Zadem in Köln

There are few locations with such an atmosphere and such a great team. I have rarely seen such a warm waitress. We really felt so comfortable. The breakfast was A1 and there was no stress. The hype is definitely worth it. We will definitely come back. Thank you very much for everything!

Unfortunately we didn't like the food at all. After a few bites we left the food. When I looked at neighboring tables it was no different. Be it pide or köfte. Service staff can't do that but the chef definitely needs to be changed. The ambience wasn't bad, but everything was too cramped and the chairs were unfortunately dirty. For us it was a failure...

Unfortunately I can't comment on the food. However, the staff should pay more attention to your reservations. We were given a place after a very long wait, but we didn't get this place because a reservation was missed. An apology would have been appropriate after 40 minutes of waiting, but the waiter had a different opinion. We ended up leaving because they couldn't organize space.

Fries were cold and soggy, after reheating they were just greasy and inedible. Toast was covered with disgustingly greasy meat and greasy cheese. If I could have thrown my money in the trash, then I wouldn't be so sick now. Waitress was nice and I wanted to give myself a dessert, but I felt really sick and just wanted to leave. To pay by card, only put it on the phone and don't put it in it!!!

Truly a wonderful experience! The brunch platter for two is more than enough! Especially with the offer of refills on the chai! And you now pay almost the same at a bakery chain. The service was excellent, we were treated really well. A special recommendation!

Super delicious breakfast offer. Tea is refilled as often as you like and the food is beautifully prepared with a lot of love. The prices are reasonable. It's best to reserve in advance - but you can find a suitable spot even without a reservation.

Unfortunately I waited 25 minutes and saw that guests who arrived after me were given priority. I just got up and left. Nobody was interested either. Wow. What a friendly waitress, blonde with a braided ponytail. Thanks

Super delicious food in a beautiful atmosphere! In between, the waiters even go around with small sample plates - great idea! However, if you go for breakfast on Sundays, you should get there early because there will quickly be a very long line.

We were there on Sunday and wanted to order something. The waitress didn't come to our table until at least 15 minutes later. Our drinks and our food also came much later + my coffee only tasted like cheese and my tea glass was dirty and the coffee cup already had a huge crack in it, if you had pulled it apart it would have been broken. The prices are outrageous for what they offer and in the end we wanted to pay and asked the waiter to come and that took a long time until we got up and went to the front to pay. When we were at the front, the waiter went straight to our table and put the things away. Never zadem again

As the first guests of the day (arriving at 10 a.m.), we had to wait 50 minutes for our order (1 breakfast for 2 people). Meanwhile, other guests who arrived after us were served earlier. Additionally, their orders were larger with early service. When we asked what was wrong with our order, we were told "it went down". We definitely didn't have that impression because the service staff walked past our table several times. We were received very unfriendly and disrespected. Despite asking and telling us what happened with our order, we were told that staff would be coming "immediately", but no one came to our table. For whatever reason, we felt like we were intentionally not served. Therefore this store receives 0 out of 5 stars! We can highly recommend the beautiful restaurant opposite. At the "ROMEO ROMEO" we received an extremely warm welcome with friendly table assignments, perfect service, fresh food and great offerings. ZADEM still has a lot of catching up to do.

Yesterday we spontaneously went for breakfast in Zadem. We had to wait a bit at the door because it was pretty full inside, but we were offered tea so we could warm ourselves. When we were at our table, we were greeted by the lovely Ahmet and unfortunately I don't remember the names of the other two girls, very well served cay was there all the time without asking and was refilled. And a little tip when you go out to eat outside you should always be understanding and don't understand some of the comments here. I'd love to come back!

Super delicious brunch. Ahmed is a super attentive and sweet waiter. We'd love to come back.

It's an oriantal Flair! We took a brunch here and it was good! You can drink tea as much as you want! We were 5 people and were content! It's a nice place and the waiters are very friendly.

Bad service and the food gave me a stomach ache. Not recommended.

We were hardly noticed the whole evening. Waiters don't take orders, food is brought forever later. We wanted to pay, but it took forever until we got to the front ourselves to pay. And lo and behold, our table could suddenly be cleared straight away, but there wasn't enough for any service. For these prices it's absolutely not worth it

What I really like is the ambience and the attention from our waiter. Ahmet always made sure that our drinks were full, whether we would like anything more - in other words, very friendly and accommodating. Your Bettina

Super tasty and good portions. 1 star deducted because unfortunately it took a little long.

Were there for the second time. It's very aesthetic. However, the employees are always slightly overwhelmed when there is something more going on there. Given the prices, it's better to have brunch somewhere else in Cologne.

There were lots of Mosquito inside the restaurant and when I complained they told me it is normal and even didnt say sorry.

Horribly stale tea, the man is playing on the phone, the waiters don't know anything about anything, we ordered breakfast for 3 people, they bought it for 4 people, I couldn't tell because I had a guest, it's terrible, it's terrible 😢

We spontaneously dined here late in the evening on a Saturday. We got a table without any problem. Service was very friendly and the food was good and sufficient. Highly recommended Turkish tea. Price-performance is completely okay.

I never rate it but I had to here. I've been there twice now. I have to say very bad and expensive food. Service was a disaster, we waited 10 minutes for bread, the food was already cold and I had a stomach ache at the end. Never again!

Expensive moruk. Like I'm eating gold. But hey good.

Went there spontaneously on a Saturday evening. Luckily there was still a spot available. The card is available here via QR code, which is printed on a slate plate. Service was quick, food was tasty, good portions. Service and bar nice and accommodating. Unfortunately it was a bit colder that evening. Unfortunately, the entrance door kept opening, which made it really cold on our feet at times. When it comes to toilets, I would probably be with the Lords of Creation. an additional joy. We liked the concept and the idea. Price/performance ratio definitely fits. Both card and cash payments possible.

We spontaneously visited Zadem for brunch today and had to wait a little longer until free tables were cleared so we could sit down. The breakfast platter for two was very tasty, but we were rather dissatisfied with the service. The employees were understaffed, which we noticed especially when we wanted to pay. We asked three different employees if we could pay and ended up having to do this ourselves at the bar.

We didn't make a reservation, but we didn't have to wait that long on a Saturday and we also got tea while we waited. Ordering the brunch platter for two was definitely enough! Service was also super nice :)

Quality venue. A warm environment... prices are affordable and there is no fear of being ripped off..

Great local! Great ambience and food, you feel like you're in Turkey. The staff is very friendly. The waiter Ahmet is particularly attentive. Thank you for the outstanding service

I went there for brunch on a friend's birthday in December. We opted for the breakfast platter for four people and got all you can drink çay with it. There was a little bit of everything, so everyone was fed and could help themselves. Above all, the look of the record was beautiful. The service was very nice, polite and competent and the atmosphere was beautifully designed. All in all, there's nothing wrong with it, so I'll give it my recommendation.

The worst thing that ever happened to me. There were three of us, a plate for two. There was more decoration than food on this one. My side dish of fries was decorated by a haarloxke from the cook. ALL YOU CAN DRINK? We could only drink two glasses because it was never refilled. And we also had to wait another 30 minutes to pay. Although there was hardly anything going on.

We got food poisoning from the cheesecake!!!

If you are going to have breakfast at this place, you need to make a reservation in advance, otherwise you can enter by waiting in front of the door. Breakfast takes a while to arrive, you may have to wait approximately 30 to 45 minutes. The breakfast may seem mediocre to those who are accustomed to open buffet breakfasts. The atmosphere is nice, the staff cannot keep up with it because it is crowded, and since it is not an open buffet, the breakfast comes from inside and as I said, you have to wait. The price is a bit expensive compared to the open buffet. Around 19 euros for one person. Pitas, menemen and sausage varieties served in the open buffet are extra here. I think it would be nicer to see it as a cafe in the evening. It is necessary to try.

I would like to complain about my last take-out order. Unfortunately, I was not satisfied with the quantity of food delivered. In addition, the order was incorrectly excluded. Despite the high expectations of your restaurant, the portions were very small and not what I am used to. This was disappointing as I was looking forward to a tasty and filling meal. The salad was too dark (old) and the toast looked unappetizing I asked for a review of this incident, to which I was cheekily replied, “That’s just the way it is!” We didn't come up with an appropriate solution

The service and atmosphere were good but the price-performance was not good. They offer a bad breakfast plate for the money you pay. The breakfast plate may look nice from the outside, but it is an overrated place.

Today we had a platter for two people for breakfast... Plus extra pancakes that had nothing to do with pancakes... The avocado salad also had nothing to do with avocado salad. Almost nothing inside tastes like nothing. The rest was very tasty… Unfortunately, the women's toilet was very dirty and there was only one available. The waiters were very nice, but with the clearing up and asking every now and then if you would like something else. You still have to practice. Be sure to reserve a table in advance, otherwise there will be long waiting times…

Have the big breakfast for 2 people. We didn't really like the food. Service was unfortunately poor

I recommend Zadem restaurant to everyone. We were very happy with my husband. The atmosphere, the taste of the food, the friendliness of the staff and the hospitality are first class.

Pretty much slacked off...it used to be better...prices not justified...cold tea...plate looked like someone who had moved the sausage slices from one plate to the next...service was lousy...broken plates So goodbye to the store

The place is mega central. But we don't eat places, we eat the menu. Food was ok? You could eat. But nothing exclusive. The portions were meager. On the brunch plate there were only a few olives, two pieces of cheese, a slice of cucumber and a cherry tomato halved. For a fairly hefty price of €19. I wish the food was as tasty as the price was. All in all it was the first and last time for me, ah yes, orange juice in a mini glass with more ice cubes for 5€ is anything but humane. You can eat better everywhere else for less money, in my opinion either the prices or the portions should be adjusted. So the price-performance ratio is definitely not in balance.

Very tasty and always fresh Prepared You just have to wait a long time for tea And of course the price is also a bit high But otherwise everything is good

Unfortunately mass...instead of great...the quality is not as high as it appears in the pictures...it's a shame

Very nice restaurant with great Turkish cuisine! A large selection of freshly made breakfasts and lunches, as well as delicious desserts🤤 friendly staff and a beautifully decorated shop!

We discovered Zadem on Instagram and really wanted to try the brunch platter for 2. It was super tasty and varied. Turkish tea was all you can drink. The staff was friendly and we had a nice time there :)

We had breakfast at Zadem today. The food tasted very good and the service was super friendly and attentive. We would definitely come back. Great team!

The food was delicious. The service is very friendly - but the prices are very high - especially for drinks - a homemade lemonade for €7.50 - a cappuccino just under €5

Great discovery: delicious dishes and cocktails; the staff is smiling and efficient.

The Zadem restaurant in Cologne, right next to the Stadtgarten, is a really great place to eat deliciously and feel good. The ambience is modern, but still really cozy – just the right mix. Special praise goes to the waitress Sila, who is super friendly and attentive and makes you feel completely comfortable. A really nice spot to spend a relaxing evening or hang out with friends.

They don't even change people's tea cups even though we tell them to.

We were there for the first time. The waitress only came after 10 minutes. The table was still dirty from the previous one. Without bringing us the menu she asked us if we already knew what we were getting. Very unsympathetic, unfriendly staff. The food itself was okay but overpriced. You didn't feel welcome at all. When we wanted the bill it only came after half an hour. Not recommended… Wouldn't go there again.

Unfortunately, more appears than is! Location nice, service was ok, food unfortunately not as good as we imagined. We ordered breakfast for two people, with menemen as a pan dish, and what came to the table was a tomato sauce that was cooked too quickly with scrambled eggs on the side, the onions and peppers in there were still almost raw and not cooked, absolutely unseasoned. I sent the pan back, but what they brought back to me wasn't any better! But the worst thing was the pita bread 🍞 it was still raw inside, so it wasn't baked through, I had to use my fingers to pull the raw dough out of the middle so I could eat it. I told the waitress that, her statement was, [I know I've heard this a lot lately that the bread isn't baked through] Hello?! If you know it, why don't you do it better? It's a real shame for such a beautiful shop, hopefully the owner reads this review and takes care of his kitchen staff! It would be best if he tried the bread and menemen in his shop himself! We'll definitely come back for breakfast when things get better! Otherwise we think the shop is very nice.

The worst shop I have tested as a restaurateur. A very limited menu selection, the orders come after a very long wait which reflects the quality of the staff. Food and drinks come randomly according to your mood. Don't let the previous comments influence you, a very unprofessional upload which is definitely not recommended!!!

The breakfast was actually quite tasty. At €20 per person it would have been nice to have spent the few cents more on real pastirma instead of fake molded meat pastirma. You only get 2 slices or so anyway, so you really don't have to save a few cents right now. In addition, the tea was not refilled once. So unlimited tea is unfortunately only on paper.

the waiter Ahmet was extremely friendly, I am very satisfied with the service 😍😍😍 will definitely come back!!!!

Delicious food, even special requests due to allergies were taken into account. Thanks to Ahmed for the great service 😉

We were here today and had the best waiter ever Ahmed! Great advice, great service and always friendly and very nice. Next time we'll take the bet that the plates will be empty. We girls had a great breakfast. Thank you very much, we'll be happy to come back

Great service from Ahmed, thank you very much! Great advice. Ambience very nice! Cozy Everyone very friendly. Ahmed especially. Food was great, always happy.

Ahmet is a humorous and ambitious young man who makes the dining experience very special! The food is very tasty, overall I can only recommend Zadem.

We (three adults and two small children) had breakfast at Zadem on Tuesday. Our waiter (Ahmet) was friendly and gave us the time we needed to order and afterwards. We noticed how he interacted with the two small children in a very positive way. He was very attentive, patient and kind with them, even if they sometimes got a little louder. As a small, nice gesture, a lovely waitress handed out mini pancakes to the guests. The breakfast was very tasty and filling. With fresh orange juice, you should pay more attention to ensuring that there are not too many seeds in the glass. Unfortunately we had to fish out many of them ourselves. Otherwise everything was great.

Ahmed and Gülsün are great service people. And bring a really good atmosphere to the store.

Today we were at Zadem in Cologne for the first time, not only the great brunch, but also the friendly team with Ahmed and Gülsün made us very happy.

Zadem once again impressed me with its pleasant atmosphere. I always look forward to brunch there because the selection of food and drinks is diverse and appealing. Whether savory or sweet, there is something for every taste. The service was, as always, excellent. The staff are always friendly and attentive. I would particularly like to highlight Ahmet, whose courtesy made our visit even more pleasant. His attentiveness and professionalism ensure that as a guest you feel welcome and well looked after. I highly recommend a visit to Zadem. The brunch offer in particular should not be missed.

Perfect Turkish brunch, with good service!

Great place, really great brunch plates The taste is really good and also super interesting. Staff is super friendly

We went for breakfast because everything was very tasty 😋 Service was also great. Can only be recommended

The food was very tasty, dear Ahmet served us very friendly and we would like to thank him very much

Super delicious breakfast! We had the vegetarian brunch platter for 2 and two fresh orange juice. At the Next time we will definitely try the pancakes too

We came here for three menemen and three teas, but they had no taste and the price was too high. Even half of it wouldn't work anywhere else. We are Sunni and we have nothing to do with these Shias.

Bestellung kam falsch. Schmeck nicht. Schmeckt nach Fertiggericht. Zu wenig auf den Tellern. Ich bin trotz vorspeise nicht Satt geworden. Die Preise für diese Qualität viel zu teuer. Im ausssenbereich wackeln die Tische.

DON'T BE FOOLED BY INSTAGRAM AND THE OTHER REVIEWS. One of the worst restaurant visits I've ever had. Waiters absolutely incompetent. Bring me orange juice with all the SEEDS. EVEN THOUGH I SAID PLEASE TAKE IT AWAY, there were no seeds in it. Food is a joke. Eggs not cooked through, and small portion, but as we all know, the taste is debatable. Instagram promises an experience that is simply not true. When I asked if we liked it and my answer was no, I was simply given the bill without further ado. Once and never again.

Were there 15 minutes ago, very tasty food and top service, very nice waiters and very polite. Looking forward to next time 😁

Best service and delicious food

On our short trip to Cologne we stopped at Zadem. The ambience at Zadem is inviting and cozy, with tasteful furnishings that perfectly complement the atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the food very much. We had a mezze platter first and as main courses: Zadem's self-made iskender, Batu's darling, penne chicken and mushroom cream sauce and the avocado halloumi salad.

We recently tried brunch for two at Zadem restaurant, which cost 40 euros. Unfortunately, the experience did not meet our expectations. Despite the rather small number of guests and a not particularly large location, the two waitresses were overwhelmed. We had to wait a long time for our table to be cleared even though it wasn't very busy. It also took some time to take the order because we first had to get the waitress's attention. Additionally, the tea we ordered was cold when it was finally served. Given the price, we honestly expected more. It would be nice if the staff were more organized and attentive to provide guests with a more pleasant experience.

Unfortunately, I absolutely don't understand the hype. Based on the ambience, maybe yes. It's really a really nice shop. For dinner we ordered a brunch platter and also pancakes. The platter arrived, but was disappointingly small and portion-wise. But that's just a matter of perception. What was sad was that the fries were soaked in grease and not at all edible. We got new ones upon request, but it was basically the same. Tea is constantly being refilled, it was said that the waitresses go around and pour some more, but unfortunately that's not the case at all. My highlight was that we wanted to pay and then saw the bill for almost €50. Where we didn't even get the pancakes 😂. Upon request, this was removed from the bill, but it was still disappointing. I've seen some restaurants with better offerings. That's really a pity. And I traveled 2 hours.

Even 1 star is too much. We sat in the store for 3 hours, the store was almost empty. Nevertheless, it wasn't until an hour later that someone came to take our order. 30 minutes until the food came, fine. It was neither cleared away nor asked if everything was OK, if we wanted dessert or if we wanted something to drink. Then we went to pay, we called the waiters, we were asked whether we wanted to pay with cash or card, our answer was partly/partly. After 10 minutes someone came and said card payment wouldn't work because the device was broken and water had been poured over it. No problem, we pay in cash. After 15 minutes someone came again and asked again whether we would like to pay in cash or by card. After 10 minutes you were told in a disrespectful and derogatory manner that you had to go to the checkout. We stood at the checkout for another 10 minutes until we were finally able to pay. By the way, the waitress took the reader to a table, apparently not broken after all. The food was delicious, at least one plus point is to still give this shop a wide berth!

Unfortunately it wasn't stated in advance that you couldn't make a reservation for outside. But we were allowed to sit at the open window. The brunch platters are mega. The three of us didn't manage to eat everything

The food was really very tasty. There is nothing. We had 2 menemen pans. One with sucuk and the other with sucuk and feta. Plus breakfast fries. And two drinks 47.50€ The pans were small. The prices for this are very high. 2 of 3 waiters who served seemed very uninterested. Thank you, please and have a nice day shooting foreign words. Reservations are only possible via Instagram. Big minus point!! Finally, I have to say that the store is very nicely decorated and it is really very clean.

The filled bread: some of the dough was still raw. The fried potatoes were fried potato wedges and soft. There was also hummus, which wasn't a revelation, and a small salad. Nothing to make me go again or recommend it.

The very best restaurant in Cologne by far!! especially the breakfast there is just wow. I recommend the brunch platters. The pancakes are also fantastic! The service is super attentive. The atmosphere and the audience are super relaxed. The ambience gives you holiday feelings. All in one just great :)

Were there in the evening, great atmosphere and very nice service, highly recommended!

More appearance than reality, food is relatively overpriced and the service isn't really good.

Very good food and delicious tea, I recommend! 👊

Nice place, delicious food, waiter Ahmet was very friendly🤗

Went to Zadem for brunch with the girls on Sunday. The best Turkish breakfast in Cologne! Service is 50/50 but kudos to Ahmet! Very attentive and kind! 👍 gladly again!

Nice restaurant where you can try Turkish breakfast. Large portions and very tasty! Many thanks to Ahmet for the nice service.

Ahmed was so personable, served us really well and would love to come back! Tesekkürler for everything ☺️ Food was great too ❤️

One of the best places to have breakfast in this city. The only thing that it is busy place and the tables are very close to each other. Not all of the staff can speak english but they do try their best though. If you are hungry, it will be your best choice.

Very dear waiters here today - Ahmet and Angel great 👏

Very tasty food, super friendly and fast service. I felt very comfortable. This is my second time here and there will be several more visits here. The service with the neck tattoo was super nice

The food was good, but the service needs a lot of improvement.

Nice and spacious. Staff seem a little disjointed in service but friendly enough. Very nice waitress greeted us. The food was okay, but there is better around Köln for the price to be honest.

The breakfast was very good, but the waitress didn't clear our table for half an hour and gave us a menu after 45 minutes.

Everything was fine until I had a silverfish in my cocoa 🤦🏼‍♀️😐

Das Essen war gut! Der Service auch! Allerdings wurden uns anstatt 112€ ( inklusive 4€ Trinkgeld) 120€ berechnet. Abzocke. Leider werden wir deswegen nicht wieder kommen!

Eat good! Service ok! Be careful when paying! Had it for €108, wanted to give €112, we were charged €120! Unfortunately, never again!

The staff is very bad, it seems like they put them in the venue to prevent them from entering, and the venue is very narrow. I do not recommend it in any way.

Very friendly, very nice, great food

You have to be able to speak Turkish before you can get a waiter or waitress at your table. We waited for almost 15 minutes until we were spoken to. The table next to us arrived after us but already got drinks and food before us. So service is an absolute disgrace. 👎👎👎

The food was absolutely unseasoned and we had to wait a long time for the food. Although the store wasn't that crowded. Everything seemed very uncoordinated, even between the waiters

Too overpriced and the food doesn't even taste good. Were there today because the pictures said more. The food isn't even tasty. Big disappointment, we drove an extra hour there. Never again.
