Orkide Döner Kebab in Essen

Meat was very tasty. Good quality and great taste. Unfortunately, the bread was too crusty and broke while eating. Please also cut the lettuce smaller, the large pieces of cucumber and tomato were a bit annoying. I would also recommend without sauces because meat is very juicy and tender. This kebab doesn't need any sauces.

Unfortunately, for my taste, the kebab wasn't as good as previous speakers described. For me, the meat had a bit of gristle in it, and I didn't like the sauce either (which, again, is subjective). The bread was good.

I think it's the best döner kebab in Germany, you should try it..

We ate here together at the recommendation of work colleagues. One of the best kebabs I've ever eaten. I also noticed the cleanliness very positively. There is nothing to improve except the parking...

Good kebab. The device cut the meat. Meat juicy and bread crispy. Clear recommendation.

It is a nice Doner shop in Germany. They have very friendly staff, with smile, and helpful. Service is very fast. Price-quality ratio is very good. You can easily fill your stomach here with just a little. Large portions, with lots of meat in them. Taste is also very good. It also has a cozy atmosphere.

Very nice place, good staff and delicious food

Great kebab, nice service, highly recommended!

4th time here in 1 week, still my favorite kebab in Essen. No matter how busy it is, the staff is always friendly and it always tastes great.👍🏻

The staff is always polite and the food is delicious at any time of the day. The best kebab shop in Essen.

Every time I drive from Bremen to NRW I have to stop here and eat. Top quality. Best regards and see you soon.

For me the best kebab in the area, a recommendation for everyone. The staff is super friendly and accommodating, you always feel welcome and in good hands. The meat is my favorite, which is why I usually get it separately. The kebab is always packed with meat and the side dishes and sauces are also of the best quality. I can 100% recommend this kebab shop to everyone who comes here!

Highly recommended, super clean and very friendly staff especially Hasan Bey 👍

Best kebab I know. Quality and price absolutely in harmony. Been coming for years and have never been disappointed. Update 10/2022: seems to be a new owner. Prices increased (I can live with that) Portions now significantly smaller. Seems to be different meat now too. Due to the poorer quality and smaller portions, it is no longer a good price-performance ratio. I won't go there anymore. Too bad. Update 11/2024: tried again. Tastes good. Still small, little salad and expensive. Too bad.

Place was really busy and thought it might be rushed but the kebab was still fantastic

The taste of the kebab is okay. I found it much better a few years ago. The price is official, way too expensive.. For the price you get a children's kebab, the ingredients seem to have been counted out. Unfortunately, I think the business only survives because of the location and its good reputation at the time by being named the best/one of the best kebabs in Essen. The lahmacun tasted disgusting - but of course that can be a matter of taste. Location is good, there are plenty of seats. But I don't understand why so many employees are behind the counter. Addition: I ordered tavuk sis. I don't know what I expected. The seasoning of the meat skewer was quite good, but the skewers were fried in the pan and the consistency wasn't the best. Already on the chewy side. If you compare that with an ocakbasi, there is a world of difference (also in terms of quality). If you compare it in terms of price, where somewhere else you have two thin flatbreads with you and everything including vegetables comes from the charcoal grill.. The skewers were also on top of the fries, which were already mostly soaked like currywurst sauce. So Orkide has potential, but people just don't think about it? Certainly different in the restaurant. But if deliveries are offered, at least put some thought into the composition in the food bowl. Too bad. The overall experience just doesn't fit here.

Best kebab shop in Rütenscheid and very friendly staff, I definitely recommend it

There are so many people here and there you can see her eyes and eyes orkide Very nice and friendly staff. The food also tastes very tasty. Top I can only recommend it 🤩

No matter what time of day I go to Orkide for food, it always tastes wonderful and very tasty. The staff is very nice and the store is clear and clean. I give 5 *****😊 in all categories.

Probably the best kebab in Essen!

Meat was cold, hardly filled with salad 9 euros too expensive never again

You order extra ketchup and pay for it, you want garlic dip for it, what happens? Nothing of both. And not for the first time Sorry, it's annoying and then you won't be picked up if you keep pulling one Bread is really soft again. Funny, before the 6 weeks of summer vacation it was really good

Orkide has the best kebab, everyone in Essen knows that! Especially on the night shift you always feel as welcome as if you were with your own family!! 6 stars

The kebab tastes excellent and the employees are always very friendly

Best kebabs! SUPER DELICIOUS, the first kebab that gives umami! Thanks Wahid!

The kebab could be a little crispier. Otherwise everything was great

The best doner a person can taste

Everything was great 👍 actually 10 stars ⭐️

Very warm welcome, good atmosphere and very good food

My friend and I went for dinner and ordered a chicken kebab pocket and a large veal kebab pocket. I was disappointed with the chicken kebab. The meat was not on the kebab machine, but was prepared in the kitchen and served that way. It was said that the chicken kebab is freshly cut every morning, kept indoors and served when ordered. It didn't seem fresh to me, but I tried it anyway. Unfortunately the meat was completely burnt. The veal was also tough and tasteless. The “large” size was misleading; The bread was bigger, but there were hardly any more ingredients. The regular pocket bread was tasty, and the salad was fresh. The young man at the checkout was friendly and attentive to the customer. In total we paid around €20 without drinks, but we weren't really satisfied.

Best kebab & Yavuz Abi best man #WhatWillManMore?! 👌

Great for years! Come here every now and then and have never had a bad experience. Employees always friendly

Good and fast service. Food was great!

The best kebab in Essen, be it after Lucy or just in between, kebab and kebab plates are always a pleasure. Thanks to the device, you can work late into the night because the device is never tired. I also happened to be there once before the store opened and the device was already in the store before the boss, if that's not even in use then I don't know what a great store!

Food was ok. The vegetable kebab could be better seasoned - especially the vegetables. But people, EIGHT EURO for 5 small sarma (stuffed grape leaves), which you don't even make yourself, but come ready-made from a can from the supermarket, is already steep. More expensive than my kebab 🤦‍♂️

The Dürum to take away tasted great and was ready in record time 😄 The guys behind the counter are motivated and friendly 👍🏼 Clear recommendation 💯

Always very happy. Large kebab plate, OMG my first choice when we are in Essen R. Great, very good portion, delicious sauces - great selection, the meat was very tasty, everything was super fresh. Fries and rice great! Great display, nice service. There is also a kebab/dö er plate with grilled vegetables. Always happy to come back. Prices are high, but I'm happy to pay for the quality and taste 👅 It's not for nothing that Orkide won the vote for the best kebab food on Tiktok!!!! Congratulations 🥙

Cool kebab shop with a very tasty kebab. The staff is super friendly and enjoys their guests. Come back.

In my opinion the best kebab in Essen! 👍

One of the best döner I've tried so far. Plates are huge, so better take one to share. It would be good even without any sauces, becouse meat is fresh and juicy. Great seasoning and lots of different veggies. What to want more? :)

First of all: definitely one of the best kebabs in Essen. The bread is great, the sauces are really tasty, the meat is well seasoned but nothing out of the ordinary in my opinion. I find the ratio of meat and salad in the kebab to be optimal. The staff has always been friendly to me so far. But I think 8€ for a kebab & 9€ for a Dürum is really too much. This cannot be justified with increased costs. 2 small kebabs including drinks €21. I think it would at least be appropriate to offer a menu price (e.g. kebab + drink) that would make the whole thing a little cheaper.

So sorry, paying 11 euros for a kebab with a can of cola is absolutely too much. Service borderline, not a nice atmosphere. Doner was ok so far - but not for the price!

During my visit to the Germany/Düsseldorf fair, we came to eat doner kebab in Essen upon recommendation. I can say that I have never experienced such attention and taste. The business has been doing this business for two generations. I can really recommend it not only for eating but also for tasting. It's a clean place.

€9 for the kebab - the price went up and the quality subjectively went down... there was a lot of cartilage in the meat

Quality nothing intoxicating, not real Fletsch but processed stuff not worth 8 euros. Drink €3.50. You can get a kebab plate somewhere else with a drink for that price

We have eaten at Orkide several times and have always been happy with everything! Today we as a family ordered food for a buffet for a celebration! The service and offer were 1A! Very satisfied...the boss who organized the whole thing was super accommodating and did everything he promised! Price-performance ratio just as great!! Thanks to the whole team ♥️

It was takeaway, but not good at all. The meat wasn't really cooked through and felt like a pulp. €2 would have been ok, but not €8.

One of the best kebab shops in Essen…very nice staff and great food. You can eat here without hesitation! Thanks !

Very, very nice employees and they put in a lot of effort!! The food is so delicious 😋😍!! The quality of the food is very good! And fresh ingredients too!! Even offer vegan and vegetarian food, a lot of choice of food!! Plus the staff are very helpful!! That's why I go to them so often and can only recommend them!!!

Solid kebab shop with a good selection - unfortunately the vegetarian selection is very manageable - attention is paid to cleanliness

Sorry, but I can't quite understand the consistently good reviews. The service is great and the guys are nice. But that's not what it's supposed to be about. The large kebab is really expensive at €11, but the size is okay. However, it's just sliced ​​flatbread. The kebab itself, it couldn't be more standard. Meat absolutely 0815 and the sauces bought from wholesalers like you can get on every corner. Sorry but you really can't give this more than 2 stars. If that's the standard in food, I really feel sorry for people.

Today, after a long time, I drove from Stolberg to my hometown in Essen and visited my good friend at Orkide and had a delicious meal there with my older son. It was very nice with you and we were warmly welcomed and greeted. The kebab was very tasty and we would love to come back to you!

We have lived in Rüttenscheid for 30 years and have enjoyed going to Orkide for many years. In our opinion, the quality and service have declined massively. It used to be a small team, everyone knew each other and had a nice chat. Today it's still friendly, but nothing personal anymore, just mass processing. That would still be manageable if the food hadn't become extremely more expensive but increasingly "loving". The meat is completely over-seasoned ready-made meat. The sauce that made this kebab stand out from the rest is now only mass-produced (there is now cocktail sauce!!! to choose from). It seems to me that it's all about commerce. It's a shame, the competition is unfortunately far too great and there is no longer any reason to choose Orkide over the other stores.

A very good shop to really enjoy and recommend.

Very tasty doner, very good and nice service and very clean.

The atmosphere you get here is just great! I ordered a kebab plate based on the kitchen's recommendation and wasn't disappointed :) I finally found out the names of the 3 employees and give big praise to Esak and Rami

Very good food, highly recommended!!!!!

Great food! Very tasty and very good service. Mr. Eshaq and Rami were very polite and nice.

A very good shop with very friendly employees Eshaq Ramin and Wahid can only be recommended.

As always, it tastes very good and they are very friendly. Simply top, always happy 👍

I ate a kebab plate, I have to admit it was very tasty. I can't say anything negative about the atmosphere, on the contrary you feel really comfortable. It doesn't resemble a run-of-the-mill kebab shop.

Very good service and food, I can only recommend it!

The taste of the chicken meat differs positively from the usual. Tomato and cucumber came in large, bite-sized slices. Yoghurt, spicy, tzatziki and cocktail sauces are available, but you only get tzatziki and spicy if you order “complete”. The price of €8 for a small kebab and €11 for a large kebab is debatable, but it is justified by the freshness of the ingredients. The staff wasn't unfriendly, but they weren't particularly friendly either.

Doner kebab is a bit above standard, but now a kebab costs €8 and that's just too much. That's why it's only 3 stars, so if you have a lot of money in your pocket you'll be well served. Service but very nice and correct.

Good, solid kebab - sauces were wild (very good), meat was ok - no comparison to Oguz in Neuss, for example. Employees were very friendly and the store not only looked clean but also inviting. For me the price of €8 was too expensive for the quality of the meat - hence 4/5 stars.

I've really never eaten such a delicious kebab before... and we happened to be there. Respect, if we are in Essen again we will definitely come back!

My absolute favorite kebab. Every ingredient is of great quality (meat, vegetables, sauce). What is also particularly noteworthy is that the staff and the food have always been of a high standard for years.

I had a small vegetable kebab for 8.50 euros. There were very few vegetables in the kebab. Meat, sauces and bread are standards or have no special flavor. Friendly service.

Everything perfect!! Friendly people, delicious fresh food and stylish clean shop. I really like the sweet yogurt sauce, the meat is juicy and the salad is fresh. Prices are completely clear.

My last visit!!! My eyes almost popped out of my head. The price of a small kebab has almost doubled. From €4.30 to €7.00 for a kebab! ⚡️My wishes were not taken into account either. They left things out as requested but instead they added other ingredients as requested. Save endlessly and don't get fed up with the price... if it doesn't backfire... I'm not coming back anymore. I find it more than cheeky! And I hope other customers see it that way too. There are Limits. Update: Prices just keep increasing, now we're at €7.50. Probably only runs because you're drunk and don't care how expensive the kebab is when you come out of the club across the street. ———— Answer: Right, I'll update ☺️ I actually really enjoyed coming but I think it's super cheeky. Especially if you leave out ingredients. But I'm glad that you're still staying positive 👍🏼 I'm still not coming 🙂 Kind regards

The kebab shop has really delicious food, great service and affordable prices. Just perfect! 😋🥙 can only recommend.

Well, I come from Frankfurt and our kebab is also very tasty, but here the kebab was good when I was there

We ate a lentil soup to satisfy our hunger and we were very satisfied.

Very nice staff and delicious food

It's become very expensive now but that's the case everywhere, the problem is that when it's colder the shop seems very small because you can't eat outside, the food tastes good and is definitely the top 3 kebab in all of Essen.

I'll start with the "Staff": always very kind and helpful. The Döner or Dümürm (which I always take) is truly delicious. A place to try

A highly recommended kebab shop in the heart of Essen-Rüttencheid. The personnel is very friendly and courteous. The Orkide kebab is highly recommended. Very juicy meat. We'd love to come back.

Oh vom Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis meiner Meinung nach überhaupt nicht gerechtfertigt war früher mal besser und ist für mich heute nur noch ein Döner den ich nachts nach dem Club essen würde

The most disgusting kebab I've ever eaten, the meat not cooked through and cold and too salty. It's unbelievable that this store gets positive reviews. For a kebab and coke €11 and not edible. Never again

My absolute favorite kebab in Essen! The quality is just right here - the kebab plate with the sweet yoghurt sauce is particularly enjoyable. The atmosphere in the store and on the terrace is really nice. For me the most beautiful and friendliest kebab shop in the region. Highly recommended if you haven't been there yet :-)

The kebab plate was great. But what was even better was the staff, who were really friendly and attentive. I can recommend it to everyone.

Always a safe bank. Good quality, great taste and very nice staff (at the checkout). I'm happy to come to you regularly. Update: the small kebab now costs €8. Despite inflation, a borderline high price for me. Hence 1 star deduction.

Everyone was so nice, super clean and sweet atmosphere. Most importantly food was delicious!!

We eat there often and are always very satisfied. Great atmosphere, all the employees are very nice and accommodating. And the food is really great!!

Orders taken quickly, implemented in a structured and organized manner behind the counter! Individually fixed on the plate for maximum enjoyment. For me, the portion size and taste experience are completely consistent. The price is adjusted to the surrounding level and is still ok, but generally should not be higher if the economic situation allows it! The opening times are very generous and adapted to the nightlife in the area. Excellent! I like going here and the staff is always super friendly and nice!

The inflation rate, even for food, is not so high that it would justify the price of €8 for a small kebab sandwich.

A small kebab bag for €8 with gristly meat and unfriendly staff. I threw away the kebab after one bite. Just disgusting. Promotes one of the best kebab shops in Germany. Incomprehensible at all. There are much better ones in the surrounding area.

I highly recommend them, the food is excellent, the quality is friendly, they listen carefully and provide complete service, thank you very much 😊

Einen ordentlichen gemachten Döner ist hier zu finden

Viel zu hohe Preise. Das steht bei der Qualität des Essens in keiner Relation.

Heute war ich das letzte Mal dort. Ein Dürüm für 9 EUR !!!! Wenn ich richtig gerechnet habe, und ich mich richtig erinnere, dass der Dürüm vor 4 Jahren noch 5,50 EUR kostete, dann wäre das eine Inflation von rund 13% in jedem der 4 Jahre. Und das stimmt nun wirklich nicht. Und soooooooo lecker und außergewöhnlich ist es dort auch wieder nicht. Schade. Wir sind viele Jahre dort hingegangen.

Ich war zufällig in der Nähe und hatte Hunger. Aufgrund der positiven Rezensionen habe ich den Laden aufgesucht. Ich habe einen Dürüm bestellt und wenig später einen erhalten. Geschmacklich gehört dieser zu den besten die ich jemals gegessen habe und zu meiner Belustigung wurde das Fleisch von der Gerät geschnitten. Salat und Soßen Auswahl mehr als reichlich. Einzig was mich stört ist der Preis von 8€ für einen Dürüm, daher nur 4Sterne.

Sehr gute Qualität aber leider mit weniger Fleisch als normal

Bestellung ging sehr schnell und war sehr lecker. Die Mitarbeiter sind auch alle sehr nett gewesen. Kann man gerne weiterempfehlen

Ausgezeichneter Service super essen !

Sehr lecker und mit Abstand der beste in und um Essen!

Sehr freundliches Personal und sehr leckere Speisen! Hat schon einen Grund, dass es einer der besten Döner Deutschlands ist!

Wirklich sehr leckerer und Preisgerichter Döner + plus super personal

Cana yakin calisanlarla harika ortamda kaliteli doner
