Tandir Restaurant köln in Köln

It was a spontaneous decision to grab a bite to eat there shortly before an event. I hadn't been to the restaurant before. So I was all the more delighted by the excellent service and the delicious food. I could have tried everything on the menu. That certainly won't be my last time there.

We ate there with our family today after arriving from Portugal. The food was absolutely delicious. I must also commend the lovely waitress for her excellent service. The design of the platters, plates, etc., is also very beautiful. :) Our visit was on the evening of November 20, 2025.

Excellent. No other words to describe it. Food was absolutely outstanding. Service was very good. Clean, a lovely atmosphere and top notch chefs. Turkish cuisine at its absolute best. You must try it!

Very friendly staff. Customer service is truly valued here. I'll definitely be back. See you soon!

I'm very satisfied! The middle-aged man was very friendly. The quality was excellent, and I'd gladly come back. I highly recommend him!

I was greeted very warmly as soon as I walked in. 10 out of 10

As a former Berliner, I'm naturally extremely spoiled when it comes to Turkish grill restaurants. Tandir can easily compete. The best yogurt drink I've had in years. The bread is also fantastic 👏💪♥️

Very, very delicious food, top-notch service, so everyone should definitely go! 😜

Nice restaurant, but I definitely wouldn't recommend the doner kebab here.

We were at the restaurant today and received a very warm welcome. For starters, we had delicious warm bread with two dips. The food and drinks arrived very quickly and were absolutely delicious! I highly recommend it! At the end, we were even given a complimentary coffee. Everyone was very friendly, and the food was 100/100.

Tandir Turkish Restaurant in Cologne offers outstanding quality. The dishes are fresh, aromatic, and authentic, especially the grilled specialties and homemade mezze. The service is attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere is pleasant and inviting. The value for money is excellent. Highly recommended for anyone looking for superb Turkish cuisine.

Super friendly staff and delicious food, you feel very comfortable there. I can highly recommend it, everything was top-notch :)

I can highly recommend it to everyone, whether with family or friends. The atmosphere is lovely, there's seating both indoors and on the terrace for smokers, it's a very child-friendly restaurant, and the staff is always friendly, kind, and helpful. A heartfelt thank you to Burak and Doğan. Breakfast and dinner are excellent.

Very nice, friendly atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food

We ate at Tandir restaurant last night before our visit to the town hall. It was a rather spontaneous decision, without any great expectations. We were truly delighted. The hospitality began as soon as we entered the restaurant and continued throughout our meal. The food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended! ☺️👍🏼

Very friendly staff, clean restaurant.

Quality, good service, friendly and delicious food, I am satisfied with Mustafa Deniz, a restaurant where you can eat anytime.

Tandir bread is highly recommended.

Best Adana dürüm I've had in Cologne! I'll definitely be back for Tavuk Sis & more.

Today we enjoyed breakfast at Tandir for the first time. We were totally surprised by the wide variety of choices. There was so much to try! Our only suggestion would have been signs at the buffet so we could see what we were eating if we weren't familiar with the food. As we were leaving, the lunch rush was already starting; it smelled so good that we'll definitely be back, but next time for lunch or dinner.

We went for the buffet breakfast, and it was okay, but the place definitely needs a new music playlist. It makes no sense to have breakfast with arabesque songs in the morning. Also, the restroom was very dirty, which made us think about the overall cleanliness of the restaurant. I hope the kitchen is clean.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. If you're in Mülheim and fancy Turkish or Middle Eastern cuisine and want an alternative to Keupstraße, go here.

Delicious and fresh, definitely worth a visit.

It was beautiful; it was right next to the hotel. We ate here every day. We came back at night and made a baklava sequence with tea.

During our one-day trip to Cologne, we opted for the kebab menu for dinner, and it was delicious. We were so pleased we went back the next morning for the Turkish breakfast we'd been craving. Everything was wonderful, including unlimited tea and an open buffet for 13.90. The place is also open late, which is a rare find in Europe.

Very tasty food and good service!

I can't recommend this place. I had a mixed grill. It starts with bread without any sauce. The bread is warm but not freshly baked; it's too hard for that. After asking if they also offer sauces for the bread with a mixed grill, I got some. The Adana in the grill is very fatty, as is the small piece of cutlet. There are only two small pieces of kuzu, although the chicken was okay. Cold rice and cold bulgur and a very meager salad. All of that for €25, unfortunately, I didn't like it. I'd rather go a little further to Keupstrasse and eat a delicious grill there. The staff didn't care whether I liked it when I left, and they didn't offer any tea either.

Our visit last Friday evening was unfortunately very disappointing. Even though the restaurant was busy, that didn't justify having to wait over an hour for our main courses. The service was inattentive throughout our entire visit – it took a long time before anyone responded to us in a halfway appropriate manner. My friend then received the wrong dish, my main course was partially cold, and when we complained, they initially discussed whether a discount was even justified – instead of simply handling the situation professionally. We weren't charged for the drinks in the end, but unfortunately, that didn't make the experience much better. The food was okay, but nothing special. So this was our first and last visit.

We walked in right before closing and still got a tasty meal with super friendly service. The charcoal grilled durum is excellent

I highly recommend the brunch buffet, and it's also very reasonably priced. I'd go back anytime.

Very good food, friendly and fast service. We've been there twice, both visits were very successful, I recommend it.

We were there for breakfast. The buffet was very small compared to other Turkish buffets. We were very disappointed. The floor was very slippery; I don't want to know how many people have slipped there.

Family atmosphere, top service, clean, I went for breakfast, I enjoyed it, and above all not expensive, I recommend 100%.

We were in Cologne on a trip and visited this fantastic restaurant three times. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I highly recommend it.

There is enough choice for everyone, so we enjoy it every time and can only recommend it 👍✌️

Superb restaurant. Great service, unique atmosphere, and delicious food.

Highly recommended! The food was delicious! The service was impeccable. I'd be happy to go back anytime!

Despite being completely full, great service and delicious food. Better than expected

The service was very good today. Keep it up 😀

Very delicious food at the restaurant. I especially like the bread, which is always served as a starter with some kaymak and honey.

Great atmosphere, but I personally didn't find the food that good. There are definitely better restaurants.

Hi everyone, I absolutely loved it, the service was fantastic, and everything arrived in no time. Highly recommended! ☺️

Very friendly staff, we immediately felt at home and received a brief introduction to the delicious breakfast buffet. We both gorged ourselves, yet the plates looked completely different, which shows just how much choice there is here. We'd be happy to return :))

The food was delicious and fresh, and the staff was extremely friendly. The atmosphere was cozy—we'll definitely be back!

An incredibly cozy restaurant with super delicious food! The staff is warm, attentive, and very helpful. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality – please keep it up!

Burak and Burcu were very attentive. I definitely recommend it. It makes you feel like you are in Türkiye.

My sister Burcu took very good care of us, she is very kind, thank you very much, the place is also wonderful 😎😎

Best store, thanks to all the staff!

The service is great, everything is delicious, I definitely recommend it.

We came here for breakfast, which was already excellent. A generous buffet with lots of choices. After the fair, we came here for dinner. Everything was top-notch here, too. We ordered the mixed grill and an appetizer.

We were briefly in Cologne and were extremely hungry. The service was top-notch, the food was top-notch, and of course, the atmosphere was top-notch. Burak was the best waiter.

Food, price, value, taste: TOP Burak served us excellently. We'll be back next time!

Delicious food and great service! I went back the next evening and would have loved to try everything.

Highly recommended, very good food and damn tasty 😋😋😋

I want the recipe of the tandoori I ate.

I came from Dusseldorf, I did a Google search, I found the tandoor restaurant, I went and I liked it very much, the service was superb, the waiter Burak Bey was especially friendly and the service was perfect, I would also like to thank him. I recommend it to everyone.

Always very warm and super delicious!

Wow, what a treat! The food and the service were all top-notch. We had a grilled platter and every piece of meat was cooked to perfection! We'll definitely be back.

It is one of the beautiful places where the place is beautiful and spacious, the staff is polite and well-behaved, the service is excellent without making you wait too long, it is located in the same place where the Köln Mülheim wine platinum is located, it is one of the most beautiful places that everyone can go to, I thank them.

Great shop. Very hospitable. The food is delicious. I would recommend it to everyone.

Tandir Restaurant in Cologne is highly recommended. We ate there on two different days and had a variety of dishes. See pictures. All the dishes were superbly prepared – Kuzu Sis, Karisik Kizartma, Sigara Böregi, and other dishes.

We were pleasantly surprised by the restaurant, especially by the cozy ambiance and friendly staff. The restaurant stands out from other Turkish restaurants with its delicious food. The service is clean, our requests are catered for, and the value for money is excellent. If you're near Cologne, I highly recommend this restaurant! You won't be disappointed!

One of my absolute favorite places when it comes to food. The food is simply delicious – the meat is perfectly seasoned, the bread is still warm, and the sides are also top-notch. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere is truly cozy. It's the perfect place to end the day in a relaxed manner. Please keep it up!

I celebrated my birthday dinner here with around 30 people, and it was simply perfect! ❤️ The food was fresh, delicious, and very authentic; everything from the appetizers to the main courses was top-notch. 🤩 The team was super friendly, attentive, and well-organized, so everything went smoothly for our large group. The ambiance is also modern and cozy; we all felt very comfortable. Thank you for the wonderful evening; we'll definitely be back!

We dined at the "Tandir" not far from Keupstraße for the first time yesterday, and it definitely won't be our last. A truly pleasant atmosphere and staff who are happy to accommodate any special requests. We even got a complimentary tea to round off the meal.

Very tasty food and friendly service!

Super delicious food, very friendly staff! Highly recommended.

We ate at Tandir today. It was perfect. The starters and main course tasted perfect. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. We'd love to come back, but we'd have to drive 500km each way (one way)☺️

A culinary masterpiece... Upon entering the restaurant, you're greeted by a warm, stylish atmosphere that immediately makes you want to spend a special evening. The service is impeccably attentive, warm, yet unobtrusive. Every dish on the menu is a work of artisanal precision. Each course is presented like a small work of art, perfectly balanced in flavor and with surprising nuances that linger in the memory. That's what I call a new level of enjoyment. 5 stars well deserved 👍🏼✨

I spontaneously went to the Tandir today and planned to eat a Dürüm with a chicken skewer for my Tik Tok channel. Then I have to give it an honest review. I sat down and ordered Dürüm and a water. There were four other people in the restaurant besides me. My Dürüm came after about 25 minutes. The first bite: not seasoned! Cold Dürüm, how can the chicken that has just been grilled be cold?????? I unfortunately did not give it back so as not to create more work for the chef in the heat. The middle-aged waiter not once came to me and didn't ask if it tasted good or if I wanted another drink!!! He was completely absent, not a glance, nothing!!!!! I asked a colleague behind the counter to call the waiter for the bill. It took her to call him! He came and said the amount! No question as to whether everything was OK, there was nothing! I said: sorry but if I can complain about something: everything was ice cold! Dürüm and chicken. No seasoning, taste, a disappointment. He just said: ohh ok, turned around instead of apologizing, nothing. I stood up and he had Sütlac in his hand without a tray and wanted to give it to me. In professional service you never carry cutlery to the tables on foot, which I unfortunately saw there too! I know where his hands were! Just grabbed a table with a knife in his hand and a fork! I give it a grade of 6! Disaster! Service just not customer-friendly, I would have liked to have had a cold Coke but the waiter was nowhere to be seen! An absolute catastrophe and I will be happy to share my personal opinion of this experience on Tik Tok and Instagram! Never again!

The kellepaça soup was truly excellent. It was the first time I'd eaten such a delicious soup in Germany.

Very nice staff, great grill plates and Turkish specialties but especially the lamb chops were super tender and in my opinion the best in all of Cologne

A very nice restaurant. We come here regularly for breakfast. If you make a reservation, you get a table straight away without waiting. The buffet selection is excellent and varied.

Highly recommended! Very fresh and delicious food, friendly service that's both unobtrusive and attentive! Just as it should be! If I'm ever in Cologne again, I'll definitely be back!

I LOVED THE LAVAS! This place is amazing! We ate here twice for dinner since our first time was great. The food here is amazingly seasoned and delicious. What we ate was hot and grilled which was so good.

The food is delicious and the service is always super friendly

Truly fantastic! We received the best service we've had in a restaurant in a long time. There was bread on the house, delicious food, and even a free final cup of tea. You don't see that very often these days. Courteous and incredibly friendly, we'd go back anytime.

Very tasty food, top service, will be back

The best restaurant. Mr. Burak is very, very nice, and the service is excellent; I've rarely experienced anything like it! 100% recommended

Super delicious, perfect service, if you have the chance, definitely eat here👍

Super delicious food and best service

Great food, great service, great people.

We had a wonderful meal and felt completely at home. The service was great and friendly, and the food tasted fantastic!

Raki fish service everything is perfect I will come again

The service and food were outstanding. Thank you very much.

The food was incredibly delicious and the staff and service were friendly and attentive. Overall, it had a really nice vibe. I can only recommend it!

The most honest shop, super delicious food, and the friendliest staff—the best address in Cologne!

Best service I've ever experienced. Thanks for the lovely evening 😍

The staff is friendly, the food is delicious, and the place is truly hygienic and clean. I don't think there's anything better than this. Definitely go and eat. The prices are also very reasonable.

Very good food. Friendly service.

Super service super service danke

We went there for breakfast and were very satisfied with the service and the breakfast. We definitely recommend it!

Great breakfast buffet! We'll be back again and again.

The pide was poorly seasoned. It completely lacked flavor. I wouldn't recommend it. Edit: Someone reported this review for defamation, but it's clearly not the case. Get our shit fixed.

The grilled platter for two at the tandoori grill was fantastic – juicy, flavorful, and plentiful. Baran's service was absolutely top-notch: warm, fast, attentive, and genuinely passionate. I've rarely experienced such a dedicated waiter! Thanks to Baran, the evening was unforgettable – we'll definitely be back.

Very tasty food and great service

We were there for breakfast, everything was great, the staff were very friendly and I would go there again and again.

Went to tandir for breakfast, everything was great and delicious, staff very friendly, I would go there again and again.

I was at the Tandir again, everything tasted great and the staff was very nice, I would go there again and would recommend it to others

Quite a nice ambiance. Unfortunately, the service was a complete disaster – our order wasn't taken until we had to wait about half an hour. Then it took another hour for the food to be served.
