Restaurant Side in Bochum

Very very friendly service, super cozy and great food! ❤️

Very tasty food in a nice atmosphere with good service. Our visit was well rounded!

Very small portions but otherwise very tasty, nice service

This was the first time I had real Turkish food and I have to say it was very 😋. The only thing I found very expensive were the drinks: 0.5 liters of cola for €6.50 isn't without it. But otherwise everything was very good, so we'll definitely come back again.

Super tasty for years, great service and reasonable prices.

A very nice restaurant. The atmosphere is very nice, you think you are in Turkey. Old masonry and lamps very beautiful. Service was very nice and friendly. It was the first time I ate Turkish food in a Turkish restaurant, otherwise only Bufeet on vacation. The food there was awesome. Mega delicious! We can only recommend it. You get a small starter with your order and either tea or schnapps as a nightcap. Super nice gesture and very friendly staff. It's always a pleasure to come back. ;) :)

Yesterday we had another meal at the Side restaurant. And we continue to be very enthusiastic. Great quality of food, very friendly staff. The prices are reasonable. We will be back. Promised !!!

Very nice restaurant! Very friendly and nice staff. Food not only looks good, it also tastes very good 👍. Were there for the first time but definitely not the last time!!

Very nice staff, the food was very good. We will come again

Went there yesterday by chance and we were absolutely thrilled. Be it the food or the service. The lady was very nice and considerate. We would like to go there again at any time.

It was so delicious, we'll be back

The food was extremely good! Unfortunately there are deductions for the absolutely poor, inattentive and unfriendly service!!!

We go out to eat very often. We wanted to enjoy a nice evening at Side (50th birthday)! We were there 20 years ago and one of us was even a regular guest. We had lost sight of it when we moved and now we wanted to discover it again when we returned to Bochum. A table for 4 was reserved by phone. It was 30 C outside and rain was forecast. We would have liked to sit inside, but the waiter told us that inside was closed. I would have liked to have been informed when booking. The order was taken without a smile, even though all 4 of us ordered nicely with smiles. Questions about the dishes were answered unfriendly. Then a strong wind picked up, sending leaves flying into our drinks and appetizers. Our hair and clothes were full of dried flowers. All the other tables had already finished their main course. We asked several times if we could go in. We were only able to get in when the rain started. Inside we were served by an even more unfriendly waiter. The food wasn't good. Dry, tasteless meat, limp fries and about 15 flies at our table. We weren't noticed at all during the meal. Ordering drinks is therefore impossible. We left immediately after paying. Never again!!!!! For the first time in my life I didn't tip. P. S. The prices on the homepage are not correct. My dish was €5 more expensive.

Very tasty food, good portions, we sat outside, it was busy so the service was a bit busy, but overall it was okay

Food is very good. Salads and side dishes fresh and well seasoned. meat juicy and well seasoned. Great flatbread and kebab bread. Is our regular restaurant for Turkish food.

Very good cuisine! We were there with a voucher book, but we'd love to come back!

We were there for the first time today. Very nice outdoor area. We really enjoyed the food, good service. There were only discrepancies when paying because of the voucher book, but they were quickly resolved. We will definitely come back again!

Highly recommended. We found it comfortable. We really enjoyed the food and the prices were completely reasonable.

Always good. Very nice beer garden behind the house.

Nice restaurant. Large beer garden. Also sat outside in the summer. Prices are manageable, but I have to give some tips. Please place the 4 different sauces (meze) individually in a separate bowl. Everything came on a plate. Unfortunately the flatbread wasn't fresh either. Cold and old. The meat tasted like nothing. Absolutely no grilled taste. This is not a grill (Izgara) if you judge by taste. Drinks Cola Fanta and Co are poured from liter bottles into glasses. A pity. Please get real drinks. Some drinks are diluted with Lidl mineral water. So either lower the price if you do that or have real drinks delivered. That doesn't work. Mostly German guests. You could get a lot more out of the garden. I wouldn't come again.

Went there briefly in the evening and took a drink with us. According to the advertisement, 2.80. I was charged 4.00 euros. The kitchen was closed at 10 p.m. I would have liked to test the store, but not if I'm going to be so messed up.

Good cozy Turkish restaurant, very tasty food, good service and everyone was friendly, we will definitely be back.

Went there by chance and ordered a starter and a dish for 2 people and a dessert. All in all, it was filling, tasty and flavorful. The service was very attentive and courteous. Would definitely come back.

We “had to” eat in the beer garden. It was Friday and very well attended. We ordered the SIDE grill plate. My wife had bread and yogurt garlic sauce and I had fries and yogurt garlic sauce. Everything was very tasty, especially the small salad. One complaint would be that the bread was basically in the sauce and therefore nothing was crispy anymore. The waitress said next time you would like to have the sauce extra. The amount of grilled plates was enough for us, but we are older people, so there could have been a little more. There was very little kebab meat on the plate. Conclusion beer garden, food, service top.

We enjoyed the food very much, the portions were very generous and the price-performance ratio was perfect. We were served quickly, service was very attentive. At the end there was tea on the house. Nicely furnished and large outdoor area, would love to come back.

Delicious food, friendly service, nice beer garden. Gladly again...

Very honest Turkish food in a great atmosphere, the staff is very accommodating. The store is almost always full, no matter how busy it is, you never have to wait long. We will be back definitely

The food was very tasty, the price was very good and the portions were good too

It was once again very tasty and the service was great as always, prices were great.

Very tasty food. We got our food brought to the table exceptionally quickly and the portions were really generous.

Unfortunately it wasn't tasty at all. And it reminded me of our dog’s dog food. Only in bad. At least what I ate. It was worth a try, but not again. (Tzatziki were very tasty).

We were surprised that you can get such good food for so little money.

We had a lovely evening with very tasty food. An all-round great evening with very nice service.

Plenty of choice, the food was delicious and the staff was absolutely friendly, we'll be back

Delicious Turkish cuisine with a wide variety of dishes. Friendly staff. However, parking spaces are in short supply.

We often go out to eat regularly, in different restaurants of different nationalities...whether Turkish, Greek, Italian or Spanish cuisine. The decisive factor was the online menu that fish was offered. When we arrived, we were quickly assigned a table, unfortunately it took a while until someone came and realized that there was no fish on the menu! That's absolutely not possible, you can't offer a fish menu online and on site we get the message...it's no longer worth it. What we ate was okay, but we don't need it again. There are better...

Very perfect, thank you very much

Most of us didn't like the food that much

A nice shop with delicious food and very good service. The store is almost always full, so always reserve in advance. No matter how crowded it is, you never have to wait long. I often recommend the restaurant 👍🏻

Always delicious... then as now, good quality, fair prices, nice service...

Super tasty food always very, very good quality. I've enjoyed eating there for years. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. It's worth a visit.

The food is always very tasty 😋, and the staff is always super friendly. We always enjoy coming there.

Very cozy, friendly atmosphere. The food is delicious and you feel very comfortable

It was the best Turkish food I have ever eaten. We went there for the first time with the voucher booklet and were thrilled! The service was very, very polite and nice. Furnishings are rustic but authentic. We felt like we were on vacation. We will definitely come back and can recommend it to everyone with a clear conscience.

I've eaten Turkish food several times. And I also had the opportunity to eat traditional Turkish food through many Turkish friends. That's why I would like to say that the quality of the food is good and the taste is OK. But for what I get it's too expensive and the ambience reminds me of a good "chip shop" (that's not meant in a bad way) but unfortunately the service doesn't suit me and I won't be coming back.

The only place to go for dinner in this region. First of all, the atmosphere and lighting are great. There is no problem with the service. All employees are very attentive to each table. Food is a complete Turkish culture. Appetizers are fresh and delicious. We will definitely come again and recommend.

Everything was great, generous portions at normal restaurant prices. The waiters were a bit... confused. But the store was also completely full and it was a Saturday evening. Otherwise recommended

Very cozy restaurant with great food at great prices. Mega!

We love the down-to-earth and authentic Turkish cuisine and the very friendly service staff. Reservations are always recommended - the restaurant is always very busy.

Good Turkish cuisine has been a hit for decades Always well attended. The guest is king here.

Ate very tasty. Price-performance ratio is also right.

We ate there for the first time yesterday with Schlemmerblock. The food was averagely good. Not greasy. Whether you want to or not, when you take part in the Schlemnerblock you shouldn't try to rip people off. You can see it in the photo. It doesn't work at all.

We were there on Saturday evening with the Kulinaris Card and had reserved in advance. Luckily, because the restaurant was full. The staff was attentive and friendly and special requests were accommodated. Thank you for a nice evening in Essen

Food tastes good! Drinks are rarely requested and then only served incorrectly! Ambiance: a bit like a regular chip shop! Little ventilation, i.e. windows are not opened if it is very warm in the room, but could be tilted! Unfortunately the service seems very inattentive Smiling seems fake!

Average Turkish cuisine, not greasy, food tasty, portions okay. Staff is like that, unfortunately one woman obviously didn't have her best day, the others were very nice. Toilet is very clean, but more of an 80s style. Overall okay, but it doesn't have to happen again for us.

This restaurant has been a constant for decades. Update 04.2024: It was another taste revelation. Quality, taste, prices are still very good and such friendly hosts.

I can't say anything negative. The food was very tasty and the service was really friendly. I would advise making a reservation. A visit is a must👍

The food was, as always, very good. However, the tables are extremely close together, very loud and hardly any privacy or conversations are possible. A pity. Motto: Eat a quick meal and get out again.

Rustic and comfortable, tasty and very good quality food, fair prices,

Everything was great! Super tasty, nice people, great atmosphere!

Incredibly delicious food, large portions, great service. We had a great evening and would love to come back. Thank you!

The restaurant immediately gave a nice Istanbul feeling and you thought you were on holiday in Turkey. Super tasty, freshly prepared food. Prices are reasonable and the service is efficient and super friendly. We'd love to come back!

Friendly service and delicious food

Great cuisine, the food never disappoints. In summer you can sit comfortably outside, there are four parking spaces on site, otherwise you have to see what parking options you can find on the street. No long waiting times and friendly service.

Very honest Turkish food in a great atmosphere, generous portions, friendly staff, reasonable prices. Parking at the house and on the street is free.

Unbelievable good! Food, price-performance and service are absolutely consistent. If you want to enjoy a nice and cozy evening with friends and/or family, you should go here

Very friendly, courteous, visitor-oriented staff with always a smile and a pleasant encounter. Starters and main courses exceeded our expectations!! It tasted great!!! Great value for money. Ambience matches food and Turkish cuisine. We were very satisfied with everything. Recommendation.

The food was excellent. The service was extremely courteous, we asked for some bread, it was brought to us as quickly as possible and was still fresh out of the oven. The price is also great.

Price performance fits :) you sit comfortably and the food is super tasty

The Kulinaris card was accepted during the visit; Unfortunately, this meant that every little thing was added to the bill: in addition to the bowl of extra rice and the garlic sauce, there was even the traditional Turkish tea in small glasses. Oriental hospitality usually looks a little different. The portions were also rather small and tasted mediocre. The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't convincing either. Some of the grilled meat was quite tough, although it looked visually appealing. Few parking spaces indicate parking space in the area. A mixed experience. We won't be coming back. A pity!

We have been regular guests at Side for many years and are always satisfied. Freshly prepared food, high quality food and great service. What is very customer-friendly is that there are no days off!

Well-attended restaurant as early as 5 p.m. Our food tasted very good. No long waiting times for food either. Despite the full house, the service occasionally had a joke on its face. We felt comfortable and will be back.

A restaurant that I have known for about 30 years. Time stopped there. On the one hand, that's nice because the quality of the food has remained just as good as the friendly service, but on the other hand, it's not so nice because, for example, the ambience with the wall arches really needs a refresh. There has also been nothing new on the menu since my first visit. Apart from the prices, nothing has changed. If I knew that there was a small, changing special menu, that would be a reason for me to go back more often. But that's how it remains with the well-known favorite food (chicken grill skewer), every now and then. And it still tastes great :). Starters also delicious, e.g. Antep Ezmesi, spicy paste.

I wanted to eat there today with my girlfriend and two children, when we arrived there were 2 waitresses in front of the door smoking. When I went in I asked if you had to make a reservation here or if you could just go and eat because there was nothing helpful about it on the internet found. Both waitresses looked at each other and neither gave an answer, after a moment's hesitation they said they had to go check. (As if you've only been working there since today) We followed the lady and she told us we could sit there for 2 hours if we ordered something quickly, which we did. And we ordered something well and reordered again and again. Exactly after 1 and 45 minutes the lady stood at our table and asked if she could settle the bill. And even if more guests had come, there were enough tables available. For us it was the first and last visit there, apart from the unfriendly staff, the ambience and the food were not worth mentioning. There are much better restaurants there.

Good Turkish cuisine. Tasty, good portions, good value for money.

Very cozy and top hospitality. Our two dogs were also warmly let in. Very good Turkish cuisine. We will be back .

Great family-run restaurant 👍food very tasty and very tasty 👍absolute recommendation 👍

Very tasty Turkish food. I can really recommend this restaurant.

Ich habe eine Frage, z.b. 45b Tavuk Izgara 12,50 Hähnchenbrustfilet mit Reis, gemischtem Gemüse und Salat. Ist das der aktuelle Preis oder wo findet man die neue Speisekarte???

Sehr leckere Vorspeisen & Hauptgerichte in rustikal traditioneller Atmosphäre.

Schönes Ambiente und leckeres Essen!

Spitzenklasse - wenn nicht das Parkplatzproblem an der Hauptstraße wäre.

Wir sind als Familie vor drei Stunden im Side essen gewesen. Wir hatten Vorspeise und drei verschiedene Gerichte. Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr bemüht und freundlich. Fachlich aber leider nicht qualifiziert.Wir hatten Vorspeise und drei verschiedene Gerichte. Das Essen und auch die Getränke kamen sehr schnell. Flasche Wein einfach auf den Tisch gestellt, ohne Probe.Das Hauptgericht kam ohne das die Vorspeise abgeräumt wurde.Geht eigentlich nicht.Das Hauptgericht war nicht so gute Qualität, der Reis wurde von uns ausgetauscht.Brot mit Joghurt Knoblauchsosse.Eine Pampe.Tut uns leid, auch der Salat war in Sosse ertränkt.Wer es mag. Wir wurden nach Tee oder Raki gefragt, dass war sehr nett,konnte aber alles nicht mehr rauslassen.Preiss und Leistung stimmen nicht überein. Schade

Ein tolles echtes türkisches Restaurant. Hier gibt es leckere Backofengerichte und andere frische Tellergerichte. Der Salat ist ein Traum. Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend und die Chefin begrüßt alle persönlich!

Sehr leckeres Essen, freundliche Bedienung, kann ich nur empfehlen

Es war ein schöner Abend, das Essen war lecker, das Personal war hervorragend. Eines hat niemand an unserem Tisch verstanden. Laut Karte kosten Pommes oder Reis gleich viel. Ersetzt man aber Pommes durch Reis, wird ein Esslöffel voll Gemüse, wenn es zum Gericht gehört, gestrichen.

Wir sind dort nachmittags eingekehrt. Wir waren mit die einzigen Gäste. Der Service war schnell und freundlich und das Essen kam schnell. Die Portionen sind gut und die Preise fair! Das Ambiente ist ok.

Leckeres Essen engiertes Pesonal

Immer wieder lecker und einfach schön

Super leckeres Essen! Sehr zu empfehlen!

Das Essen schmeckt,ist aber nichts besonderes!

Wir waren zum Essen eingeladen, mit Geduld und etwas Glück findet man einen Parkplatz. Die Karte ist sehr umfangreich, was uns die Entscheidung nicht leicht gemacht hat. Hilfreicher war auch nicht die Bedienung , die bereits nach 5 Minuten die Bestellung aufnehmen wollte und dann im selben Takt immer wieder erschien. Alkoholfreies Radler wird zum selber mischen gebracht. Kann man machen, dann bitte aber aus 2 Flaschen zum mischen und nicht mit einem Glas Sprite. Die Vorspeise war bis zur Unkenntlichkeit in Joghurt ertränkt, das Fladenbrot dazu zäh. Das Hauptgericht war sehr stark mit Knoblauch und Minze gewürzt, mein Flesch war gut gegrillt von anderen habe ich allerdings auch hier gehört, dass es teilweise zäh war. Die Portionsgrößen sind leider sehr klein für die aufgerufenen Preise. Vier von acht Leuten fanden es nicht lecker, zudem war der Tisch für die gebuchte Personenzahl viel zu klein. Leider insgesamt enttäuschend!

Es war ein schöner Abend, die Bedienung war sehr nett und ich habe mich wirklich willkommen gefühlt. Ich werde jetzt öfter vorbei kommen und die Speisekarte durchprobieren.

Die Qualität der Speisen entspricht leider nicht den Erwartungen. Die Gerichte wirken lieblos zubereitet und geschmacklich wenig ansprechend. Es fehlt an Frische und Raffinesse, was das Gesamterlebnis beeinträchtigt. Verbesserungen in der Zubereitung und Auswahl der Zutaten könnten die kulinarische Erfahrung erheblich steigern. Ja

Angenehme Atmosphäre, lecker und passende Preise. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Mein erster Besuch im Restaurant und ich bin wirklich begeistert. Die Speisen sind super lecker und frisch. Der Service super aufmerksam. Das Ambiente sehr angenehm. Wir kommen definitiv wieder :)

Es war wieder einmal ein schöner Abend mit superleckerem Essen👍👍👍

Ein sehr gut besuchtes Restaurant. Sehr leckerere Grillplatte. Wir haben uns dort, sehr wohl gefühlt.

Leckeres Essen, freundlicher Service. Nur zu empfehlen @

Immer wieder lecker. Waren schon sehr oft hier und sind jedesmal begeistert. Qualität und Preis sehr gut.
