Ton Bul Grill- und Kebap-Haus in Frankfurt am Main

Ton Bul Döner in Frankfurt generally offers good kebabs, but the quality varies noticeably from day to day. Sometimes it's really tasty and juicy, sometimes it's rather average. Still, a solid choice if you're nearby—and with a bit of luck, a real treat.

Bread was very tasty, but I didn't like the meat

I'm really disappointed with my last experience with Ton Bul. After a long time, I wanted to give the store, which I actually had fond memories of, another chance. Unfortunately I was bitterly disappointed. I ordered a standard kebab with everything and garlic sauce, what I got was a huge bread with hardly any meat, a carelessly thrown salad and a bit of sauce for decoration. I don't claim to be able to eat a lot, but this kebab didn't fill me up at all. The first one was pure bread. The whole thing seemed like a bad joke. I felt really ripped off. Really a shame.

Very disrespectful and very rude service. We weren't even asked what sauce we wanted. They just make standard kebab and don't you say anything, you almost get thrown out

Unfortunately, the service was lousy, you couldn't even configure your “döner kebab” yourself, you only got a finished product. The vegetarian option is reminiscent of an antipasti plate in flatbread - it has little to do with a kebab. There were free pickles and pepperoni, which is a plus! If you want a good kebab, you've come to the wrong place.

Honestly, the food here is totally overhyped. To me the whole thing seems more like mass fodder for society at large. The meat appears stretched, with a lot of fat - especially when I see how it is served. The seating inside is extremely cramped, there is hardly any room to sit or get in and out. As for the quality: I really don't understand the hype. I've eaten much better kebabs - both in terms of taste and overall feeling. You just can't get any peace and quiet in that store! Never again thx.

Service sucks, there is no system, the food is perfectly OK

The food was very tasty and arrived within a short time. I would love to come back for the kebab

Best kebab 10/10 Update: (11/1/22) Since the price increase from 7 to 10 EUR, I had to adjust my review accordingly. The kebab should cost a maximum of EUR 8.50 Anything above it is usury. Update: (February 16, 2023) One star more because the quality has improved and since the price increase there has been less pressure so more attention is paid to the preparation of the food. Update: (08.01.2024) The kebab is a 10/10. In addition, the opening times have been extended.

Not recommended!!! We had three dishes and none of them tasted good. The salad had no sauce. If you couldn't give any stars, everything would be 0 stars.

Underground - Dürüm kebab with garlic sauce comes dry, without sauce, no salt, Dürüm bread dry and tough, meat fat and stringy, Iskender kebab with over-salted tomato sauce and meat also stringy with a lot of fat - considering the many good Turks in the Zeil around the corner, a total failure...

For me it's definitely one of the best kebabs in Germany. What an experience, very good bread, perfect meat and great service. The older gentleman brought us cucumbers and pepperoni. That's how she gets it. Everyone is very friendly and the organization is great, it's quick and the cuts are always fresh, the bread is baked piece by piece. As I said, clearly 1st place with the well-known ones from Bonn and Gelsenkirchen. Frankfurt can count itself lucky! And to the team, thank you for your effort!

There is no politeness at all, since it is in a tourist area, they do not prepare food to a good standard

The first time I had diarrhea but I wasn't sure if it was because of Tonbull, but yesterday I had to throw up Everything came out again and I was sweating.

Super tasty kebab, the vegetarian one is also highly recommended!

Was almost a regular customer but the last 3 times were a disaster - the kebab has no taste anymore. Staff and cleanliness was great but unfortunately the food will no longer be there. It's a shame.

Since I was nearby, I wanted to try it. Visually very good. Unfortunately the bread is too much. If it were a little thinner it would be better in my opinion. The meat is good. Price moderately too much for the quantity. It looks like a lot because the bread is long but it is well distributed. If I'm nearby I'd love to come back.

For €10 you get a large portion of kebab. However, the meat wasn't really convincing (cartilage etc. found in the kebab). Seating is limited as you can only eat outside.

Nice shop, pretty good kebab, but nothing more. Bread quite hard, meat very rubbery and sometimes tough, you can eat it, but you don't have to have it a second time, Frankfurt clearly has more to offer. The atmosphere in the whole store was also very strange, not really hospitable.

Doner kebab costs 10 euros but is also very big. Meat, salad and sauce are good. The flatbread is homemade but unfortunately it is too firm. Therefore only 3 stars.

Excellent, very good food, large portion and good price

Unfortunately, we are disappointed as a family today! We heard about its reputation and came here on a whim, but we never found what we expected. It was both expensive and tasteless, first of all, their meat was never kebab meat, it was extremely oily and tasteless, their bread was not as praised, the rice was mushy and tasteless, we paid 80€ for 5 people, but we were not satisfied, or rather, we could not eat it. We do not plan to go there again, this was the first and last time... As a result, we never recommend it.👎👎👎

Tonbul is and remains Frankfurt's best kebab. You can argue about the price, but for the quantity and quality delivered it is absolutely fair. Whether lahmacun, pide or kebab, everything is freshly prepared and tastes simply great. Service and ambience are also great.

So we had a great experience here. Sure kebab is a bit more expensive but also of high quality

I absolutely don't understand the reviews. Went there yesterday and it was great. It costs 10 euros but hey what a deal. For others that would be 2-3 kebabs. I can only recommend it.

I ate there at 4:30 at night. Never again at night, it was sore. Dry.

Large kebab for 10 euros, tastes good.

hands down best kebab I had in my life, super recommended. the portions are very big

Very good kebab, although there is always a lot going on, it is really worth it. The meat is very tender, you can also eat it without sauce. Brilliant

Dirty tables, under the tables full of leftover pieces of food which is very disgusting and ruins your appetite, no service but the main thing is expensive prices, the meat and salad tasted good, but the bread from dürüm and kebab was much too hard to bite,

How to Completely Ruin a Doner Kebab – A Masterclass Having a bad day? Heartbreak, bankruptcy, the end of the world? Hold my baguette – this doner kebab takes the cake. I thought I'd order something delicious. What I got was a tragic attempt at imitating a dish that probably only comes from myths and yellowed cookbooks. Let's start with the "bread." Flatbread? No, that would have been too good. Instead, I was handed a tasteless baguette – not a bite, but an insult. It was neither crispy nor soft, just there. As if a piece of air had been baked into bread dough. Flavor-wise? A culinary ghost town. Even a cardboard box would have had more character. Sauce? Supposedly, it was supposed to exist. Maybe it was served in another doner kebab, but mine didn't look like it. If anything, there was a tiny, symbolic drop of sauce that could only have been found with a microscope and a lot of imagination. Onions? A bad joke. Three transparent, sad threads that probably came from another life. Tomatoes? Haha. I think they were simply ignored during the grocery store. Or they're still on the way. In any case: none. And then the highlight: the meat. If you can even call it that. Lumpy, fatty pieces that looked like pressed-together leftovers from the day before. Barely seasoned, chewy, and so full of fat that I briefly thought I'd eaten a block of butter. Every bite was like a slap in the face to my palate. This kebab wasn't a meal—it was a test. An experience. A culinary downward spiral. I didn't eat—I suffered. Conclusion: If you hate yourself or desperately need a reminder why you shouldn't eat everything called a "kebab," here you go. The answer is: Everyone else: Avoid this place like a wet towel in the gym locker room.

Good quality in itself, but the meat is cut too early, so it still looks like rubber meat and is not crispy. The bread is delicious, homemade and the vegetables were also very fresh.

Very very very bad kebab compared to before very very very very bad and very small positions little meat

It's so bad, I want to give it a zero. Unfortunately not possible. I also have to say that the kebab tastes absolutely bad and has nothing to do with the classic kebab... I want my €26 back but luckily I didn't pay.

Great atmosphere, you can get to know great people!

I've tried many kebabs in Frankfurt, but this one can't be beat! Perfectly seasoned and super tasty every time. I'll definitely be back!

They made faces because I went there yesterday and gave them change. After I finished, I saw that there was hair tangled in the lettuce inside the paper, I showed it to the gentleman at the cash register, he took the paper, crumpled it up and threw it away. No apologies, no excuses, nothing. I won't go and I'll tell those who go. I ate hairy-haired doner kebab for 10 euros. Unfortunately, this is not what it means to be a manager.

Easy best kebab in town. Super advised!

The store was even better at the old location. Unfortunately, now it is simply a mass production where the employees themselves lose track of who paid and what ordered. At first they didn't want to give us one of the kebabs we ordered (and paid for) because someone else apparently took it from the beginning. We first had to have a nice discussion with the employees about the fact that it was hardly our fault that someone else took the kebab just because they didn't have an overview. Luckily we got it after a while. Unfortunately, the quality of the ingredients has also deteriorated significantly compared to before. No more Tonbul for me. Very unfortunate.

It used to be a really top kebab shop. Has deteriorated significantly, prices are no longer fair and the meat is inferior. Lots of raw pieces and cartilage included. I recently had stomach problems and diarrhea from it...

By far the worst kebab we have eaten. We had two kebab plates, each with rice and fries, and one Iskender. The meat was gristly, fatty and tough and absolutely over-seasoned. The Iskender was dripping with fat, the pieces of bread weren't crispy but were soaked in the fat. The tomato sauce tasted like all sorts of spices. Hunger and the high prices had to drive some of the food away. Didn't finish the food and had it packed up out of politeness. Furthermore, after the visit we all smelled like grease. Super unpleasant and actually typical of snack bars. No card payment possible, this is no longer appropriate these days. All in all, I can't recommend this store. I don't want to offend anyone and with all due respect, it seems to me that a lot of emphasis was placed on influencer advertising and little on craftsmanship.

Just a dream. Very very tasty and the staff are very friendly

Best kebab in downtown Frankfurt.

This kebab shop used to be a real institution for me - so good that I ate there twice a week. Even when the hype came and the price was raised to €10, I could still understand it because the quality at least remained stable. But now the picture has changed completely. Since moving to the new store and the absence of the original owner, the quality has declined massively. I still wanted to give it a fair chance and ate there several times - each time with the same result: digestive problems. At first I thought it was a coincidence or a bad day, but after the third time it was clear to me: Something is no longer right here. It's a shame what this once good kebab shop has become. Unfortunately I can no longer recommend him.

I tried the kebab yesterday and unfortunately found that I didn't like it at all - there were bone pieces in the meat and it was very tough. Unfortunately, the service was also very unfriendly and you could hardly understand anything because they didn't speak German. I paid €13 for a dürüm with a drink and left more than half of the dürüm standing and today I got severe stomach pain with diarrhea. Unfortunately, I can't understand most of the positive reviews here. If you love your health, I think you should eat somewhere else.

more appearance than reality...

It's super busy with the tables full, but jo wonder why, the food is really good and the price accessible, the biggest and Döner Kebab I ever had 10/10

Ton Bul Grill and Kebap House – Full and Satisfied! Thanks to the many recommendations, I finally tried Ton Bul Grill and Kebap House - and yes, it was worth it! The food was delicious and the portions were more than enough, you'll definitely be full. Especially during Ramadan, you should come early and get in line straight away, as reservations are not possible. The concept is self-service, but the staff is still very helpful. Important to know: Only cash payment possible! So if you're looking for good kebab, you should definitely stop by here.

This was the driest kebab I've ever eaten

I celebrate! The kebab meat is really well seasoned and the homemade bread is just perfect. Don't understand the negative reviews! Tonbul always convinces me 👌🏼

Very good service! The price is high, but you get something for your money here! Good quality that also tastes good. Homemade bread, sauce and everything that goes with it. We definitely come here more often.

Great food and great service. Always my pleasure. One of the best kebabs in the Rhine Main area.

Fresh baked bread. Get your Doner here.

Best kebab in ffm! Best service! Thank you very much 🙏🏽

I thought it was delicious :) only the toilets really need to be looked after more!!!

Unfortunately, loading Mega has to get rid of criticism. Doner sandwich very large and commendable, everything mega, but if you order a plate with rice and salad there is less on it than on the sandwich and it is not nice. Above all, there is so little rice underneath the kebab meat that you only notice after a closer look how much rice and kebab meat is on top. It's very unpleasant and I can only ask the manager here to make it better. Otherwise everything was delicious and the service was also very satisfactory.

I always liked to get a kebab here. Unfortunately, food poisoning followed last time. Never again since then.

The meat is good, the bread is delicious, but unfortunately all I tasted was lemon. I'm not used to eating kebab with lemon, especially I said exactly what I wanted in it. That's why I don't understand this overload of lemon... you should at least ask...

The doner baguette was very good, the meat was really good, I really liked the whole combination of the baguette. Service was good, quick and friendly, tables were wiped down after each guest. Unfortunately, the store is quite small and busy, so the store is a bit cramped. But you can definitely recommend it!

Perfect in everything!!!!! I can only recommend it!!!!!

Unfortunately I didn't like it. Doner kebab is big and in a homemade baguette, but the taste is not my cup of tea. Ambiance is zero, cold, loud and there is a draft.

Best kebab in the Rhine Main area

The kebab is very tasty, large and of outstanding quality. Very nice boss and very friendly team.

I was there, the people working were too rude and disinterested, they didn’t look hygienic inside and insisted that they didn’t accept credit cards, they just accepted cash

The meat is simply amazing 🥩 very, very tasty

We came to Frankfurt from Basel and were pointed out this kebab shop. It was an excellent recommendation! The kebab was simply fantastic, the meat perfectly seasoned and incredibly juicy. We ate our fill and the taste was really amazing! Unfortunately there is no such shop in Basel, and we would immediately be regular customers if we were there. Overall, an absolutely recommendable store with top quality. We'd love to come back next time we're in Frankfurt.

Unfortunately one of the worst services I have ever experienced. The seller practically shouts at you when selling and as soon as you ask a question he takes the next one. Not at all customer friendly. I can only recommend everyone to give the store a wide berth.

Lick my sleeve, that's delicious. I'm not a person who follows the hype, so I didn't come across this store until very late after it opened. An employee here recommended this shop to me. We had talked weeks before about which kebab you could still eat in ffm. I recommended some that have existed for over 15 years and have always maintained the same quality. Well, after a few weeks I was hungry after work despite working in the restaurant, so I thought of the recommendation so I quickly drove over and ate on the way home. It was very tasty, fresh bread, fresh side dishes, fresh meat and the people who work there are very respectful and friendly. The owner is still there at night with his employees and works in a very exemplary manner. You can take the pickled cucumbers and peppers yourself from the container as you like, which I think is a very good idea, but who knows if a sick person reaches into them with their unclean hands, this thought alone makes me think a bit, I'd rather have the employees give it to me again, that might be the healthier option just as a tip. If your stomach doesn't react well to yoghurt sauces, then you should leave it out, as I did. Apart from that, original kebab has always been eaten without any cocktail sauces or special sauces or yoghurt. If at all, you can add it to a dish and not on the dish, but everyone can do it as they please. Oh, I also bought a portion of fries, very well baked, fresh oil and fries were crispy as they should be. Definitely delicious any time of day and highly recommended. Thank you very much and keep up the success 👍

At first glance it's delicious bread and meat!!! but my stomach is sick because it's because they don't process the kebab quickly, it's overfilled, it's normal for something like that to happen!!! It's very crowded and it's difficult to eat there with peace and quiet, which is what a picture shows... I like to eat kebab, I won't go there anymore!!

For me it is one of the best in Frankfurt. Everything is very fresh, unfortunately it is always busy and there is little space

Best quality at higher prices than usual. It's worth it. The portions are large

It was very tasty and fresh, the meat was well seasoned and juicy. The bread is homemade, which is also good, but unfortunately it was a bit like pizza roll dough and was tiring for me to chew. Still very tasty with the rocket and fresh lemon. Staff nice! A huge portion for €10.

Amazing quality of doner and very good service!

Best kebab I've had so far. Meat and bread are simply on another level.

Meat just doesn't taste like anything, why do people ask how you want the kebab when everything is done wrong anyway?? Rarely seen something that is so overhyped.

One of the top 5 kebab shops in FFM and the surrounding area!

Very good kebab. Great taste. Very nice service. A little too much bread and not enough meat for my taste, but that's a matter of taste, so it's still 5 stars. A bit tight in the store.

Döner was said to be very famous in Germany. However, I thought there was exaggeration after Turkey. After eating doner at Tombul Hacı Baba, I began to question the doner kebab in Sivas, Ankara and the doner kebab called "yatik doner". The place is small but the service is good. The ratio of doner kebabs and the vegetables inside the doner kebabs are satisfying. It is impossible to find filled bread in Turkey. The sauce in it was not tomato paste like in Turkey. We ate a delicious doner kebab. I can add as a negative that the venue does not accept credit cards. I don't like traveling abroad with too much cash. I prefer to pay for everything by credit card. Bring cash with you when coming to eat.

Came especially from Cologne because of the hype. Ordered veal, got chicken. The taste is okay but nothing more. In my opinion not worth it

Doner tastes quite good. The cashier was very rude!

The quantity is definitely enough, the bread is very good and fresh, but I personally found the meat a bit too fatty where even smaller pieces are fatty. Otherwise it's fine, I thought the pickled cucumbers and pepperoni were good too! The staff is also ok.

Mega strong. Cannot understand the 3.9 stars. The service could be better. The kebab is the best!

I didn't like the falafel at all, it was dry and old. I recommend not eating it. We went because the kebab was recommended - it was filling and tasty, but I had a bit of a stomach ache afterwards. Don't expect a good atmosphere inside - it's a "eat in and go fast" type of place.

Food is good but you feel like the staff are staring at you the whole time. As a woman, this shop is unacceptable!!

I've been to Ton Bul several times now and I have to say the kebab tastes very good, even if you have to pay just under €10 for a kebab, it's worth stopping by every now and then. What shocked me last time is that when you show up as a woman, even with a male companion, you are literally stared at by the employees and obviously people are talking about you. I can't imagine a woman wanting to go there with several men staring her up and down. A friend, among others, also shared this experience, which in my opinion is completely unacceptable!

The visit to this kebab shop was an absolute disappointment. The waiters were unfriendly and seemed annoyed, as if someone had disturbed them with the order. It was also freezing cold in the store because the radiators weren't working - there was no way of feeling comfortable. Even the food couldn't make up for the bad atmosphere. I definitely won't go here again.

So we ate there as a group of 5 and we all had stomach ache afterwards. At first I thought the kebab was tasty but I thought wrong... it took a few days until I recovered.

Sourdough bread! Doner kebab thrives on the unique taste of meat. No need for excessive sauce. 1A portion size. No feeling of heaviness in the stomach afterwards, great!

Delicious food in a very good atmosphere and very good service.

Best kebab in Frankfurt Why? Homemade bread, fresh rocket, lemon squeeze (Also veggie Mega! With vegetables and cheese)

So everything was fine, but the person at the checkout was really so unfriendly for the third time. I don't know what he had, but I personally won't eat there again because of the service. It's not worth it to me

One of the best Doner in the world, not only about the taste but the service and atmosphere exceeded the expectations.. Nazim zadran thanks for your hospitality bro and nice meeting you,,

I didn't like it but the service was great

Food of the highest quality is beyond question. Changeable in taste. Definitely not a classic kebab that should be overloaded with sauces. I don't even recommend any sauces for this kebab "less is more". Unfortunately, it sometimes happens that almost no meat is put into the kebab and that's more than a disgrace for €10! Best kebab in Germany? Probably not, but you should try it. EDIT: Sometimes almost no taste and out of the last 5 times 2 times afterwards gastrointestinal problems. Currently no longer recommended!

The bread and meat were freshly prepared and tasted really great. The store was well attended, which clearly speaks for the quality. The staff were friendly and attentive. Overall, a great place – I’d love to come back!

Unfortunately, the restaurant has clearly declined. When it first opened, the food was really excellent - but unfortunately the quality is no longer the same. I've given the restaurant a try three times recently, but each time I've been disappointed. The meat in particular was far too fatty, which greatly spoiled the enjoyment.

Staff very unfriendly. Processing like on an assembly line. The kebab was much too thin, there was hardly anything in the bread. Paid 10 euros for that, no thanks.

Half a million calories on top of the calories! But very tasty and quick

The best doner ever eat bravo and good luck 🫶🫶🫡🫡

I was there today with my husband because we heard a lot about it on YouTube. We both ordered a kebab plate. This was by far the worst kebab we have ever eaten. Full of chunks of fat and the meat looks like it was cooked. The only thing that was good was the smoke in the meat. We both only tried it 3-4 times and left almost everything behind. It just wasn't edible. It's a shame for the 36€. We will never eat there again.
