Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"We were served by a professional and friendly waiter. The food was generously portioned and the flavour was very much on point. Ingredients tasted fresh and the veggies were well-charred. Overall a very good experience and can't wait to come back again."
"It is a restaurant not just a kebab place. Nice food and choices."
"Das Essen war sehr lecker und frisch. Die Atmosphäre war angenehm und das Personal sehr freundlich. Man fühlt sich wirklich willkommen. Ich komme auf jeden Fall gerne wieder. Sehr empfehlenswert!"
"Ich habe diesen Ort heute zum ersten Mal entdeckt. Das Essen ist insgesamt wirklich lecker. Ich habe Adana-Kebab und Ayran gewählt und war sehr zufrieden. Zum Kebab werden Salat und Meze serviert. Außerdem reichen sie frisch gebackenes, warmes Brot aus ihrem eigenen Steinofen. Nach dem Essen gibt es auch einen Tee aufs Haus. Sie arbeiten sehr sauber, und die Küche ist komplett offen und für alle einsehbar. Die Preise sind im Vergleich zum Durchschnitt normal. Insgesamt hat es mir sehr gut gefallen. Wenn das Servicepersonal etwas freundlicher wäre, wäre wirklich alles perfekt."
"Not a high-class restaurant, but down to the earth and tasty food with big portions. Very tasty homemade Ayran. Would go there again."
"The food is very good; we always try the kebabs and they’re consistently great. Most of the staff are nice ,some we’ve known for a long time and they behave professionally. Some newer staff still need to improve their customer service. There is seating both indoors and outdoors, and in winter the outdoor area is warm. The biggest problem is that in summer, the indoor area becomes really hot because there’s no air conditioning, and if it’s also hot outside, it’s hard to stay for long."
"I had mixed grill. Everything was delicious. There was also complementary meze and tee. I would like it even more if they had different Turkish deserts too."
"Wir waren zu Besuch hier (Urlaub) und sind auf den Laden gestoßen Wir kommen selber aus der Gastronomie und waren sehr überzeugt. Der Service war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Essen ist definitiv reichlich Automatisch wird Brot und dips vor dem Essen gebracht. Die Portionen sind bei weitem ausreichend. Wir sind satt geworden und die Teller waren noch nicht leer. Nur zu empfehlen eine gute türkische Gastronomie."
