Restaurant Aspera in Hannover

I haven't enjoyed such good Turkish food in a long time. Everything was just perfect, from the attentive but unobtrusive service to the location and the soul food. Highly recommended!

The best Turkish restaurant in Hanover. I'll definitely be back! 🙏🏻🥰

Dear team at the Aspera restaurant, we ate with you yesterday. Very friendly service, delicious food. Best, Christine and Mike from Berlin PS: Keep up the good work and stay true to your philosophy.

Nice restaurant with delicious food and very friendly service

We were warmly welcomed with a glass of tea and were seated at a comfortable table. The ambiance is a blend of traditional and modern. We like the mix. The service is very attentive; we didn't miss anything. The portions are generous and the value for money is reasonable, albeit a bit pricey. The wine is also delicious. We are very satisfied and completely full. We will definitely be back.

We had lunch at Aspera for the first time today. The food was very good and the service very friendly. It won't be our last visit.

Excellent cold and warm starters. Delicious lamb and chicken dishes. A lovely ambiance both inside and outside in the courtyard. Perfect service. A great team.

We ate in the courtyard, and all the dishes were excellent. We'd love to come back.

It's very good. It was recommended by a Turkish person. I came here to eat several times later, but I always ordered Beyti Kebap. I didn't dare to try anything else. The food was very delicious and not bad.

Highly recommended: delicious food, attentive service, and a fantastic atmosphere. Even larger groups are no problem here. We'd love to come back!

We had a fantastic evening! Super delicious food! Great service! We'll be back!

Good service and food is also top

We had the Turkish menu. It was fantastic!! Never had such good Turkish food!

The sultan's eggplant puree and the appetizer plate (especially the eggplant fritters) were delicious. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The wait staff was very attentive and hospitable. The tea served at the end of the meal was also very nice.

Delicious food, very attentive service, and a lovely atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

The reception was super friendly, the ambiance was incredibly pleasant and quiet for Hanover city center, in a lovely, quiet alleyway. The food is simply so tender and delicious 😋 I rarely take the time to give feedback, but this restaurant deserves it. I'm still sitting here enjoying my Turkish tea after the mixed grill and the appetizer, fried eggplant with cornflour. Finally, a restaurant that truly deserves 5 ☆ stars for everything! Today's visit wasn't my last! Thank you, Aspera.

The flavor, service, attentiveness, and price were all legendary. Ideal for a long dinner of Turkish delicacies, far from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The service was attentive and friendly. The staff was helpful and accommodating to our requests. And of course, we can't forget the food; it was delicious and highly recommended. See you soon.

A definite 5 stars for me. The food was amazing; I haven't eaten this well in a long time! 🤤 The team was incredibly friendly and accommodating... I had an appetizer plate and then the grill plate, and they explained in detail what delicacies were on each plate! 👌 I definitely recommend it, and I'll be back! Thank you for the perfect evening!

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. It was definitely worth the trip from Göttingen, and we'll definitely be back.

We were here as a private wedding guest. When it was mentioned that I was vegan, they immediately made an effort to find alternatives for me and two other vegans. We were served a cold starter, a warm starter, and a warm main course, all of which were delicious! The service was generally very attentive, friendly, and quick. Thank you for this great service!

I was not very found of Hannover but the restaurant which I visited made it worth to travel there! The food is amazing, one of the best in my life! The restaurant staff was extremely hospital. I will definitely go back to get the experience once again. With all my heart I recommend the place!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A real highlight – Restaurant Aspera! We had a wonderful evening at Restaurant Aspera! The food was simply outstanding – fresh, flavorful, and prepared with great attention to detail. The selection is varied, and every dish was a delight. We would especially like to emphasize the warm welcome and hospitality of Eyub, the owner. You immediately feel how passionately he runs his restaurant. The service was attentive and very friendly – you feel truly welcome as a guest. The atmosphere at Aspera is warm, stylish, and relaxed at the same time – just the right mix for a wonderful evening. We will definitely be back – many thanks to Eyub and the entire team for this fantastic experience! We are looking forward to the event in September!

I rarely visit a restaurant that has impressed me so much on every level. The service was incredibly courteous, warm, and attentive, without being intrusive. You can immediately tell that the work here is done with love. The Turkish dishes were a true masterpiece, prepared with such sensitivity and skill that every bite was a delight. Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection—it couldn't be better. The ambiance also completely won me over: the traditional Turkish decor and the fitting music create an atmosphere that makes you feel completely at home. I will definitely be back and recommend it to anyone seeking genuine hospitality and culinary delights.

Such, such good food! Incredibly hospitable too🥰 We felt very comfortable and were well looked after! We'll definitely be back!

Extremely delicious, great, and super friendly service! Best restaurant! We'll definitely be back soon!

It was simply perfect. The waitresses were excellent. The food and the ambiance were exceptional. Absolutely fantastic, thank you ❤️😍 MashAllah

After a long break, we enjoyed the excellent Turkish cuisine at Aspera several times in quick succession. The cooking here is still of a very high standard. My favorite dishes – the cold appetizer platter and the main course, the stuffed eggplant "Immam Bayildi" – have never been better than at Aspera!

The food is very tasty and the ambience is nice I always like to come back

I'm not a fan of lamb. There are two or three chicken dishes, one of which I chose, but unfortunately it tasted bland. For my starter, I chose zakiki (everything else was out of the question for me), which unfortunately didn't taste fresh, but rather stale. I can't complain about the fact that the Turkish restaurant only serves Turkish wine, but I do think it's a shame. So I stuck with beer. What's absolutely unacceptable, though, is that the restroom was unkempt. The food and drinks, overall, were rather expensive. Parking nearby was a matter of luck.

The food is solid. The service is very good and friendly. The ambiance is okay, but not great. The chairs are very comfortable.

We arrived at the restaurant late. Despite this, the food was incredibly delicious, well-balanced, and there was something for every taste, very traditional. Everything was visibly fresh and tasty. The meat was cooked to perfection. The service was very polite and well-coordinated. You could clearly see the passion the staff put into their work. And you get the feeling that you are welcome. The atmosphere is structured, culturally relevant, and clean.

Super friendly, attentive, and helpful service! We felt welcome and comfortable from start to finish. The food was delicious! Even our dog was welcome to join us without any problems. Best wishes from the other side of Germany, and see you next time :)

We ate there for the first time yesterday with friends and were absolutely thrilled. The food, the culinary journey, was very varied and delicious, and the service was excellent. We received very friendly service. Thank you very much for that.

We went there for the first time yesterday with friends and were very satisfied. The food was delicious, the atmosphere pleasant, and the staff friendly and attentive. We'd love to come back!

Was für ein toller Abend im Aspera in Hannover! Das Essen ist echt etwas Besonderes – türkische Küche, die mit viel Liebe gemacht wird. Ich hatte das Aspera Special mit Hähnchenspieß, geräucherten Auberginen und einem Hauch Aprikose – so eine geniale Kombination, die hab ich so noch nie gegessen! Auch der Karışık Izgara Grillteller war super lecker, das Fleisch perfekt gewürzt und das gegrillte Gemüse richtig frisch. Alles ist schön angerichtet und schmeckt, als käme es direkt aus einem Istanbuler Restaurant. Der Service war einfach klasse! Das Team ist total freundlich, aufmerksam und sorgt für eine richtig warme Atmosphäre – man fühlt sich sofort willkommen.

Letzten Samstagabend war ich mit meiner Familie in diesem Restaurant – und es war eine absolute Enttäuschung. Schon die Wartezeit auf unser Essen war eine Frechheit. Als es dann endlich kam, war es kalt. Nicht lauwarm – wirklich kalt. Die Bedienung? Unfreundlich, überfordert und kaum verständlich. Auf unsere berechtigte Kritik wurde patzig reagiert, als wären wir das Problem. Der krönende Abschluss kam beim Bezahlen: Kartenzahlung mal wieder nicht möglich – angeblich, weil das Gerät „runtergefallen“ sei. Das Kuriose? Genau denselben „Zufall“ haben auch schon Freunde von mir bei ihrem Besuch dort erlebt. Sehr fragwürdig. Fazit: Wer Wert auf warmes Essen, höflichen Service und eine reibungslose Bezahlung legt, sollte um dieses Restaurant einen großen Bogen machen. Ich jedenfalls komme garantiert nie wieder.

We found the simply but comfortably furnished Aspera to be very comfortable and run with passion. The staff was consistently friendly and attentive. We were particularly impressed by the great starters and main courses. Everyone enjoyed it very much. The dishes were beautifully prepared and the taste was simply fantastic! We had plenty of time to chat during the starter and weren't rushed into the main course. We haven't had an experience like this for a long time and we will definitely come back! Many thanks to the entire team!

The food was simply outstanding! The ingredients were fresh, perfectly balanced and prepared with great attention to detail. I was particularly impressed with the main course, tender meat, wonderfully seasoned and cooked to perfection. The side dishes were also creative and tasty. The service was friendly and attentive, the atmosphere cozy and inviting. Overall, a completely successful culinary experience. I'll definitely be back!

Very tasty food, wonderfully grilled, well prepared and served. The staff is very friendly and a good recommendation for anyone who likes Mediterranean food.

Pleasant atmosphere Owner and staff very nice and friendly The selection was also very good and tasted very good. I would recommend it. Kind regards Musti

Very tasty restaurant. Good location. Friendly staff. I always enjoy going there! Update March 23, 2025: I was there again and it's still great!

I don't usually do Google reviews, but this time I just had to share my excitement! We went to Iftar with friends at the Aspera Restaurant and I can say with certainty: I have never eaten such excellent food in Hanover! From starters to dessert, every dish was a masterpiece. The quality of the ingredients, the perfect preparation and the incomparable taste impressed us all. I was particularly impressed by the authenticity of Turkish cuisine at the highest level, combined with a modern, elegant touch. The ambience? High class! A stylish interior, a warm atmosphere and service that is second to none. The staff was attentive, professional and at the same time warm - we felt completely at home. The Aspera Restaurant sets new standards in Hanover. Anyone who values ​​first-class food, a luxurious ambience and perfect service cannot ignore this restaurant. Absolute recommendation – 10/10! We'll definitely be back!

At first we were served in a friendly manner, but once we had our drinks no one was seen in the courtyard. After 2 hours of waiting, the food was served without comment. The suggestion that a starter was still missing was accepted with a shrug. In terms of taste, the dishes were okay, but nothing special and did not represent a good price/performance ratio. Overall rather disappointing.

Super tasty and great ambience, I don't go to Hanover often, but I eat there every time

Waited almost 2 hours for the food. Absolutely unfriendly staff. Unprofessional to the point of no longer possible. Only focused on making money. You have to remind and beg 4 to 5 times for the food you ordered. Never again because there you are just a number...

Here there is no “show” to attract guests, but the focus is entirely on the food, and you can taste it too. The service is very accommodating and the chefs are passionate about what they do. If you want to eat a kebab here you won't find one. Because on the menu there are only traditional Turkish dishes, all of which are thoroughly recommended. For me, by far the best Turkish restaurant in Hanover.

A lovely evening with good food and very friendly service. We'll definitely be back 😋

We liked it very much. The menu tasted excellent.

I was there to break my fast and waited about 2 hours for the main course. The food was still tasty but the service was catastrophic. If I arrive an hour before breaking the fast and order, I expect the food to arrive on time. Nevertheless, I had to wait 1 hour for the main course, so I waited a total of 2 hours. Not recommended unless you are very patient.

We had a lovely evening at Aspera! The atmosphere is stylish and cozy, the service is extremely attentive and friendly. The menu offers a great selection and every dish was a delight - fresh and perfectly seasoned. As a main course, I particularly recommend “Ali Nazik” - I order it every time!

We went to iftar dinner as a family one evening and encountered service that had nothing to do with what was written in the iftar menu and the visual.

Mein Freund hat mich mit dem Valentinstags-Day überrascht und hat einen Tisch für 2 Personen reserviert. An dem Abend war auch Live Musik vorhanden, deswegen wollte ich unbedingt auch dorthin. Wir kamen um 19.30 uhr und haben unsere erste Bestellung (nur Getränke) um 20.00 Uhr abgegeben. Die Getränke kamen nach 20 min. Wartezeit. Daraufhin wollte ich noch Wasser bestellen. Als wir gemerkt haben, dass das Wasser nicht kommt, haben wir zwischenzeitlich Cola bestellt. Nach gefühlt 1 Stunde dürfen wir endlich aus dem Fix-Menü etwas bestellen. Nach einer Stunde, wo das Wasser immernoch nicht kam, kam dafür endlich nach einer Stunde die Cola. Grössteils bin ich wirklich wegen der Livemusik dorthin die leider viel zu spät angefangen hat. Nachdem jedes Tisch das Essen bekommen hat. Waren wir relativ zum schluss dran mit dem Essen. Der Service war viel mit dem grossen Tisch an gange, dass wir immer vergessen wurden sind. Mein Tellergericht kam zuerst und dann hies es, was mein Freund nochmal bestellt hätte? Als wir die Bestellung nochmal abgeglichen haben, kam auch nach weiterer stunde Endlich das bestellte Wasser. So sassen wir mit 3 verschiedenen Getränken jeweils und mit einem also mein Gericht gegenüber. Unser Ziel des Abends war ZUSAMMEN ZU ESSEN. Nach 5 min. kam eine andere Kellnerin entschuldigte sich dafür und fragte nochmal nach was mein Freund bestellt hätte. Nach 15 min kam der erste kellner und hat ebenfalls nachgefragt. So langsam wurde ich ungeduldig und das hatte mir man auch angesehen. Sein Essen kam einfach 20 min später und meik essen, weil ich SELBSTVERSTÄNDLICH gewartet habe, weil wir ZUSAMMEN. Essen wollten, war KALT. Ich habe drauf hingewiesen dass mein essen in der Zwischenzeit kalt geworden ist, ob man das erwärmen kann. Da hies es nein, tut mit leid. Ich war baff. Ich hab an den Abend gefühlt nichts gegessen. Man sagte uns wir verrechnen das später mit einen rabatt. Ok, dachten wir uns. Zwar wurde uns noch ein Getränk außerhaus geschenkt, aber nach so vielen Getränken, brachte, dies auch nichts. Am Ende beim Zahlen, mussten wir die volle Summe zahlen, wo ich einfach schockiert war. Es wurde 160€ dafür verlangt, für ein essen was wir nicht geniessen konnten. Fazit: ich bin mit leeren Magen und enttäuscht nachhause. Schade, dass man sich auf etwas so freut, und am ende so enttäuscht rauskommt. Es wäre kein Meisterwerk dass essen wieder zu erwärmen. Ich habe dieses Restaurant immer weiter empfohlen, da ich selbst in einem Hotel arbeite, wo viele Gäste nach Restaurants fragen, die gut sind. Dies werde ich in Zukunft nicht mehr erwähnen leider.

Wir sind gerne im Aspera. Seit unserem ersten Besuch hier, kommen wir jedes Mal gerne hierher. Das Angebot der Speisekarte ist vielfältig und gut durchdacht. Die Vorspeisen, egal ob warm oder kalt, sind alle sehr lecker und deswegen empfiehlt sich eine der gemischten Platten. Bei den Hauptspeisen hat uns bis jetzt alles hervorragend geschmeckt. Heute hatten wir unter anderem die gemischte Grillplatte. Alles war wunderbar. Der Service war auch freundlich und top. Wir empfehlen das Apsera sehr gerne weiter!

The food was a bit limited but quite good. The taste was right. Selection was excellent. I can't say anything about the price, I was invited. Definitely not my last visit. See you soon.

Everything was great here - very good food and super friendly people!

If there are four of you, you should definitely choose the “Trip through Turkey”. So you can try out various dishes.

Nice restaurant.. highly recommended

Restaurant with a very nice atmosphere. We really liked the comfortable chairs at the tables. First class service, very friendly and always attentive. The food was excellent, we had "Sultan's Food" and the "Grill Plate" as main courses. I also recommend enjoying a raki. This is served very nicely here in an ice-cold cup (photo).

I recently visited the restaurant and was completely impressed. As soon as you enter you feel welcome, the atmosphere is cozy and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. I was particularly impressed by the food. The dishes were freshly prepared and tasted excellent. The meze and meat dishes in particular were fantastic. The portions are generous and you can tell that great emphasis is placed on quality here. The price-performance ratio is also absolutely good. The price is more than fair for the quality and size of the portions. I can recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants top-notch Turkish cuisine. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

This restaurant is a true dream and can absolutely be recommended! The ambience and service are simply incredible – we will definitely be back. I can particularly recommend the lamb fillet!

Based on a recommendation, we visited the restaurant for the first time on New Year's Eve. The dishes of lamb chops and Ali Nazik with salad and a cold starter understandably came a little late. Since I know original Turkish dishes, I found our dishes to be very unseasoned, unfinished, not plentiful, and carelessly prepared. E.g. Ali Nazik's dish lacked a touch of garlic and melted butter. I was previously unfamiliar with raw tomato slices. We were promptly asked to leave our table without dessert or a drink because the next guests wanted to use their reservation. This type of management was unknown to me until then. Luckily WE had already finished eating. The organization was very bad. I will definitely not visit this restaurant again nor recommend it to others.

We were a larger group on New Year's Eve and had a timeslot from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Since we were only able to go into the restaurant at 7 p.m. because the operator miscalculated the restaurant capacity, the group was separated to different tables. While one part was served quickly, the sad-looking, confused service staff were unable to serve the second part of the group. So it happened as it had to happen: 1.5 hours after the actual reservation, one part got the first sip of water, while the other was already in the middle of the main course. The food itself tasted good, but considering the prices it wasn't okay. All in all, a failed evening.

Very tasty food, especially the starters. Very nice service, highly recommended!

We had dinner there with friends 3 days ago. The service was really very good, everyone was still really nice despite the stress (all tables were occupied)! The food was also good, the only thing I might wish was different the next time is the bread. It was tasty, but could have been served warm. And another thing, they could have offered rice too. But because everything else was perfect and super nice, there are no points deducted👌🏼

Everything was great, I can only recommend it. Very tasty food and everyone was very nice and friendly. Rosse best wishes to her, she was super nice 👌

small, fine restaurant. We all found something delicious to eat. the staff did a great job.

The food was very good, you can't really say anything about it. There is a small detail of the house in advance, which I always find very attentive. The biggest problem - the organization and the service. We waited in the entrance area for about 7 minutes - the gentleman who brings the guests to the tables calmly prepared drinks and only brought us to the table when we spoke to him. We waited 20 minutes at the table for the card (the QR code on the table didn't work). We hadn't been in the restaurant for quite an hour when our food arrived, which is absolutely fine. The drinks came 5 minutes AFTER the meal. The service isn't unfriendly, but it's not friendly either. Except for one waitress, no one was smiling and most of them looked like it was their first day at work. It's a shame because the food is really good.

Mega. Rarely eaten so well. Best service. Top grade. A successful evening. You have to experience it.

Everything was very tasty and well served☺️

Highly recommended. We felt comfortable. The food, ambience and service great. We'd love to come back.

Nice cozy atmosphere and great service. The food was also very tasty. We had an Aspera grill plate and Manti. Meat was perfectly grilled and perfectly seasoned. Definitely worth a visit.

Delicious food. However, portions too small. Prices rather high.

Very nice Turkish restaurant with very tasty food

Overall, our summer company party in the Aspera restaurant was a success. The ambience was stylish and provided the perfect setting for our event. The short-term reservation for our party and the menu selection went smoothly. The food was very tasty, but unfortunately not presented appropriately. Unfortunately, the service left something to be desired. The staff were friendly, but sometimes difficult to reach and it sometimes took a long time for orders to be taken or served, even though the menu was agreed upon in advance. Nevertheless, we had a nice evening and would still recommend Aspera for smaller groups. Team YOUR LEARNING CENTER

A really great restaurant! It was my first time there and I had such a great experience - the service was really friendly and you could feel the hospitality here! There were so many little things at the expense of the house, you can't beat it! Very tasty dishes from the clay oven, even the next day the meat was still super tender! This is really a great place to go out. Cash only. There is street parking, no dedicated parking. The service was super friendly and always present from start to finish.

Since we were curious about the meat types, we asked for a mixed grill. Everything was perfect, the meat was high quality and delicious. Beyti kebabs were great. The appetizers were also amazing. Other food etc everything was very nice. I can say that the king of taverns or Turkish restaurant culture is here. Thank you for your effort 👏👏

Definitely worth a visit, very tasty and great service

Very friendly waiters, the food was delicious. Simply very good :)

We ordered a starter platter with cold and warm starters - it was extremely tasty. Two main courses followed: chicken skewers and minced lamb skewers. That was also very tasty. The restaurant is beautifully decorated inside and there is also a lovingly designed inner courtyard. The service is very nice and accommodating.

The restaurant has an attractive interior and super nice and considerate staff. The menu has a large selection of starters, main courses and desserts for everyone. Unfortunately there is only a small selection of open wines, the management should make an improvement here.

We tested the restaurant on the recommendation of our children/young adults. We were completely thrilled and the food was delicious. Maybe a little too much meat for me, as I usually eat less meat. The price is higher because of the location?!

Good food, everything fresh. Friendly service 😊

We landed here for the first time via the Schlemmerblock. The service was very attentive. Food very. Prices are high but it's worth the money. Will definitely come back.

Very pleasant atmosphere, delicious food and super friendly staff We'd love to come back.

Delicious food, great attentive, nice service

Very nice restaurant with good food.

Very tasty food with a good vegetarian selection. It is very beautiful in the courtyard!

Very good Turkish with a European atmosphere

Very tasty, value for money totally good Staff very polite and accommodating.

Super delicious food🫶🏻 The salmon with lime and chili is an absolute recommendation!

It was very nice and pleasant. We were received and served very friendly. It was also very tasty

Found it and was very pleasantly surprised. Clear recommendation.

The meat had a bad aftertaste and smelled disgusting. Despite a complaint and the direct return of the food, it was charged in full. The service wasn't unfriendly, but it didn't smile either. She seemed annoyed and overwhelmed. Were in the store for the first and last time. Very unfortunate.

Ambience The restaurant is charming and elegant at the same time. The tables are generously spaced so you don't feel cramped. Subtle music in the background contributes to the relaxed atmosphere and the staff's friendliness and professionalism ensure that you feel completely at home. Service: The service was impeccable. Our server was attentive without being pushy, and his recommendations were top notch. He took the time to explain the special features of the dishes and helped us find the perfect wine pairing. Eat: The food was simply excellent. We started with a cold starter, which included a delicious selection of Turkish classics such as zaziki, humus or kisir For the main course I chose the lamb chop, which was cooked perfectly. The meat was tender and juicy, and the rich sauce complemented it perfectly. My companion chose the Manti dish. To finish, we treated ourselves to a baklava with ice cream that was light yet full of flavor - the perfect end to a great meal. Price-performance ratio: The prices at Aspera are absolutely reasonable given the quality of the food and service. You definitely get more than you pay for and every penny is well spent. Conclusion: The Aspera is a true gem. It combines first-class cuisine, excellent service and a wonderful ambience to create an unforgettable overall experience. I can recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to enjoy a special evening. You won't be disappointed here!

A really great restaurant, food and great service

Köftes were inedible and smelled. Service took a long time, even for a coffee you wait 20 minutes

Unfortunately the food was very bad, the meatballs were inedible, smelled, were still raw on the inside and the plates were sent back. Then we wanted to drink Turkish coffee, we waited 20 minutes and got over-sweetened coffee that was also sent back. But we had to pay for everything, neither for the food that we didn't eat The coffee was a disgrace!!!!!The service alone wasn't enough and we had to wait a long time for everything!!

We were there for the first time. The food was tasty, but the price was slightly higher. Overall good. You could download the menu using the QR code, take part in a wheel of fortune and win something (glass of wine, ayran, dessert, etc.). In itself a very nice idea and nice attention. But the bad aftertaste was that you only received this gift if you also submitted a review. This was also checked immediately. If the good rating was given, then the gift came. Unfortunately not nice.

We have been coming here for many years and eat the lamb chops and the grill plate. Both are excellent! We can also only recommend the garlic prawns! 12 Points for Aspera!
