All food seems to be made fresh. This is the kind of spot one could get stuck at hanging out at for hours and hours and forget the time. They have indoor and outdoor seating.

To me it was the sort of place that once you were done with your food you'd still want to linger a while. The schnitzel with fries was always my favorite, and I seem to recall that it was reasonably priced. For gourmet food and upscale ambiance, you'd want to go elsewhere. But if you want some place that has sort of that neighborhood feel (although it's basically in downtown Mannheim), I can recommend Zentrale.

Started with a nice large Radler and a coke. Service was excellent and patient. We made it thru the first day in DE with a good meal before crashing from jet lag. The restaurant was very clean including restroom, which was down a flight of stairs. Friends recommended we try Alter Simpl and glad we did.

I learned while visiting Mannheim that the city has an enormous Turkish population, and therefore it has dozens of Turkish restaurants. Uzun Tasfirini is acclaimed as one of the best spots in the "Little Istanbul" neighborhood, specializing in pides. Pides (pronounced "pea-days") are the Turkish equivalent to pizza. This snack food is a large flatbread topped with ground lamb, tomatoes, and spices, which bakes in a wood-fired oven for less than 10 minutes. It is then cut into squares and served with peppers, parsley, and lemons. You assemble the peppers and parsley yourself, squeezing lemon over your pide before you fold it up and indulge in this pizza treat. It's a simple, delicious dish that you can't miss out on if you're in Mannheim or are feeling homesick for a slice of pizza.

If you find yourself in Mannheim, you can't do better than Uzun. This small place specializes in…read moreTurkish pides, all of which are freshly baked in a huge wood-fired oven. A fresh, filling meal including a drink will run you about 6 Euros, which is hard to beat. To start, order the mercimek corbasi soup, a lentil soup made fresh in house. It comes with fresh baked Turkish flat bread, lemon and spices. For the main course, there's a variety of pides to choose from, but my favorite is the spinach & feta -- freshly chopped bright green spinach mixed with creamy cheese, engulfed in homemade Turkish bread, with generous brushed butter on top, crisped to perfection. Heaven is a place on earth with you.
