Öz Urfa Ocakbasi in Essen

If you order a lamacun as a starter, it only comes during the main course. If you go here after 3 p.m. the waiter will say lamacun It takes longer even though the store is empty. The waiter is just unfriendly and has the wrong job... We won't go here anymore.

Very pleasant, clean atmosphere and courteous staff. Delicious, varied dishes, served decoratively. Many thanks to the team 🙏🏼😊🥗🥘🧆🍽️ Update: Still as good as ever 😍

The waiter has no idea about hospitality, just unfriendly. You get the feeling that you are at best tolerated by him. The food came cold, the Turkish pizza as a starter always comes after the main course. The rice was cold. We were regular customers because the food was always delicious but the service and the unfriendly staff were not good at all. But the boss doesn't seem to care.

Eating took a long time and the waiters were extremely unpleasant, especially the ones with long blonde hair, but I wouldn't be in the mood for 8.90 an hour either

Unfortunately the breakfast buffet didn't taste good at all. Never again

In my opinion, by far the best Turkish restaurant I know! The meat, bread and vegetables are all 10/10 and the way the meat is prepared is also very, very good.

Meat quality of the Döner is really good. The staff was also kind and attentive.

The minced skewer was delicious. The doner meat didn't taste like anything. The order in which they served the food was a disaster. First came the salad bowls, then the drinks, then the cutlery, then three dips, then my soup, then the fresh and delicious bread for the dip. 2 minutes after my soup was served, my food arrived. So I had to hurry up with the soup or eat the cold food later. My daughter's kebab plate came when I was almost finished with my meal. While the waiters didn't have to serve, they were busy with their cell phones without even being aware of it. Definitely not recommended!

The food is very good. But a renovation wouldn't be bad. The decor is old and not very inviting. The service is fast and friendly but the employees are already stressed. A slightly more pleasant atmosphere and quieter events would make the store great. But the food is excellent.

The best Turkish food Great, friendly staff Very beautiful and attractive atmosphere

Good food, ambience is also ok but service could be much better.

I've been to Öz Urfa several times and have really appreciated the all-you-can-eat breakfast in the past. Unfortunately, a lot seems to have changed in the restaurant, perhaps due to a new owner. What used to be impressive in terms of taste is now absolutely disappointing. In the past, you were allowed to take as many drinks from the fridge as you wanted with breakfast - a real advantage. But now the drinks are charged extra without prior notice. The employees don't inform you about this, so the unpleasant surprise only comes at the checkout when you suddenly have to pay additional costs. Neither signs nor information indicate this change - an absolute disgrace and extremely customer-unfriendly. Another problem: children pay the same price as adults, which I find really unfair. It seems as if they are only interested in the income here, without taking the guests into account. The quality of the food has also decreased significantly. The food used to be fresh and tasty, but now the breakfast is unfortunately bland and carelessly prepared. For me, Öz Urfa, which used to be an insider tip, is unfortunately no longer an option. Very disappointing!

If you want to enjoy the taste, you should definitely come to Özurfa 💯 💯 Mustesem, smiling face, amazing service. I would like to thank all the hardworking brothers and sisters who work and contribute. May God grant you abundant income. I would like to thank my waiter brother who took care of me for his interest and interest💣

Best turkish restaurant in whole of essen, definitely come try it

Best turkish restaurant in whole of essen come check it out

Best turkish restaurant in whole of essen come check it out

Very tasty food and really nice staff. My wife and I definitely eat here more often. :) The atmosphere is also very pleasant!

Food tastes great! Service can be better.

I've been here twice already. I ordered a grill plate. Simply great. I think it's very good that there's something for everyone. Even mini lahmacun and kebab included. Dip and bread with it is simply awesome. Super

I must say that it is the best BBQ and turkish food in Essen. I have been to this restaurant many times and never gets disappointed. The portions are good and prices are average. I like there fresh house made bread. The staff is friendly. I will highly recommend this restaurant.

Perfect!! Warm people and the food came immediately. Warm and so delicious. Fantastic, would come back to Essen from Frankfurt just for this meal!!!

Was there on a late evening (during the week), with 3 friends, there were 4 of us in total. 2 people ate Adana, it tasted delicious and looked great. One of the colleagues had an Iskender. It was really not good, the meat was rubbery and full of hard pieces that you could only bite on and took away your appetite. After speaking to us, another dish was suggested to us, which the colleague politely declined because he had lost his appetite. We didn't have to pay the iskender either. Now to Adana one of us had stomach problems the next day and the other had food poisoning similar symptoms. The starter was bread with sauces which tasted very good and also looked very good. We can't complain about the service and there weren't any waiting times either

Doner kebab made from real veal, homemade, not industrially produced. I had the large kebab bag for €10, it was so big that I couldn't finish it. Next time the normal size for €7.50. Otherwise everything was good, meat, sauce, bread and salad. At the end there was also the obligatory tea on the house. Service was also friendly and quick. Absolute recommendation

I am writing this comment as someone who comes from gastronomy. After I placed the order, the beilages arrived and also the hot pita. The presentation and taste of the main course were amazing. The employees were also friendly and fast. When I come to Essen, I now know where to go.

We were here for breakfast, but many places were empty.

The waiter wouldn't even be at home in an arcade. I don't have anything more to say. I was with you five times, did a lot of advertising, but I don't come with my friends anymore. ✌️

The interior is not good, the food has no taste, the doner kebab is oily, it makes you sick to your stomach. Service is zero, quality is zero, you want zero bread, no, you finish the meal, the bread comes, I will never go there again in my life, and I will not leave my acquaintances...

Doner meat is very fine and perfectly seasoned, very good for gourmets.

The food was very, very tasty, the portion was also huge, so we were more than full. The fresh bread was our highlight with the starter. The staff was extremely friendly and tried very hard. It was our first time there but definitely not the last time.

Very tasty food, and thanks to our nice and friendly service. Gladly again...

Great buffet with a really tasty selection, lots of egg dishes, bread, dips, salads, bread, tea, etc. The price-performance ratio is great and the service is very friendly! One star deducted because some of the food was really very oily, otherwise everything was great :)

We were here twice today. But there will never be a third time again! There are plenty of people on the street who would be happy to accept our money with more friendliness. We came in and were able to choose a table. The waiter, if you can call him that, seemed slightly overwhelmed and didn't have a friendly face. We received the menus quite quickly. After we ordered, the flatbread with the dips arrived. Our drinks were all placed on the corner by the young man (waiter) and yet in a restaurant he asked if that was possible or if we needed glasses. I just said, well, I would like a straw. Then 3 glasses came without comment! Then at some point the two grill plates arrived! I didn't have any food. My son and my husband noticed that my food was going to another table. Because someone had already complained. But we weren't offered a single word of apology in the form of language, so I had to wait while they were both already eating. When both were half finished, my husband asked if they had forgotten us, and they apologized because they had swapped the tables. I'll go on to say that 6/7 minutes later, you can hardly believe it, my food arrived!!!!! While the other two were now finished. Quite honestly!!!! We had also ordered tzatziki but oh well….. Everyone's food seemed to be good. My fries were totally over salted, the flatbread on top was so hot that my tongue and mouth really burned!!!! The halfway good thing was the meat. The taste is ok because there are no spices. Sorry when we asked for the bill the young man (waiter) at the cash register said payment would be made. Not a kind word, they didn't like it, they didn't want a cup of tea at the end...just nothing!!! But we were asked all this on our first visit... there was even a second piece of the delicious thin flatbread on the board without any incident... Well, today we spent our hard-earned money in this restaurant for the second and last time. So, you can scare away guests because you know there are enough of them who will come back, no matter what. These are my experiences today ☺️

Unfortunately the kebab meat was very fatty and partly gristly. The ambience left us expecting more.

We've always enjoyed eating here but unfortunately lately we've been getting diarrhea and stomach ache after eating, which is why we won't be eating here anymore!

Service very bad. Food often burned...

Kelle Paca is literally getting a bone, the staff is indifferent, it's like he's selling rice from his car rather than a restaurant 😅 I don't understand

Doner kebab was rubbish, bread was harder than a stone

Food very tasty and fair price. Only recommended

This restaurant is impeccable. Fantastic grill platter with salad and fresh flatbread from the oven. Fantastic!

This isn't my first time eating here, and it won't be the last either. The food is absolutely great, the bread is a dream. The service is always top, especially when Azad is there.

So I have to say you can't expect much for the price, but the wishes were taken into account by the employees. But I actually got the shock when I paid, I also had to pay for our 3 year old daughter!!!

Very delicious, everything is delicious, good service, polite staff.

Öz Urfa Ocakbasi is a super nice, clean restaurant. It scores points with all of its dishes - whether kebab or a large grill plate, everything is on point. The delicious breakfast buffet is particularly recommended. We are loyal regulars!

I really enjoy eating here. Clean, nice waiters and delicious food :)

We have been there several times now for the very good and extensive breakfast buffet and twice for dinner. There is absolutely nothing to complain about, very nice people, great selection of authentic Turkish food! The quality of the meat is also worth highlighting! Best grill plate ever!

Top breakfast buffet and top cuisine for lunch/evening. You can tell that the kebab is homemade. Everything at the highest level. In the photo is the mixed plate for 2 - unfortunately we didn't quite manage the large portion.

Simply great and very tasty. Everything fits here

Very nice staff, very good food. In my opinion, the best Turkish restaurant in Essen. Price performance is also right.

Today we went to our favorite breakfast restaurant with the family again after a long time. As always, the food was incredibly rich and delicious! It's not a breakfast in the traditional (German) sense, but more of a Turkish brunch, which we really like and prefer to any German breakfast. Yes, of course there is the German roll with jam, butter, honey, Nutella, as well as sausage and cheese toppings - but that's not what we want to eat there. The very tasty and extensive selection of Turkish delicacies is hard to beat. Drinks such as tea, Nescafe and three different breakfast juices are included. We'd love to come back!

By far the best kebab restaurant I've eaten at in Germany. Thanks to the masters and waiters, everything was very good.

Food was delicious. Ate a good scoop of Paça and delicious Dürüm at 3 a.m. In my opinion, the Dürüm kebab could have had a little more meat in it. Otherwise nothing to complain about.

Super friendly, very tasty, good portions, fair prices

I definitely recommend it, it was delicious and filling, all the staff were very friendly, thank you.

Delicious food, the food comes to the table quickly, the waiters are all very helpful, especially the waiter Azad is great! :-) He is very friendly and does a great job!

Well located and exceptional staff with great service. Super friendly and the food is of excellent quality. Price-performance is beyond reproach and simply calls for a repeat performance.

The food was very tasty, the starters were also very generous and tasty. You get a huge hot Lavaş bread with dips as a starter. The main courses were also very tasty. We had juicy meat, as well as very crispy lahmacun and pide with meat filling. It was delicious. Ambiance was ok, but not special, waiter very nice and too presentable. We would recommend it 👍🏻

Food was super delicious and Azad is the best!

Always happy, great food, nice atmosphere

Very tasty, the best Iskender I have eaten in Germany. The home-baked bread is also very tasty. Always my pleasure

5 stars for you!!! You get the first one for the TOP cleanliness in your shop; the second, for the freshness of your food; the third, you get for your friendly and cheerful demeanor; You get the fourth, for your flexibility (when it comes to special requests) and the fifth and brightest star from me, for your really delicious kebab. You are the TOP address if you want to satisfy your big hunger. I like to come back again and again. Continued success!!!!! Just great, by far

Everything was great, friendly staff and food. It's a nice place where you can go with your family (don't be fooled by the bad reviews).

The food is very good and delicious, thank you very much, it is a nice and clean restaurant to visit with the family.

Suppe, Döner Teller, İskender, Künefe, Baklava lecker.Sie sind freundlich All meals are delicious and satisfying, Döner is very good

We really liked the food and the service. It is a special place where you can go as a family. I wish you success.

Great delicious food. I always enjoy going there. Azad is a great waiter. Azad on the 1st

We went as a family, the food was great. They took very good care of me. All the employees are very attentive, we loved the kebabs, thank you to our masters, I highly recommend them..

It's a place I can definitely recommend, the employees were very respectful, the grills were excellent, you can go with your family with peace of mind. Thank you

Paid €60 for uncooked meat + found scrap in meat shop

Paid €60 for uncooked meat + hair in the food!!! Biggest rubbish shop!!

Food wasn't even disgusting last time I was there.

Bro, I went there for the second time today, I have never seen anything like this, I ordered grilled lamb, there are five of them everywhere, here I got 4, the price was 25 Euros, I started to cut four small pieces of meat with a knife, man, they didn't cut the meat, the meat was cooked, they put pita next to me, they gave me 3-day-old pita, I couldn't take it back. I sent it, none of them came to apologize, the service is bad, there are maybe 5 waiters inside, but none of them are on the market, the grilled uncooked bread is hard, the prices for 3 days are 25 Euros, they put 4 lamb chops, they robbed us of the picture, it's a cheap place, I never liked it, my right. If anything is forbidden, I waited 10 minutes for a glass of cola. I don't recommend you to go. By not eating, bad service, bad prices, it's getting worse, they are robbing people, they are serving bread and meat that others haven't eaten, it is not a family place, they give you 5 pieces of grilled food on each side, it costs 19 Euros, there are 4 small ones, 25 Euros. I didn't see uckagıtcilkk. They also took the meat the child was eating because he had no money, they are not afraid of God, you are not ashamed at all, you are not afraid of God, you will do anything, do not go to the first and last time I came, two of us went and paid 60 euros. I came home, fed myself at home, everything is terrible👎👎👎🤑

Friendly people, stylish atmosphere, we liked it very much, thank you

Food was very good and plenty of it. The restaurant was very clean and tastefully decorated. Staff was very polite. Prices weren't too high either. I can't say anything negative about it. I'll eat there more often now.👍👍👍

Food was pretty good, unfortunately service wasn't that great. Nevertheless, I'll come back for the delicious food!!

Today I had breakfast in the restaurant. It is so bad. I paid 12 euros. But it is said to have been a 5 euro breakfast. Either make a normal breakfast table or not.

We called before iftar to see if you had a seat. We have received the answer that you do not need to make a reservation and it is risky if you are late. We came too. Then you tried to make us out to be liars by saying "you don't have a reservation, you don't have a reservation, why didn't you make a reservation?" (our brother with the goatee). This was very disrespectful and rude. Luckily, two places were available and we had our iftar. But the rest of the brothers and sisters were very kind and helped us with everything.

If you open a restaurant in Germany, you should be fluent in German. Every single order was brought to the table wrong and cold! I could write a lot more, but I'll hold back here. The prices are a disgrace… The bread at Iskender was rock hard!!!

Thank you, the food was legendary, the staff was excellent, everything was delicious, it tasted like Türkiye, everything was very nice.

Very tasty food, very friendly staff. And as always, a very courteous Türkan who always has an ear for her guests...☺️ Always worth a visit!!!

Great service, great waiters, very tasty food... top notch.

The service was quick and attentive, the atmosphere was modern. Unfortunately the kebab plate was not convincing. There was a lot of meat, but it was quite dry and tough. The meat, tzatziki and salad were seasoned extremely sparingly - I've never had to season the kebab meat until today, but the meat tasted so little that it was urgently needed. The tzatziki also only tasted slightly of dill, unfortunately you won't find the typical taste of garlic here. The lamb iskender tasted more intense in terms of meat, but the portion size was quite small. Conclusion: If you find kebab overly seasoned elsewhere, you will get your money's worth here. Unfortunately for me it lacked too much flavor.

The food was very oily. Pide was not good, it was bitter and oily. Here starters were paid for, which were free in other kebab restaurants.

Actually a great shop. Employees are always trying hard, but unfortunately the kebab meat was brutally over salted. I've eaten a lot of kebabs but this one was the salty kebab why?

It was super delicious food, everything was fresh, the service was very nice, all in all a really nice evening and we would love to come back 👍

Actually a 5 but since we eat there often, it happens that the gentlemen sometimes lose control due to the rush and prepare everything too quickly, so that the kebab meat and fries are either not cooked through or are sometimes served cold .

🌟 A heavenly treat! 🌟 The ambience of the restaurant is inviting and stylish, so you immediately feel at home. The service is extremely attentive and friendly, and the staff is always available to answer any questions and make recommendations. But now to the most important thing: the food! Every dish prepared by the chef is a real taste explosion. The combination of flavors and textures in each dish is simply phenomenal. The attention to detail and creative presentation make every dish a masterpiece. It was a pleasure to taste these culinary creations and discover them with our taste buds. We loved our experience at this restaurant and highly recommend it. From the friendly atmosphere to the excellent service, the best boss (she is really nice and friendly) to the sensational cuisine with the talented chef - dinner here will be an unforgettable experience

Tasty, good service, fair prices. There are a lot of people and there are not always places

Just got the kebab raw. According to the waiter it was the spice that supposedly looked like what a disgusting statement we just had to do. Numbers are also not recommended.

I was there again today, January 31, 2024, and was able to try the breakfast. It's actually not breakfast in the traditional sense, but more like brunch. If you like a lot of sausages and cheeses, you're in the wrong place here. But there are so many things in different cold and warm versions that you can enjoy. Instead of filter coffee, there is tea and various cool drinks, which are included in the price. So it's not what you as a German would imagine a breakfast buffet to be like, but there are so many other delicious things that you can't get enough of, it's definitely worth it, even if you go there often nearby is… I was there on 01/22/24 because I had business nearby. The restaurant was still busy at 12 noon with guests taking advantage of the breakfast buffet. The rooms are nice and cozy, the staff is very accommodating. I then decided on the minced meat skewer with fries and salad. Beforehand there were delicious dips and a great tasting flatbread fresh from the oven. There is an absolute recommendation for everything. Great in terms of taste and appearance. You then had to pay at a cash register at the entrance. If I'm in the area again, I'd love to come back. Thumbs up and keep it up, thanks to the team...👍

A family restaurant for Turkish meals. It was a great experience The staff is friendly The food is excellent The place and facilities are clean Prices are reasonable

One of the best restaurants I have tried so far. Amazing taste. Highly recommended 👌 P.S. their laam kebabs doesnt stink 😀

Essen war sehr lecker. Restaurant war schön eingerichtet und sauber. Es war voll aber trotzdem genug Platz für alle. Kellner konnte etwas freundlicher sein. Kellnerin sehr freundlich. Wir werden wieder da gehen und ich empfehle dieses Ort weiter.

If you're looking for a warm and welcoming dining experience, I highly recommend trying out some of the amazing Turkish cuisine available in the area. Not only is the food delicious, but the atmosphere is truly delightful, and the staff is always so kind and accommodating. You're sure to have a wonderful time!

Musik war besser als das Essen.

Всё вкусно и отличное обслуживание 🇹🇷🤝🇷🇺

Ich war bisher regelmäßig dort essen. Beim letzten Besuch war das Restaurant so voll, dass wir neben in der Bäckerei Platz nahmen. Er haben 2 Adana und 1 gemischten Teller bestellt. Zudem Ganzen war nur ein Zeelöffel cacık und scharfe Sauce. Bei den Anderen war ein kleiner Teller voll. Der Keller sagte zwar, dass er bringt hat aber nicht gemacht. Zudem war die Atmosphäre laut durch schreiende und toben de Kinder. War alles andere als angenehm.

Yurtdisinda 40 tan fazla ülkeye gittim çoğunda Türk restorantlarinda yemek yedim, burası içlerinde en guzeliydi, yemekler kaliteli ve lezzetli kahvaltısı çok iyiydi tavsiye ederim

Sehr liebes Personal, essen schmeckt sehr sehr gut, sehr ruhig dort und Alles Top

Lezzetin tek adresi ve hizmet çok güzel doğum günü ve özel günlerde önereceğim tek adres

Kaum zu fassen aber gerade Essen abholt und in dem Leber Dörem waren tatsächlich 2 große zerbrochene Glas Splitter ! Sofort Blut ausgespuckt! Hab da angerufen und mich beschwert.Da bekommt man einfach eine plumpe Entschuldigung! Und erst beim mehrmaligem Wiederholen kam dann das Angebot ein neues zu machen! Unglaublich Steh immer noch unter Schock
