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

One of the best donner i had in frankfurt and a great sitting place

Review: I ordered food there and unfortunately experienced a very unpleasant situation. One of the employees cleaned his nose with his hand right in front of me and then immediately handled the food without gloves. I find this very problematic from a hygiene perspective.

It's a very special doner kebab, but it's really good nonetheless. What I like about Tonbul doner is the really pleasant location and the fact that you can watch the baker making the dough. The highlight of the doner, in my opinion, is definitely the sourdough bread. It's a different, fresh flavor with the arugula and freshly squeezed lemon juice, something you could enjoy every now and then. I recommend adding roasted vegetables and feta cheese to the doner as well. Update: Today, neither the doner meat nor the bread was very fresh…

I was surprised by the many negative reviews. I always thought the doner kebab was great, especially with the generous toppings. Today I was almost alone in the shop, and yet the doner was prepared carelessly and, most importantly, poorly layered. The meat was tough and tasted like it had been kept warm. Definitely not an option for the price.

The place isn't big. There are a few seats, but you can tell they're prioritizing maximum capacity over comfort. It's generally quite cramped, and because it's self-service, you have to get up and order at the counter… which, by the way, is also quite small. That's just not my cup of tea. Then there were tons of the typical "boycott brands" like Coke, which I honestly found rather contradictory, especially when words like "Bismillahirrahmanirrahim" (In the name of God) are prominently displayed on the walls. They could easily have offered something like Fritz Kola or Elephant Bay. The food was tasty, but nothing special. I don't eat much meat, but I would have liked a bit more in my dürüm… it felt like 60% salad. On the plus side: The place was generally clean, the food arrived quickly, and the restrooms were surprisingly tidy.

Great service, but the food wasn't the best.

What a shame, greed has totally taken over. 12 € for a döner now, no more free pickles, and still cash-only payment in 2025—unbelievable.

I recently visited Tonbul Dönerhaus in Frankfurt and, unfortunately, I have to say: despite the really good and well-known döner kebab, the visit was disappointing overall. The döner itself was very tasty, but at €12.50 per piece, it was also quite expensive – the price-performance ratio was just about acceptable for me. The service, on the other hand, was truly abysmal. The staff seemed extremely stressed and focused on getting the customers through as quickly as possible. One older employee, in particular, appeared very rushed. He didn't even ask about the sauce and apparently just wanted to "put everything on" to finish faster. My impression was that the main goal was to serve as many people as possible in a short amount of time – quality of service was clearly not a priority. In short: Food was great, service was terrible. It wasn't a pleasant experience for me, and I probably won't be going back there anytime soon.

It's extremely overpriced. Poor value for money.

I was satisfied with the food; it tasted good and was served quickly. However, due to the price increase, I won't be going there anymore; it's simply not worth it.

A delicious and enjoyable place

€10 for a doner kebab with soggy meat? I can fool myself just fine, thank you. I mean... how much profit can you possibly make on a product like that?

Sometimes great, sometimes just okay. Quality fluctuates. Bread is often too hard to chew. Update after numerous visits: Sometimes fresh and a 10 out of 10, sometimes not fresh and a 5 out of 10. Very disappointing! Please maintain the quality and cook the meat thoroughly!

The staff are very friendly, but it's self-service. The portion seemed a bit small for €12. The salad was okay. My extra request for pepperoni was very kindly fulfilled. However, there were some loose stems mixed in, which seemed unnecessary among the pepperoni. The meat was of average quality. There was hardly any sauce. I didn't like lemon with my doner at all, but that's a matter of taste. The staff should ask if you actually want some lemon. I got extra sauce from a woman at the next table, which she had ordered separately. That saved the meal. I could have asked the friendly staff for extra sauce as well. The bread isn't a typical baguette, and it's difficult to eat without spilling or dropping anything. The plate is very small, and they don't give out enough napkins when you order. I did get cutlery and a napkin immediately upon request. You can get extra napkins yourself at the counter, which is definitely a plus. In conclusion, it's an overpriced doner that's only average. The hype is unjustified. I wouldn't eat there again. There are better kebab shops. Kebabs in general are in decline in Germany. I predict that some people will close their shops down.

After a promising start in the first few years, things have gone downhill. The meat quality has steadily declined. It used to be good, firm meat, now it's just gristle and fat. The price-performance ratio is completely off. The place is just average now. The ambiance and seating are also a disaster. Very uncomfortable and cramped. One star for the friendly service and clean restrooms.

Two stars deducted for the very hard bread and service. It's incredibly difficult to chew. I mean, this baguette bread. But the meat and salad, or rather the entire contents of this baguette döner, were absolutely delicious. And the service at the register could definitely be a bit friendlier. At €12 plus a drink, it's a bit pricey. But you do get your fill.

I wouldn't recommend it at all!! The doner meat was rotten/stinky and cold!! Totally poor quality, no quality components, and the staff were incredibly harassing!!

Overrated and overpriced. Not clean and extremely unfriendly. Disrespectful. No time for paying customers.

If you want a good time and good service, don't come here. Worst service in all of Frankfurt. We pointed out to the employee that the meat in the doner kebab was very tough and inedible. He then picked up the meat from the doner and said, "No, it's fine. Either you eat it and order another one." Then he expected us to take the food back even though he handled it with his bare hands. It's probably not even his place, and when we asked for a refund, he didn't even offer to make us a new one. Never again! And if the owner reads this, employees like that ruin your business. Get rid of them! I'm an employer myself, and if that happened at my place, I'd fire the employee immediately! You expect some quality for a €12 doner kebab. What a waste of money!

The biggest rip-off on earth. Like chewing on car tires. The meat was burnt and dry... I took a few bites. He touches the meat with his bare hands and says, "Take the kebab or pay for something new." Such terrible service.

The bread and portion size were good, but everything else was standard fare at exorbitant prices. The meat was nothing special.

I was there today and ordered two doner kebab plates with two drinks for 38 euros. The service was very unfriendly and insulting. Then I received a plate with maybe 20 pieces of fries and soggy, cold meat that really didn't taste very good, and salad that was already brown. I hope you go bankrupt for the garbage you serve. I definitely wouldn't recommend this filthy place to anyone.

The doner kebab was decent, but slightly too expensive for the price.

Ton Bul Grill Kebab delivers on flavor and portion especially with their massive, delicious bread döner! If you're craving a satisfying kebab experience in Frankfurt, Ton Bul Grill Kebab Haus is a must-visit. Their bread döner is a standout: generously sized, packed with juicy meat, and bursting with flavor.

The döner tasted like nothing — I don’t know how they managed to do that. It was one of the worst döner experiences I’ve had in Germany. Also, the employees were a bit flirty and gave me disturbing looks and chitchat

One of the best kebabs I've ever eaten. I always go here when I'm in Frankfurt. The price/performance ratio is absolutely perfect!

12€ for a takeaway kebab is unbelievable and it didn't even taste good

Unfortunately, with a heavy heart, I can't quite understand the hype surrounding this shop. The bread is in the upper-good range, about a 7 out of 10. It's reminiscent of many yogurt breads, where yogurt is used instead of water or milk to create a crispier crust while still keeping the inside moist. That's definitely a plus. The amount of meat is also impressive: there's enough to fill you up without making you feel like a Snorlax. Unfortunately, now we come to the negative points. The red cabbage is very reminiscent of the one from "Haus des Döners"—very sour, rather than pleasantly juicy and fermented. That's a matter of taste, of course. Personally, I don't mind a slight acidity, but combined with the lemon, it's simply too much of a good thing. Either/or would be a better choice here. The salad is different from many other kebabs; it's a mix of lamb's lettuce and arugula. This change seems refreshing and well-thought-out, but unfortunately doesn't provide the necessary freshness that this kebab needs. And that brings us to the crucial point of criticism: The meat is well seasoned and of good quality, but I don't understand why such fatty meat is used. I've rarely experienced yogurt bread becoming so soggy that the fat runs over my hand. Normally, you can balance out such fat with coarsely chopped onions and fresh, crisp lettuce. But the lamb's lettuce isn't naturally crisp enough, and the onions are barely noticeable. I'm really sorry to say this, but the soggy bread makes this kebab a no-go for me and seems overall poorly thought out. If you remove the excess fat, however, you're left with a solid kebab that, while a bit too acidic, boasts good bread and decent ingredients.

Food is trash and service rude.

Despite all the criticism, it's still a good kebab. If you're only used to the standard kebab, this is already a real treat. Delicious bread, albeit a bit hard. Sauces 5/5, I don't quite understand the arugula, but it's good. The meat is also amazing. Yes, the meat is a bit fatty and everything is a bit hard to chew, but that's okay. Choosing ingredients is also very stressful. But there are plenty of employees everywhere if you have any requests. I don't need to say anything about card payments; we all know that...

I had a great döner, loved it. Sweet staff!

The doner meat is gluten-free. I spoke with the chef. This means there's no need to worry about contamination when cutting it. However, the sauces may contain gluten.

It tasted very good. However, the price-performance ratio isn't right. It's nothing special in my opinion. The bread could have been longer. No card payments, and there's not much space.

12€ for a kebab. Simply too expensive these days.

definitely No.1 doner and durum in Germany!

No card payments👎 The €12.50 (!) doner kebab tastes nothing without the sauce. The meat is prepared by machine for a faster process.

A dry loaf of bread with thin meat for €12 is way too much. I made that mistake today and never again. It didn't taste good at all.

A pleasure anytime. I've eaten there often at night, too. The quality has always been excellent.

Probably the best döner I’ve eaten in Germany so far.

Tonbull used to be one of the best restaurants in Frankfurt. In terms of taste, service, quality, wait time, and price. But these days, a doner kebab costs €12, and the quality and taste have plummeted to a very low level. I had to throw the doner away after half an hour (I normally never throw food away). I also got stomach problems (I'm prone to them), but the quality just wasn't as good anymore. The wait time is also far too long. I'd rather pay €3 more and get a top-quality steak doner kebab in Frankfurt.

Best restaurant, but unfortunately the prices have become increasingly higher ❤️❤️

Better than Ferhst, incredibly good 😎

The food is good but the music is much too loud and disturbing.

Used to be the best kebab in Frankfurt, but now it's not even in the top 10. The taste has deteriorated, and other restaurants have gotten much better. For €12, this kebab isn't worth it to me.

I was honestly very disappointed with my visit to Ton Bull Döner in Frankfurt. From the first bite, it was clear that the quality didn't match the price. The meat was anything but tender—rather dry and tough, which greatly spoiled the experience. The bread was also far too hard, almost as if it had been sitting for a while or overcooked. Instead of a fresh, fluffy kebab, it was more of a tough struggle to eat. Additionally, the prices are, in my opinion, far too high for what you get. If you're going to pay more, you expect correspondingly better quality—but that wasn't the case here. Overall, a disappointing experience. I was looking forward to a delicious kebab, but I was sadly disappointed. Personally, I wouldn't recommend it and definitely not worth the money.

For me personally (in terms of taste), it's one of the best kebabs in Frankfurt, just a bit pricey (€12 now). And if you want to eat there, you'll be sitting there in a relatively cozy atmosphere.

Unfortunately very disappointed, very dry kebab sauce, you can barely taste the salad and lemon, bread also dry, had high expectations but was very disappointed, unfortunately not good value for money for 12€...

I can't say anything negative, we really enjoyed it.

-Unfriendly cashier/manager... -No card payments accepted... -Meat absolutely stringy and loaded with spices... - Outrageous price of 12 euros for a "döner"

Good kebab, great staff, a bit expensive

Impeccable service and attentive staff!

Unfortunately, this kebab has nothing to do with a good kebab! The meat is overseasoned, tough, and sometimes undercooked. I used to enjoy eating here, but now the quality is truly disastrous. I definitely won't be eating here again.

Very bad and staff are extremely unfriendly

Sorry, but I can't. I understand why the kebab costs €13. The meat doesn't taste particularly good and it's not seasoned at all.

too much bread, too much of other things but too little meat

I don't know what all the hype about Tonbul is about. The bread was like rubber, and there are far better kebabs in the city.

Bad shop, extremely overpriced kebabs. Don't taste good! There are much cheaper, better kebabs!

For €12, you get a baguette-like loaf, which is still a reasonable price. However, the amount of meat could have been larger. I also expected more flavor. The preparation seems rather rushed and lacks love. In any case, I can't confirm that this is the best kebab in Frankfurt.

The price-performance ratio is absolutely terrible. €12 for rubbery meat. And no card payments accepted?!

The food was great – the doner kebab plate was huge and absolutely delicious! Service "only" 5 stars because I had to order myself – and only paid in cash, which isn't contemporary! The atmosphere was okay! The food again – absolutely sensational! The bread is baked on-site! I highly recommend this place!

I ate here 2-3 years ago, and I really enjoyed it. Today, however, it was the complete opposite. The bread was as tough as rubber, the meat was full of fat, there was barely any salad, and there were no sauces. Instead, just a bit of greens as decoration—and all for 12 euros. Very disappointing, never again.

Pure disappointment Complete rip-off Very small and cramped seating The food was indescribable The bread was almost impossible to bite into The meat was impossible to chew

Average food and the service was not good. Pricey for doner

Cash only! Walked 30 minutes for nothing...

It was the best kebab I've ever eaten!

Wanna gorge on döner or kebabs? Here is the place to do it.

I don't understand the exorbitant price for a doner kebab for €12?! Yes, the bread is longer and therefore also narrower, but the ends aren't as well-filled. The toppings are probably the same amount as in a regular doner kebab. The taste was okay, nothing special. The fries weren't good at all; the potatoes were still raw. They only asked for some doner meat on a plate for two small children, which also cost €12. They don't have children's menus. The two stars are only for the meat, which was okay, but nothing special.

This city is running behind Berlin for about 20 years but finally got a place with actually acceptable and good Döner!

The kebab was very tasty and of good quality, especially the meat and bread. There were several sauces to choose from. Pickled peppers were self-service, and you could simply help yourself as often as you liked. The restrooms just need to be cleaned more often, which is the only thing I can criticize.

A very well-known, large kebab shop. They sell a lot here. The price is also high, but the taste is good and it's just a bit more than usual. The portions are large, the bread is very, very good, the arugula is delicious, and the lemon on top is also very cool.

At €12, the doner kebab is above average in price, but the quality is also above average. The bread and meat were excellent. I didn't like the fact that after ordering, the doner was simply topped with whatever was on it without even asking what was on it. Furthermore, there was too little salad for me, even though there was still plenty of room in the bread.

The meat isn't exactly amazing, but everything is fresh and the store is incredibly clean. I would definitely go again!

Disastrous value for money. The quality of the meat has declined significantly, and the portion sizes have become significantly smaller.

The food is terrible. Strangely, card payments aren't accepted. Get your kebab somewhere else and save yourself €12. Service is also unfriendly.

I'm from North Rhine-Westphalia. For €12, it's truly abysmal. The meat is like a foot, the bag is huge, but it's absolutely terrible. I didn't even finish the kebab, even though I'm on a bulking phase.

I can't say it's delicious but it's not bad but it's not as exaggerated as I think it's not worth the price.

Save your money and eat somewhere else. The prices are completely inflated. You can get the same deal with comparable meat quality at the cheaper Turkish restaurant around the corner.

Terrible. Falafel was dry, hard, and almost black. Three pieces with fries for €12. Never again.

The dürüm has the bread a bit hard to chew. It is like a gummy. But the other doner is better.

Outrageous price for such a mediocre meat sandwich. The lack of card payment is outdated and stinks to high heaven.

Lahmacun with doner meat – the meat was almost inedible, tough, and over-seasoned. I don't want to talk about value for money, because no price would be appropriate for this poor quality meat.

Bro, €12 for a kebab, I honestly think it's pretty good. The taste is a 5/10.

We wanted to eat here. We ordered, but this was repeatedly misunderstood. Payment is cash only. The staff was very rude.

Very tasty kebab, fresh bread, and crisp, fresh salad. For €12, the few bits of gristle in the meat bothered me, but otherwise, it was a delicious kebab.

What's going on here is an absolute disgrace! I've been to this shop twice because everyone's whining about it being the "best kebab in Frankfurt." Result: Totally disappointing. Even the combination of arugula and lemon in the kebab just takes some getting used to. Who would think of that? And now the icing on the cake: The kebab now costs 12 euros! This shop was the first in Frankfurt to raise the price to 10 euros, setting off a wave of rumblings. Of course, everyone else follows suit—why not, if the customers are so stupid? Just greedy and completely unreasonable. No wonder more and more people are fed up with kebabs. You're not just ruining your own name with this kind of rip-off, but the entire industry.

So crowded place, I have been there once over the weekend , You need to take order and pay before you start eating at the reception … Since the place is crowded it’s not easy to move between tables … There is no toilet there … Staff Ali was so helpful and kind…

Even though the price was high, the döner was good.

We asked for half falafel and half meat kebab and they were both delicious!!! Everyone was very kind and service was really fast. Thank you!

The doner tasted really good, you can tell the craftsmanship and with the lemon at the end it was just delicious

The doner bread and meat were rather cold and the bread broke several times.

It's definitely noticeable that the quality of the doner kebab has deteriorated considerably. I ordered another doner kebab today, and I have to say that for €12, this one is no longer worth it. Vegetables are no longer chopped into small pieces, but only in large chunks.

The quality should be consistent at all times, whether it's afternoon, evening, or night. If you're open until 5 a.m., the kebab should taste good at night too. After all, the prices aren't getting any cheaper, so I expect the same quality no matter when I arrive. Instead, it seems as if, after midnight, the assumption is that only drunks will be stopping by, and you're simply sent packing. The meat was cold, pre-sliced, tough, and tasteless. A kebab should be fresh off the spit, not from a shelf. The fries were greasy, the bread was cold, and you have to pay extra for every little thing. With the prices now so exorbitant, it's just disappointing. The whole thing only survives on YouTube hype, but good quality doesn't look good at all. Absolutely not recommended for locals. There are plenty of better places in Frankfurt with fair prices and fresh kebabs. It's a shame; there was potential there.

The meat needs to be examined! It's awful. It's not clear what kind of meat it is! It's covered in fat!

Complete disappointment! A doner kebab for 12 euros – that's truly outrageous. The taste is absolutely unconvincing, and the value for money isn't right at all. And then they don't accept card payments? That's simply not up to date in 2025. Even in Turkey, you can pay with a card everywhere these days. They're clearly not in the present yet. Definitely not a recommendation – once and never again.

The best in Frankfurt. It is by far the cleanest and tastiest

Unfortunately, it's not like it used to be. Bread is too hard, far too little meat, and far too much greens.

We also stopped here for a spontaneous meal. Very good quality, large portions, and excellent service. The staff were very attentive.

Disappointing, nothing like it used to be. In contrast, Berger Kebap is the best in town! I say that as a Frankfurt native!

Two of us went there for lunch. The dürüm wasn't very tasty, especially the meat. The bread, fries, salad, and sauces were fresh and tasty. The service was friendly. Overall, it was okay, but we wouldn't necessarily go back.

€30 is probably normal here for a doner kebab, a doner box, and two drinks. The meat is mediocre. The bread is simply not good. The sauces aren't even homemade and are far too greasy. That's why I don't understand the price. The doner kebab is worth €6 at most, not €12. There are so many kebab shops that make their own bread, durum, skewers, or sauces and charge less.
