Yol Ocakbasi in Bielefeld

Portions are smaller, quality is poorer, but prices have risen. No longer recommended.

Been coming here for years and the portions are getting smaller and prices are going up. It's a shame, they were nice years with a very good price-performance ratio. We're looking for something new.

It's become way too expensive and the portions are too small and there's no way you'll get enough

The food was delicious as always! What we found particularly good, however, is that cashless payment is now finally possible! It has been renovated! ;-) Everything is now more open and at the same time more comfortable thanks to the new, beautiful benches.

Good food, nice service, a bit too loud for me personally

It was remodeled and looks very nice

The food was very tasty but the portions are getting smaller and prices are getting higher. Unfortunately the only salad today was iceberg lettuce with carrots, unfortunately no coleslaw or tomatoes. Mixed grill plate for €25 is also way too expensive, especially because kofta and kebab meat were omitted. The waiters are very friendly and very nice. It was reopened today after the renovation, it looks very nice, only the ceiling has become a little too dark.

Super tasty food and very fast and nice service. We are already looking forward to the reopening. Our favorite restaurant in Bielefeld

I was there last night and the food was very cold, the employee didn't bring any cutlery and the waiting times were extremely long and the employees were on their cell phones the whole time. It was a shame. A very good customer will never come back

One of my favorite restaurants in Bielefeld. The skewers are so delicious, really fantastic and so is the rice. Everything else tastes good too. If you want to eat delicious skewers, you should eat there. Parking there is stupid and not cheap because of the city center. It's best if you don't have a car, otherwise you'll pay as much for parking as you do for food. In summer the place has a great atmosphere, not just on weekend evenings...

It was my first time here and I would come back again. The service was very friendly. The food came quickly and was very tasty. I've had better grape leaves as a starter somewhere else, but it's a high level of complaint. I sat outside in the weather, which is also just ok. I thought it was great that all the places were in the shade. But I found the posers driving around in their overpriced rental cars and making noise to be more of a nuisance. Too bad. Otherwise the restaurant is in a great location. Directly downtown. I think next time I'll look for a place inside.

Super tasty, high quality food and nice staff. Gladly again:)

Delicious fresh food [top] can only be recommended.

I advise everyone to go to this restaurant

The starter plate and then the lamb skewers were very tasty. Great value for money. Service was attentive and very friendly. A bit loud in the room due to the reverb. Chairs are a bit “out of date”.

Super tasty food for little money. We recommend.

Pure rip-off, first of all totally unfriendly and the food doesn't taste good and an extra €1.20 more was charged per sauce, never again

Food was super tasty A1 Service A1 I can only recommend 👍

Great value for money. The lamb is tender and tastes fantastic! The pide is also recommended. The service is also attentive and courteous ⭐️

We often come here to eat when we go shopping in Bielefeld. Unfortunately, this time the low point was really reached in terms of quality. That started with the menu. This was very sticky and the pages could hardly be turned. The meal continued. The salad looked very unappetizing and there was ketchup on it. Now everyone can imagine how it got there. The dough boats tasted like they had been warmed up and were very crispy. Definitely not freshly baked... We told the waitress about it, but all he got was an apology. That was all... .

I find this restaurant very bad, the food was very little and expensive.

One was very good. Very nice service. The only minus is very dirty toilets. The toilet brush was brown.

It used to be better. I had to get cutlery myself. Dirty toilets. Old bread. Long waiting times. The waitresses are more concerned with themselves than with the customers. How can you hire such waiters? No card payment possible. 6 months ago I would have given it 4 or 5 stars. Significant deterioration. Too bad.(Summer 2023) Were there again in May/June 2024. The prices are reasonable, prices have also increased elsewhere. The waiter brought the wrong drinks. We got the cards ourselves again, as well as the cutlery 🤣. Was a new waiter, we hadn't seen him before. When we wanted to pay he didn't come after asking twice. We then went forward and paid someone else. We also told him honestly and directly that we had never received such bad service there. He also forgot to bring the bread 🥖, we asked for it twice. This time the toilets were dirty again. Unfortunately, after more than 15 years we will no longer be coming. It really used to be better.

Make grill plates more expensive, but leave out the kebab meat.

Very tasty food! We always enjoy going there. You don't have to wait that long and the service is great too. It's also very good that card payment is now possible 👍🏼

Highly recommended late at night! We visited the restaurant in Bielefeld around midnight. The service was very attentive and brought food and drinks in a reasonable time. (Since there wasn't a lot going on at the time, I can't judge how accurate this is at peak times) Sitting in the back of the restaurant is very comfortable. The falafel salad was delicious, although the falafel didn't taste too fresh. The meat, on the other hand, was said to not have been bad, but not to my personal taste. Lg.

The food was 😋. But unfortunately there are no cushions on the chairs outside. But maybe that will change after the renovation.

Good food and generous portions, promoted.

For me, it's great local with Turkish food from the grill at ok prices but a great selection from the grill....

- A lot was going on - no chaos yet - Very nice receptionist - Food was delicious - Very happy again

You can go, but you don't have to... With these prices you can also eat delicious food elsewhere...

Came here for the first time in a few years and was disappointed. Quality of the food was not good and the service was unfriendly. When we pointed out a hair in the food, there was no apology and no new food. All they said was “it’s windy today”. Terrible!

It has deteriorated a lot. Food came to the table cold

It used to be good, but now I don't like it at all, they reduced the portions by half, as you can see, the pyro is not the old pyro.

I was eating here yesterday... the food has become quite expensive... I always eat the same thing here, Adana minced meat with yogurt and bread and tomato sauce... I always paid 10.90 euros, now it costs 17.90 euros .. pretty expensive..

So honestly, do you think that humanity is completely stupid?? Your prices have skyrocketed. It's obvious in the current situation that you have to specify the prices, but then I think halving the food and using more lettuce is more than a cheek!!! You completely removed the kebab meat from the grill plate. I enjoyed eating at your place for years, but two restaurants away I get more for my money and it tastes just as good. The staff was friendly as always.

A strange restaurant. The young lady comes and gives you a menu card and when you want to ask something, a waiter immediately intervenes out of jealousy. The waitress was laughing like a child, she seemed stupid, pardon my frankness. I wonder how you hire such incompetent people. The waiter, I think Afghan, doesn't really speak German, so today was a really strange experience

Very very tasty food. My best restaurant so far

Fantastic really really tasty and clean

I didn't eat anything there, just drank Turkish tea and it felt better. Maybe I wasn't lucky that day.

Delicious, as I have known it for years, friendly staff, great ambience. Always my pleasure :-)

Great grill restaurant! Everything is right here. We'd love to come back.

I had a kebab plate with chicken with fries and Ayran as a drink. It was my first time there and I found it a bit expensive in terms of value for money when I now compare prices with Bavaria. It may be that the prices here are normal. I thought the food was great, it was manageable and it tasted good too. The only thing that bothered me is that, firstly, we didn't get much bread, even though there were two of us and we both had the same dish, we only got 4 strips of bread in total. It's really a disgrace. The bread was filling and tasted like it was a few days old and I had the feeling that we had the leftovers from the day before. Ambience was cozy and large. I don't think I would go there again. What I liked was that you can also pay with Visa. Best regards Your memo

The food distribution is generous.

Nice restaurant, delicious food, nice and fast service 1AA

The best Adana kebab within a 100km radius Juicy and still well done Rice also very good Not everyone can do that either Service, yeah So I think a few fewer male waiters would be better They do their job, but they are cold and heartless No smile No friendliness, but you can't have everything It would be nice but I'll still come back for the good food whenever I'm nearby

I went for iftar on the last day of Ramadan. I asked for a place to pray and they said there was none and they could not show me a place. At that moment, all pleasure and pleasure decreased to zero for me. Also the food and service are not good. I would also like to thank the employee who helped me to pray with his own effort.

Lider I have to say the quality was very poor..... And staff they are rude... Never again...

All in all, highly recommended. Due to the very large room, it is often very loud. To have a relaxed conversation, you should go to another location. But to enjoy good food I can recommend Piro.

I ate tavuk sis and the menu didn't say that there could be anything containing gluten. There was 100% something with gluten in the food, maybe the fries or the seasoning? Because I've had bad stomach pain and nausea for days now! I don't understand this at all, people open a restaurant and don't know anything about gluten. Terrible. You are playing with other people's health

It's been recommended to me several times now, "Bielefeld's center when it comes to food", the food itself was quite good, but the rest was unfortunately very meager. I don't think it's possible to make reservations, I don't feel like standing in a queue for more than 30 minutes, just make a reservation at a certain time and you're done. The second point that bothered me was the restaurant itself, it's already over 20 degrees outside and if you sit further back or further inside you really sink in completely, there is no air conditioning which makes it very difficult to enjoy anything. The last thing that really bothered me was how long it took to take an order and have the food served, as we neared the end of the meal we ordered drinks again and waited for these 15 minutes just wanted the bill and the drinks were there, even though they had been forgotten. Conclusion, the taste itself, no problem, is really tasty, but the rest was really poor and as long as there is no air conditioning I will probably never enter the restaurant again.

A bit expensive but really tasty 😋

Great food,friendly staff,fast service.one of the best in the city if you are looking oriental foods.

Great restaurant with very friendly and fast service. The food always tastes excellent and the selection of dishes is really great. We always enjoy coming here. It would be nice if you could order some dishes in smaller portions. This way, food waste could be avoided.

When we are in Bielefeld we always eat at Piro. We really like it there. The food is very good. The service is very friendly. Totally OK in terms of price. I can recommend it to everyone.

The food was very tasty and the quality was always consistent, we ate here very often and despite it being very full, the food came to our table very quickly. A huge plus now, you have to say that card payment is offered, which is actually standard everywhere, and has only recently been possible here. The employees have always been very friendly and helpful to us, which is why I don't understand some of the reviews. I think being friendly is like a boomerang

Food is delicious and staff is nice.

Super tasty in an appropriate atmosphere

After over 15 years, I'm so disappointed 😞 There were four of us! Two of us ordered Adana plates! Once with rice Once with fries! Those who ate Adana meat had problems all night long! Cramps, pain, diarrhea! It was immediately clear to me that this meat tasted different, as always! It didn't taste like it used to! A pity. I often had to see that bread from another customer that isn't eaten will be passed on to another customer! It shocked me! That's why I always spoke to waiters every time! Unfortunately, the waiters can't do anything about what happens in the kitchen, but they feel it! They are 3 great people in good condition that we have known for years! The 3 men, who have been there for years, have always been friendly, respectful, understanding and always in a good mood! I regret to mention that I find it cheeky to increase prices but make portions small! You have to stay correct!

The food is delicious and you feel full. Regarding the service, new guests have to wait a long time and many guests are allowed in because they are friends with the employees. You can't eat in peace either because the employees (especially in the evening) wait almost next to you until you've finished eating, which disturbs you while you're eating. The ambience is very nice and the toilets are clean too.

They forget about us and give everyone in front of us. Food is great but service is not recommended

Very tasty food again at any time and the service was so nice

This is a very nice restaurant, with very good food and very friendly staff, there are also many vegetarian dishes, you don't have to wait long for the food!

I've eaten here several times under a different name and also at the new Piro and was mostly satisfied, but yesterday I ordered something to take away. Although I specifically ordered the Dürüm rolls at the checkout without cocktail sauce, they came with the sauce we didn't like. A sauce like this might work on a salad, but it certainly has no place on a kebab or dürüm. The portions were also different in terms of quantity. It's probably due to stress. The main thing is to be quick, right!? If you eat there, something like this happens less often or you can still react. The cooks, or whatever you can call them, were also a bit stroppy in my opinion. Even though you are waiting right in front of you to take your food with you, you are not asked whether you want to eat it or not. You probably have to mention everything before you pay so that maybe everything turns out the way you want it. In any case, you have the feeling that you are being processed very quickly here. A pity.....

Very tasty food and really nice staff. Really recommended 💯

Very nice & good, everything was great overall. Very well attended. The staff is polite and courteous and leaves nothing to be desired. Child-friendly is a must!! You can easily go there with a lot of people, the restaurant is very large and therefore offers a lot of seating. It is usually pretty full. I love the restaurant and go there more often because it is easy to reach!

Bahhhhh the toilets are so disgusting and smell so bad. It's questionable to me that anyone still goes out to eat there. People don't eat there anymore.

Very nice staff, delicious food and very nice, always happy to come

The food was very tasty and the waiter was very friendly. It's cheap there too.

Broken glass given And wait a few hours because the Turkish grill was broken.

Best zero stars! Very disrespectful boss. We ordered pickup for about 4 people, after 5 minutes we called to cancel because 5 more people had come and we wanted to order more but needed time to think about it. According to the boss, that wasn't possible because he already had all the meat on the grill (in 5 minutes) Which can't be possible at all since we all know how central the restaurant is...

Great food, always freshly prepared.

Today on February 9, 2024, around 7 p.m. Ordered Adana kebab, there were broken glass in the salad, that's not possible, the bad thing is they didn't even apologize. Nothing to recommend.

Delicious. Big portion. Nice personel. Top 👍

Everything is fine except loading

We're still waiting for 40 minutes! 🫠

So many “good” reviews…. no, I can't understand. I was there with a friend. In the beginning the service was immediate. I ordered iskender and she ordered a lamb plate. The food came so quickly that it couldn't have been "freshly" prepared. Accordingly, I was extremely disappointed. My food really had nothing to do with Iskender! It was just meat and bread with tomato sauce on top and some “Kaymak yogurt” on the side. No butter, nothing. Oh, and if someone comes along now and says: “Yes, you can mention something like that”… I wanted to… but after the food came, we were like air for the staff! I often raised my hand and the staff absolutely ignored me so I just didn't feel like it anymore! But attracting new customers to the store was always possible. Absolutely rude and unprofessional because you quickly had the feeling that you were getting customers into the store, selling something and then leaving them behind. In terms of price, I found it too expensive, even though the restaurant is in the middle of the city. But the price-performance ratio just doesn't fit. Would never enter this restaurant again.

Don't have to go there again. Doner plate ordered without salad with fries. I got a plate of fries with some kebab meat.

THE address in Bielefeld when it comes to Turkish cuisine! Always happy to come here. For dessert I can recommend Künefe with ice cream and a Turkish tea. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Essen wie immer Lecker,kommen bestimmt wieder

Herrlich lecker, aufmerksam, freundliche Bedienung, Preis/Leistung top. Mein absolutes Lieblingsrestaurant.

Das Essen war gut, aber nicht sehr gut. Der Service war super. Man wurde sehr schnell bedient und wenn man etwas nachbestellen wollte, war sofort jemand da. Das Ambiente ist nicht mehr das schönste und sollte meiner Meinung mal etwas modernisiert werden.

We where very excited about this place untill we needed to pay, the waiter announced that it was cash only. No mention or sign of any indication that this was the situation. So when I said I only had my phone the waiter said “not my problem “ ! Well mate a heads up would have been nice ! Just put us off the whole place .

Die Bewertung wird euch statistisch nicht weh tun, aber dennoch möchte ich meine überraschend schlechte Erfahrung vom Abend des 03.11.22 schildern: Anstelle der bestellten Falafel-Tasche bekam ich eine mit Hähnchenfleisch, wo ich wirklich ganz genau hinschmecken musste, um überhaupt den Geschmack zu erkennen. Sah aus und schmeckte wie irgendwas undefinierbares, vertrocknetes. Auch die Pommes-Beilage schmeckte überhaupt nicht. Und das Besteck musste ich mir vom Nachbartisch holen. Das Essen lag mir danach schwer im Magen. Schade.

Sehr leckeres und vielfältiges Essen und freundliches Personal ‼️ Danke für diesen schönen Abend

Смачно та привітні до дітей. Knauffe - top

Absolut lecker gegessen.😋Nur zu empfehlen.Preis-Leistung ist auch passend.👍😃Alles in Allem.Immer gerne wieder🌺😊.Auf alle Fälle einen Tisch reservieren,da man sonst evtl.mit Wartezeiten rechnen muss.

Sehr stark nachgelassen, jahrelang Stammkunde gewesen, aber trocknes Fladenbrot für den Döner neuerdings und anderes Fleisch! Preise angezogen und die Qualität deutlich in den Keller gegangen, SCHADE, aber mich hat es die letzten 2 Male sehr enttäuscht. Mich sieht man nicht mehr. Preiserhöhung bei gleichbleibender Qualität, wäre alles in Ordnung aber so leider nicht.

Great place for Turkish food with huge portions in a nice atmosphere. Try the kunefe or Kazandibi

Yemekler lezzetliydi ama tuvalet ve genel hijyen çok kötüydü.

Den Laden kann man vergessen der Service total schlecht.... Gäste die nach uns kamen haben direkt Plätze bekommen und wir wurden getröstet......schlimm der Laden. Und die herren Toiletten sind ekelhaft. kartenzahlung ist nicht möglich.....weswegen eigentlich? 😊

Essen schmeckt gut , Personal ist freundlich , Preise sind okay , ich kann nur 👍

Freundlichen Team, das Essen ist super lecker.

Servis sıfır yemekler geldi mezeler gelmedi izgaranin yanında ekmek yok garsonlarin hizmeti sıfır

Essen war top alles hat uns gut gefallen leider der Kellner war sehr unfreundlich und hat uns etwas "vergessen" obwohl es nicht gerade voll war,

Sehr lecker 😋. Schöne Atmosphäre, durgehend nettes und aufmerksames Personal.

Einfach ein schöner Ort um schnell was leckeres zu bekommen. Alle sind sehr freundlich und die Ambiente ist auch gut

Essen schmeckt mir hier viel, viel besser als im Plaza nebenan. Hier ist das Fleisch wirklich frisch.

Lecker, gemütlicher Aussenecktisch, nette Bedienung, gutes Essen, super Nachspeise

Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen und das Essen war spitze und kann es nur weiterempfehlen
