I am sure the main restaurant is amazing but my place is the take out right next door. The meat off the roti is insane. The do it up with all the fixings.

Meat was flavorful, sauce was fine, vegetables were fresh, didn't think it was anything special though. The Durstlöscher was good, my first time having it. Prices were fine, was around €9 for the meal.

One of my favorite meals during our trip to Germany…read more - The interior is beautifully decorated with eclectic Turkish memorabilia - Catchy Turkish pop music playing in the background! - Colorful mismatched placemats and ceramics - Food was flavorful and exciting! We ordered the eggplant dish to share and it was plenty as an evening snack for two people. - Easy walking distance of the central train station and the stunning cathedral - Friendly service, our server didn't speak much English but enough for pleasant greetings and taking our order We hope to come back again to try the other tasty items on the menu!

Artsy looking Turkish restaurant in the center of Cologne, decorated with magazine photos,…read moreportraits and an eclectic mix of artifacts. We were seated by a friendly waiter in the front room and after a while I got curious and went exploring since regulars seemed to be going straight to the back room. Indeed, there were a couple other interesting looking rooms, and a cool little bar. But it looks like tourists like us who don't know better are put in display in the front part of the restaurant. Our waiter was apologetic about not being able to find the only English menu the place owns and had to translate the relatively short list of dishes offered. I still wonder if the English version even exists, especially after reading other reviews. Service was very slow, even though it was just my husband and I in that front room. Unfortunately, after all that waiting, the food was disappointing. I am surprised at all the good reviews raving about tasty food. After a week in Germany, we wanted something different from the local food and since my husband had been to a yummy Turkish restaurant in Dusseldorf a few days earlier, we were hoping for a similar experience. No such luck, Artistanbul offers an interesting atmosphere, but that's about it.

Despite its kitsch decoration, Kilim is THE BEST place to have exactly the same kind of lahmacuns…read moreyou could have in Sanliurfa or Gaziantep provinces of Turkey in the area surrounding Bonn and Cologne. All sorts of lahmacuns, be them Urfa, Antep or Findik, are very crispy, hearty and tasty as they should be. The amount of onion in Urfa lahmacun and amount of garlic in Antep is very balanced. Icli koftes are highly recommended, too. Even though pides taste good as well, they are one class below lahmacuns and contain too much fat in my opinion. Desserts you could order at the end, including baklava, kadayif and sekerpare, are always fresh and tasty, as they are brought from the konditorei owned by Kilim the next door. Considering all these points, again, Kilim is THE BEST place to taste the genuine Southeastern Anatolian food inspired by Kurdish, Arabic and Turkish cultures, located in Mülheim, Cologne. If I am drooling over my keyboard as I am writing this review, it is a clear sign that Kilim deserves its well-deserved reputation and does not need my further endorsement. :)

Yee doy was extremely disappointing this time. They used to be my favorite doener go to place but…read moreafter today's visit I will definitely avoid them. The sandwich seemed smaller than they used to be. The bread, even though it had been placed in the toaster wasn't toasted at all; meat didn't taste like much of anything, no crispy outer layer- reminded me of dog food tbh; the salad was extremely sparse though I asked for everything; the tsatziki and hot sauce didn't add much flavor and spice to it at all. I remember the days I used to taste rose water in the tsatziki. Apparently those days are gone. Completely underwhelming. Guess next time I will have to try out one of the other places. Luckily around this area there are plenty of other options.

Small portion of iskender. Sauce was too little and amount of butter should be a bit more generous…read more Döner meat itself was pretty decent, but not amazing. Service was very good.

Top place for an extensive breakfast/brunch experience…read more I have been twice to this place already and can recommend it without any doubts. The breakfast buffet is avaiable from 9 until 2pm so if you are not an early bird and like to sleep in, this is the place to catch a delayed but "delicious" breakfast. The buffet features a rich variety of turkish dishes, both warm and cold. Turkish pastries with fillings, salad, goat cheese, cold cuts, olives and veggies, butter, chocolate spread, honey and jam, milk + cereal, a traditional turkish salad called "Bulgur" (very tasty with parsley and some sort of boiled grain), fried broccoli and potato, mushrooms, scrambled egg with sausage, traditional turkish hot dish called "Menemen" (something with eggs, bell pepper, onion and tomato, similar to salsa but not spicy), several spread/mousse of which one is called "Ezme" and is very spicy yet delicious. There were other dishes which I did not try out but looked very appetizing. Along with the buffet comes unlimited turkish tea which is brewed fresh and filled in a large thermos jug, some people were also drinking juice, soft drinks and coffee are also available but might not be included in the buffet. The place is more crowded on weekends. I do recommend a reservation in advance for groups of +3 people although I have seen some walk-in´s which did not appear to have an advance reservation (neither did I). As for demographics, you will find all sorts of people of all ages frequenting this location, families with children, business men, couples, groups of guys/girls. 4 Stars for the breakfast and +1 Star for the amazing hospitality I have experienced.

Also the interior is very nice . We had Adana and mixed platters and there was plenty of sides with it . As usual some bread with three creams and after the meal some chay. The prices are very fair . Wanna go there again soon .

Good stuff. I read…read moreabout this place in a travel blog and wanted to try it since I love Turkish food. We came here in the morning at like 8 am but they only serve light breakfast. Only come for lunch or dinner if you want your traditional lamb, veal and chicken doner, shawarma, kubideh, etc. The food is legit and the crowds that showed up reflects that. Service was friendly and efficient.
