Restaurant Aspendos in Stuttgart

Disappointing across the board – never again! I was really hoping to have a nice evening in this restaurant, but unfortunately I was sorely disappointed. The food was a disaster - carelessly prepared, tasteless and in no way what was promised on the menu. But as if that wasn't enough, we noticed that other guests seemed to be given preferential treatment. While fresh, appetizing food was served at the neighboring tables, we felt like we were second-class guests. The service? Unfortunately just as bad as the food. The staff was unfriendly, annoyed and sometimes ignored us. Instead of our concerns being taken care of, we were fobbed off with an annoyed look. Conclusion: If you are expecting a nice evening with good food and friendly service, you are absolutely in the wrong place here. I definitely won't be coming back and can only advise everyone to spend their money elsewhere!

Unfortunately the visit was a disappointment. The service was inattentive and we had to ask multiple times to get our menu. We also received different plates and glasses than expected. The food was of poor quality and way too expensive for what we were served. The staff was also not very friendly. Overall a very unpleasant experience.

We celebrated our first wedding anniversary yesterday and reserved a table. Unfortunately we arrived half an hour late because we had an hour's drive and a traffic jam. Nevertheless, they cooked for us even though the kitchen was already closed. The food was very tasty and traditional, exactly what we were looking for. The staff took good care of us and it was simply a lovely evening. Thank you very much and keep it up😊 Kind regards Özmen

The breakfast was absolutely delicious! There was a lot of choice, including vegetarian dishes, and you could try it out perfectly. The employees were very friendly/accommodating, the prices were justified and the atmosphere was really cozy. That's why I highly recommend it, I'd love to come back!

A thoroughly successful evening, the ambience, the food, the wine, the service, everything was perfect. Would definitely recommend a reservation, which thank goodness we had. It was very crowded, which speaks for itself.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐️Ein echtes Juwel für türkische Spezialitäten in Stuttgart! Ich war auf der Suche nach authentischer türkischer Küche und bin im Aspendos fündig geworden – und was für ein Erlebnis! Schon beim Betreten des Restaurants wird man herzlich empfangen und fühlt sich sofort wohl. Die Atmosphäre ist einladend, stilvoll und dennoch gemütlich. Das Essen? Einfach fantastisch! Die Meze sind frisch und voller Geschmack, das Fleisch zart und perfekt gewürzt, und die hausgemachten Desserts sind ein Traum. Besonders empfehlen kann ich den Adana Kebab und das Lamm aus dem Steinofen – ein Genuss! Auch die Pide sind knusprig und reichlich belegt. Der Service ist ebenso herausragend: aufmerksam, freundlich und professionell. Hier wird Gastfreundschaft wirklich gelebt! Wer in Stuttgart Lust auf erstklassige türkische Spezialitäten hat, sollte sich Aspendos nicht entgehen lassen. Ich komme definitiv wieder!

small quantity, average service

Very tasty food and very pleasant atmosphere. Service was very friendly and helpful. Always happy again.

I was with you for the first time. And definitely not the last time! And what more can you say than in one word: recommended! What great food, what first-class service and an atmosphere that is simply fun to be with you as a guest! Thank you

I was here once in the summer and found the food really tasty. Unfortunately I wasn't so impressed this time. The eggplant cream was rather bland, the octopus was not al dente, and the meat was unseasoned. Unfortunately the bulgur was also overcooked. However, I would like to positively highlight the lentil soup and the manti – they were really tasty.

This was the third time we had breakfast. Lots of choice, high quality products, pleasant atmosphere. Breakfast until 2:00 p.m

Seit 13 Jahren sind wir treue Stammgäste des Restaurants. Immer zufrieden und nun das: Schon beim Eintreten des Restaurants störten wir uns an der überaus lauten Musik. Warum man plötzlich so beschallt wir.....keine Ahnung. Völlig unpassend für ein Speiselokal der gehobenen Klasse! Aber es kam noch schlimmer: Die Speisen wurden auf kalten Tellern serviert. Ein absolutes no go. Auch das Essen war teilweise kalt (Kartoffeln) Den kostenlosen Raki gibt es ja schon eine Weile nicht mehr. Der hätte uns vielleicht etwas aufgewärmt, denn im Raum war es sehr kalt. Nachdem unser überaus kompetenter und freundlicher Oberkellner Elvis nicht mehr da ist, sehen wir keinen Grund mehr, das Aspendos zu unserem Lieblingsrestaurant zu zählen.

Super delicious food. Employees are very friendly. Relaxed atmosphere and nicely decorated.

Great service and a great elegant location. You always feel good.

Ambiance 10/10, food 10/10 wow! Really good food. We will definitely repeat. All employees were friendly and service was great

The service was top, the food came very quickly and was very tasty. The new owner takes great care of everything, you can see progress every week, especially in the ambience. I can only recommend it!

Friendly team. Great food. Great service. Thanks!

Das Aspendos hat uns wirklich begeistert. Die Atmosphäre war gemütlich, und das Personal war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Wir haben eine Obstplatte, Meze, Sucuk mit Ei und weitere leckere Speisen probiert – alles war frisch, wunderbar gewürzt und absolut köstlich. Besonders die Vielfalt der Aromen und die Qualität der Zutaten haben uns beeindruckt. Man merkt sofort, dass hier mit viel Liebe gekocht wird. Ein Restaurant, das wir jedem empfehlen können, der die türkische Küche schätzt. Wir kommen definitiv wieder – 5 Sterne!”

The dishes tasted outstanding; Unfortunately, we waited almost 90 minutes until the dishes were on our table. We made reservations for 8 people at 6:30 p.m. The staff was very friendly and apologized several times, but there was no change in behavior until the end.

“Authentic, delicious and a real taste experience! We really loved the Aspendos. The atmosphere was cozy and the staff was very friendly and attentive. We tried a fruit platter, meze, sucuk with egg and other delicious starters - everything was fresh, wonderfully seasoned and absolutely delicious. We were particularly impressed by the variety of flavors and the quality of the ingredients. You can immediately tell that the cooking here is done with a lot of love. A restaurant that we can recommend to anyone who appreciates Turkish cuisine. We’ll definitely be back – 5 stars!”

Absolute recommendation! A culinary highlight with a cozy atmosphere. I had the pleasure of dining at Aspendos and it was an all around great experience. The menu offers a wonderful selection of dishes, all prepared with fresh ingredients and great attention to detail. The service was attentive, friendly and professional without being intrusive. The ambience of the restaurant is also very inviting and helps you immediately feel at home. The prices are absolutely justified for the quality of the food and the excellent service. I can recommend Aspendos to anyone who values ​​good food and a special experience. I'll definitely be back!

Great restaurant with great food. Real Turkish cuisine as it should be, gladly again!

The breakfast in Aspendos is simply wonderful. We ate very tasty food. Everything was very fresh and beautifully served. The staff is very friendly and you feel very comfortable. We will definitely come back. Everything was top notch!

Visited Aspendos for the first time. When you enter you immediately feel the pleasant atmosphere, the light and furnishings are harmonious, I recommend sitting on the glass terrace to absorb the whole aura of the building/restaurant. The starters and grilled dishes, especially fish, are Turkish cuisine on a new level. Service is very attentive and friendly, had a great evening and will definitely come back.

Very delicious food! Great ambience, very high quality and elegant restaurant with super friendly service!

A great restaurant that you can go to with your family. It is a perfect restaurant with its friendly staff and offers delicious tastes that you cannot find anywhere else 😊

After our civil wedding, we celebrated at Aspendos with family and friends - and it was simply perfect! The location is beautiful, the food was just as delicious as on our first visit, and the service left nothing to be desired. The team was super attentive and made our day special. We and our guests were completely thrilled - a clear recommendation for special occasions or a nice meal!

Festive atmosphere, fast friendly service, good food

Good selection of vegetarian dishes

The staff is very friendly, I recommend with confidence, the food is very good. Keep it up Abi.

We visited the restaurant for the first time for breakfast. When we wanted to order 'Serpme Kahvalti' twice for 4 people, the waiter informed us that this offer can only be ordered per person - so 4 x 19.90 EUR. The breakfast was rich and in our case would have been enough for two people with just one order. Turkish tea was not served in a classic teapot, but in a pot. The service was extremely friendly, but we found the price to be quite high. Due to the cost, I probably wouldn't visit the restaurant again.

It was a very tasty restaurant. Unfortunately the operation is a mess. First we were placed outside in the winter garden (very nice there). Then they asked us to move to another seat because they needed that table for new guests. Then they repositioned AGAIN because they also needed this table for the NEW guests. We felt like idiots. Afterwards we were seated in the restaurant. In addition, the waiter brought the wrong food and kept forgetting about us (when we ordered water and wanted to pay). Just a shame. In and of itself it was a nice restaurant, delicious food, but just very hectic and disorganized.

Great Turkish restaurant. Service and food really tasty. There were lots of heaters set up in the "winter garden", so it was nice and cozy in the cold season (even if a little dark). I will come again and definitely recommend the restaurant. Thank you!

Super delicious breakfast and lunch. A touch of Türkiye in Stuttgart. Definitely worth recommending.

Super tasty and really nice staff. Can definitely recommend 👍

Turkish breakfast, varied and very tasty. €19.5 per person including a pot of cay and a wide selection of spreads, egg with sucuk, fruit, cheese and cold cuts. Very good!

Wir waren zu viert im Aspendos in Stuttgart, voller Vorfreude auf gehobene türkische Küche. Als Münchner hatten wir uns online nach einem guten Restaurant umgesehen und hatten hohe Erwartungen. Leider wurden wir bitter enttäuscht. Ambiente: Das Lokal hinterließ zunächst einen guten Eindruck. Wir durften uns im Wintergarten einen Tisch aussuchen, was angenehm war. Doch leider endeten die positiven Eindrücke hier. Service: Der Service war das einzige Highlight des Abends. Die Bedienung war freundlich und bemühte sich trotz allem, was schieflief. Essen: Die Wartezeiten waren zu lang, obwohl das Restaurant kaum besucht war. Die Vorspeisen (kalt und warm) kamen nach zu langer Wartezeit. Während die kalten Vorspeisen geschmacklich in Ordnung waren, waren die warmen Vorspeisen nur lauwarm und bestenfalls durchschnittlich. Die Hauptspeisen enttäuschten auf ganzer Linie: Rinderfrikadellen: Vier winzige, trockene Frikadellchen, die offensichtlich in der Mikrowelle aufgewärmt wurden, serviert mit Bulgur, einem Stück eiskalter, trockener Grilltomate und einem kleinen weißen Bohnensalat – für 20 €. Gegrillte Aubergine: Auch dieses Gericht kam nur lauwarm aus der Mikrowelle und ohne jeglichen Wow-Effekt – 15,50 €. Lammhackspieß: Der Spieß wurde auf eiskaltem, trockenem, nach Pappe schmeckendem Fladenbrot serviert. Die bestellten Rosmarinkartoffeln entpuppten sich als drei kalte, gekochte Kartoffelscheiben. Ein Dip zum Fleisch, wie man ihn von türkischen Restaurants erwartet, fehlte völlig. Alles wirkte lieblos und in der Mikrowelle aufgewärmt – weit entfernt von „gehobener Küche“. Das macht mein türkischer Imbiss an der Ecke besser! Zusätzliche Beobachtung: Anscheinend ist der Sonntag kein guter Tag, um im Aspendos essen zu gehen. Es wirkte, als stünde an diesem Tag nur ein überforderter Hilfskoch in der Küche. Wenn das tatsächlich der Fall ist, sollte der Wirt ernsthaft in Erwägung ziehen, das Lokal sonntags besser geschlossen zu lassen, anstatt den Gästen ein derart enttäuschendes Erlebnis zu bieten. Fazit: Das Aspendos konnte unsere Erwartungen nicht einmal ansatzweise erfüllen. Für diese Qualität sind die Preise eine absolute Frechheit. Einzig der Service rettete den Abend vor einem kompletten Fiasko. Wir waren nicht die einzigen Gäste, die sich über die Qualität beschwerten. Leider können wir dieses Restaurant niemandem empfehlen.

Many thanks to the Aspendos team, we had a wonderful evening.

I was looking forward to a relaxing evening at this restaurant, but the service ruined the entire visit. The waiter was extremely unfriendly, inattentive and seemed completely uninterested in serving us. Instead of answering our questions politely, we only received pat answers. The food was okay, but the horrible service overshadowed everything. It's a shame - for this price I would have expected at least friendly service. Definitely not a recommendation!

Went to Aspendos for breakfast on a Saturday. The breakfast menu is super diverse and delicious. You can even order unlimited spreads/bread and Cay. The service is top. In terms of price it is more than okay. The atmosphere is also very nice and everything is clean! The only thing is that it is a bit cold, especially when someone enters the restaurant and the door opens.

It's been a long time since we visited your restaurant, but when I was looking for a seafood restaurant, I remembered our previous visit. It was winter and unfortunately it was very cold in the restaurant because the heaters weren't turned on. Even though we sat far from the door, the cold was noticeable. The wait for the food was quite long and the taste was average, nothing special. It might be worth a try for others, but it wasn't a highlight for us.

Very, very tasty cuisine, courteous, friendly staff. Great ambience, great value for money. We'll be back. LG SnäckTheLänd 💛. More gastro tips on our Insta channel.

The food is delicious, but the staff is cold-blooded and the service is late, which is a bit of a problem.

Portions are too small, I would have expected more for €28.

Always a top address in Stuttgart. Very good food and service for still moderate prices. And a delicious raki on the house included at the end!

Excellent restaurant with authentic cuisine and first-class service! Aspendos is a real highlight in Stuttgart East. From the first second you feel at home here, the welcome is warm and the service is attentive and friendly. The selection of dishes is great, and I particularly enjoyed the freshly prepared Turkish specialties. Whether meze, lamb dishes or fish – everything was incredibly tasty and prepared with great attention to detail. You can taste the quality of the ingredients straight away, everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. We particularly recommend the homemade bread and the grilled specialties – an absolute delight! The ambience is stylish and cozy, ideal for a relaxed evening for two or with a larger group. The price-performance ratio is also more than fair for the high quality of the food. Aspendos is definitely one of my new favorite restaurants in Stuttgart! Conclusion: If you are looking for authentic Turkish cuisine at the highest level, you have come to the right place. I definitely will

Aspendos is an absolute gem for Turkish cuisine and a must for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the culinary diversity of Türkiye. The selection of mezze, grilled meats, fish and fresh authentic salads is impressive and prepared with such attention to detail that every dish is a delight. The ambience is also convincing: stylish and inviting, it almost feels as if you were in Istanbul for a few hours. The staff is particularly noteworthy - friendly, attentive and always with a smile, they make you feel welcome and enjoy every moment. A great restaurant with authentic flair and excellent service. Aspendos will definitely be our new regular spot in the city!

We went to Aspendos for breakfast and loved it! There was a wide variety to choose from, from savory to sweet, so there was something for everyone. Everything was fresh and very tasty. The staff was also extremely friendly and attentive, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We would love to come back – absolute recommendation!

Umbeatable experience. Try the red wine Yakut Kavaklidere

Das Ambiente ist sehr ansprechend, aber die gereichten Speisen waren enttäuschend. Gummiartiges Rinderhack mit kaum gewürzter Tomatensauce, zäher Lammspieß auf eiskaltem Pidefladen, dazu ein flapsiger Service. Dafür zahle ich beim Dönerladen meines Vertrauens die Hälfte. Schade um den schönen Abend!

Great food and very friendly staff. Even with extras there is no saving. Creates a good feeling

Going by what I heard, I was disappointed. In my opinion there are better ones in Stuttgart! I won't go there again. But everyone has to decide for themselves.

Our expectations were exceeded, we'll be back! Super tasty starters and the lamb was also wonderful. The tables were beautifully set and the service was great. Keep it up!

Mega delicious food, friendly, simply beautiful

I had the pleasure of eating at Aspendos Turkish Restaurant in Stuttgart and I absolutely loved it! From the first minute I felt warmly welcome. The food was simply fantastic! I started with the classic mezze platter, which had a wonderful selection of different starters. Every dish was freshly prepared and full of flavor. The stuffed grape leaves and hummus were particularly a highlight! The meat was tender and juicy, and the various sauces and fresh vegetables rounded it off perfectly. The portions were also more than generous - you really get your money's worth here! The service was equally impressive. The staff was friendly, attentive and always made sure that we didn't lack anything. You can tell that real hospitality is practiced here. Another plus point is the price-performance ratio. The prices are more than reasonable for the high quality of the food. Overall, I can only warmly recommend the Aspendos restaurant. Whether you're a fan of Turkish cuisine or just want to try something new - you've come to the right place. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Food was perfect - taste festival at its best! top service too. thanks again to the Aspendos crew!

Very tasty food. Unfortunately the service is a bit inattentive. It was still a lovely, delicious evening.

Delicious. Great casual service. Child friendly. What more could you want?

Great atmosphere, the food was very tasty. The staff and service is very good, I can recommend it to everyone.

Employees of the Year – applause please! We were just eight hungry people with a lot of money in our pockets, but hey, what does that matter? According to the website, the restaurant was supposed to be open until 11 p.m. - we arrived “already” at 9 p.m. And the first sentence from the over-motivated waitress? "We're about to close the kitchen, so order quickly!" Of course, nothing is better than having to stress about eating. Shortly afterwards, the waiter came rushing in – as if his shift had been inspired by survival training – and urged us to order the drinks immediately. Even better: the chef himself came out and earnestly tells us: "Make it quick!" (In Turkish but everyone understood what they wanted). Sure, I prefer to order my food in a sprint. We were so impressed that we just got up and left. They could have easily made 400 euros from us, but hey, what's the point of making sales if you can drive away your customers? Oh yes, another little tip on the side: the images on Google? Pure fantasy. We wanted to order dishes from the photos and the waiter? "There's nothing like that here."

As Turks, we have high expectations of a Turkish restaurant and what can we say, we were very satisfied. The fish isn't even on the menu because it's fresh every day and different. Really great cuisine, great terrace, great service. Will definitely come more often and with more people 😊

Typical Turkish cuisine, but in an upscale style. This definitely makes this restaurant stand out! Ambiance is extravagant and very beautiful. Service has a very nice and friendly demeanor. Happy to come back!

If you want to eat fish you should definitely come here, the waiters are very caring friendly and be sure to try it after the number one fish

The atmosphere, the quality of service, the food, everything was wonderful. They always have a unique touch in the way they prepare the traditional Turkish foods that I know and love. Eating these dishes in Germany, prepared better than many places in Turkey is an experience one must try. I have never left Stuttgart without having visited Aspendos once, and I don't think I ever will.

It`s not like a classical turkish restaurant. We started with meze and raki to our dinner. By the way they have different raki brands, which I am just amazed. Then I had an amazing fish with salad. The staff was very helpful with the selection and fast with the service. I also liked the decorations and the atmosphere inside the restaurant. Next time I visit Stutgart again, I`ll definetly come again.

Best Turkish restaurant in Stuttgart

Good atmosphere. I recommend trying the starter sauces: Köpeoglu, Fava, Girit Ezmesi and the exquisite Patatesli Hingel

Typical Turkish cuisine, but in an upscale style. There is air conditioning in the winter garden, which makes your stay very pleasant. Friendly service.

Nice and quiet ambience. First class service and really delicious food!

Amazing atmosphere, super service, delicious food.

I don't know where to start, the gavurdag salad tastes just like you're in Turkey. The breads are nice and crispy. We were warmly welcomed and accompanied to a seat despite no reservation. Very, very friendly, so highly recommendable, the store will see me again and I have to mention that it even comes from Karlsruhe

Excellent Turkish food, friendly staff, well worth a visit.

Very friendly staff. Delicious food

I absolutely loved my visit to this restaurant! The service was first class - the staff were attentive, friendly and always available to accommodate our needs. The food was simply sensational! Every dish was superbly prepared and full of flavor. I was particularly impressed by the fresh quality of the ingredients and the creative presentation of the dishes. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience. I'll definitely be back!

Great Turkish food. The Adana Kebab was delicious. Impressed by the freshness of the ingredients. Service super friendly as well. Try and sit on the beautiful outside terrace. Will come back.

Super nice service, food tasted great. Starter Hydari very fresh, the bread without words. Main course grilled chicken skewers, we would love to come back

Not a typical Turkish restaurant. Very friendly and elegant. The food also tasted very good. A MUST when visiting Stuttgart 😊

Service and ambience were great! The food was incredibly delicious.

Food and ambience incomparable! We were here for the first time today...mmm fluffy freshly baked flatbread and extremely tender chicken. The fish from the grill was fresh and extremely tasty. I haven't eaten so well in a very, very long time. You don't often find food on this level in Stuttgart

Everything was great, great atmosphere

Ein ganz wunderbares Restaurant. Wir wurden sehr nett empfangen und das Ambiente ist wirklich sehr schön. Das Essen war hervorragend, von der Vorspeise angefangen bis zum Dessert. Der Service war ausgesprochen gut, man hat sich rundum wohl gefühlt. Wir bekamen Raki aufs Haus und noch zusätzlich einen Chay. Wir werden, wenn wir das nächste Mal in Stuttgart sind, auf jeden Fall wieder kommen.

Delicious Turkish food. Helpful and courteous staff.

Fantastic food, super nice staff and everyone very attentive. If we were from here, we would definitely come back - highly recommended. The two of us had the starter platter and the vegan main course and it was wonderful.

charming restaurant with nice atmosphere and good food

Very tasty, v. a. the appetizer platter!

Excellent cuisine Great service I recommend wines straight from Turkey The amount given is with a bottle of wine

İşini hakkıyla yapan kişilerin mekanı, hem bol çeşitli hem de Türkiye lezzetinde, personel çok ilgili ve alakalı. Kesinlikle tavsiye ederim.

The food is good and the service is quality But letting cattle into the restaurant is a disaster. It will be an insult to the oxen, but since human-looking animals can also enter and it is a shame that there is no intervention to sell 2 plates of food. I don't know if it happened to me, but I am ashamed of the people of my nation. The service team could not say, "There is a family around you." Shame on you, in one word, DISASTER

Feed back Sehr gutes Essen .Das beste Türkische Restaurant in ganz Stuttgart . Der Service ist einfach nur top. Ambiente ist sehr einzigartig aus und sorgt für eine Gute Stimmung am Tisch

Delicious food great service! Upscale ambience. We will be back!

If you want delicious Turkish food with a great ambience then you've come to the right place. Everything was perfect from the service to the food. Would love to eat here again and again.

Great food - very professional service - what more could you want! 6 stars

We were there for iftar. We were welcomed very friendly. Menu is well thought out and service is good. Prices are a little higher than usual, but the food is delicious.

Very good tasty food. Super competent, friendly and familiar staff.

Yesterday we went to Aspendos for the first time with friends. I ordered the KARISIK IZGARA and was more than impressed, the Adana skewer was soft and very, very well seasoned as it should be, the lamb cutlet neither smelled nor was it tough, it was buttery soft and aromatic. The chicken was juicy and also well seasoned. Our starters such as hummus, which also tasted very good, did not disappoint. The salad was as expected. I can't stop raving. Flatbread was topped up every time which had been warmed up beforehand. The desserts rounded everything off perfectly. The service was super friendly and very nice. The ambience is great and clean. It has definitely become my favorite restaurant in Stuttgart. Everything harmonized perfectly and I will visit it every time I am in Stuttgart from now on. A huge compliment to the chef and the staff. If you've never been there, you've clearly missed something!!! Thank you for the great evening ❤️

We were there for a friend's engagement party. Very friendly team. Delicious Turkish food. An all-round successful evening. And everything went smoothly despite the large number of guests. The lentil soup and the starter plate were particularly excellent.

Delicious grill, superb service, fine ambiente!

Really nice restaurant, friendly service and very good food! The portions and side dishes chosen could be a little larger, but that is my personal opinion. We'll still be happy to come back!

Great food and great service. Loved the Adana kebabs

Service, Essen und Ambiente waren hervorragend. Wir waren am Valentinstag dort essen und waren mehr als zufrieden. Immer wieder einen Besuch wert!
