Restaurant Erbil in Freiburg im Breisgau

So, really, you should give it one star. Yes, five are more than deserved. But if you keep going like this—so friendly, so delicious, and with such good value for money—you'll have to plan an extra half hour because so many people come. 😍😍 The best kebab and yufka in Germany.

Super delicious! Very friendly! Everything was great!

What do you wish more? Nicest place to eat like you're in Mosul. Really delicious and everything is fresh. Friendly staff and a friendly owner. Well come again for that heavenly food.

One of the best kebabs in Freiburg!

Update: Erbil is drowning in stress. When the place is full, everything just rushes. We've been there twice to pick up. It was done wrong each time. Things (ingredients) are just thrown on, and instructions are ignored. No love. Yufka is no longer rolled, but squashed together. We won't be coming back. That used to be: Doner is really delicious. Fresh meat, prepared with fresh lemon. Staff are extremely friendly and the ambiance is nice. A truly nice addition.

A wonderful discovery. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, and the quality and quantity of the ingredients are excellent. The prices are affordable! The staff is lovely! I 100% recommend this restaurant.

The food was very, very good and freshly prepared. The ayran was also very tasty 😋 There is a good selection of vegetarian meals. The staff was very friendly. The restaurant is highly recommended.

Friendly restaurant with a warm welcome, very generous dishes, fresh produce, ideal for meat lovers but plenty of options for vegetarians. Varied menu. Homemade bread and galette. Very good value for money!

Amazing food! Amazing service! Best kebab I've ever eaten! Five stars!!!!

The venue is good and the food is delicious

Erbil has established itself as our favorite kebab restaurant. We often drive from the city center to Rieselfeld in the evenings just to eat here – and it's worth it every time! The food is consistently delicious and always beautifully presented. The portions are generous – perfect for those big hunger pangs after a workout. If you're a little peckish, it's usually enough to share something. The prices are absolutely fair, both in terms of quality and quantity. The homemade ayran is a real highlight: nicely salty and just the thing after strenuous summer activities. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and has always been busy. Larger groups should definitely make reservations. Despite this, we've never had to wait long for our food. The staff is always friendly – ​​even during peak times when things get a bit hectic. One small criticism: Unfortunately, the large portions often leave well-filled plates of delicious food left over. Perhaps it would be a good idea to offer smaller portions as well. All in all, we are very satisfied – thank you for the great food, dear Erbil team! See you soon!

I liked it, I haven't eaten anything better in Freiburg

I arrived a few minutes before closing time, and despite that, the staff agreed to prepare my takeaway order with a smile. Really super nice and helpful! I had a pide and a kebab: absolutely excellent, with fresh products and lots of flavor. Honestly, it was so good! A big thank you to the team, I will definitely come back.

Super delicious, super quick to prepare, and very friendly staff. The prices are reasonable to inexpensive for the portion size. I can definitely recommend it.

May 25 Bread cut half open, great to eat, nothing falls out. Crispy and dough not torn. Top grade 1 Mixed well, 3 bites of pure meat at the end 2+ Top ingredients, extremely fresh, meat needs to be roasted a bit more 1- Feb 25 Saturday, 1:30 p.m. Standard doner. Mixing not perfect but good grade 2. Noticeably fresh greens flavor. Grade 1 Veal already cooled, roasted well, taste suffers from the temperature but still good, not too fatty grade 2- Ratio of meat to greens grade 1- Bread crispy, not as salty as previously mentioned. Crumb tears, doner breaks it down easily. Perhaps more moisture was added to the dough during production. Likewise, bread cut too wide (I know it can be filled more easily), suggestion to use pre-mixed if eating straight away. The meat cools down faster when you take it out, which would be counterproductive. Please be more innovative, stand out from the crowd with something like that! Only a grade of 3- for the bread. Last time I went, it was great this time. The service wipes the table upon arrival, exemplary, a grade of 1. Overall, for the first time in a while, not disappointed, as things have obviously improved. Overall grade of 2 to 3, I'll be back soon to determine the trend. 👉 October 2024: My overall grade continues to fall, now only a grade of 3-, with a tendency towards 4+. Today I'm testing the beloved Erbil Standard Doner without cheese again. I've been disappointed several times since my last review in July 2024. It seems to me as if customer reviews aren't taken seriously at all. The staff are increasingly lowering their standards regarding meal preparation and table service. As a guest, you expect newly occupied tables to be wiped down with a damp cloth upon arrival. It's time to return to old virtues. Today, the doner kebab was dripping with sauce; the waiter noticed this at the table and skillfully removed the excess behind the counter. Ideally, the doner kebab should be prepared perfectly the first time, which also includes a good mixing of the ingredients. The last five bites this time consisted only of meat. Poor grade 5. This isn't the first time I've found the bread in need of improvement and rated it. The chef hasn't improved anything since then. Currently, the bread isn't well-suited for overly fatty contents. It could be baked crisper, with a sturdier crust that would prevent the fat from seeping out. Once again, the bread was cut far too wide. This makes eating increasingly difficult, and the contents tend to evaporate with every bite. A lack of initiative, as well as poor quality and organization, lead to a grade of 4+. The meat skewer also seems to have undergone cost-cutting measures. A year ago, barely any fat dripped from the meat. Now, it's a mixture of meat fat and sauce that comes out of the bread. The suggestion for improvement, which would have been the icing on the cake for a perfect kebab experience—cutting the meat by hand—hasn't been implemented yet. The taste is still good, but far from perfect. Grade 2- Overall grade 3-. I'll definitely be back, hoping to be served a better kebab. July 2024: Resting on one's laurels is the conclusion, with an overall grade of 2- April 2024: The overall grade remains at a very good 1-. 👍👍👍 Cutting the meat by hand, as well as consistently mixing the ingredients in the bread, would help improve the rating to a solid 1. (I also had a doner kebab that wasn't mixed so well.) This time, the sauce was top-notch in terms of flavor, distribution, and quantity. The bread was fluffy and freshly baked, and all the ingredients were also very fresh, really top-notch. The layered veal skewer was machine-cut, so the meat didn't soak the bread with grease. Please keep it up👌 December 2023: 95% overall rating

Simply brutally good. Creative menu, beautifully prepared, friendly staff.

Very good food 👍 Delicious meat, fresh vegetables. Good portions 👍💪 I recommend

The kebab was delicious, one of the best I've ever eaten. Very friendly staff.

Very Nice staff & so delicious Food with great portions.

A full five stars from the Far North. It was a culinary delight. I had the yufka with grilled vegetables; every bite was a poem; I haven't had anything this good in a long time. A definite recommendation.

In my opinion, the best kebab I've ever eaten. The meat is simply incredible, and the other ingredients are always fresh. The restaurant is also impressive, with table service, etc.

Good and varied cuisine – also suitable for vegetarians. You sit comfortably in a lovely atmosphere, and the service is super friendly and attentive. Perfect for Rieselfeld!

Highly recommended! I've been there several times now. Everything is always fresh and of extremely high quality. If you like to leave a restaurant feeling full, this is the place for you. Every main course always comes with a soup and a mixed starter. This completely puts the seemingly slightly higher price into perspective. I've also spoken with the chef several times. Everything here is produced in-house and purchased from local greengrocers or butchers.

Very tasty food and always a lot going on.

Erbil's best man. Even as a herbivore, I get my money's worth here, and I don't even mean the veggie doner—the veggie platter is amazing. The staff is very friendly. Even my friends from out of town always want to go to Erbil together.

Was here for the first time. Location and food very nice. Service and staff also friendly. Always happy to come back.

Central location, plentiful and delicious food, fairly clean. Very friendly staff. I'd gladly return.

Simply awesome. This store stands out clearly from others. You just can't beat the freshness either.

Delicious food and very friendly staff. Thanks alot!

5 stars very tasty... the pomegranate seeds in the kebab😍 We'll definitely be back!

Very good restaurant, friendly service, delicious food!

Not recommended for tourists. Nobody speaks in English. We had difficulty making ourselves understood. Otherwise I have had the best doner elsewhere.

We stoped to our way from France to Lithuania when we saw 4,9 in google. It was really good food. Recommend to visit this place. We were happy. And only 7 km from A5.

What ever you order, you won't get it wrong. All the waiters are just too nice. If you are in Freiburg you should stop by and have something to eat. Recommend

This is magic how good they make this food.

I had a chicken kebab. I have to honestly say that it's been a long time since I've had a kebab that even dared to make the meat a little crispier... it was really a welcome change, plus the fact that the kebab is absolutely not dry even without sauce and is juicy right down to the last bit! Top shop

Very tasty food, staff very friendly and very helpful.

Delicious food, large portions.

The employees all do their best and the food is also very good and plentiful. I just find some guests who talk on the phone or play around on their cell phones even while they're eating terrible. Can't you even concentrate on that and the others while eating? In the restaurant, your cell phone should be left off for this conscious time. 🤗

Super tasty! Charcoal grill. Very authentic.

Friendly and very quick service, great selection of veggie + meat dishes. Everything prepared to perfection and very tasty.

Super tasty and large portions. The price/performance ratio is right. You have to reserve a table.

Very tasty and also a very generous portion. It was also an absolute secret tip very quickly

Restaurant Erbils great Rating is well deserved. It is by far the best Döner & Grill in the Freiburg Region

The food is good to sometimes very good. I think the portions of the vegetarian plates are too small for the price. Parking situation very bad in the evening. Prices have been increased but not updated on the website. Staff very friendly.

Whether for business or pleasure - I am simply blown away by this restaurant. No matter what I have ordered so far, I have been 100% convinced. Thank you very much for the great cuisine, attentive service and loving preparation of the respective dishes! Thank you!

Very good kebab made from layered meat (chicken or veal). The other dishes I ate were also great: hummus special and Adana kebab.

Rarely have I had such a good kebab. There is chicken or veal (extra charge €1). Yoghurt sauce has a very pleasant taste and does not dominate the meat. The homemade Ayran is also recommended. A really nice atmosphere, modern and clean. And above all, an extractor hood, you smell like you've been there, not as if you were standing in the kitchen yourself. Definitely recommended.

Food is brutal, ambience is a mix of restaurant and kebab. You will be served at your seat and paid at the cash register. It seems like you can't agree whether you want to be a restaurant or a kebab. But the food is really very good, you definitely have to try it

It was so delicious that I wanted to hug all the employees

Very good food, not the cheapest but very generous portions so good for sharing, nice service also

Really delicious food!!! Great quality!!!

Super delicious food, everyone was very friendly, but also very busy!

Very friendly staff, very tasty food

Everything freshly prepared, very tasty!😍

Very tasty, especially the meat. A little less meat, more cheese and salad, then 5 stars.

I'M ANGRY THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A FRIED UNICORN WITH FART WATER SAUCE!!!! Fun very tasty food friendly service and great atmosphere

We just had dinner at the Erbil kebab restaurant and absolutely loved it! The kebab was fantastic, we were particularly impressed by the super tasty, perfectly seasoned chicken and the home-baked, fresh roll. The Margherita pizza was also baked just right and very tasty. The vegetarian Dürüm scored points with its fresh ingredients and great taste. Friendly staff and fast service make the visit complete. Clear recommendation and deserved 5 stars – we will definitely be back!

It was my first time there and I've already eaten a Lachmacunn plate ten out of ten!

Superb restaurant. The preparation and cooking of the meats are extraordinary. The only downside, no alcohol otherwise the best of the best, the crème de la crème of grills!

My daughter and I spontaneously went to Erbil today after the Freiburg game on the recommendation of a good friend. My daughter had grilled chicken wings, I had the chili cheese kebab plate. The quality was great. My daughter got a Çorba, as well as bread and a plate with hummus, garlic sauce and Ezme. You could tell that the three sauces were made in-house. The service was attentive. The prices correspond to the quality. The ambience was also pleasant, also because no alcohol was served. This means there are no drunks present, which is also a plus point. I'd love to come back here. Full recommendation.

I would advise against ordering Adana Kebab It doesn't taste like lamb but like goat. They brought 10 witnesses to judge that it is actually Adana Kebab. No spices strong like lamb 🐑 goat 🐐 However Pide was good!

A place that not only nourishes the stomach but also the soul. Erbil is more than a restaurant – it is a real experience. As soon as you enter you feel: this is about people. Friendly, attentive, warm – the team lives hospitality without playing it. Everything seems real. And that's exactly what makes the difference. The food? Unforgettable. Fresh, powerful in taste, perfectly seasoned. Whether it's a classic grill plate or vegan highlights - every dish claims to be not just good, but great. The quality of the ingredients and the care taken in preparation reflect real passion. You taste love, you taste respect – for the product, for the guest. Particularly impressive: the generosity. In the portion, in the handling, in the spirit. It's not quantity that counts here, but rather quality - served with the heart. And anyone looking for vegan options will not be fobbed off here, but will be taken seriously. Finally a place that thinks and empathizes. I left full, happy and grateful. And one thing is certain: I'll be back. Not alone - but with people to whom I want to show something special. Five stars is actually not enough. But they are a start. Thank you, Erbil – for a culinary experience that lasts.

A solid kebab with a special taste. The prices on your website are no longer current.

For me, this is the best Turkish restaurant in Freiburg! The dishes are delicious and very generous. The service is excellent, with smiling and welcoming waiters. The dining room is also very pretty. I recommend it.

Eat something before the SC football game. Portions very large, food really good. We'll be back!

Amar Bestermann, he was the only one who treated us and he should be the boss

Excellent food. Excellent in taste. Lovingly prepared. Oriental hospitality at its finest. Highly recommended.

Service was very good. The food was very tasty and came very quickly. Price performance was great. Can only be recommended.

Magnificent never eaten so good

Mega good food! A must in Freiburg

My son (5 years old) says: Friendly staff, delicious kebab, he only has delicious things, the food is delicious points 5!

Friendly people, good food and nice ambience. There is also a crooked picture like you can find in every kebab 😀

I always eat pide here. It's definitely worth it. I highly recommend it.

Came all the way from Hungary just to eat at this restaurant. Worth it.

Delicious food and a very large selection and portions. Pleasant but busy.

Doner top, everything very freshly prepared!

Delicious, large portion, reasonable price, unlimited hot tea, delicious😋

Simply the best in Freiburg. Service, food, everything

Everything is great best man Ilyas 👍

It was a very pleasant stay. Service was super nice and accommodating. I had a grill plate on which some grilled skewers stood out in terms of taste. I can recommend it, gladly again. But please proceed differently when filling the containers. Unfortunately, when I was paying at the counter, I saw that fresh salad had been placed on top of the partially filled salad box. This can affect the freshness of the products on offer.

Food was great. The staff were very friendly and attentive. 👍👍👍👍

I loved the food without a doubt, but the service and atmosphere are a plus point for returning.

Delicious. Super nice team. Thanks. Keep it up.

10/10 best kebab in Freiburg. And ultra nice people

My life finally has meaning. Thank you Erbil ❤️

Food very tasty, staff very friendly and quiet location :)

The food is amazing, clean and delicious

I traveled there from Heilbronn and it was very good, but you definitely have to make a reservation

Huge portions, basic but very tasty food.

Very high quality and very tasty. In my opinion the best kebab in Freiburg. Sometimes very crowded in the evenings but you can always get a table. Only recommended

Delicious.... Service top. Gladly again. THANKS

The best grill house in the region, everything is really right here.

Really a very nice shop, everything very fresh and very friendly owners

Doner kebab is tough, it's a vibe

Extremely delicious food, very nice restaurant, comfortable to eat there. All the employees are really super nice. All dishes are freshly prepared. Large menu to find something for everyone, including many vegan and vegetarian dishes. Absolute recommendation, I'll definitely come back!!!

Doner box with fries is way too overpriced. The fries at the bottom and a bit of veal on top, far too expensive... but also positively delicious.

Super friendly staff And very good food. Highly recommended
