There are some tables set up outside. Everything was super fresh. I ordered a Döner Kebab. It was filled with meat and red cabbage, onions and cabbage along with a great garlic sauce. The meat had great flavor. Super filling and cost 3.50 Euro. Best bargain around for a filling and fresh meal. Go there. You will be glad you did. I will be looking forward to my next time there.

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.

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.

The food was always tasty and I usually ordered either the chicken doner or doner box. Despite this Yufka's was not my doner of choice in Heidelberg, and I always found the meat a little dry. The doner also usually needed more sauce. I would still eat at Yufka's again because of the convenience and location, and the food is ok. It might be worth it to look for a better kebab in Heidelberg though.
