Restaurant Sumak in Wuppertal

The doner kebab is fantastic, you absolutely have to try it!

I was hungry, it was getting late, and with the menu in German, I didn't have the inclination to use Google Translate, and then have to Google what the various dishes were (and whether or not they were vegetarian). As such, I took the easy way out and opted for pizza - which was fine. I wish I had had the time to explore the menu and Turkish food instead. My loss! At least I had seen beforehand that they only took cash, otherwise I'd have been doing the washing up.

We were there Saturday evening. We got a table immediately. The service was quite friendly and helpful with our selection. The yaprak döner meat was absolutely top quality. No tendons or overly fatty pieces. I unfortunately have to deduct one star because the meat was barely seasoned. We had to add quite a bit of salt ourselves. The prices were very reasonable. The ambiance seemed a bit dated. But otherwise, it was well-maintained and, most importantly, clean. Tip: make your own flatbread! Otherwise, a definite recommendation!

The food at Sumak Restaurant in Wuppertal was excellent! The meat, in particular, was incredibly delicious – juicy, perfectly seasoned, and freshly prepared. The service was also very friendly and attentive without being intrusive. We felt completely well taken care of. Highly recommended!

We had a super delicious breakfast. We went spontaneously without a reservation and got a table for two. The food and the delicious Turkish black tea...simply fantastic. We had flatbread/pitta bread and sesame rings. Lots of little antipasti (is that what they're called?), honey, and scrambled eggs each...great selection and plenty of it! The price was amazing too :-) We'll definitely be back! Thank you!!!

This place deserves praise for its sumac döner. I'm sure the other grilled dishes are up to par. Service is very fast, and the staff responds quickly despite the busy schedule. However, a significant shortcoming is the inability to accept credit card payments. This is a significant shortcoming in our current circumstances, and I strongly recommend the restaurant address this issue before losing any more customers.

By far the best Turkish restaurant in Wuppertal. The doner kebab is cooked on a real yaprak spit – not some compressed stuff, but real meat, tender, juicy, and tastes absolutely fantastic. The restaurant is traditionally decorated in an old Wuppertal style, creating an authentic and cozy atmosphere. The portions are large and truly filling. Side dishes are included with every meal at no extra charge: salad, rice, bread, and fries – all fresh and beautifully presented. The ayran is homemade, tastes significantly better than the supermarket kind, and costs the same. Everything is halal, clean, and family-run. I come here regularly because the quality, price, and taste are simply perfect. Highly recommended.

The food is delicious and clean. Their döner kebab is not the factory-made döner kebab you find in Germany. It's real, leaf-based döner kebab. One of the best Turkish restaurants in the Wuppertal area.

Very large and tasty portions. The lamb stir-fry with rice is absolutely delicious. The homemade ayran is very creamy and tasty. The service was exceptionally polite and attentive, and the atmosphere was very cozy. Thank you so much!

Elerize Salik, the food was very nice.

It was very nice, the döner tasted good, it became my favorite restaurant.

We had breakfast here for the first time today – a perfect 10 out of 10! The coffee was a 12+, and the staff was incredibly friendly; we felt warmly welcomed from the very first second. We'd love to come back again! 🤗🤗🤗

The food is nice. I like going there. However, the service quality varies.

Excellent restaurant. Delicious food. We visited with family, and both the kids and adults loved everything. The service and atmosphere weren't particularly memorable. In my opinion, it was closer to a good cafe than a restaurant. But overall, it's decent! The prices are also closer to a cafe than a restaurant. Very reasonable. We went during the day. There were practically no people. I didn't make a reservation. I'd also like to point out the large portions and fresh ingredients. It's located in the city center in a pedestrian area.

The food was absolutely fantastic, especially the lentil soup 😻😻😻

Lentil soup and doner kebab 10/10

Pure rip-off! They charge you for things that are actually included in the price, and any claims are arbitrarily rejected. The staff is very incompetent. I wouldn't recommend them. It was okay until recently, but I'm very disappointed with their services.

Unfortunately, this was the last time...we were completely ripped off. The waitress "explained" the breakfast to us, but in the end, everything was charged separately, and they claimed that's how it had been "explained." Absolutely outrageous!

Last time!!! They advertise extra plates and extra food as included, but then charge you extra at the end!!!! Pure rip-off!!!! I strongly advise against it…

I'd rather give zero stars than any star at all! The waitress was so brazen, she completely ripped us off. We ordered breakfast, and in the end, the bill was completely wrong without any explanation. When we pointed it out, she was even more rude. I really can't recommend this place to anyone!

Friendly and nice staff. It tasted great.

The staff is very friendly, and you're greeted warmly upon arrival. The food is plentiful and reasonably priced. We drive to Barmen specifically for this.

In my opinion, the doner meat at Sumak is the best you can get in Wuppertal. The meat and bread are homemade, and the other ingredients are also really fresh and delicious.

This Turkish restaurant is truly fantastic! I was here three days ago, and because it was so delicious, I came back today. The food is super clean and the taste is simply fantastic. I would love to eat it again right away! The atmosphere is also very pleasant. Please come back and visit us! Thank you very much.

Our visit to the Sumak restaurant in Wuppertal was unfortunately disappointing. We could only pay for breakfast in cash and didn't receive a receipt, which made the whole experience inconvenient. Furthermore, the value for money wasn't convincing, and the waitress was unfortunately not very friendly either. As an alternative, we recommend the Troja restaurant in Wuppertal-Elberfeld, where the value for money is significantly better and the quality is impressive.

Very tasty, highly recommended.

I just want to thank the entire team! We don't even need to talk about the food, it was truly delicious. I was particularly impressed by the team and their collaboration. There's simply a sense of structure. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to SumaK. Aaaahh, and Künefe and Cay were on the house 🥰🙏❤️ Best wishes from the Sauerland region.

Sumak offers a wide selection from breakfast to dinner. They offer both a doner kebab and pizza and fresh house dishes. The food is incredibly delicious, and the menus are very extensive. Excellent value for money! We visit the restaurant regularly and look forward to it every time. The staff is very attentive, and the shop owner is also on site every day to ensure quality and service. I can only recommend it.

The Sumak restaurant in Wuppertal is highly recommended! You immediately feel at home upon entering – the ambiance is stylish, modern, and cozy at the same time. The decor is designed with great attention to detail and reflects a warm, inviting atmosphere that perfectly fits the overall concept. The food is a true gem: the dishes are not only beautifully presented, but also taste excellent. Fresh ingredients, perfectly balanced spices, and a fantastic variety make every visit a culinary experience. What's particularly impressive is the creative reinterpretation of traditional flavors. The service staff is exceptionally friendly, attentive, and courteous. As a guest, you feel well looked after without ever being intrusive. The manager also takes time for his guests, personally inquires about their well-being, and creates a particularly warm atmosphere. All in all: A wonderful restaurant with excellent food, great service, and an atmosphere that invites you to return. Absolutely worth five stars!

Sumak, a restaurant we frequent, prepares everything fresh. The grill plate for two easily feeds three people. The lahmacun is also so delicious that it could be the best in all of Wuppertal.

Very tasty food, friendly service and fair prices, absolutely recommended!

My absolute favorite restaurant for Turkish specialties! I especially recommend the delicious breakfast, which boasts fresh ingredients, homemade bread, and a great selection of cheeses, olives, and spreads. The daily specials are always varied, freshly prepared, and delicious. The doner meat is a real highlight: tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned – you immediately notice the high quality. The service is warm and attentive, and the atmosphere is pleasant and inviting. If you love good Turkish food, you should definitely stop by here – highly recommended! 🌿🍴

Got pizza rolls yesterday, one was missing and the employee smiling ironically at the checkout, I'll never be back!!

Finally there is also in Barmen (Old Market). Very tasty kebab meat, both chicken and yaprak. The grill specialties are top and at a very high level. During Corona time I discovered the kebab pizza and what can I say. The dough is delicious in combination with kebab and the salad is a dream. Significantly better than other restaurants. I'll be happy when you can sit down there again. Prices are reasonable for the quality!

We had the large breakfast for two people, with two scrambled eggs, one tomato scramble, and one sausage scramble. Everything was super delicious and fresh, truly perfect. There was a large selection of salads, and by the end we were stuffed and happy. The front desk staff was also very friendly and helpful. The value for money was sensational.

Really friendly, great service, good prices 5*

We had breakfast. It was delicious and plentiful.

At Sumak, the steak doner tastes simply delicious! For my taste, it's best with just tomatoes and onions—fresh, juicy, and superbly seasoned. The value for money is excellent, the portions are generous, and it's filling. Highly recommended!

The food was good, but they took my drink order and then charged for it. We practically pulled the waiters by the arm. They didn't even come to check on me. I would recommend them if their service was decent.

Great food; special requests are promptly fulfilled. Very friendly staff. Dogs are welcome and provided with water.

I ate a beef doner/dürüm here and I have to say: it's absolutely outstanding! The meat isn't the typical "mixed meat" you unfortunately often find in many kebab shops in Germany, but pure beef – juicy, aromatic, and perfectly grilled. Just like you'd get it in Turkey, with real meat flavor and no compromises on quality. The preparation is very reminiscent of the traditional Turkish way, where the meat takes center stage. Every bite is hearty, fresh, and honest – a delight for anyone who loves real doner. For me, it's one of the best beef doner I've ever had in Germany. I like it best with plenty of iceberg lettuce and onions, without any sauce :D

It tasted like barbecue and the presentation was beautiful. It was a real mixed grill with mushrooms and 5-6 different types of meat.

Here you can get delicious and freshly prepared food. There's a daily special, which you have to ask about. You can sit outside in Barmen's pedestrian zone. The service is fast and friendly. I only had one doner kebab for €8.50. But it was very tasty, and you could taste the fresh parsley.

Yes, the price is ok and the food is good too

Unfortunately, the yaprak meat wasn't that good; it had little flavor and was very greasy. The fries were delicious.

Everything fine! Gladly again :)

We actually quite enjoy eating there because the food is good, I can't fault that. Unfortunately, I have to deduct stars, though; the service used to be better :/. Today, an employee came over to tell us directly (we were just inside, actually still standing) that a table was reserved. I thought, "Okay, they were just waiting for us." Then we sat at the other table for 20 minutes and 1) got the menus ourselves, and 2) we weren't noticed at all, so nothing, no one came by. Sorry, the service from the employee was poor. 1) she immediately made a bad impression, it could be better - I work with customers myself every day. You have to learn how to address people 🤷🏻‍♀️ Just a note for the future. It really annoyed me, especially after that "greeting" and then simply no attention. It left a bad taste in my mouth. It's a shame - but maybe they'll work with this feedback! 🙏

Super tasty and super friendly. We'd gladly return.

Don't miss the döner kebab. Otherwise, the food and portions are good. It's not a place to overdo it.

Everything was good but it was very crowded. The bartender needed a restaurant like this.

Cozy, delicious food, great service.

The food was very good. The service was fantastic. A lovely restaurant.

The food is delicious, a must visit.

The Yaprak is a 10 out of 10, I can recommend it.

The visit was fantastic from start to finish! The service was very friendly and attentive, the food was delicious, and the prices were great! Highly recommended 👍🏼

Classic Turkish grill. Everything was delicious. The staff is very friendly.

I ate there today with my nephew and my mother. My doner pizza was so overcooked I left it after two slices. The lagmacun was just as greasy. There was barely any cheese on the pizza. I won't recommend this restaurant to anyone in my circle.

Very good cuisine with class quality

We ate there for the first time this week. The food was delicious. The service was fantastic, very helpful, and courteous. A solid A+. We even got a small, complimentary meal of meat we didn't know. All desserts came with free Turkish tea. We'd love to come back.

Called on a Sunday and ordered to be picked up. We also said exactly when we would be coming and gave them enough time to order. When we arrived we didn't receive our orders because the lady on the phone couldn't pass on our order. Very annoying. It's a shame we definitely won't be eating here anymore.

Doner kebab was very dry, there was more red cabbage and lettuce than meat, the taste was absolutely no. And supposedly the kebab was homemade. Not recommended at all. The taste was zero. I can't understand what people wrote...

The food was okay but the service was very poor. We ordered tea and didn't get any tea. After a long time we didn't feel like waiting anymore and just wanted to pay and of course we left.

Really very tasty and the staff is just great, really friendly and helpful. The point is deducted because of the inside temperature, we were there in February and had to put our jacket back on, cold air was just blowing in the whole time. This disrupts the ambience and coziness.

Great dishes, not only beautiful to look at but also really tasty

I like to eat there. The staff is very friendly and the food is simply delicious. I can only recommend it. TOP

Friendly staff, delicious food and clean restaurant

Very nice restaurant, delicious food and very friendly service, clear recommendation!

I was at Sumak in Wuppertal and I was absolutely thrilled! The kebab was very tasty, made with fresh ingredients - you can immediately taste the quality. The ayran was also fresh and homemade, exactly as it should be. I would particularly like to emphasize the courteous service – friendly, attentive and fast. Here you feel completely at home as a guest. I'll definitely be back! Clear recommendation!

I can highly recommend this place. The staff are very friendly, customer service is great and I can't praise the food enough. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone as the prices are also very good for what you get. It's worth every cent and I can only recommend it. TOP

Everything is great with vegan options

Clean. Friendly and helpful staff. As always, background music is a matter of taste. Price/performance top

Super tasty kebab meat, delicious sauce, few vegetables (good for me) and a special bread: a little thicker than normal, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

Tastes very good 👍 nice employees 👍

We had made a reservation in advance by phone and even spelled the name, but when we arrived we were told there was no reservation. Without any apology or suggestion for a solution, we were simply put outside - in the cold and darkness. We are two young girls and found it really disgraceful to be treated like that. The food arrived way too late and when it finally arrived the tray fell down right in front of our eyes. Incredibly, the same food from the floor was later placed back on our plates! In addition, a homeless man approached us and although we felt uncomfortable, no one from the staff helped us or offered us another place. Other guests who came after us initially had to sit outside because it was full inside - but as soon as a place became available, they were allowed in immediately. We, on the other hand, sat outside the entire time until the end of our visit. As “compensation” we only received tea on the house, which should be a given anyway. But instead of apologizing for the poor treatment, we were rudely told: “Yes, see you next time.” Definitely the last time for us. Unfriendly service, chaos when making reservations, unhygienic handling of the food – we absolutely cannot recommend this restaurant!

Very tasty food and quick, friendly service, it was our first time there, but definitely not our last. Clear recommendation

It was a pleasant and friendly evening. Service always attentive and very good food. Perfect all around.

Yes, very good selection and nice staff

Great place, delicious, excellent speed, ordering and great staff.

I ONLY RATE THE DÖNER. Offering a kebab for 8€ is a lot. I wouldn't have gone there alone but our friend from Wuppertal wanted to try it out. A it is small, B there is not enough meat, C I ordered another ingredient and there was too much on it. In short: there are much better ones for less money. Too bad.

We love eating at sumak... Everyone is always very familiar and friendly... I've already tried several dishes there and everything was delicious... I can only recommend it... By the way, we now have an infant and they treat him really well too... Top shop

The most delicious breakfast in Wuppertal.

In short: it's okay, especially if you eat meat. Even though it was explicitly stated that you were a vegetarian, the appetizer plate came with meat. But they offered to take it back. Generally there is little choice for vegetarians/lactose intolerant people and the dishes are not labeled, so you have to search for a long time in the extensive menu. When we were there there weren't that many guests in the restaurant. Nevertheless, we had to wait a long time to be able to order and pay a second time. The waiters were there but inattentive. Cay was too good for my taste and Künefe was okay, but can't keep up with other restaurants.

I was there for the second time and again very satisfied👍🏽 the service was friendly and attentive👍🏽 The prices are affordable and there is plenty to choose from😵 the sanitary facilities🚽 (men) were clean at this time. We will be happy to come back. from me again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Central, friendly and tasty. We had breakfast: highly recommended sucuk with egg and menemen.

Best food in the city. A great service. We've been here a lot and we've always been greeted in a very friendly manner. The food is very tasty here. Always freshly prepared.

Actually great but if that wasn't the case Breakfast large has subsided earlier, something delicious in every bowl Today there are maybe 4 delicious leftover bowls just sitting there, so I might switch to Troy

We spontaneously went to Sumak for the first time late last night. We were greeted warmly and given the menu quickly. The selection is very large and ranges from various starters such as grape leaves to beyti, rotisserie dishes and pizza. We chose a kebab plate with rice and a minced meat skewer wrapped in dough with bulgur as a side dish. As a greeting from the kitchen we were given flatbread with dips. We liked everything here very much! Thank you for the lovely evening.

Waited 3/4 hour for a coffee, hardly any knowledge of German

Delicious! Nice service. Gladly again!!!

Very good food, top service, kindness and courtesy, affordable prices

Have been to Sumak several times and would love to come back. Friendly service and delicious food.

Very tasty food and very friendly service👍

I work in the catering industry myself. In addition, I am a big critic and I have to recommend Sumak. 5 ⭐️ is not enough for a deal like this. I always come back to eat here. 👑🍺🔟☝️⭐️❤️

Very good, not expensive, at least tea was served without money...

Delicious food, some smoky air from the grill

We ordered a small breakfast. We received large, varied portions. A large pot of tea. Fried eggs. Additionally, honey and marmalade. Basket of fresh bread. The price for a small breakfast is 10 euros. I recommend !!

The food was very delicious and they were also offered flatbread with dip and those were really big portions. Really recommended and always delicious

We were there for breakfast today. We ordered a "small breakfast" for €10.90. The plate was very plentiful and varied. There was a bread basket and a pot of tea. The breakfast tasted very good. For the price the food was “top” The atmosphere was cozy and quiet and the service was very friendly. Absolutely recommended 👍🏽

We came to Wuppertal to buy a car. After successful completion, we asked the seller where we could get something delicious to eat. He sent us here without thinking and we were not disappointed.
