Tava Restaurant und Cafe in Essen

Simply wow, we tried the grilled meat today and it was a real highlight. We'll definitely be back.

First visit, which certainly wasn't the last Great food, very nice, friendly and attentive service!

Great restaurant, great and above-average quality food. The prices correspond to the quality. Service is perfect, hospitality is valued here. Top restaurant for Mediterranean food.

Restaurant Tava is simply unbeatable! The main reason it's so fun to eat here is the great service. The staff is not only friendly, but also incredibly attentive and immediately makes you feel at home. No matter whether you just stop by for a quick snack or enjoy a hearty meal - the atmosphere is always pleasant, the food is excellent and the service is top notch. It's precisely restaurants like these that make the difference and invite you to come back again and again

It's a very nice restaurant, the food is delicious, the meat is as big as a whale.

Very tasty and very nice staff.

Super friendly and very tasty ❤️

A restaurant we have been coming to with pleasure for months. Mr. Murat, whom we always look up to, is the number one waiter in Germany. The food is very delicious, especially the salads are very fresh. We can also easily access Beylerbeyi raki, which is not available in every restaurant. The atmosphere is great, the importance they give to cleanliness and the friendliness of the staff make our dinner more enjoyable. I definitely recommend it to those coming.

A distinguished restaurant that we love to visit frequently. The service, food, staff, everything is perfect. I don't know how many times we've come here, but I've never been disappointed, everything is always attentive and delicious. I gladly recommend it. Especially the waiter Mr. Murat is very attentive and friendly. If there were 100 stars I would give it 😊

I fell in love today! In the food, in the hospitality and the value for money. I'll forward it to my friends and put a post in the story. You definitely deserve more customers! Keep it up! Until next time 🥰✌🏾

A real highlight! The food was incredibly tasty, fresh and perfectly prepared. The service was attentive and warm, so you felt completely comfortable. The atmosphere invites you to enjoy – simply perfect for a lovely evening. Absolutely recommended, I would love to come back!

Very tasty food full of nice staff Only recommend 🥰

We went to eat anchovies and it was terrible. My friend told me to grill the chicken. The room was very bad. There was the same dirty grill smell in all of them. We couldn't eat it. There was also hair in the tea. It was the first and last time for me. I would not recommend it to anyone.

I only picked up my food that I ordered from to good to go but the service was great, not just my food It was freshly cooked no I got a tea for the waiting time and if that wouldn't have been great during this time no I also got a discount on a regularly bought meal also because I was waiting, great where else can you get something like that. I'll be back.

I am completely satisfied and can only recommend the restaurant!

Very tasty food, Selection is very good, Ambience great

Very nice service, delicious food at a fair price :)

Absolutely great! I will definitely come back and recommend it to anyone who wants to experience authentic Turkish cuisine of the best quality.

We had a lovely team evening and the Tava team looked after us perfectly, there were over 30 of us. The food was very tasty and the Tava team was super friendly. We will be happy to come back

We were there today with our women's group. Great service, great food, highly recommended. Was there for the first time today and I will definitely visit there more often

We came upon my wife's recommendation. I can say that it is the best of all decent restaurants in terms of taste, ambiance, quality and price. Add to this the friendliness of the employees, there is no other option but to recommend it. Congratulations 🍾

The kebab plate was simply amazing. Perfectly grilled meat, tender and spicy, with fresh salad. Every ingredient was top and the portions left nothing to be desired. Highly recommended

It tasted great, well seasoned, and a quiet atmosphere

The staff was super nice and the food was also a 10/10

Very tasty food with top service

They took great care of us. The food was very tasty and I can highly recommend this place. Gladly again and again

Very courteous service. Very tasty food. We were there as a group and everyone was happy. Gladly again.

When you entered you noticed it was a fancy shop. Super nice atmosphere, well received, starter tasted great as well as dessert. The waiter was super friendly and helpful. After the meal, tea was also offered on the house, I can only recommend the mentally ill shop and everything was bomb, I'm impressed.

I had the pleasure of visiting this wonderful restaurant and loved it from start to finish! The atmosphere is cozy and stylish, perfect for a relaxed evening. The staff was extremely friendly, attentive and served us with a smile. I was particularly impressed by the attention to detail - from the welcome to the presentation of the dishes. The food was simply sensational! Every course was a taste experience – perfectly prepared and with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I would particularly like to highlight [the grill plate], which was a highlight both visually and in terms of taste. The price-performance ratio is also right: every cent is justified for the quality and service. I can fully recommend this restaurant and am already looking forward to my next visit. Thank you for the great evening!

Nice, clean restaurant with nice and polite service. Food good and tasty.

In short: simply recommended. Everything was fine. The best restaurant in and around for sure.

Simply top! The dishes were very high quality and tasty. The staff was also very friendly. And the interior was great.

seasonal dishes something for every taste. Friendly service and a perfect atmosphere for dining. A visit is worth it.

Very very very good meat and delicious dessert top. The furnishings were also extremely nice and I can only recommend it

Whether the service, ambience or even the food, they were simply 1A. The food is very high quality and also very affordable. Service was also great and we were warmly welcomed. There is also a very relaxed atmosphere. That's why the restaurant gets a clear 5/5 from me

The food is of very good quality and the staff are very friendly. Further to recommend.

I recommend it to everyone, try it out and enjoy a nice stay.. see you again soon 👍👍👍

My wife and I found this restaurant through Too Good To Go and had a very good meal there. It was very tasty and delicious. The first impression was very good and left nothing to be desired, the restaurant was very clean, the staff was extremely friendly. We decided to go out to eat there so we could try out and get to know the other dishes. The initial skepticism gave way to the deliciousness of the food and the friendliness of the restaurant's personality. You should know everything else for yourself

Good selection of dishes, everything I've ordered so far has been tasty and juicy. The service was friendly and accommodating, the atmosphere was very pleasant. Definitely recommended.

Very very tasty food. The meat is tender and fried to perfection. Very nice staff and a quiet and pleasant atmosphere. We've been here many times, but after reopening it seems better than ever. See you next week.

Tip top! Very courteous service, delicious food, well suited for a sociable dinner with friends or colleagues.

Really a great restaurant with delicious food!

Great food, staff and ambience.

Once again very happy with everything...

Kitchen top, service good. Ambience okay

A great restaurant, always a pleasure 😊

Ordered the mixed grill, and while most of the items were tasty, the portion sizes were smaller compared to other nearby restaurants. Additionally, despite a sign at the entrance stating that all types of card payments are accepted, I was told they only accept cash when it came time to pay. There is an ATM just outside, but it’s not from my bank, so withdrawal fees apply. It was also inconvenient to leave, withdraw money, and return just to settle the bill.

I had dinner there with friends today. It was very, very tasty and the service was great. We'll be back.

Had a team meal from work here, service was very friendly and accommodating, starters and main courses were excellent. A very nice evening!

Tava Restaurant – A livable place to feel good! Tava Restaurant is truly a place where you immediately feel welcome and at home! The family atmosphere is unique - the bosses and their children create an environment that is characterized by warmth and genuine hospitality. You immediately feel accepted, as if you were part of their family. The cleanliness of the restaurant is impressive – so spotless that you could almost eat off the floor. This attention to detail is reflected not only in the ambience, but also in the quality of the food. I'm really grateful to have found Tava. Coming here makes life more beautiful and valuable. I'm always happy to be here again. Kind regards to the whole team – you are great! Best regards Dilek Eken

Great food Great service Great location Great for families! There is nothing more to say!! Keep up the good work, highly recommended!

Delicious and wonderful food And friendly staff

We were there for a birthday dinner. 14 people, a considerable bill! Zero service, in response to our comment that the rice was unsalted and overcooked, the waitress commented: well, tastes are different. A rotten salad that was also not seasoned at all. Definitely never again. It's a shame, it used to be a good restaurant with good food

We had dinner with the family at TAVA today. All the dishes were excellently prepared, the staff was very friendly and fulfilled all wishes. The prices are justified for the high quality of the dishes. We will be eating here more often in the near future.

Everything was very nice, I recommend it

I give this store all 5 stars from the food, staff to cleanliness, everything is great. Celebrated my brother's birthday today and can highly recommend the food and the friendly staff to all of you. We were all extremely satisfied. If I could I would even give more stars. I look forward to my next visit with you. 😊

Best restaurant in Altendorf Always a culinary delight Highly recommended!

very tasty fresh food. As always not disappointed. If you want a nice atmosphere with delicious food, this is the place for you! In addition, the toilets are very clean!! Best regards

Great restaurant. Ambiance is very nice. The service friendly and attentive. The food tastes excellent. I can only recommend.

Great restaurant. Ambiance is very nice. The service friendly and attentive. The food tastes excellent. I can only recommend.

Very nice clean restaurant. We all enjoyed the food too. The dish Adana Kebap was delivered on a hot lava stone. This meant you could enjoy the hot meal in peace and quiet.

I can say that it is one of the addresses of the restaurants in Essen/Altendorf for quality service and food, it is a nice place for breakfast (spread) or other meals 👍 If you are lucky, you can find a parking space on the road or in a side street.

Very friendly, family atmosphere, the food prepared quickly and tasty

This is an incredible place and incredibly delicious

A very beautifully designed restaurant in the middle of Altendorf. Great ambience. Warm atmosphere and super friendly owners and staff. We were there on a Thursday lunchtime, so there wasn't much going on. The food was very tasty and visually appealing. Everything perfectly seasoned and prepared. We had a grill twller for two people. The starter dips were delicious and the flatbread was warm and fluffy. A small salad on the side. The grilled meat came to the table sizzling hot. Different sorts. Plus rice. Everything tasted excellent.

Super nice people and nice food. You can definitely spend time here without any worries. Thank you!

The Tava is a very nice cozy restaurant. The food is enchantingly good, especially the salad :) and meat dishes. We are regular guests at Tava. The food is not comparable to other restaurants we have eaten at. The food makes you more than full. The prices are more than worth it for the wonderful food and nice waiters. I would recommend it again and again and am already looking forward to the next visit :)

As the saying goes, “first impressions count” and we were warmly welcomed and welcomed at the Tava Restaurant. After a long day at work, my friends and I noticed this nice restaurant. The food is very, very good, the employees were all very nice and friendly, and we were also able to get to know the boss. Be brave and try out the restaurant. We have lived in this city for 20 years and regret that we have only now become aware of it. See you next time Best regards 😃👋

It was very tasty and moderately priced. Friendly staff.

Tava is called a pan in Turkish, interesting name, I like it. About the dishes that come to the table 😀 and what I experienced. Tava Restaurant in Essen is a journey into Mediterranean culinary cuisine from Turkey. For everyone who values ​​and pays attention to clean and good kitchen quality, I am happy to recommend it. A delight for the palate. I liked it. I will probably go there more often and with pleasure. There are many dishes to choose from, a wide, balanced repertoire of different dishes that is suitable for getting to know and enjoying. Good ambience, I am sure that it will be a pleasure for every guest to experience and get to know this restaurant. Good and friendly service. I can recommend it with a clear conscience. Have fun and enjoy your meal

Yes, definitely recommended, everything is fresh and super tasty

Thank you for eating for 80 people for lunch today, kind regards Kahraman

The service and cleanliness of the restaurant are positive, which will be another reason why we would come here and avoid the other restaurants on this street. The food wasn't of the best quality, but it was good. Unfortunately, the veal, for example, was very tough and lava bread could be served with a grill skewer in the future.

From A to Z everything is the finest. Super tasty… Great service… celebrated my son's birthday there. All our wishes were fulfilled. It was a perfect evening thanks to the great team. And still cheap. Go there without hesitation

Food and service was very good, portions were also very good. One of the best restaurants would go there again ♡

I think this is the best restaurant in Essen. The employees are so nice and the food tastes great. I always like to eat Turkish-style chicken tava here with rice and you should try it too if you love it too. I don't normally write a review like this, but the restaurant and its staff deserve it.

Everything was great, the price-performance ratio was excellent Service staff very friendly and accommodating Food very tasty and decent portions

The food was very tasty. The service was very attentive.

We had dinner there yesterday with several friends. Large portions very nicely prepared and tasty. The service was super friendly and attentive. We liked it. Great go on.

I didn't like it at all, I ordered iskender with my wife which was no iskender for us, large pieces of lamb. I would have imagined something different

Bugün arkadaşımla iftara geldik. Yemekler and kesinlikle service 10/10. Memnun kaldik. Kesinlikle yine gelmeyi düşünüyoruz ve herkese tavsiye ederiz. We came to break the fast today. It was all really nice. From the food to the service. We will definitely come back here. The waiter who served us was very friendly, polite and was always there if we needed anything. In between we were also asked if everything was okay etc. We were also offered tea. We would love to come back here.

We were there for iftar and waited for 1 hour for our food, which was a disaster

Die Leute sind freundlich und das Essen ist sehr lecker. The staff is respectful, the food is friendly, I recommend it

Very clean store, great atmosphere

Had a really great evening with the family. High-quality restaurant, delicious food, the service is humane and super friendly. And also inexpensive for the quality. Thanks!! One of the best restaurants in the Ruhr area when it comes to Turkish food. We will be back!!

My fiancé and I were pretty hungry after baby shopping and googled for well-rated restaurants nearby. We decided on the Tava and didn't regret it. We were there for the first time and can only leave positive feedback. The service, the ambience and the food are a dream. We'd love to come back! But this time with the whole family. The prices are more than justified for the quality of the ingredients. The food was also very nicely prepared. Always my pleasure!

Cozy restaurant with delicious food and super nice service. We would like to come again.

The first impression is rather positive, the restaurant was well filled when I visited and the atmosphere was relaxed. The bread that was served with the starter tasted a solid 8 out of 10. By the way, the starter wasn't disappointing either and was enjoyable with the bread. Unfortunately the main course did not live up to the standard of the starter. My chicken plate was dry and only tasted a 5 out of 10. It had clearly been in the heat for too long. Unfortunately I can't say the same about the rice because it was cold. I'm hesitant to try the main courses again, but I think everyone deserves a second chance. As a snack, for a small or even a big hunger, I would visit the restaurant again for the bread and the starter.

Very tasty food. Great team and good service. We felt good all around. Thanks

The food tastes very, very good. The service and the ambience are simply great. Very accommodating and just friendly 👍 What I can definitely recommend… Tavuk Saç Tava and Curry Chicken. I would come back anytime 👍

I celebrated my birthday there today and was there for the first time. The service is top notch, Murat Bey in particular was very helpful and attentive. He surprised us with a nice birthday gesture. The food was mediocre.

The food and service were really great. One of the best Turkish restaurants I've had the pleasure of visiting. I can really recommend it.

We were warmly welcomed and felt comfortable throughout. The food was fresh, rich and tasted very well. We'd love to come back.

Very tasty food from the charcoal grill. Large portions and delicious bread with very tasty dips as a starter.
