Papay Restaurant in Frankfurt am Main

We took falafel and shawarma sandwiches, the food was delicious, good price while the staff were friendly and supportive

Unfortunately, it's very bad. The meat shawarma is full of skin and gristle.

Very good shawarma plates, service was very nice and friendly, the food arrived quickly and fresh.

The food was salty, the chicken wasn't good, the portions were small, and it wasn't worth the price. That's what I liked; it was a terrible experience. I wish they would close the restaurant.

Alanzinho chicen shawarma plate. Delicious and a good price. Service is fast and efficient.

The food is good, but the staff at the checkout could be friendlier to the guests.

It's not like it used to be. Quality has deteriorated, staff are worse, and the young cashiers are unfriendly.

Lamana is an excellent restaurant with delicious food; we always eat there, and the staff are very respectful.

It was really, really good and delicious. They are nice and very polite. The crispy and roasted version was very good.

The beef/lamb shawarma used to be okay, but now it's really disgusting. The meat is extremely fatty and feels like rubber, with not even a hint of classic shawarma seasoning. The chicken shawarma is okay, but their toum (garlic sauce) has far too little garlic.

God willing, they will learn how to speak and deal with customers, although it's difficult here in Frankfurt.

I've visited this restaurant several times over the past few years, most recently just a few days ago. To be honest, this restaurant is one of the few that has not only maintained its high standards but has actually improved its service. The food is excellent. I tried the beef and chicken shawarma, as well as the crispy and roasted versions – all the dishes were consistently outstanding. The service is fast, and the staff is friendly, attentive, and very helpful. The atmosphere is pleasant and inviting. One of the few restaurants in Frankfurt where you can truly enjoy authentic and delicious Syrian shawarma.

So delicious! I've never eaten such a good shawarma before. I could eat it every day! Amazing!

Wallah, best place. Whenever I'm in Frankfurt, I eat there. Only nice staff and a great atmosphere.

The best chawarma I ever tasted. I strongly recommend thia restaurant 👌

All the people were super nice, the food was delicious, #shawarma is the best

Very tasty, good staff, very nice, very friendly

Very friendly staff, excellent food, I can highly recommend it.

Cozy restaurant, very friendly staff. Large selection of dishes, incredibly delicious food.

Very, very decent men! The food tastes delicious (the shawarma is number one!) ❤️

The place is a bit dirty and has an unpleasant smell. The food is good, but the beef shawarma has a lot of fat. The chicken shawarma has too much garlic sauce in it.

The food was so bad and the guys there were so unfriendly. I have no idea if they speak German, but nobody wanted to talk to me. The shawarma was incredibly dry and greasy, and the supposedly crispy chicken was also greasy and soggy—nothing crispy at all. It was a complete disappointment.

I visited an Arabic shawarma restaurant and the experience was pleasant and relaxing. The place was clean and tidy, and the staff's welcoming manner made a good first impression. The shawarma had a distinct flavor and a well-balanced seasoning, and the bread was fresh and served warm. The prices were reasonable considering the quality of the food, and the service was organized and timely. It's a worthwhile experience for anyone looking for authentic Arabic shawarma in a relaxed atmosphere.

The food is expensive for the quality.

The shawarma is awful. And the service is terrible. You get full while waiting for your order.

One of the best restaurants around! I would recommend to get the shawarma platter since it offers the best value with pickled vegetables and plenty of sauce to dip your wraps in. The staff is sweet, but they don't all speak English so if your German isn't great, be prepared for a game of charades😂. The sauce is ADDICTIVE!!! Highly recommend!!

The food is good roast chicken.

Cleanliness, food, and customer service. Five stars isn't enough for this restaurant; I'd give it 100 stars! It's the tastiest and cleanest restaurant I've tried in Germany. Best regards. Cleanliness, food, and service – five stars aren't enough for this restaurant; I would give it 100 stars! It's the tastiest and cleanest restaurant.

Way too salty. Initial maybe a three star in food but seems to have declined a bit again the Chicken sharwarma too dry and not enough quality check before putting charred pieces in sandwiches. The veal still ok but far from expected. Well not many in this city if you want sharwarma many Turkish döner but not the same.

Update from November 1st, 2025 Thank you 🙏 Another incredibly delicious meal! <<Yummy>> 🥰 #GrillPlateWithRice; #🫶🏻; #🤤; Mega delicious Syrian food!! 😍 Always a pleasure 😉🤤🙏 Thank you 🙏

I arrived at the snack bar to find the queue disorganized and no one greeting me. Then I sat down at a table where the chairs were ripped, the menus were sticky, and there was no view due to pixelated windows. Arabic music played continuously. I'd give it zero stars if I could. To get my food, I had to go to a separate counter to order, and I had to pay because they didn't trust me. It only took a few minutes, but the shish fries were bone dry, and even while eating, I felt uncomfortable because everything was so unhygienic. Speaking of unhygienic, I saw (I assume the owner) at the beginning scooping fries out of the fryer basket with his bare hand.

To be honest, I'm no longer satisfied with the food at this restaurant. Last time I had crispy fried fish, it was very oily and not fried properly. It used to be better.

Best Shawarma in Frankfurt am Main

I ordered a chicken shawarma. The food was freshly prepared and ready within 3 minutes. It tasted really good. I almost got a second one because it was so delicious. Truly amazing. Definitely a recommendation!

I tried their shawarma, it was excellent and the service was fast.

Arabic restaurant with good and tasty food.

Great shop, it tasted really, really good. I was really full. The owner was also very friendly! Thanks :)!

We took sandwiches to go. They were truly delicious, I can't say enough about them.

My experience at Papay Restaurant: We visited Papay Restaurant today to try the food – unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations. Prices: Quite high for the quality of the food. Taste: Most dishes were very salty; the saltiness was noticeably too strong. The pickled side dishes didn't seem fresh or homemade either, but rather industrially packaged and also too salty. After the meal, I was extremely thirsty and had to drink almost two liters of water at home. Observation: Some Ukrainian guests, including children, were obviously also unable to enjoy their meal – several plates of almost untouched food were returned by the waiter. Cleanliness and atmosphere: Unfortunately, we noticed that one of the employees – the one on the shawarma skewer – was smoking while working. Furthermore, several people were standing outside the restaurant by the shawarma area, also smoking. The cigarette smoke was very disturbing and negatively impacted the atmosphere. This is completely inappropriate in a restaurant where food is prepared. We hope that management will ensure that smoking is prohibited in and around the dining area in the future. Conclusion: We hope that Papay Restaurant will place more emphasis on the quality of its food, less salt, and a clean, smoke-free environment in the future. The restaurant has a good reputation and should offer a level of service that lives up to its name.

Good Syrian restaurant with classics like shawarma and various meat dishes (chicken, veal, lamb). I ordered the shwarma plate. It was excellent value for money! The shwarma had a very good roasted flavor, and the accompanying "sour" pickled vegetables were also a delicious combination.

Arabi eaten with chicken 10/10 quantity and 10/10 taste jazak Allah khair

It was a shame that the food was delicious. Unfortunately, it started to decline. The shawarma was rancid and the broasted chicken was not up to par.

The food is very good, the service is fast, and the most important thing is the cleanliness, it's great.

Zero Zero!! The bread is rotten!!!!

I ordered the chicken shawarma meal here and was very disappointed. The portion was extremely small. the fries were so few you could literally count them, and the wrap was tiny as well. Definitely not worth the price. Won’t be coming back here again.

Unfortunately, the treatment is bad and the food is also very bad.

The treatment, food and service were poor and deserved only one star.

Rapid rapid rapid service! Food was hot and in front of me within 2 minutes. The flavour was absolutely amazing and anyone looking for amazing Syrian food in Frankfurt must come here!

Good and affordable. It is recommended.

Excellent service and delicious food, the portion is enough for one person, the only problem is that the shawarma is a bit too oily

Unfortunately, the food was very average and did not live up to expectations, especially since the restaurant is located in a big city like Frankfurt.

Very nice place with authentic Syrian food, although sometimes they don't have all the dishes, I suppose it's because there are a lot of people and they run out of food, but everything is very good.

Very nice atmosphere, service and food is delicious and excellent

The taste is delicious and recommended.

Bad service Third hour wait and no one asked you what you wanted and you were not allowed to order by the glass. You have to sit at a table so they can be kind to you and send someone to take your order. Unrepeatable experience...and I do not recommend it. Bad service ... Sloppy service Three hours wait, no one was hungry after the meal and didn't order glass. You have to sit on a table, so you are treated kindly and someone is not allowed to order. An experience that didn't require repeating...and I can't recommend it. Sloppy service.

If you are a visitor to Frankfurt, I advise you to eat here. The prices are reasonable, the food is clean, and the service is excellent.

Shawarma was next level flavor was crazy good

Everything is top, the food is excellent, the Arabic cuisine is incredibly delicious, highly recommended

Very tasty food, nice and attentive waiters ☺️

The best Syrian restaurant in Frankfurt. The shawarma is delicious, the owner is generous, and the workers are kind.

The food was not bad, team and service were very good

Syrian restaurant Their food is clean and excellent

Unfortunately, we ate shawarma that was two days old (maybe more). It stank, and the manager was unsympathetic. Sorry, but never again.

Honestly, I visited the restaurant more than once and I said it was the last time, and it was about a year ago. But today we were close and we decided we would pass by and eat shawarma. It was the biggest disaster. We ordered shawarma and the skewer was old and it tasted bad and smelled unusually bad. When we called the guy, he tried to convince us that there was nothing wrong with it, thinking we didn't know what it tasted like. It was strange and suspicious.

The best restaurant in Beijing. The restaurant owners are always friendly and respectful.

Delicious, but the shawerma could be bigger.

Definitely one of the most delicious shawarma in Frankfurt. With chicken was extremely good. With lamb unfortunately not

Hygiene isn't taken seriously. The shawarma was okay but not good. Crispy tasted of flour. I wouldn't go back...

Excellent service and friendly staff, and the owner is very nice. The food is delicious, and I always enjoy being there. I always enjoy eating there ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I wish you all the best and much success in the future ❤️

The price in general was perfect, the food is also super tasty but I found it very salty and also tastes delicious

The service is excellent, the staff are respectful, I recommend it

incredibly delicious I have been here 4 times in the last 5 days

The food tastes good, you can do it but you don't have to, but the portions and the prices are very outrageous, the staff are very unfriendly and disrespectful, except for a young man who worked as a waiter, but apart from that everything is a pure disappointment

Portion too small for the price. Food was okay. Staff very rude when commenting.

Mashallah there’s Papeye - best fried chicken and shawarma Syrian style. We are actually neighbors and come occasionally to enjoy their creations. It’s also very children friendly.

Shawarma is inedible and very expensive. A kilo of shawarma costs 60 euros.

Food very tasty staff polite fast service would go back 👍👍

The best shawarma I've eaten in Germany for 14 years

Best traditional schawerma in Frankfurt

The food tastes really delicious and the work is really clean, the staff are very friendly🙏.

I ordered a chicken sandwich, unfortunately the meat was stale and cold.

Very tasty food, nice people, great atmosphere overall, very good shop, recommended!

Best restaurant in Frankfurt Delicious 😋

I'm talking about menu 5, which I always order. The shawarma, the sauce, the fries... Perfection. I've been there for more than 30 times and the food was the way I expected it every single time.

Unfortunately, the food is bad, the mayonnaise is not good, the bread is stale and smells bad.

Very tasty and clean and friendly

40 minutes for a shawarma sandwich and in the end you forget it. You have always been bad at service and failed restaurants.

One of the best shops that really has something to do with Syrian dishes. They know what they're doing, work hard and orders are ready quickly. Everyone is super friendly and helpful and always tries to find a way to be welcoming to customers. I always drive for an hour just to eat here. I would really recommend it to anyone who really wants to try what Syrian cuisine tastes like.

The food is delicious and tasty, the service is excellent and the staff are all respectful.

Perfect Shawarma ! I’m Syrian and it’s authentic and as it should be :)

Lecker aber Overrated as fuq in my opinion

A very delicious restaurant, authentic shawarma. If you're a shawarma fan, don't hesitate to visit. The service is more than wonderful from the young men. Thank you. The place is clean.

I love Papay in Frankfurt! The Syrian dishes are incredibly delicious and taste truly authentic. I was particularly impressed by the shawarma and the fresh grilled dishes. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is very friendly and attentive. For me, it's the perfect place when I'm craving delicious, fresh food. I highly recommend it!

The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. I can only recommend it.

A very tasty and beautiful shop

Food tastes very good, staff is very friendly, fast, everything is great 👍👍 I can only recommend it
