch base with two main differences that made my experience not so pleasant. First and most importantly, GYROS. I took a Gyros pita, where gyros had dried out (slightly burned) and herbs didn’t stand out as it used to. Previous management had figured this out and the new one really need to work on this. It felt like they didn’t respect the primary ingredient. Second, please please do something with the Pita! We have a black and white transition from the old management, where deep fried pita was a common routine (which personally I am against) but the new management served me a pita without olive oil and undercooked. This felt like eating dough of bread. Please work on cooking it properly its the Alpha and Omega. Overall a lot of room for improvement, but the stuff was very friendly.

I bought a gyros plate and a Greek-style gyros pita. Both extremely tasty 😋, and just as good as before the takeover. The gyros plate is extremely good, and a very very large portion. The ambience is ok as it is still a snack bar/grill. It's definitely enough to sit and eat in the house. The owner is very nice and I was able to try the gyros beforehand. Can't write anything bad ✍️, about the food.

I always went there specifically for the gyro plate, since the new owner the portions have become smaller, the tzatziki bowl has shrunk to half at best, if not a third, and it wasn't even full, the fries weren't cooked properly, soggy and the gyro was no longer as tasty as it was from the previous owner. I won't be coming back any time soon! They were friendly, but the taste was always crucial and the portion of tzatziki was a joke!

New owners, quality still very good 👍

Owner has changed. From my favorite place to one of the worst I know. Fries half raw and eating the wrong food packed. Unfortunately that was my last visit!

Best gyro ever Update: I have to stand up for the new owners. I've been there 4 times now and it tastes just as great as before. The portions are not smaller either. I don't know what the negative reviews are about. These people are probably sad about having to get used to new faces. In contrast to the old owners, the new owners are much friendlier.

New review, from February 15, 2025 (after change of ownership at the beginning of 2025)...: I can't understand the bad reviews from previous speakers at all. As a customer (and neighbor), I also find it extremely unfair not to give a snack grill even a few months but to rate it "poor" in the first few days after the new opening... Neither the portion size has changed, nor the tzatziki, nor the good gyro meat (fresh every day, prepared by hand[!]). Since I always have my own wishes, I have attached example pictures of two proper meat plates. All I can say is that the meat is cooked super juicy. Neither dry nor overly greasy. Exactly right. To explain: Only 3 stars for the “ambience”. Nothing has changed here for a long time. It's simple but clean. The latter is the most important thing for me. The toilets were also clean compared to some other snack bars. There is soap and paper towels. But I don't expect a great ambience at a snack grill anyway. That's what restaurants are for. The only other option I have is a (Greek) snack grill I know the Grill House 56 (closer to the main station), where I can get such good meat from the gyros skewer.

Super Gyros sehr große Portionen

Super delicious food, super nice service!! Thank you ευχαριστουμε we would love to come back!! 😊

I've eaten there twice now. It tasted very tasty and the portions were very large. In addition, the employees are very friendly. I would love to come back

Unfortunately, after the change of ownership, it is no longer what it used to be. The service was friendly and quick, but unfortunately the food was more than mediocre. The gyro was barely seasoned, some of the fries were floury on the inside and the tzatziki, which used to be the GOAT, is now just slightly salty yogurt. It used to be the best gyros place in the city, and people often drove all the way to Oberbilk to see it. Unfortunately nothing special today and no longer worth a visit.

Best gyros far and wide! I have never eaten such a delicious gyro! The staff is very friendly! I'll be back

I've known the snack bar since 2008 and have been going there 2-3 times a year since then. Today I discovered that the Greek family that was so dear to me and constantly insulting each other has given way to a new operator. I was shocked though. 🥺 How would my gyros pita, rolled, with coleslaw and tzatziki taste without onions? While the ancient Greeks made the pita so thick that it was always difficult to roll it, the new version was noticeably narrower. Never mind inflation and stuff. But is the taste unchanged? Unfortunately no, there was definitely not enough coleslaw for me, the gyros were grilled well but not as crispy as before, but less seasoned (I personally found the latter more pleasant), but it was missing that first small batch of fries in the middle and the second small batch of fries after being rolled up on top before being wrapped up on top. The ancient Greeks fried the pita bread until the dough had a certain firmness. Now the pita was much too soft and mushy for me. Tzatziki was good as before. Maybe there's something else going on. I'll come back again in the fall. What happened to the old owners? Sick, retirement, new snack? Maybe someone knows that?

I have to be honest and say that I have already eaten a lot of Greek dishes but here you get the best food in Düsseldorf. I would say that I ate here for the first time today and I am more than satisfied. It was damn tasty and the service was also great. I will come back Oberbilker Grill is highly recommended

Unfortunately, absolutely no recommendation anymore. We were wondering why the gyros were so strangely seasoned and didn't taste good and were already very dry, so we didn't know the food there. During our last visit we found out that the owners had changed and now the detour to Oberbilk is no longer worth it. The snack bar is no longer the snack bar it once was. Really sad such a gem to rock like this.... Make up your own mind. It no longer tastes good and the portions are smaller than before the change. We no longer recommend it

very tasty food and very nice owners

Attention, legitimate negative reviews are reported by the owners so that they should be deleted. The new operators cannot maintain the quality and taste of their predecessors. Unfortunately it has become an absolute 0815. Please go eat gyros somewhere else if you want something delicious.

Of course, the new owners need some time to get used to it. As always, the food is delicious and the service is very friendly.

Pure catastrophe what this store has become after the change of operator. Portions are only half as much for the same price. Food is cold and no longer tasty. Staff gets in their own way and is completely disorganized, it hurts to watch. Never again, thank you.

Like many others here, I was initially deeply unsettled by the change in ownership. The Oberbilker Grill lives neither from the ambience nor from the service in the traditional sense, but above all from the food and the unmistakable charm that such a snack bar either has or does not have. For years I ate the gyro platter with tzatziki (to eat there) or the rolled gyro pita (to eat with) with great devotion and was very happy, especially of course with the quality of the gyro, which was both crispy and juicy, spicy but not overpowering. It was clear that it would not be easy to imitate this masterpiece. Unfortunately, you have to agree with the reviewers when they report that the new owners haven't succeeded yet. Contrary to many prophecies of doom, the portion size has not shrunk significantly. There was a little less tzatziki on the gyro plate than usual, but gyros, fries, onions and pepperoni were still piled dizzyingly high on the small plate. Also, contrary to what was reported here, my fries were completely fine and corresponded exactly to the old standard. The gyro, however, was significantly drier, but at the same time more leathery than crispy and also had a much less intense taste, although it was obviously similarly seasoned. This either raises concerns that the quality of the meat on the skewer has been compromised or that the method of preparation has changed. I think you shouldn't underestimate the challenges involved in making the skewer, seasoning, etc. Proper preparation may also be complicated because the meat logically cooks throughout the day without allowing it to dry out. That's why I'm hopeful that it's perhaps a matter of time before the old quality at least comes into sight. Of course the doubts remain.

Large and tasty portions at affordable prices 👍

New owner / Unfortunately no longer the taste it was!

Great gyros plate even after the change of ownership. I can't understand the nonsense some people are writing here. Everyone was super friendly, large portions and good taste. Always happy to come back.

Since the owner changed, I can't even give it one star - the meat smells and tastes old and also dry. This was never the case with the predecessor, not to mention the portions. They also have difficulties preparing things behind the counter. It's a real shame!!! So they are very friendly and make an effort.

Today, after a long time, I was back at my favorite Greek restaurant in Oberbilker Grill. Anyone can have negative reviews, but mine will be positive. Food - service - TOP! It was busy so it was worth eating there! Was also able to speak a few words to the new tenant - very, very friendly woman. I/we will definitely be coming back more regularly now. In summer there may also be the opportunity to eat outside. Conclusion: Keep it up & thank you 👍 Efcharistó eseís oi ergatikoi

Important for all visitors! There has been a change of operator. Theo's usual food is no longer offered. The portions are now significantly smaller and unfortunately the taste is no longer convincing. This is no longer an “Oberbilker Grill”. Please change the name, it would be better for both customers and business. I'm sorry for the new owners, but I gave the takeaway three chances and unfortunately I was disappointed three times. Please rename the snack bar.

Change of ownership! Previously 10 out of 10, now a 4 out of 10. The taste and portion size are not good and the prices are high.

Very friendly staff and food is top. Price performance ratio very good. Always happy for quick hunger pangs

Highly recommended 🫶 Greetings and thank you

Unfortunately, a lot has changed since the change in ownership, and it is of course very difficult to pick up where the original Obigrill left off. The new owners are super friendly, no question about it, you just notice a lack of experience in dealing with orders, customers and the food on site. I think this is something that can still develop, but if it is not worked on promptly I can well imagine that some of the regular customers from before will no longer come back. I really hope that the shop will be like it was under the old owners. I would currently avoid the grill but will come back again in the summer to give it a second chance. So there's really nothing that can't be adapted, but more organization behind the counter is also urgently needed. We'll see what happens and see each other again in the summer.

Unfortunately a real downgrade compared to the previous operator. Service was slow and the food was also worse. Hopefully it will get better with time...

Went to get food on January 4th, 2025. Unfortunately new owners brought food, it used to be a great snack bar, now it was a complete catastrophe, fries were cold, soggy and partly not cooked through, the gyros were dry, the meat was limp and had no seasoning. Chicken dry, limp skin and no taste, paper was soggy with fat. If we hadn't been so hungry, the food would have ended up in the trash. It's a shame they used to be regular customers and will never eat there again. 😠

Went to the Oberbilker Grill for the first time last weekend because of the many positive reviews and I can tell you: I wasn't disappointed! The staff was extremely friendly, the portions were huge and the preparation was very quick. I will definitely be back and am already looking forward to my next veggie pita!

We live almost next to the store and have been regular customers there since 2012. Something I didn't expect happened in mid-December. After a suspiciously long closure, suddenly an opening with completely different staff, everything inside looks like it used to, right down to the menu and the Fortuna flags. I felt like I was in a parallel universe. Unfortunately I have to agree with the other reviewers: the portions are smaller, prices are the same, but I also found the gyros to be less flavorful than before. I'll be honest, it's not a disaster, but there's no reason for me to eat my gyros here anymore. Very unfortunate.

I went there after work on the recommendation of a work colleague, she didn't promise too much. The portion was very generous and the service was absolutely friendly and competent. The gyro meat was very tasty and the fries were fresh and crispy. I'd love to come back!

Super cool, juicy and crispy :) plus very nice and courteous service. Always happy to be there

I don't understand why there are so many bad reviews. I was there on Friday and had a gyro plate. The portion was huge and very tasty. The local people were very friendly. I'll be back. Thank you very much.

Unfortunately there has been a change of ownership... The portions are halved compared to before, but the prices remain unchanged. Plus it tastes completely different. The gyro is simply not as seasoned as before. Small portion, little taste, high price. I have been a regular guest for over 20 years, even after the only change in ownership, also almost 20 years ago. Please rename the snack bar, because it is simply no longer THE “Oberbilker Grill”. I still wish the new owners all the best. A little tip, Theo asks about the seasoning for the gyros. Then keep the old portion sizes, taste and prices and it will work.

Great... if only we had such a cool place with us. The next time I'm in Düsseldorf, I'll go here first. We were here with 10 people at the same time, it went quickly and everything was super tasty... The shop was really cool

After changing operator I ate a Gyros Pita. Compared to the last visit, only half the price at the same price. Very disappointing, I needed another bag of chips afterwards. Previously unimaginable. We miss the old Oberbilker grill with a fair price-performance ratio. Otherwise it will be a difficult year 2025 for all of us!

Very tasty gyros with very good seasoning and juiciness of the meat. I'll definitely come back. Keep it up! Top!

I ate a gyro plate there with fries and salad today. The fries were great and the gyros were a dream.😍 Tender, juicy and very good meat that was brilliantly prepared. Seldom eaten as well as there. Very nice staff, always happy!!!

Very large portions, enough to feed two people. Tzatziki very tasty, well seasoned gyros. New owner but still very tasty and far more than sufficient portions.

New owner has halved the portions for the same price. The quality is no longer what it used to be.

New owners? There is no longer a cozy atmosphere. Portions have shrunk by half... not even a glance at the service... food tastes like any other... Not what it used to be... a shame

Unfortunately not as good as the previous operator. Fries were first prepared and were logically cold. Chicken didn't look the least bit appetizing. Three people working, but much slower than before. We won't be eating here anymore.

******Actually eleven stars...But I can only give it five... So delicious and lots of it...Top quality. *******((.Update...now.. December, 2024..)).The tenant has changed. The quality is great but unfortunately the size of the portions has become significantly smaller than the portions we have been used to for years. So far, two people have been well fed by the "gyros on the plate" with fries on the side. Now you should take two portions. But the price has remained the same. The salad has also changed and there are no pepperoni and cabbage with it... the gyros is now also seasoned with paprika. It's definitely still tasty. But after many years as a customer, the change is a real shame. Unfortunately there is a point deduction.

Since the new owners, the portion has shrunk to almost half. The gyro plate was almost an impossible challenge back then, but now I stay hungry after eating. Tzatziki is no longer available as standard. I moved to the north of Düsseldorf two years ago and have enjoyed making regular trips to the Oberbilker Grill ever since. I was sad to no longer have such a good gyros shop nearby...now I don't have to mourn the OB Grill anymore. Everything has its pros and cons.

Update December 13, 2024: the owner has changed. Same prices, smaller portions. Bag is out of pepperoni. Hardly any coleslaw left. Little tzatziki. Too bad. Only 2/5 left. Had a rolled pita for just under 5 euros. The portion was large, it was really well seasoned, had lots of meat and salad. The bread was also delicious! It just didn't stay rolled up. Can absolutely recommend the snack bar!

This is my absolute favorite shop and I drive half an hour here every time because I like it so much. BUT: as another reviewer pointed out, you're regularly stuck in front of a locked door. In 2024, why not simply adjust Google opening hours with just a few clicks?

Why is it closed?? Best gyros in the world

Not really friendly... I told them how I wanted my meat to be well done... I got flabby, fatty meat... They made zero effort..... I'll never eat there again... ..

I haven't eaten something so delicious in a long time. Really good gyros, super seasoned and crispy. And the tzatziki is a delight. Highly recommended

Best fries shop in Düsseldorf 🍟♥️

Very nice food. Big portions and friendly staff!

An original little snack bar with great gyros and huge portions.

Classic chip shop, but with the best currywurst in the whole city!!! Very very tasty! 🤩

Incredible portion. Gyros, fries, tzatziki. Nothing more is possible.

Best gyros in Düsseldorf and the surrounding area.... Always the same quality for years and it doesn't let up... 🌸🌸

Visited this little restaurant by chance and it was a great coincidence because I had the best pita from them so far, it was first fried and then stuffed with gyros, salad and fries, it cost 8€, definitely the quantity, the meat and that Great taste, I can only recommend it

The food is good, but not greek authentic. Huge portions, two can eat one and this can be seen in the prices, which are quite high for a fast food restaurant. If you are in the area, it is okay, but if you seek true greek food, there are a lot better joints near Oststraße.

We live around the corner and since it's the only chip shop nearby, the shop is our first stop for a snack. However, we are often in front of closed doors during the stated opening hours. The opening times are signposted but apparently the shop always closes at will. At least that's how it feels to us.

Fast, fresh and delicious. Huge portions. Best snack bar in Düsseldorf with taste like it did 20 years ago! Hammer!

The food is surprisingly delicious and the portions are generous. Unfortunately the rooms are not the nicest.

Order: Gyros plate with fries €13 + pepperoni and tzatziki €2 Small snack bar with about 3 tables and several seats. Owner very friendly 😊 The gyros are seasoned very tasty, not too much or too little, just right. Pieces of meat quite large and with a little fat, which I personally think is very good ☺️ The fries were fried to perfection and tasted delicious. Onions and peppers good. Tzatziki plentiful and delicious too. In summary, not exactly cheap but tasty and enough to fill you up.😋👍

Great place for Gyros. Fabulous tzatziki and salad options all washed down with a cold beer.

Always the best Greek. However, prices are now excessive. 15 euros for a gyros plate is a bit excessive

Best snack in Düsseldorf. Greetings Bayer Leverkusen

Good place for eating and drinking. Price is not expensive for large portion. Staff is very good and friendly. Top 👌

Pretty little “chip shop” as we know it from back in the day. I have been a regular guest for 6 years. Very nice owners and simply the best gyros I've ever eaten anywhere. And I'm always looking! Can really only recommend it! The price is absolutely great and I think everyone should be fed up here.

I've known him since I was born and I'm still super happy 25 years later and it's like a very good friendship.

Really delicious! Big portion. Top

Yep… gyros seasoned quite strangely. It's really not mine. Meat from the grill was dry, schnitzel wasn't good either and the crowning glory was the lousy currywurst. It was definitely the last time in this snack bar.

Always great! Nice operators and great food!

Gyros with tzatziki and fries for 15 EUR currently (gyro plate). Sounds expensive and it absolutely is. But: The portion is for at least (!) two people. You can't do the amount alone. Unless you want to throw up afterwards. I give 5 stars for the quality. Fries could use a little more seasoning. They're pretty lazy. But it's still possible. Please, please halve the price and quantity. Then you will still be full and can enjoy the food. Otherwise you have to put the rest in the fridge and eat it the next day. That really doesn't have to be the case. It's never happened to me that I have to give up at a snack bar. Too much can also be torture... The model is also likely to be more economical. If you don't get enough, just order the gyro plate twice.

Very tasty gyros, the reviews speak for themselves. See you next time! 🫶🏽

Best pizza in all of Düsseldorf. I celebrate extremely 🥳

Very good food. Always my pleasure

Delicious gyros, large portion.

Best grill 🙏😊fast, tasty, friendly ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Simply delicious... It's a pleasure….

Super lecker und frisch, sehr gut

Der Grill ist schon seit über 20 Jahren. Das Gyros ist sehr gut gewürzt. Echt lecker. Die Portion sind Mega. Man kann schon den Tellerrand nicht mehr sehen. Personal sehr freundlich. Der Laden ist echt old school. Preis Leistung in Verhältnis zu den Portionen, auch sehr gut. Empfehlenswert

Einfach lecker und große Menge. Die Familie ist auch sehr nett

Ich mag die FETT SCHWATTE NICHT.

Wir waren wegen einem Konzert in Düsseldorf. Da ich Lust auf Gyros hatte bin ich mit meiner Freundin dort hin. Essen war super lecker. Die Portionen waren riesen groß, damit hätte ich nicht gerechnet. Wir waren Pappesatt. Wir wurden schnell bedient. Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich.

Sehr lecker!!! Große Portionen!! Nette Leute!!

Δεν ξέρει κανείς τι να διαλέξει, το ένα πιο νόστιμο από το άλλο! Η απογείωση της γεύσης και της ποιότητας! Μεγάλη ποικιλία, πολύ καλές τιμές. Όσο για την εξυπηρέτηση, δεν υπάρχουν λόγια: άνθρωποι εγκάρδιοι χαμογελαστοί! Όποιος πάει μια φορά απλά... μένει πελάτης για πάντα. Το συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα.

Das Essen war mega viel und mega lecker. Sehr netter Service

Große Portionen, immer freundlich und dazu geschmacklich mega lecker. Großes Lob ihr seid super

Bestes Gyros der Welt! Seit 15 Jahren kommen wir hierhin und es ist immer zuverlässig wahnsinnig lecker. Noch nie enttäuscht worden! Edit: einen Stern Abzug, da sie den Bogen bei den Preisen überspannt haben. Wenn ich für einen in die Jahre gekommenen Imbiss ohne Service in dem Ambiente mehr bezahle als in einem richtigen Restaurant, kann das nicht mehr als angemessen gewertet werden (rund 16 Euro für einen Gyrosteller). Portionen sind außerdem kleiner geworden, so werden Gyros und Salat mittlerweile auf einem Teller serviert, früher immer getrennt - so matscht das Gyros durch das Salatdressing durch und der Salat wird warm. Suboptimal. Geschmacklich sonst aber immer noch top.

Irre Portionen, saulecker und faire Preise. Mehr muss man nicht sagen. Gyros passte kaum auf den Teller und war mega lecker. Bedingung war fix, obwohl 6 Leute vor uns waren, hat’s keine 10 Minuten gedauert. Der Laden hat’s echt drauf, schön dass es sowas noch gibt!
