Sumack Restaurant in Dortmund

Delicious food, very friendly service, reasonable prices—if you want Turkish food, this is the place for you!

Super delicious food, friendly service, and a lovely atmosphere. Would gladly return anytime...

The chef de cuisine personally visits and asks about your satisfaction. He has nothing to fear. Quite the opposite. Everything is to your complete satisfaction :-)

The place is pleasant, the food is delicious, the restrooms are spotless, and the staff are kind and attentive. Thank you. We will definitely visit again.

The food was very good and the service very attentive

Friendly staff, Turkish specialties in a pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Very delicious food. We went there for the first time based on recommendations. I can recommend it to everyone. The meat was delicious, tender as butter. Even the children's menus were beautifully presented. Friendly and very child-friendly staff.

Very good food, friendly staff, great atmosphere, fair prices. I highly recommend the appetizer platter.

Beautiful. Felt like home right through the door until the end. Supreme dining experience through and through. Good food, good ambiance, good people. We will definitely be back for more!

We visited this restaurant last year based on a Google recommendation. The service was below average and the food was good, but we didn't think it was good value for money. The main courses and soup were much too small compared to other typical/higher-quality Turkish restaurants. Even bread for the soup was only served upon request. Elsewhere, they offer a fresh bread basket with a few free dips beforehand. Service would have to be requested separately for requests. I suspect that the good reviews are due to the ambiance, which reminds us of upscale Greek restaurants. Due to the lack of alternatives in this part of town, the above-average rating is unfortunately unjustified in my opinion. Overall, there is still potential for a better rating.

The food is super delicious and authentically Turkish. The only downside, in my opinion, is that the portions could be a bit larger.

The food was okay, but not an experience. The price/performance ratio wasn't right, in my opinion. The portions were too small. The appetizers tasted bland.

I've been here three times now, whether with my wife, friends, or children, and I can recommend this restaurant to everyone. Very delicious food, especially the meze (appetizers). The service is always friendly and smiling, simply top-notch.

The food was delicious 😋. I would recommend it.

Great restaurant, highly recommended! The staff are super friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. The two of us shared some appetizers and a main course. The carrot yogurt dip and börek were particularly delicious. The fried potatoes with the Adana kebab and the skewer itself are also delicious.

Super delicious food 👍 Always happy to come back. I highly recommend the mixed starter platter – simply fantastic.

We were there for the first time today with 11 guests. The food was absolutely delicious. The value for money was excellent. The atmosphere is inviting. We were very pleased with the attentive service. We will definitely be back.

Completely satisfied. Today was our first time there and definitely won't be the last. The food and staff were simply fantastic. Thanks for a wonderful evening!

Today was our first visit to Sumack. The restaurant has a cozy outdoor terrace on the street, which we didn't mind. The interior is also very nice and cozy. The food was really, really good and highly recommended. There were both vegetarian and delicious meat dishes (beef, lamb) from Turkish cuisine to choose from. We were very satisfied with the delicious dips (hummus, ezme, shakshuka, and many more), as well as the baba ganoush, for example. The main courses (Adana kebab, chicken, or the mixed grill) were all very tasty, juicy, and not overcooked. The price/performance ratio was absolutely right. The service was attentive and friendly; everything came to the table piping hot, and drink requests were quickly fulfilled. All in all, a very nice evening, a great meal, and an absolute recommendation.

A very good restaurant. A very nice atmosphere. Excellent value for money. I've never eaten such tender and juicy meat. If it's your first time there, I highly recommend the grilled meat.

I can definitely recommend this restaurant. The food is very delicious.

Very tasty food in the heart of Berghofer. We sat outside in the wonderful weather, which was quite pleasant despite being on Benninghofer Strasse.

Really a TOP address for tasty and sufficient food 🥰 We were there with our company and everyone is still thinking about your delicious food. And that from starter to dessert. Always on my to-do list. Keep it up, LG Silvia 😊

Yes, very tasty food. The owner is very friendly and welcomes everyone at the table.

Today was our first time eating at Sumack Restaurant (Dortmund). The atmosphere was fantastic, the staff was super friendly. The food was simply GREAT. Highly recommended.

Just thrilled every time. Great starters, very good selection of vegetarian and meat dishes. Everything fresh and prepared with love.

Inconspicuous from the outside, very nice inside.

Super food can only be recommended, it comes to the table very quickly and hot. Great service, very friendly and super clean! Always happy to visit :)

I rarely give this grade, but here I give it a solid 10/10!!!

Our visit to the Sumack Restaurant was a complete success. The food was exceptionally tasty and absolutely impressed us. The waiters were friendly, attentive and provided excellent service. Overall, we were very satisfied and can only warmly recommend the restaurant. If you appreciate good food and a pleasant atmosphere, you should definitely stop by here!

Let's be honest, the food lacked a certain oomph. Good quality but needs improvement in terms of seasoning. The advertised Dubai chocolate... consists of 90% dark chocolate that is so hard that you almost couldn't bite through it. Criticism was dismissed by, we assume, the chef, with the words that we were the first ones who didn't like it. He doesn't handle criticism well. It's a shame we were looking forward to a culinary experience that was unfortunately radically destroyed.

Very attentive service, delicious food and with a starter and main course in just over an hour, it didn't take too long. On the second visit I was there with other people and we were all thrilled. Super tasty food, service again attentive but not intrusive. I'll be back.

We had a lovely evening at Sumack Restaurant. We really liked the food. There were starters (mezze) on the house. The dessert was also tasty. The prices are fair. The ambience is very nice and has a cozy but also elegant atmosphere. The manager of the house came by personally to ask if everything was okay. We'd love to come back.

Today we were in the restaurant for the first time with 6 people and we were more than thrilled. The food was very good, very tasteful. The service was great, super friendly and very attentive. We received bread several times. The price/performance ratio is very good. We will definitely come back.

We went there for dinner for the first time yesterday and we'll definitely be back! Never tasted such delicious Turkish food. The service was very friendly and the atmosphere was really nice. Thanks :)

The food was sufficient. The Adana Kebab was very finely chopped and grilled dry. This made it taste like meatballs. The decoration is good but overall the experience is not worth the prices.

Had a very tasty meal there several times. Mega friendly staff and value for money is great.

Food was ok, but nothing more. Service in a very bad mood, no smile, no laughter, nothing. Tables at the front right next to the door are very cold because people are constantly coming in. No risk of repetition.

Awesome!! We'd love to come back!!!

Honestly 10 out of 10. Everything perfect

We had dinner at the Sumack Restaurant on January 31, 2015 and felt very comfortable right from the start. The food (Sumack platter for 2 people) was extremely tasty and very digestible. Before the meal, a variation of various dips with flatbread was served. After the meal, tea was served. The entire team was friendly and very approachable. It was a lovely evening and we would love to come back.

Leckeres Essen und freundliche Bedingung

We ate there for the first time yesterday. Super tasty. Come more often now!

Great food, very pleasant atmosphere to have a nice time, service very attentive

Been there for the first time... very nice and would love to come back! Value for money completely okay... delicious starters from the house... my chicken was super tender and very tasty! nice atmosphere and pleasant waiting time... were definitely not there for the last time!

Very good and tasty food. The service was courteous and the restaurant has a nice ambience.

So we were very positively surprised. Met our expectations. A great team. We'll definitely come back.

Super delicious food in a great atmosphere. The entire staff was courteous and friendly. Only recommended!

Can't understand the good reviews, but apparently they're trying to remove bad reviews, so that makes sense. We ordered takeaway here. It took a long time. The dishes were very dry and there was no sauce. Big disappointment.

Wonderful restaurant, delicious food, nice staff. Again and again!!

There was far too little on it for the money you would have expected more. The ambience was very nice and the service too.

Great atmosphere, service friendly and accommodating. Portions could be a little larger. But with a starter it was ok.

I really appreciate the stylish interior design of the restaurant 🥰The service was very nice and smiling❤️Everything we ordered looked good and tasted delicious👍

Really tasty, great atmosphere and then a very nice boss. For the whole family Thanks and keep it up!

It was very tasty, great waiters, great atmosphere. Thank you boss Hasan

Very tasty food...nice staff...friendly chef... Thank you for this experience 😊 I'd be happy to do it again

An enchanting evening from starter to dessert. Thank you very much, dear team

Delicious. Friendly people. Hardworking boss.

The food was incredibly tasty, the atmosphere was super cozy and the staff was just great – totally friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be back!

Absolute recommendation! We made an easy reservation in advance at Sumack. A bit inconspicuous from the outside, but the inside of the store is beautifully decorated. The staff is absolutely on point and very friendly and attentive 😀 The house starter was great and something different. Our grill plate for 2 people arrived at the table quickly and was absolutely convincing. High quality meat, great taste. The fries were also something completely different and extremely tasty. For dessert there was chocolate souflet and katmer, both desserts were extremely tasty and well prepared. The price is absolutely fair, and for the quality of food and service it is really good value for money. The boss also came personally and asked whether we were satisfied. We can say, great store! We would love to come back 😉

This is best restaurant. Nice waiter, nice atmosphere and nice food. We'd love to come back.

Really tasty and good food. There was a mistake with our reservation, not from our side, but from the restaurant, and every effort was made to make it possible for us to get a nice place to eat. Great service. Thank you very much!

Unfortunately only 5 stars available! The choice of food, ambience and the friendliness of the staff are simply very good!! The dishes we ordered were excellently prepared and cooked to perfection! A further journey is also worth it!

We were there on October 16th. again in Sumack and were thrilled as always. Modern Turkish cuisine. As a starter we had the scampi pan and the Börek. Then the grill plate - because we couldn't decide and there was something from all the specialties on it. As always, super fried and very tasty. The service and the good manners are also very positive: as soon as there is some quiet in the kitchen, the boss takes the time to get feedback directly from his guests. We'll definitely come back.

A really good place to pamper yourself a little. Good cuisine, reasonable prices and very, very friendly service. Highly recommended

We wanted to try many things, and I am glad we did. The mixed dip starter for 2 with hot and fresh Turkish flatbread and the mixed grill for 2 were great choices. We also enjoyed Turkish coffee, tea, and a chocolate dessert with pistachio, tahini, pomegranate, and melon. What a unique and creative treat. The service was exceptional too. My friend and I agree that it was a grand finale for my visit from the US.

Simply great. Finally a restaurant that has quality to offer and Turkish food on a level far beyond snack food. Very nice, tasty and great service.

We were there for the first time today and were very positively surprised. From the outside the restaurant looks rather inconspicuous. Inside, however, it is larger than expected and has a very nice atmosphere. It's a bit like a vacation. The staff was very nice and accommodating and the food was really tasty! We will definitely come back and recommend it to others 😊

Had my birthday dinner today here. Loved the food, their ambiance and service was fast. Had a good time along with good food. Loved their Dubai chocolate dessert and the tomato chutney (sauce??!). Overall, best present for myself today!

Highly recommended, a very high quality restaurant. The food and the friendliness of the staff are simply great 👍

The staff is super trained, attentive and do a great job. The chef came several times to check whether everything was tasty. The food was absolutely delicious!

Super nice staff. The food was very tasty. From the main course to the dessert, everything is prepared with a lot of love The chef comes out and asks if everything is OK. Atmosphere, ambience, everything was great. 1 point deducted due to parking.

We've been there for dinner several times. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. What I would particularly like to emphasize is that every time the chef goes around and asks if everything is OK. Clear recommendation. A small downer: it is relatively loud outside due to the street.

We were there for the first time yesterday and were warmly welcomed in a great atmosphere by a great, attentive team. Service was really great and not intrusive. Even the boss visited the guests every now and then and you were even surprised with a small gesture from the kitchen. We'd love to come back. Keep up the good work Thanks to the team and the chef for the nice evening. The food and service were top notch. We'd love to come back.

We had a very nice and delicious dinner. The attention and atmosphere was very nice. We will go again.

This restaurant knows its craft!!! I was looking for a Turkish restaurant that also offers Raki because it was my father's birthday and he loves Turkish cuisine. It was our first visit, but definitely not the last! The three pillars of a successful restaurant - excellent service, high-quality food and an atmospheric ambience - are all met with a grade of A in this restaurant! For me personally the best Turkish restaurant in Dortmund, and this review comes from a fellow countryman. Keep it up, great!

Eaten masterfully. Very friendly staff. We were very positively surprised. Thanks to the chef for the tasty dish.

We have been here several times and always feel very comfortable. The food is served beautifully presented and is simply delicious.

Had dinner there with the whole family. Service was very friendly, food was delicious, always a great shop

Very chic location, really a great atmosphere to have a festive meal.

We waited 30 minutes for someone to take our order, then we waited another 30 minutes for our drinks and food to come (usually the drinks always come earlier) The portions are simply too small for the money. It was still tasty, but no one gets tired of it🫠 The waitress looks very confused and the food always ends up at the wrong tables😂

Attractive ambience, very courteous service and fantastically delicious food, what more could you want :) Always worth a visit!

Very good cuisine, nice decoration, good ambience... we spent a great evening with the family here. Thanks again for the delicious amuse-bouches, which are systematically served at the beginning, so delicious!!

I had Künefe here on Sunday and it was the tastiest Künefe I have eaten so far😍😍😍 I recommend this restaurant to everyone.

I recently went to Sumak and it was just great! The atmosphere is super cozy and the staff is really friendly. I had the kebab plate and my husband had the grill plate - both were awesome. The selection of drinks was also great. I will definitely come back!

I can now confirm everyone here. The food is fresh, tasty and enough to satisfy your hunger. This is the wrong place to overeat, but the quality is very good Picture 1 Kasap Köfte Picture 2 Sumack grill plate We recommend. I have to deduct 1/100 star because I didn't get any bread with dips to try in advance. But you could order it and it also tasted very good We will be back

First of all, the authentic oriental decor is so successful for the first time in a restaurant. Together with the rustic interior and Turkish folk music, you can feel the Anatolian charm here. Then there is the super nice service! Very accommodating and friendly! I think it was the owner who greeted all the tables personally and was definitely super nice. Then there were starters in small bowls with flatbread. The hummus was so good and the ezme was also perfectly seasoned. Everything with a lot of sumac (vinegar tree spice), as the restaurant is also called. The food was also perfect. The meat was extremely well fried and literally melted when you chewed it. The Andalusian sauce was also great. My wife had a mixed grill plate and the kofta were grilled to perfection. So everything was perfect! The toilets were super clean and you felt good. We will definitely come back when we are in Dortmund or nearby. Sumack is definitely worth a visit and once you've been there, you'll definitely come back again!

By far the BEST Turkish food in Dortmund 👍 Four of us had dinner and were thrilled by the freshness and taste of the dishes. Great service team and a humble boss who is also the chef who creates the dishes. In any case, this restaurant is one of my favorites. It is "real Turkish" "fresh" and "tasty" Respect 👍

Super delicious, freshly prepared food! The owner was very friendly and personally came to the table to inquire about the food. Super Service. I can only recommend:)

So far from original Turkish cuisine, unfortunately! The lentil soup was very thin, had no lemon and was very flavorful. There was little bread and no dips for starters. The grill plate mainly consisted of chicken wings, no Adana or pepperoni or anything like that. There wasn't even bulgur or rice. but then proud prices! The service itself was impeccable, super nice and attentive. But we won't go there again for Turkish food.

I was traveling in Dortmund (from Cologne) and was looking for a place to eat. That's when I came across Sumack. The store did not disappoint in any way. From the ambience to the food and the service, everything was fascinating. The food tasted great. Cheers! to the cook. He knows his craft!!! From now on I will always come here when I get hungry in Dortmund!!! I can only recommend it to everyone!!!

The food was great. The bread that was served as a starter with the dips was freshly baked and still warm. I ordered fish (sea bream) and it was by far the tastiest I've eaten recently. The food was well prepared and the service was also very attentive. We will be back definitely.

It was our first time here and it certainly won't be the last time. Very clean. Food was great too. I can only recommend it 👍

We celebrated a birthday last night, everything was perfect. Thank you very much for your friendly face and services. Of course, we will come again and recommend you.

Highly recommended, I will happily come back.

Food very good. Unfortunately the portions are a bit small and quite expensive

Ate at Sumack again today. On the occasion of Mother's Day, the women were greeted with a red rose. The food was very tasty! We hadn't ordered a starter but still got one on the house, which consisted of dips and flatbread. As always, the service was very attentive. This restaurant is definitely recommended.

Great food in the heart of Berghofen. Super Service. Always my pleasure!

Perfect authentic Turkish cuisine. Dishes were absolutely delicious. Lamb tender and juicy. Service staff very professional and nice. Atmosphere with beautiful examples of Turkish folk music without unnecessary noise. We are excited.

The food was very good, the service was courteous, and the price was very good
