Tadım Damak in Köln

I called because I was sold two old sesame rings. They were courteous on the phone and told me if you were around the corner you could come by and get two new fresh sesame rings. However, since I live almost 10 kilometers away, I let them know that I would come the following day, which was accepted. Well the next day I showed up, the shop wasn't particularly full, but there was something to do and I was met with the following words: "Are you sure you bought two "old" sesame rings from us?" The look was not at all neutral, but rather as if one wanted to assume something about them. Well my conclusion is that neither I nor I will come to you and I will no longer send other people to you asking me where you can get fresh baked goods, since it hasn't happened for the first time (you just thought this time I give strength to my voice) Ps. I bought flatbread three times 🫓 and two sesame rings. The bread is great, there's nothing wrong with it, but what's the point if you want to make a nice complaint and are treated so badly that you don't get much attention. One of two sesame rings was brought back and the other, because it had already crumbled, was thrown into the trash (which I generally find a shame when it comes to food) and when I showed one sesame ring the gentleman said '" they said on the phone something from two pieces and here I only see one!” then almost threw a euro on the counter at the speed at which it happened, simply inhumane. If it ever happens to you, just don't throw it in the trash, otherwise you'll get something like that thrown at you like I did. Simply outrageous.

Good lentil soup fresh baked goods

If you're looking for delicious baklava in Ehrenfeld, you've come to the right place. The desserts always seem fresh, crispy and have just the right amount of honey and pistachios. If you love baklava, you definitely won't be disappointed here.

I think it's fantastic, it's more of a snack bar than a restaurant, but indulge in a Turkish lentil soup with fresh bread, you won't regret it friends

Ate lahmacun and baklava. Delicious! 😍

We've been waiting for our tea for over an hour! Despite asking 3 times, nothing came! So we couldn't enjoy our künefe. Poor performance

Worst tea and kunefe I have ever ate in abroad. I absolutely don’t recommend coming to this place

Really top loading. Always very tasty. 😋 best lentil soup in Cologne and very good flatbread. The staff friendly and pleasantly reserved :)

Very tasty mocha and good pastries. The road there isn't that busy either. So it's relatively "quiet" for such an environment. You can easily sit outside in front of it. Since I was there in the morning, unfortunately I can't rate any real food. But what I got was very good. The price is also optimal.

Bakery The smell of fresh bread wafting through Raja makes you eat ravenously Back to your home

All dishes here are recommended! Especially the lentil soup - I've never had anything like it 😋 The food arrives at the table super quickly and the service is very accommodating. I can only recommend Damak.

The worst lahmacun eaten in my life. I wouldn't recommend the store to anyone.

The food tastes very good, no matter whether it's desserts or soups etc. One problem is the catastrophically bad service from the waiters, no overview, you sit for ages until someone comes.

Very unhygienic, lahmacun didn't taste good at all, tables, toilets etc. Everything was very dirty.

Very friendly and good selection

Very friendly and good selection

This place is the salvation for a day that got late and you want to have something delicious, healthy and quick for dinner. It is known for its famous lentil soup which is a 10. They brought it to us super quickly and with a lot of bread (the bread in the photo is for two people).

9 euros for 3 small pieces of baklava and 2 cays. Total bullshit. How are such prices justified?

What a lentil soup! The best I've ever eaten. With lemon and bread. Plus the homemade Ayran. Tadim Damak really has it. A Cologne cultural hotspot. Everyone here goes for gin. I was here for the first time and I'm thrilled.

Unfortunately the Künefe didn't taste good at all. It just tastes like dough! Waiter unfriendly. Not recommendable!

I think there is outstanding lentil soup and extremely good lahmacun here! The prices are great too. It's not the coziest shop to sit in but it has the right vibe.

The lentil soup used to taste much better! We got some lentil soup today and it tastes like water! No salt and no spices. A total rip off!!!! Never again!

Very bad service. After waiting 20 minutes, I asked the waiter if he would like to serve me. The answer is that I should go to the counter. Ridiculous. You can draw attention to self-service with signs and information. But that doesn't exist here. But when you come there as a group of girls, things look different. I wonder why. Totally unfriendly young guys there. You don't get a menu. No indication of self-service. As a long-time customer, I have seen a lot of staff there, but the current staff is the last one. The store is ruining its reputation. Arabic music playing way too loudly, “waiters” chatting away, and zero friendliness. It's a shame, but after so many years, Damak is over for me. Looks like a restaurant, but it's anything but. The soups used to be excellent, but they aren't anymore. I tried to speak to the boss, but the waiters didn't want to show them. The baker poorly pretended to be the boss and saw self-service as normal. Interesting. Would like to see him wait 30 minutes without being served.

Super tasty food, very cheap too. Best flatbread in town!

We are regular customers there. The food is delicious, the Ayran is super tasty and the price is great.

I really enjoy eating baklava and künüfe. Usually always at Damla from Venlor Str.. At Damla everything tastes fantastic. But I warn you about this shop. Turkish pizza labeled and disgusting with strange salad that only has syrup on it. What's worse is the fact that the top is completely soft without any liquid. As if it had just been thawed. There isn't a single Turk working in the shop and none of the guests are Turks either. That should have been a warning to me. So we ordered three things and didn't touch any of them. Just disgusting and the people who work there barely understand a word and are unfriendly. I haven't been so disappointed in a long time. So really stay away from the store. The money would be better off in the trash can. By the way, the tea doesn't taste good either...

The Turkish pizza there is absolutely not recommended! The meat wasn't cooked through

We were here to drink tea, the shop was completely empty and we were overlooked the whole time. We were initially refused the order after several attempts and the order was granted

Waiters overlook customers, rude when taking orders

I go there regularly with colleagues and am only full of praise! Sure, the ambience is rather basic - but if you want "Schicki Micki" you're in the wrong place on Venloer Straße anyway 😉 Regarding some critical reviews: you order at the counter...

By far the best lentil soup (vegan) I have eaten! It's super quick and you get a lot of bread with it. I recommend everyone to eat here :) baklava is also very tasty here!

She just wanted to grab something to eat and ended up in this restaurant. We ate really, really great! It was super tasty and so different from the other Turkish restaurants we've had the pleasure of getting to know so far. The staff were very accommodating and the price was completely reasonable. We'd love to come back!

Paid €50 for 2 daily specials, a soup, 0.3l of cola. Please don't let yourself be deducted

Best lentil soup in Cologne! The lahmacun and pide were also super tasty and the opening times were simply brilliant!!!

Very, very unfriendly, it doesn't have to be that way.

Unfortunately, the waiters didn't notice us (8 people) after 20 minutes. We were neither spoken to nor given a card. Even if the store wasn't that full, they could have at least distributed the cards. Something like that is disrespectful to the customers who go a long way and sacrifice their time...

A mix of Turkish bakery and snack bar. Baked goods are freshly baked on site. Everything looks a bit unhygienic, but a look into the open kitchen reveals a lot. Kurufasulye had little to do with Kurufasulye, we didn't like it at all. Pirinç pilavi, Lahmacun and Kavurma too. The pide was freshly baked and tasted ok. We wouldn't go there again and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Unfortunately!

The Lahmacun is very tasty, the staff is friendly, but the ambience is very bad with the tables outside, I would strongly recommend sitting inside, although there can be a lot of guests sitting there and it would probably be loud with the radio and the staff, but it is a lot better than there is a lot of smoke out there, loud phone calls or other things that could be very disruptive when eating.

Best store. The only thing that might make it a little more possible, that some people can do it more often, is maybe another “non-soup” option in vegan 😍

Super nice employees always enjoy eating delicious food

Service and staff are bad. Food and desserts are not bad.

Authentic food and nice service at a really fair price. In addition, there is significantly less going on than next door. Lahmacun was outstanding.

I stayed back super tasty and delighted and was able to infect my wife so that we are happy and satisfied and would like to come back if it doesn't get too expensive because we are poor people and are looking for accommodation for the beautiful days near the Baltic Sea and the Sun thank you GREAT

Unfortunately the staff was very inattentive. Constantly had to go to the counter to be served. Even when we wanted to pay at the checkout, the employee with his cell phone stood leaning against the wall behind the counter and didn't pay any attention to us. Unfortunately, the food wasn't good either. OK for the price. Künefe came cold. It's a real shame because the shop was recommended to us for sweets. It was probably better once. Unfortunately I can't confirm it for today. I hope you take the reviews as an incentive to at least improve your service. In this case, food is a matter of taste. Thank you anyway!

the best Turkish restaurant outside Turkey! incredibly good food

Super Suppen zum fairen Preis. Linsen- und Hünchensuppe 👌👌👌

Essen ist günstig und einfach. Das Ambiente ist unter Durchschnitt, was aber überhaupt nicht schlimm ist im Angesicht der Hintergrundmusik (Shishabarhits 2019). Der Service ist schlecht aber auch nicht schlimm. Irgendwie der ist alles schlecht außer das Essen aber trotzdem komme ich gerne hierhin, da ich es hier unterhaltsam finde. Im übrigen muss man den Kellnern immer wieder drauf aufmerksam machen, dass die Bestellung unvollständig ist 😝

Nach meinem letzten Essen dort,konnte ich wegen magenschmerzen das Bett 4 Tage nicht verlassen. In der Küche läuft irgendetwas schief,oder nicht zu recht. Das letzte mal war das letzte mal!

Ich möchte wirklich nicht negativ klingen, jedoch ist ein Teil des Personals sehr unsympathisch. Kein Lächeln im Gesicht und keine Motivation an der Arbeit. Beim Eintreten in den Laden wird man nicht einmal begrüßt. Als ich einen Tee bestellen wollte, wurde mir gesagt das man hier keinen Tee ausschenkt. Man wollte mich also nicht als "nur Tee trinkenden" Kunden haben. Unglaublich frech! Zum Essen kann ich nur die Linsensuppe beurteilen, und diese war wirklich nicht gut. Die Kritik über den Service und die Mitarbeiter ist natürlich nicht zu verallgemeinern, bestimmt sind dort auch Mitarbeiter die Ihren Job äußerst gut machen. Ich jedoch habe eine negativ Erfahrung gehabt.

Guter türkischer Kaffee, schön serviert. Freundliches Personal. Take-Away-Atmosphäre.

Immer da wenn du ne Linsensuppe brauchst. Nach tee und baklava ist man wieder neu geboren ;)

Frau an der Kasse ist extrem unfreundlich

Bestes Ramazan Pidesi in ganz NRW. Ich würde in so einem Pide wohnen wenn es groß genug wäre.

Leckeres Essen, netter Service.

Çay içmek istedik içeride içemezsiniz sadece dışarıda içebilirsiniz dediler içeride oturma alanı boş olduğu halde izin vermediler. Çayı lezzetsizdi.

Der Geschmack des Essens ist wirklich toll, allerdings benimmt sich das Personal nicht brav

Es gibt gutes Essen, vor allem seine spezielle ayran und Suppen

Tolle Linsensuppe und echt gutes Baklava!

Essen war und ist super! Leider versuchen die Mitarbeiter die Kunden über den Tisch zu ziehen. Der Lamacun kostet 3,50€ mit Salat, es wird jedoch 6€ verlangt. Sobald man darauf hinweist, dass 3,50€ ausgeschrieben steht, wird dieser für den Preis verkauft .

Leckeres Mercimek gegessen. Also auch für Veganer geeignet, wenn man türkische Linsensuppe mag.

Sehr leckere Tagesgerichte. Unbedingt Baklava probieren !

Delicious food, wie immer lecker

Manisa'dan bir haftalık köln gezimizde arayarak bulduğumuz bu türk lokantası,bazı günlerde iki defa gittiğimiz konağımız oldu.. Çorba ve sulu yemek ihtiyacımızı fazlasıyla karşıladılar.Bize karşı iyiydiler.Kendikerinin yaptığı pideler de çok lezzetliydi..Personel melik'e de ayrıca teşekkür ederiz.Yolumuz köln'e düştüğünde mutlaka tekrar uğrayacağız.Selamlar..

Mehr als eine halbe Stunde auf unser Künefe gewartet und es war nicht richtig durch. Anscheinend wurde unsere Bestellung vergessen.

Essen akzeptable aber Dienst katastrophale, bei 2 Besuche wollten Mitarbeiter die Tische nicht sauber machen und nicht am Tisch nur uns nicht bedienen. Eckelhafte benehmen.

Our ICE train departure was rerouted from Köln Ehrenfeld today and we were looking for somewhere quick and cheap to eat in the area when we came across this little gem. The super friendly staff realised from our bad German and confused faces that we were English so made such an effort to help us. We both had a really delicious fish stew which came with a basket of the most delicious and fluffy bread. We were sad that we needed to get away and catch our train so didn't have time for tea or baklava. Would really recommend this place for good and well-priced food and if we're ever back in Köln we'll visit again and try something different.

Bad experience with payment. Google page says they accept cards and they do have card machine at the register, but they wanted cash only and refused to take any of the different types of cards available. Other businesses post a cash-only sign on the door or take payment at time of order. This one didn’t say anything until after the food was served and was not helpful in solving this situation. I had to go out and find a bank to withdraw cash.

Ruhige Ambiente, gutes Preisleistungsverhältnis und leckere türkische Desserts für den Abend und gute Suppen am Morgen. Service ist auch gut, man bestellt an der Kasse. Schönes Gemeinschaftsgefühl und das Lokal hat lange geöffnet

The service is unexisting. We're stepping in, waiting in the queue to order, the "server" at the front guest is telling my friend to go sit until someone comes to take orders. The tables hasn't been clean from the previous costumers. I wave at the front desk but nothing ... I stand up go to by the cash desk & ask nicely if someone can clean the table as we're wating. He looks at me, says ok but doesn't do it or even ask someone to clean it... Seriously ? What's wrong with that FONDAMENTAL thing... I shouldnt even ask for the table to be clean... We're waiting some 15 minutes but nobody's coming. The table is still uncleaned yet so fare I stand up go by cash desk to grab some hand sanitizer, get some napkins, remove the dirty plates on the side uncleaned table and clean as I could anyway... 20 minutes still no one to take order. My friend vocally seize a server and ask him if we can order but he says that we have to order by the cash desk... "What??? But your mate told us to sit and wait for a server to take order..." We go at the cash desk again wait in the queue again and finally take order... Order takes an other 15 minutes to reach our table. Why did he not bring the tea we asked for... We're still waiting but nothing comes... As we leave I wanna pay by card but the cashier doesn't want to. Why ??? I mean it's 2023. Paying by card isn't a favor I was asking... I don't care if you don't wanna declare your taxes... That's none of my business... Sincerely the service was horrible. You really need a better formation for your personal specially if you wanna get a good reputation, it ruins the food experience. Don't be rude with your clients... Ponder over this.

Einfach super Laden, es gibt Suppen, warmes essen zur jeder Uhrzeit und das auch wirklich lecker und bezahlbar ist. Die Bedienung unsere Liebe „NUR Abla“ kann keiner toppen! Sie hat immer ein zauberhaftes Lächeln und ist vor allem immer auf Zack!!!!Wir kommen immer wieder gerne😍😍

GUTES ESSEN , SOLLTE AUFJEDENFALL IMMER MIT BROT GEGESSEN WERDEN , DA MANCHE VIELLEICHT DIE FETTIGEN SACHEN AUCH IN / ALS SUPPE NICHT LEICHT VERDAUEN KÖNNEN , MÖGLICHE SITZUNGEN AUM KAISERSTUHL WÄRE DENKBAR . MIR AUFJEDENFALL KANN KEINE MAGENEMPFINDLICHKEIT NACHGEWIESEN WERDEN . ICH HALTE MICH DRAN MIT BROT DIE SPEISEN ZU ESSEN , AUSSERDEM IST DAS BROT AUCH SEHR LECKER . WER EIRAN MAG , DEN GIBTS HIER AUCH FRISCH . PROST UND GUTEN HUNGER

Es macht Spaß hier zum Mittagstisch zu kommen und Nur ist eine freundliche Bedienung. Danke, dass es noch so einen Service gibt!

Service ist wirklich hervorragend, vor allem die weibliche Bedienung. Immer Tee zusätzlich zum Essen.

Çok teşekkür ederiz Damak Personelinden

Bei sehr heißen Sommertemperaturen darf man nicht draußen sitzen, die bestellten pide sind massiv trocken. Gefühlt nur Staub. Sämtliche Ansprache erfolgt im unfreundlichen Ton. Generell spricht das Personal kaum bis wenig deutsch, in Deutschland sollte man das können/ sollen/ wollen/ müssen. Im Laden läuft so Laut Musik das man sich kaum unterhalten kann, außer man brüllt gegen das ausländische Gebrüll an Ich komme nicht wieder.

Herşey çok güzeldi Tavsiye ederim.

Ob Baklava, Pide, Simit oder köstliche Acma alles sehr gut. Auch der typisch türkische Mittagstisch ist zu empfehlen. Cay meist frisch und lecker. Das Personal ist freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es gibt vor der Tür einige Tische und Bänke, im Ladenlokal ebenfalls.

Einfach gehaltenes "Restaurant" mit vielen Süßspeisen ... nicht übersüßt und würzig ... Follow me.

Daima açık dostça bir Restoran ve Fırın.

Bitte tut euch diesen Laden nicht an… Ich wollte normal auf Toilette gehen und der Typ an der Kasse drückt mir irgendeine Tüte in die Hand, was ich nicht verstanden habe. Dann warte ich mehrere Minuten vor der Toilette bis irgendwann ein Mann und eine Frau dort herauskommen. Und dann bemerkte ich, dass es sich um einen Mitarbeiter handelt… Wer weiß, mit welchen Händen euer Essen zubereitet oder berührt wird. Wie gesagt, tut euch das nicht an. Der Laden hat sich blamiert.

Das Essen ist sehr lecker und die Kellner immer sehr freundlich und zugewandt. Das Bezahlsystem ist top, da es langes Warten am Tisch vermeidet. Das Ambiente ist recht einfach gehalten.

Freundliches Personal. Guter Service. Mal was anderes wie Döner.

Sehr leckeres Essen, war immer zufrieden.

Immer wenn wir in Ehrenfeld sind, gehen wir dort frischen Fladenbrot kaufen und dieses Mal haben wir uns den Künefe gegönnt. Der war sehr lecker 😋. Die Kellner sind alle super freundlich und höflich. Das Essen wird täglich frisch zubereitet. Super Laden für zwischendurch Hausmannskost auf Türkisch

Preis Leistungs Verhältnis unerreicht. Suppe mit unbegrenzt Fladenbrot 4€. Geschmacklich ebenso top. Zudem große Auswahl an herzhaften und süßen Speisen. Außerdem durchgehend geöffnet. Verstehe daher nicht warum der Laden nicht mind 4,6 Sterne hat.

Sehr lecker und mit freundlichem Personal!

Locale molto frequentato nella via principale di Köln Ehrenfeld, quasi di fronte la stazione. L'interno è molto spartano e si possono assaggiare diverse pietanze turche diverse dal solito. Buono il börek. Prezzi non alti e servizio veloce e gentile. Consiglio!

Very very bad pastry. Extremely sweet with cheap sugar syrup. No honey as traditional for Turkish pastry. Very little nuts filling. It's basically ultra sweet bread. The guy weighed together two different items with different prices, and made up the total price. I don't know if other items are better. But I will never come back here.

Essen ist sehr lecker. Große Auswahl. Die Musik ein Gemisch aus rap, Pop war nicht so toll und etwas laut. Traditionelle Musik fände ich besser. Aber sonnst gut

3mal die Getränke bestellt, gebracht wurden sie leider bis ich gegangen bin nicht. Auch beim Bezahlen ist es ihnen nicht aufgefallen, dass wir keine Getränke zu bezahlen hatten.

most authentic restaurant/bakery at Venloer Str.

Es gibt hier super leckeres Künefe! Kennt ihr das, wenn Künefe nur nach Zucker schmeckt oder super gepresst ist? Hier bekommt ihr das Gegenteil! Es ist süß, aber nicht so sehr, dass die anderen Komponenten untergehen! Außerdem ist es nicht so stark gepresst und dadurch viel knuspriger 😋 Also eine absolute geschmackliche Empfehlung!

Beste Linsensuppe! Und das auch ToGo!!

Nice baklava for dessert, especially the chocolate one! There is plenty of space available inside, and they also offer lunch dishes

Antepfistikli baklava taze deyildi, yumuşamiş gitmiş. Pide güzel

24 Stunden offen was ich persönlich sehr gut finde. Schmeckt sehr lecker vor Ort. Kann ich nur empfehlen, vor allem Baklava mit Pistazie.

Wir sind zufällig an dem Restaurant/Café vorbeigelaufen und haben daraufhin spontan entschieden hier einen Zwischenstopp einzulegen. Sehr leckeres Simit, Börek und Baklava zu fairen Preisen. Das Personal war auch sehr freundlich.

Unter anderem bestes Pide in Köln.

Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr nett aber der Chef gibt kein Trinkgeld, und wenn ein Kellner kein Trinkgeld bekommt der macht auch kein gute Service. Das ist unrecht das der Chef behalt das Trinkgeld in seine Tasche.

TAVSI ETMIORUM BITTE NICHT DA HIN GEIN
