Zadem in Köln

Delicious food and friendly waiters.

I went there with four colleagues to break my fast, and it was definitely worth it. Everything was great, the prices reflect the quality of the dishes. It was very, very tasty that evening, and there's more choice than I thought. Highly recommended. {A little tip: always make a reservation because it's most likely to be full.}

mega delicious food the team was very nice and served well

Super delicious and very friendly! I can only recommend it :)😍

Small Turkish restaurant, food very tasty and fresh, portions quite large, you get full well, service sometimes a bit inattentive

Breakfast is delicious. Rose jam. The taste remained in my palate. Tea service is late and the thermoses are cold. A real Turkish breakfast cannot be complete without well-brewed clear tea. It's a nice place if the bread is hot. We will come again.

Great service and top selection of food. The dessert is more than satisfying. Thank you very much and see you soon.

The staff is super friendly and the food is very tasty. I can only recommend it.

We were there for iftar and were pleasantly surprised. We had little things to complain about but everything was ironed out by the service staff. First of all we had a Mercimek soup and the meze platter. Both were very tasty. The main courses - vegetarian Batu's favorite dish and chicken stir fry. Both dishes were well seasoned, so we didn't have to add any seasoning. Absolutely recommended. The only criticism: too much bread that couldn't be eaten.

I don't understand the hype. Mega expensive. Completely tasteless food. We were four people. Three of them left their food behind. and waiting time for food 30 minutes. And still cold. Was there for the first time today. Cannot recommend it

Waited far too long, completely tasteless food. The manti taste like it came from the freezer. Never again!

wonderful place for both brunch and dinner

Very nice location with very good food, everything tasted wonderful. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive, highly recommended

The food was very nice and the portions were generous. Sadly they didn’t have knafeh on the day I went, and instead I had the Sam Sebastian cheesecake, which was also nice but a little too sweet.

very nice place, very delicious and good service

San Sebastian tasted like eggs. It made me sick. Couldn't finish eating.

Wonderful place for brunch but also for a fancy dinner. 🌸 The atmosphere, the ambience, everything is just great. Super nice waiters who are attentive. (LG to Angel😘)

The food was very tasty and the price was right. We would like to eat there again.

The Zadem in Cologne is a great restaurant with delicious dishes and high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere is modern and cozy, so you immediately feel at home. The service is friendly, attentive and ensures a pleasant experience. The Ginstanbul cocktails in particular are a highlight and go perfectly with the food. An all-round successful evening – highly recommended!

The two of us were there for breakfast and unfortunately had to wait outside in the cold for more than half an hour. However, since the store was packed, we were hoping it would be worth the wait. Inside, however, it was anything but comfortable. The tables are so close together that you feel like you're sitting at the same table with strangers. There can be no question of privacy. The service was a disaster! We had to wait half an hour just to order. When we later ordered more tea, we only got it long after our breakfast was ready - despite repeated requests. While the food was good, it was definitely not good enough to warrant waiting in line for that long a second time. You can get better service and at least as good a breakfast anywhere else – without all the stress. Therefore it is not worth it for us to come back again.

Very cute restaurant/cafe, very tasty food and exceptional selection, very committed people who work there, find a quick solution, would recommend to everyone, I come from Dortmund, if I were to be in Cologne again, I would definitely come here again. F. Kil

Super tasty and friendly. I can recommend it to everyone.

Everything TOP!! Heartfelt recommendation for everyone who is in Cologne.

Zadem has my heart when it comes to the location. Very comfortable, you could chat with friends for hours (especially in summer). However, there is unfortunately a real need for improvement when it comes to food. We were there so many times and tried a wide variety of dishes (because we love the ambience) The cappuccino/latte is also always too hot because the milk is overheated (the portafilter is probably used without the person knowing how to do it) If these few aspects were adjusted, the location would be a 10/10

Food was good. The dessert was the best. Staff is very helpful. I don't know why, but I didn't feel completely comfortable.

We waited outside the store for about 30 minutes because it was full. Afterwards a group came who didn't have a reservation (which was clear in advance because they asked if the place was full). A gentleman came out and then recognized one of the group and said that they had a reservation. When talking to another waitress, we learned that they really didn't have a reservation, but they were still allowed in before us and others. A very poor service with little leniency for waiting customers.

The Zadem is a very cozy café restaurant. It is very crowded at any time of the day. The food is very tasty and the selection was also good, definitely recommended :). But the service could be significantly better for the price. It took about 20-30 minutes for someone to even come to order. Fortunately, the food came quicker. Clearing away empty bowls or asking every now and then if you would like something else could also be improved a lot. That's how it was when we wanted to order a café, more drinks and food, no one came (even after making eye contact and letting us know) which is why we left earlier than we wanted. In the end it's just a loss of money for the café, but the food is still very good.

Food was good. Service was also very good. It's easy to go there.

It's not bad, although it's not as exaggerated, it's a bit unnecessarily expensive, the melon and pineapple combination with my menu is ridiculous and the tea is beyond awful.

We were very happy to find this place after a terrible meal. We entered with the excitement of kunefe and tea. I have never seen such bad tea in my life. We were able to taste a sip, but we couldn't believe how a Turkish place could not make this much tea. The extreme lemon taste is something bitter and different. Künefe was also doughy, but we were able to eat it as the need for dessert was overwhelming. But normally, when a Turkish business sees the tea we don't drink, they say sorry, let's serve another. The waitress was a sweet girl, but it was obviously a place run by inexperienced staff. I don't think I will go again and take my guests from Turkey. We planned to go for breakfast but I definitely won't take that risk. 👎🏻

Very good food with a great ambience

My companion and I had the brunch platter for two, it was incredibly delicious! A colorful mix of foods, everyone will find something. Service was very friendly and accommodating. We'll definitely be back!

The Zadem Restaurant in Cologne offers an impressive fusion of traditional Turkish cuisine and modern food trends. The Turkish brunch with an urban twist is particularly a highlight and impresses with its diverse flavors and fresh ingredients. The atmosphere is stylish and invites you to linger both during the day and in the evening. The service is friendly and attentive, which makes the stay particularly pleasant. Overall, Zadem is a recommended address for anyone who wants to enjoy modern Turkish cuisine in an attractive ambience in Cologne.

Super great place for brunch, the waitress Angel is so enchantingly nice and I'm happy every time she serves me, I'm now there for brunch/dinner almost every week. I'm also thrilled that brunch and dinner taste so good, although the neighbor's taste isn't even close to that. I've also noticed that many people in the neighborhood now offer brunch, but no one is like Zadem 😍

We went to this lovely restaurant for a late breakfast. The breakfast was very tasty, the food was beautifully and stylishly presented. The selection was large and everything looked very attractive. The atmosphere in the restaurant was also pleasant. A great place for a relaxed breakfast!

Bei meinem letzten Besuch im Zadem am Kaiser-Wilhelm-Ring 6-8 in Köln wurde ich von der gelungenen Fusion aus traditioneller türkischer Küche und modernen Food-Trends begeistert.  Ambiente: Das stilvolle und gemütliche Ambiente lädt zum Verweilen ein und schafft eine angenehme Atmosphäre für jeden Anlass. Service: Das Personal war freundlich und aufmerksam, was den Aufenthalt besonders angenehm machte. Essen: Die Speisekarte bietet eine vielfältige Auswahl an türkischen Gerichten mit modernem Twist. Besonders der Brunch ist ein Highlight und überzeugt mit frischen Zutaten und kreativen Kompositionen.  Fazit: Das Zadem ist definitiv einen Besuch wert für alle, die in Köln auf der Suche nach innovativer türkischer Küche in stilvollem Ambiente sind.

Super Ort für ein Abendessen, türkisch angelehnte Küche und extrem nettes Personal, alles war einfach so passend, Atmosphäre, Geschmack, Service und ich hab gehört hier gibt es auch Brunch!!

Service was top, everyone was very nice and the food was incredibly tasty. Gladly again!

Great service and super delicious food, we are all very satisfied!

Super Brunch Spot. Ich war mit Freunden dort zum brunchen und es war einfach alles Top. Können es jedem nur empfehlen ! Super Service

Ich kann nur sagen beste Brunch laden in Köln , Preise ideal , man schmeckt die frische und Qualität , Service trotz überfordeung perfekt

Ich war letzte Woche mit meinen Freunden bei Zadem essen. Die Kellner waren super süß und freundlich und haben das Essen echt schnell gebracht. Wir waren super zufrieden. Vorallem nach dem unfassbar leckeren Nachtisch. Ich kann die San Sebastian Kuchen nur empfehlen 😍!!! 10/10 gerne wieder .

Estábamos buscando un buen lugar para brunch mientras visitamos amigos en Colonia y estamos tan agradecidos que terminamos comiendo aquí. El ambiente es bastante único y oriental. Tuvimos Brunch para 2 y nos encantó.

Das Frühstück war eine perfekte Mischung aus türkischen und europäischen Spezialitäten, die alle unglaublich frisch und geschmacklich hervorragend waren. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Vielfalt der Speisen vom klassischen türkischen Frühstück bis hin zu modernen europäischen Akzenten war alles dabei☺️😊 Die Kellner waren super freundlich😇 und aufmerksam, was das gesamte Erlebnis noch angenehmer gemacht hat. Es war auch eine schöne Überraschung, dass mein Freund den Brunch als Überraschung für mich organisiert hatte.🙈 Das Ambiente im Zadem ist schlichtweg wunderschön: modern, stilvoll und gemütlich – genau der richtige Ort, um ein entspanntes und genussvolles Frühstück zu genießen.🙏🏼 Ich kann das Zadem jedem nur wärmstens empfehlen. Es war ein tolles Erlebnis, und ich komme auf jeden Fall wieder!🥰🐞

The advertising drum for this store is insane. Videos, pictures and a lot are posted everywhere on social media. We wanted to get our own opinion and went for breakfast. Well, breakfast came, it was nicely garnished and attractive, tasted ok but unfortunately we had bad luck with the kisir or couscous salad, it was sour, was replaced without comment but it wasn't good either. From my experience, however, I notice that things are unpacked several hours in advance, such as the sausage, which you can tell because it is already discolored and dried out at the edges, but it doesn't have to be that way. Well, in my opinion, anything can happen, it's also manual work, but if I'm charged over €47 for a breakfast for two people then that shouldn't happen and as a customer you should also get flawless and fresh food I recommend Zadem to focus on quality and not quantity. Guests also wait a little longer for their order if everything is 100%. That was the first and also the last visit for us

Staff and food very tasty. For a good evening in a nice atmosphere with good food and service, always worth a visit! I'd love to come back again and again!

We had a table reserved for two people and were directed to an uncleaned table. When we asked if we could please have a larger, clean table, we received a direct no. There are only two of us and the other tables are fully booked. The shop was empty except for three/four other tables and in no way gave us the impression that there were any more reservations. The waitress, a young annoyed man, was absolutely rude and had no idea how to address guests! He should be trained not to speak to customers on first-name terms, not to serve customers while half asleep or to walk around with their shoes on the floor. Of course there was no farewell because we preferred to give the tip to someone who was homeless. We do not recommend this seemingly authentic location and advise the owners to put friendlier (well-rested/less annoyed) waitresses at the front.

Wow! I'm super excited. Super delicious Turkish cuisine. Mega fine starters and delicious pide. The waitresses are super couple friendly ;) Thank you for the lovely evening.

The food was delicious, the service was good and quick. Price is not cheap for just one breakfast!

I absolutely cannot recommend!!!

Went spontaneously to Cologne today and came across Zadem via Tik Tok. We thought it was outstanding!!! Food: 1a had brunch menu for 2 (three people can also eat it) Service: everything was great All around you get a very good price-performance ratio, everything your heart desires!

We go home with a very bad feeling. After a few forks of the iskender I had stomach problems so I couldn't continue eating. I've never felt so bad after visiting a restaurant. My stomach burned and I also felt nauseous. I also passed this on to the waitress. I paid for it anyway. We will definitely not recommend them. It was a failure!!!

Solid Turkish restaurant, food was good, ambience was average but appropriate, service was friendly. Recommended!

I've heard about Zadem for a long time and was pleasantly surprised today! The food was super tasty and served in a timely manner. The staff are friendly and you feel very comfortable as a guest. I'd love to come back!

Very nice restaurant with great dishes and a great staff. I can definitely recommend it!

Great restaurant with excellent cuisine and friendly service - the atmosphere is cozy and the food was also great. Will definitely come back!

Unfortunately the food is not authentically Turkish. Unfortunately, we go home feeling uneasy. But the service is very nice and of course can't do anything about the kitchen.

great service! My girlfriend & I had breakfast at Zadem today and it was super delicious. I would even say that this is the best Turkish breakfast in all of Cologne! (maybe even around the world)

We had just been there for brunch with my daughter and drove there from Remscheid because we had only heard positive things and I also work in the catering industry, so I am a skeptical person when it comes to service. Breakfast was very, very good. Service was great 👍 The girls are very friendly and took care of all the guests. The two bosses are very attentive and very friendly. So I would definitely recommend Zadem if you are in the Cologne area. Definitely drinking coffee in Zadem. It is definitely worth it.

We found everything to be “perfect”. Were served by dear Angel, she did her work with all her heart. Waiters like you always make you want to go there.

If you are in Cologne, GO THERE! Very, very tasty food, incredibly friendly service. Simply a great experience! We had to wait a bit as the restaurant was full when we arrived. We then got free tea while we waited. In addition, at the end we apologized again for “keeping us waiting” (which was absolutely not necessary since we waited voluntarily) and we also got pancakes on the house. All in all a beautiful restaurant, wonderful service, super delicious food. We will definitely have breakfast here whenever we are in Cologne! Many thanks to the entire Zadem team <3

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 pretty overpriced. We have for Paid 3 teas and a künafe €25

Very tasty hummus dishes. Extremely friendly staff.

super delicious food & friendly service 😃

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.

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.

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.

Everything is perfect. Thank you very much 🙏🤗

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 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.

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

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

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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