Zadem in Köln

Had breakfast here for the first time today and was really impressed! Super nice shop. Were served by Ahmet, who does a great job. Very attentive waiter. Happy to come back!

Great location, varied breakfast and with super nice & attentive service (thanks to Ahmet!)...We felt completely at home and will definitely come back!

We were at Zadem last week and drove here from another federal state because the hype is so big. However, I have to say I was very disappointed. Apparently not every customer is given the same value, because the influencers get extra value as it is presented on the social network. I found the employees very unprofessional and they seemed annoyed when I asked questions. We had a small child with us and we weren't even offered a high chair. We had to wait a long time for our mezze when we asked and was told it was coming soon, which meant our food got cold. The food wasn't bad, but I wouldn't go there again as I felt very uncomfortable in the store. It seemed like we weren't welcome.

Very very bad loading. Both the service and the food. The künafe didn't taste good at all. It was dry and when I asked the waitress about it she just said that was her opinion. I would have expected that a new künafe would be made for me. The store is also pretty overpriced. We have for Paid 3 teas and a künafe €25

super delicious food & friendly service 😃

Very tasty hummus dishes. Extremely friendly staff.

You have to book in advance, despite our messages no response and once there we were the only people but waited 10 minutes, service not the best, after asking for ketchup and mayo 3 times (once my fries were cold ) I received it. Otherwise the food was good. Hopefully the service wasn't exceptionally great this day. Damage

We had breakfast near Zadar this week. Unfortunately the service was terribly bad. The waiter was unfriendly and probably got up on the wrong foot. The store was very cold and I had to put my jacket over my lap because I was so cold. The breakfast was quite ok except for the gözleme, which unfortunately we didn't like at all because they were filled with Gouda instead of white cheese. The minced meat filling also had Gouda in it, which I don't know from Turkish cuisine and wasn't noted on the menu was. Unfortunately there is no value for money.

I had the menemen sucuk pan. Everything was fresh, tasty and quickly prepared. Great!👍🏽

A real pleasure experience. If you like a Turkish breakfast, this is the place for you. Above all, the staff is very nice. Danar and Ahmet made our stay sweeter. Thanks for that! P.S. All because of Angel!!! 😙🫶🏻

Top brunch at Zadem!!! Food great! Great location! Service toppp!!! Thanks Ahmet! All because of Angel🤣🫶🏽

Very nice atmosphere, lovely and competent staff and the food was super delicious!

I was there today with my husband... this place is a big disappointment!! Very cold inside I had to sit with a jacket on the whole time, it was just as cold as outside. FOOD was a disaster, no taste and very expensive. In the end, not even a goodbye Said... even though we gave a tip!!! This store will never see us again!

Very tasty breakfast and, despite being busy, extremely friendly and excellent service. Reservations here are a MUST because there's a reason the place is packed (at least during breakfast on the weekend). The breakfast for 2 is very generous and would easily feed 3 people. We had a lot of fun and felt and completely pampered. Thank you, ❤️

If you are unable to organize reservations via Instagram (no answer) then you should perhaps think about introducing an electronic reservation. Should be standard by now.

It was amazing, the breakfast was sooo delicious. We haven’t had that good turkish breakfast even in Türkiye!

Simply great! Very nice service and great breakfast, highly recommended

Went there today as a group of 10 for a birthday brunch, great atmosphere, always had plenty of Turkish tea thanks to our waiter Ahmet. Everyone was super attentive, the breakfast plates were very well filled and everything was very fresh, from cheese to sucuk the pieces of fruit! Thank you very much and see you soon!

Unfortunately, all that remained after the visit was the smell of grease in the clothes: - Service is great - Ambience, well. You should decide whether you are a bar or a restaurant - Food comes very quickly and is solid. But it's a bit arbitrary.

Everything is perfect. Thank you very much 🙏🤗

The perfect place for people who don't have a problem with cold, cramped conditions, noise and unfriendly staff. Then you are in good hands there. For me it's nothing.

We were there for the first time today. The ambience and the food were great! There were also many vegetarian options. Unfortunately we had a seat where the waiters could hardly see us. Unfortunately our dessert order was lost and we waited a total of an hour for it to arrive. But we apologized three times and in the end we were even given dessert. We thought that was really nice. Mistakes can happen but how you deal with them is important. At this point, thank you again for the hospitable service. If we are in Cologne again, we would be happy to come back.

Unfortunately we were not satisfied with the service. The waitress seemed to be inexperienced and we had to wait a long time before we could order - our order was only taken when we asked. For the prices, which are higher due to the location, we would have expected better service and higher quality, as we are used to in Weidengasse. At least we got a free takeaway dessert as an apology.

Be careful with the bill!!! Even though the amount on the card was significantly lower and on the website, the cashier charged me more. I showed her the amount on the card. She commented on it with 'then the price is not updated'. The small amount is also available online. I feel a little ripped off.

We had breakfast yesterday and what can I say? An ABSOLUTE 10/10!!!! I would give more stars if I could! Beautifully prepared, it's a feast for the eyes!! Everything tasted great! Great tea! I celebrated Bazlama Toast and Gözleme the most! It felt like home. We don't want to be without the store anymore 😍

We were guests at this restaurant at the weekend and we didn't regret "ending up" there. The food was freshly prepared, tasted delicious, especially the salads and the service was very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is inviting, you feel welcome. I'd be happy to come back again sometime. Greetings Heike

We spontaneously went to brunch with a large group and got a great place without a reservation. The food came quickly and was super tasty! Great service too, definitely a recommendation!!

We had the brunch platter for 3. It was more than enough for 3 people, extremely varied and, above all, delicious. The service is very attentive and always there to refill Çay. We particularly noticed the blonde, young man (Achmet Abi) with his friendly, bright manner. Can only be recommended for brunch. There is a parking garage 3 minutes away, which is easily accessible.

Great shop, pleasant atmosphere, I'll be happy to come back and a great blonde waiter

I can really only recommend this restaurant! The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was very inviting. I would particularly like to highlight the blonde waiter who served us. His kindness and attentiveness made the evening even more enjoyable. He not only gave us excellent advice, but also made sure that we felt completely comfortable. A real highlight of the evening - we will definitely be back!

Getting food cold. Service with the blonde hair totally overwhelmed and unfriendly. Price performance far too expensive for the food you get

Everything that is ordered tastes 100%. Service is also top. Many thanks to Ahmet. 🙌🏼 😊

We went for breakfast today, it was very tasty, very friendly staff, we even got a pancake plate as a gift.

Great here! Already here for the second time. The food phenomenal. We had to wait 15 minutes until we got a great table by the window. The organization at the door to wait was also handled very fairly and confidently.

Zadem was a halal brunch spot I came across when searching for brunch in cologne. The place was very busy so I would definitely recommend reserving a table before visiting. The breakfast platter which contained a variation of cheese, salads, omelette with sucuk and bread was definitely a popular option in the restaurant and was very nice. The pistachio pancakes could’ve been better as I felt the middle layers were a bit too dry. Other than that it was a very good experience and the staff were very friendly and helpful!

Waited 20 minutes to place an order. 3 waiters place and just sit around… never again… sry

Very tasty brunch, great and attentive service. Good value for money. Highly recommended for a nice Sunday morning. Child friendly.

The food is very tasty and came very quickly. Service is great, gladly again.

Very DISAPPOINTING….Unfortunately more appears than is! Location is nice, service is so good, cleanliness is ok, women's toilet is disgusting. We recently tried the brunch platter for two people in the Zadem restaurant, which cost 40 euros. The platter came, but it was disappointingly small and the portions weren't very large, with lots of bread you'll definitely be full. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to our expectations. Given the price, we honestly expected more and something fresh, cold fries Inedible, cheeses so soft, we had to scrape them out of the plate. Unfortunately, fruit is about to dry out. Salad was fresh, omelette with fetal cheese was delicious. Given the prices, it's better to have brunch somewhere else in Cologne.

Very cozy and the food is great.

Been there several times, very tasty food, service and ambience. Good playlist ;)

Very very tasty food. The atmosphere was also very pleasant. Very nice staff.

Great service with nice girls and the store looks very relaxed!!!

It was so amazing 🌻nice service they pay you so much attention..make you feel home ♥️I love ittttttt

Scrambled eggs were way too salty, pide was brought with raw, unfinished dough, cappuccino had too much milk in it, hardly any foam...maybe it wasn't a good day in the shop today. It was a little chaotic in the store, orders are written down on small pieces of paper. We were there for the first time and we won't come again.

The pide was very tasty! Short waiting times and nice staff!

On the recommendation of my colleague Serkan, I visited the establishment, large selection of food and drinks, very nice, courteous staff. I visited Zadem with my family, my mother is actually a very skeptical woman who doesn't like trying new things, she was thrilled and Zadem is our go-to restaurant when we are in Cologne from time to time. I ordered a pide, unfortunately I can't remember the name, but it was by far the best pide my mouth tasted, slight note of thyme that reminded me of my childhood. It definitely needs to be repeated, as many thanks to the whole team who turned a supposedly normal restaurant visit into a wonderful taste experience!😊

Delicious food, nice waiters! Recommendation :)

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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 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 :)

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.

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.

We got food poisoning from the cheesecake!!!

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.

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 :)

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

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 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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!!!
