Yol Ocakbasi in Bielefeld

I received the order incomplete and it took too long

Delicious dishes. I especially recommend the breakfast buffet. It costs about €20. You get a wide variety of hot and cold dishes.

Really cool here, yes. The food is so good, yes. The staff are sooooo good. I would come again, yes🩷🦋❤️‍🔥

The Piro is a beautiful restaurant

A very nice, pleasant restaurant. Everyone from the food to the staff was very friendly and welcoming, especially Kava, I think that was his name. (I'd name him employee of the month.)

High-quality doner kebabs, but not only that; the kitchen offers much more, such as pide or grilled dishes. Delicious and highly recommended.

Great food, nice service, everything clean, always happy to come back

This was the most delicious Turkish breakfast I've ever had. TOP! 100% recommended!

Very good, delicious, and varied offerings, and the service is generally very good. Only one waiter could have been a bit nicer. He accidentally brushed my friend's hand a few times as he walked by and didn't apologize. It's probably because the seating at the front is quite tight, but a small "sorry" would have been appropriate nonetheless. Otherwise, it's a very nice and elegant place; I really enjoy going there.

The food is okay but the waiter was an Indian or something he was not nice at all he threw the cards in our faces we ordered chili noodles and a karislik noodles were sweet and sour no chili and the karislik was just chicken skewers and Adana nothing more never again can ocakbasi is a million times better

Piro is a lovely restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious. The menu offers a varied selection, and the portions are generous. Overall, a nice place for a relaxing evening.

Very, very tasty 😋 I had a kofte plate with extra yogurt. The portions are large. Excellent service.

Friendly and authentic service in a restaurant that brings you close to authentic Turkish cuisine. Very tasty and highly recommended.

Very cool service team, dancing to the boss should be allowed. It sets the mood and makes you feel good.

It's a real shame what the place has become! Expensive, small portions, and not particularly tasty; the staff only does the bare minimum. The menu was so dirty and sticky that I could barely open it. Never again.

The food was great and everything came very quickly 👍🏽👍🏽

The owner of the place, Haydar Abi, is a perfect person. First of all, his conversation is enough. It's been a long time since I left, but if I pass by, this is the first place I'll go. ☺️

The food was quite good. But not telling us beforehand that they charge €1.70 per sauce in a dürüm is a bit like a rip-off… sorry.

We always enjoy coming here. It's nothing special, but you always know what you're getting. The service is always friendly and courteous, children are welcome, and since the renovations, it's been much more pleasant. The only thing is the restrooms, which unfortunately seem a bit neglected; they could use some improvement.

Drinks are too expensive at €3.90, which is actually too much, and 70 percent of the thunderstorm is salad. So, they don't give any. Black tea is just expensive coffee.

We had breakfast for about €22 per person. It had almost everything you could want for breakfast, except for coffee and juice at that price. Instead, there was tea, which might be fine for some people.

The food was very good. The best Turkish restaurant in Bielefeld. The staff is very nice

We went for the breakfast buffet, and it was absolutely fantastic. A truly fantastic selection of dips, salads, bread, etc. All beautifully seasoned and fresh. I would definitely go there again and would recommend it to other Turkish breakfast restaurants in Bielefeld.

The food is just WOW!) the lamb is very tasty!! I definitely recommend coming to try it) the staff is very friendly, the restaurant itself is also beautiful and atmospheric!!

This is a great place to eat! The price/performance ratio is right! The restaurant is always clean, and the service is attentive.

The food was good, but there was a short, black hair in the yogurt. My hair was in a tight braid, and my husband has light hair—it couldn't have come from us. The waiter took the plate without a word and only returned later (after being asked) for the bill. The issue was ignored; only after I pointed it out was he succinctly told me it couldn't have come from the kitchen. No apology, no goodwill—disappointing treatment.

1. Airan was bad. 2. The food was a 3 out of 10 and very expensive. Not recommended.

Very nice service and relaxed atmosphere, would gladly come again

The location looks elegant. The food was delicious but arrived cold. The service left a lot to be desired. We sat in the front area. The waiters seemed very stressed, extremely confused, and made anyone who lingered there feel uncomfortable. Perhaps visit during the week rather than on a weekend. Plus, you feel like you're forced to get up. August 2, 2025

Unfortunately, my visit to the restaurant was a huge disappointment. The food was absolutely delicious—completely carelessly prepared, served lukewarm, and simply unacceptable in terms of flavor. The price was absolutely outrageous for what was offered. I have rarely spent so much money for such poor quality. The value for money is simply disastrous. I cannot recommend this restaurant under any circumstances and will definitely not return. One star is even too many.

Unfortunately, the food didn't meet my expectations – it was disappointing in terms of taste. I found the prices completely exorbitant, especially considering the quality. The value for money isn't justified for what was offered. Therefore, I can't recommend it.

Service was great but food was a joke, It didn't even taste fresh

The taste is recommendable, but not comparable to the earlier Yol days. Prices have increased considerably, but portions remain the same. A good place for Turkish dishes, but not a standout.

Almost always open, and everything is freshly prepared and delicious. EDIT: I used to be a regular at Piro's and always appreciated it: Almost always open, everything was freshly prepared, and it tasted very good – that was also my review about eight years ago. The food still tastes good today, but unfortunately, the value for money is no longer as good as it used to be. Of course, the increased prices are partly due to inflation, but both the portion sizes and the quality have noticeably declined. It's a shame, because the restaurant once had a consistently coherent concept. Hopefully, Piro will find its way back to its former glory.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A first-class breakfast – Piro Bielefeld impresses all around! If you're looking for a first-class breakfast experience in Bielefeld, Piro is the place to be! I was able to enjoy the breakfast buffet in a stylish atmosphere – and I'm thrilled. Ambience: The interior is modern, tasteful, and very inviting. Warm lighting accents, stylish furniture, and an open, light-filled room concept create a truly comfortable atmosphere. Ideal for both a quiet breakfast alone and for social gatherings. Buffet & Selection: The selection is impressively diverse and of high quality. Fresh fruit, crisp vegetables, aromatic antipasti, a colorful selection of cheeses and breads, lovingly arranged platters – all perfectly presented. Particularly noteworthy are: • the large selection of Turkish specialties such as börek, pide, and simit, • freshly squeezed juices and traditional Turkish tea, • as well as the live cooking experience with the coffee and tea service. Scrambled eggs with sucuk Quality & Taste: Every product was fresh, perfectly flavorful, and visibly prepared with love. The grilled vegetables were perfectly seasoned, the bread crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the yogurts, nuts, and muesli were also high-quality. The tea was strong and aromatic—as it should be. Service: The staff was very friendly, attentive, and professional—without being intrusive. You immediately felt welcome. Conclusion: The Piro in Bielefeld takes the breakfast buffet to a new level. Everything is just right here: quality, variety, atmosphere, and service. An absolute insider tip—and for me, already a must-visit during every stay in the city!

You order and they bring you other dishes. Also, pay attention to your receipt; prices vary. Distracted service. Not recommended.

The stars are awarded solely for the ambience – they want to be fair, after all. The food? Average to insignificant, culinary-wise completely uninspired. The prices are at least realistic – probably the only thing that's remained down to earth here. The restrooms, on the other hand, are a disgrace – apparently the cleaning staff are off duty or just not in the mood. The low point? A waiter who, in all seriousness, blames the customer for a technical problem with the debit machine and then adds, "There must be no money on the card." Arrogant and extremely unprofessional. Someone like that doesn't belong in the service department, but in the comedy department. But hey, every place has its court jester. He didn't even notice what kind of credit card I had.

Disappointing – it used to be better! I used to enjoy eating at Piro – the value for money was good. But unfortunately, a lot has deteriorated. The quality of the food, especially the mixed grill, is no longer what it used to be. Nothing special in terms of taste and simply poorly presented. On top of that, no tea with the meal? In a restaurant with oriental flair, a simple tea should be a given. And the worst thing of all: It's summer, it's hot – and yet the air conditioning hasn't been turned on! This makes the stay even more unpleasant. It's a shame, I had hoped for more. I hope the team takes the criticism to heart – because the potential is actually there.

It used to be: "Hey, let's go, Yol!" Today, the atmosphere is somehow gone. It's becoming more and more like a restaurant, but the food isn't getting any better. On the other hand, there are no longer any budget menus. The portions on the doner kebab plates are also getting smaller every year. Before, there were generous side dishes like grilled pointed peppers; now it's just carelessly strung together side dishes with meat. The ambiance has barely changed in recent years and now seems a bit dated and worn. Service: One minute after ordering, it was no longer possible to make any adjustments. The food arrived quickly, but paying took forever. Friendliness was okay, but nothing special. BUT: They now accept card payments! You can eat here, but the typical doner kebab, which is sometimes simply delicious, is no longer on the menu. For the prices, you'll get more satisfaction from competitors in a similar setting.

I don't understand why you can't get lavash/yufka from you. It's always just flatbread... even though you also use the dough for durum... otherwise delicious, but also expensive in some cases.

Anyone who still likes this place today and leaves is lost. Five years ago, Piro was still very good. Today, it's all about money. The food is bad, and the service is bad, too.

The food is okay but the service is so unpleasant that I won't be coming again.

Super friendly service and amazing food, with a fantastic selection of oriental dishes! We've been here several times and have never been disappointed.

Very friendly staff, we will be back :)

Very, very tasty, but the prices for the small portions are ridiculous... 2 grill plates Appetizer plates Couple of drinks €87

Unfortunately the price-performance ratio is very poor!

My wife and I ate there. The service was excellent, friendly, and pleasant. The food was plentiful and of good quality. Everything was freshly prepared, as you could watch the chefs preparing it. Great

Sorry but even with the salad everything was wrong and so I won't go there again. Service was nil, as I said I ate salad but never again! Ambience was ok but nothing else.

Portions are too small, and prices are increasing with ever smaller portions. The doner kebab is okay, but €8.50 for a doner kebab with substandard portions isn't great. The plate of lamb cutlets is also way too overpriced for the small portion.

We sat outside, right on the street. It wasn't very quiet, but that was due to the city being very busy, but the waiter served us immediately. He was very nice. I can highly recommend Piro.

Not good! I wouldn't recommend it. We ate there yesterday and the food didn't come as ordered. Plus, it was a bit overpriced.

There's simply nothing bad to say... Everything was perfect and the food was super delicious!

A complete disaster Never again... Hair in the food, but I still had to pay. Service was always discussing things, no insight. Food for the very poor, for €5 more you get a decent steak. In the steakhouse...

There was a short grey hair in the salad and apart from that we had to wait a very long time to clean the table and there were bread crumbs on my dress and we didn't give enough change.

I went to the Piro restaurant with my family – unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. The food doesn't taste the same as it used to, especially the meat. The plates used to be full, but now you only get 100g of meat with a few fries for over €30. Far too expensive and no longer worth it. The biggest problem, however, is the service: Most of the waiters there clearly haven't learned how to treat guests. They behave very unprofessionally. One waiter stood with his bow right in my face while I was sitting at the table with my wife – that was totally disrespectful. They also clear the table over the heads of the guests and talk loudly to colleagues, even though there are guests sitting right next to them. This used to be a good restaurant – unfortunately, I can't recommend it anymore.

Very tasty Lamachun, was brought quickly and friendly service

Always delicious food, cozy, and friendly staff. The breakfast is amazing; I'd even call it the best in town.

I was completely satisfied with my visit. The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive; I received a warm welcome and was well looked after. I was particularly impressed by how helpful and courteous everyone was. The food was truly delicious, freshly prepared, with a very well-balanced flavor and beautifully presented. The selection on the menu was also appealing, so there was something for everyone. The prices were also absolutely reasonable and fair for the quality offered. The location itself is pleasantly decorated—nothing over the top, but cozy and clean. Overall, a very harmonious atmosphere where you can feel at home. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this visit!

I'm not from Bielefeld and was in Piro. I ordered a doner kebab with fries. The bread wasn't warm, not crispy like a Berlin doner kebab, the bread was half cold, half warm. I ordered lamb in a doner kebab, but the lamb was dry, not that warm and rather dry. It probably wasn't on a skewer and was kept warm in a container. Overall, the doner kebab got a rating of 5. The fries were too dry and hardly any seasoning, also a rating of 5. Mine was catastrophically bad. An hour later, my stomach noticed that the food wasn't good and it tasted that way. My colleague ate a grill plate for €25. When the plate arrived, we were surprised why there was so little food, it wasn't worth €10. Better to eat pizza or all you can eat at a Chinese restaurant. The grill plate isn't worth it, too expensive, I ate too little. Then my colleague had Fanta and I had a large beer. A total of €48. Too expensive, the food was catastrophic, and for €25 at my colleagues the grilled plate was too small. A scandal, the plate wasn't worth €10. We regretted going into the shop. It's no longer worth ordering plates in a Turkish restaurant. That's why I had the kebab with fries because I assumed it was catastrophically cheap for €25. If I had ordered a grilled plate and they had given me so little food for that money, I would have complained to people. I didn't order a grilled plate, which saved me a lot of stress. But even the simple food I ordered was rubbish and too expensive. I wouldn't recommend this shop. Grade 5 / poor

Good food, nice atmosphere. Visited on February 15, 2025.

It's gotten very, very bad; unfortunately, I can't recommend it at all anymore; it's a huge disappointment. It's truly incomprehensible that such quality (or rather quantity) is even accepted. Operators shouldn't be surprised if customers stay away. Either you offer genuinely good quality, which allows you to keep your prices, or you should just give up altogether. If you don't believe me, then go through it for yourself.

I am very dissatisfied, the service is very rude and the food is not edible You can hardly have a conversation because it's very loud, the prices of food are so expensive that it's not even worth ordering

That was delicious as always 😋😋

There is no halal food here. Your portions are getting smaller and prices are getting more and more expensive. The quality of the meat has drastically decreased, especially kebab, regardless of which type. Service rubbish... Except for young women, two come running and ask them at least four times until they get up if something is missing.

The Köfte plate with bulgur is always worth a visit!! Delicious!!

Unfortunately very inauthentic. There were five of us there. Everyone ordered skewered dishes, such as kuzu şiş. These are traditionally served with lavaş. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. When asked, we were told that lavaş is only made for dürüm dishes. When we said we would like to order some for an additional charge, we were quoted a price of €9.80, which would be the price for a complete Dürüm. Too bad... Prices too high for the small portions.

Service was friendly but a little more attentive would be nice.

Overall, it's a good place, but the meat wasn't cooked very well. There was lamb with mushroom sauce and the meat was almost unchewable, it felt more like rubber. The price is close to the maximum for such an establishment. The service staff is very polite and attentive despite the large number of people and tables. Overall, if you decide to eat there, I don't recommend ordering lamb.

The food is excellent, but unfortunately very expensive since the renovations. The staff is very friendly, especially the receptionist who assigns seating. She's super friendly, and I have great respect for how professionally she handles disrespectful guests.

Simply disappointing! We had to wait over an hour, but the staff were unfriendly and disinterested. When we finally complained about the long wait, the waiters just laughed at us – as if our anger wasn't taken seriously. In the end, they told us there was no room for us. The waiters couldn't care less, and we had to leave the restaurant. We've never experienced such disrespect. Absolutely not recommended!

I've been to Piro several times. The prices are rising, but the quality is getting worse. Nothing new is coming in; it's always the same.

Unfortunately an absolute disappointment! We had great expectations of the Piro in Bielefeld, but were treated completely disrespectfully. After an hour of waiting, guests with "better" connections were given priority and allowed to go ahead, while we were ignored. When we asked politely, the waiters laughed at us - I've never experienced anything like that! In the end we were simply told that there was no more room for us. Such unfriendly and disrespectful treatment of guests is absolutely unacceptable in the catering industry. Never again!

The food was very tasty and was served warm. The service from the nice lady Dilek was 10/10, very friendly and always trying to make the customers happy.

I don't think 2 water 0.25l for 7.20 is okay. Way too expensive!

Booohrrrr lo delicious 😋 😋 😋 😋 😋 😋 Love the food because it's so delicious and juicy Service was a bit slow

Best Turk in Bielefeld, et paca soup and grilled world class

Communication in many languages ​​at the highest level, nice and fast service, good food served aesthetically, I am very satisfied and recommend to everyone 👌

Great restaurant. I went there for the first time this week on the advice of a colleague. The staff, food and ambience are top. The selection on the menu is designed in such a way that you have a lot to choose from but are not overwhelmed. There was only a short wait until the food was brought, but you could enjoy the salad and bread in advance. Through the glass design counter you could watch the chefs grilling the skewers. Modern, cozy atmosphere. Definitely come back.

Lahmacun fresh and tasty but too expensive. For €6.80, tzatziki should at least be included in the price, but to then charge €1.20 for it is just cheeky.

Average food, service wasn't good. After I discovered a hair in my salad, my appetite was gone. People work in the kitchen without hats and we had to wait 15 minutes for tea. Too bad.

Food was okay, a lot of things were saved (waste etc.), staff was unmotivated and didn't show much interest in the work. The prices are unrealistic, outrageously expensive. We've eaten there several times and unfortunately it can no longer be compared. Nevertheless, I wish you good business and much success. Kind regards.

Very bad service and exorbitant prices. The customer is not taken into account and sauce is simply put on the food without asking whether they want it or can even tolerate it. I then complained about the food and the waiter immediately became unfriendly and was unwilling to remake the food, despite the allergy. Better go somewhere else, €8.50 for a chicken kebab is just outrageous.

The prices have been raised extremely in the last few weeks and are no longer competitive, not to say an outrage! The kebab was increased from 4.30 to 4.80€ and about 2 weeks ago to 6.50€ and only with their piro sauce. This is just one item on the new menu. Lamajun with white cheese now €5.90! And if you think that there is at least a little tea for free like before, you are wrong! Certainly the quality of the food is quite good, but not commensurate with the prices! 01/2025: Doner pita with lamb €8.50. Köfte Pita €9.50

Enjoy your meal. Unfortunately it's impossible to reserve a table by phone as we can never be reached.

I really think your service is so bad! Preferably minus points. Went there today with the family. First of all, why do you have to discuss it if you want to order something extra on your meal? I don't understand!!! The facial expressions and gestures from today's waiter (of Indian origin, I guess) made it obvious that he wasn't in the mood. Simply the way he deals with the guests, I come from the catering industry myself and I would work like the gentleman. Shouldn't I be surprised that I end up without a good tip at the end of the day? First you wait until someone comes, then the waiter is simply unfriendly and not service-oriented and then the food that we had ordered as a special request doesn't taste good. The waiter didn't even say goodbye just because we didn't leave a tip. In my opinion, there are no tips for bad service. Take a service training course Dear Piro employees. Food was pretty good except for pide, pizza and stuff like that. Pide was really unbearable, meat baked to death and dry. You just notice that there is no longer any emphasis on cleanliness, good service and friendliness, because you think the store runs that way. You're just lucky in a good location. And please, if you are already making such a turnover, then renovate the toilet facility.

Averagely good food in a manageable quantity at a normal price. New ambience in a modern snack bar style. The toilets seem new - but please clean them regularly... Friendly and attentive staff. Not enough for four stars, I'm sorry.

Tastiest restaurant always come to Bielefeld 3-4 hours for this restaurant. Good recommendation 👍🏻

Until the renovation, we always enjoyed staying there every week. Up until then it had always tasted very good and the price-performance ratio was also good. When we were there after the renovation was completed, we immediately noticed the extremely high prices. When we ordered our pide again, which had become €2 and €3 more expensive, we immediately noticed that there was no side salad like before (despite the increased prices!). The portions of fries and tzatziki have also become smaller. You have the feeling that you have to personally pay for the renovation. It's a shame, I used to really enjoy being there...

BEWARE RIP-OFF! The waiters cheat the customers from start to finish. Invented prices are charged that do not match the prices on the card. Sometimes they charge €5-10 more than you actually have to pay. There is no invoice or receipt and when asked, they act as if they had made a mistake. I've been there twice now and this happened both times. RIP-OFF STORE!!!!! Food and ambience 2-3 out of 5 stars nothing special

Insane mixed appetizer plate. It tastes so wild that sometimes I just eat the starter plate with the fresh bread for breakfast. It's a 10 out of 10 and the rest of course too but starter plate over-the-top!!!!

The prices were excessively increased and the portions slimmed down. I was shocked when I read the prices for large tea, small tea, Ayran. That doesn't work at all. Service top! Food tastes good!

The service is friendly and attentive. The food is delicious if you like Turkish cuisine. You can watch the cake at work. When the restaurant is very full, it gets loud and table conversations become increasingly tiring. The toilet facility in the basement cannot be recommended for people with walking difficulties or older people, as there are steep stairs leading down. There are missing railings on both sides.

My wife brought me a kebab... She ordered a kebab with everything, no onions and extra cocktail sauce.. At home I got a kebab "Bread & Meat"! Everything was simply forgotten...and she paid the full price on the spot. I also tried to call to “complain”, they answered and hung up straight away! No hello, nothing... Complete impudence! That's not possible!

A very nice place with delicious food ;)

Great place for lunch snack! Very nice service staff, everything makes a great impression, open kitchen, tasty, well-kept.

Classic restaurant for kebab, Adana and Co. Cool atmosphere, there's always something to see, there's a lot of walk-in customers. Vibrant restaurant in the trendy district of Bielefeld. We like it a lot. Quality fits. Card payments have also been introduced after years of waiting. We will continue to stop by for a doner beyti or an Adana kebap. Keep it up!

The ambience is good! Unfortunately the prices are far too high and the price-performance ratio is no longer right!

We went with 2 friends, the atmosphere and service were very nice, it was very fast, it was a satisfying and delicious meal, I was very pleased, thank you piro restaurant 🤗

Very tasty food, friendly staff. Any time.

Since the renovation, the Turk says he has a Ritz Carlton restaurant. Prices are way too high, Adana just put canned tomatoes on it, toilets are good now, I baked a lot of it!
