There is nothing better than having a friend play tour guide in a new, foreign city, as you're…read morebound to end up at spots you would not have found on your own. 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.

When you live in Germany, it's a must to have your favorite Döner place. So as soon as we moved…read moreinto this neighborhood, this became our favorite go-to place. The staff is super friendly (and tolerant of my bad German) and somehow they already remember what we usually order (including the inevitable no sauce from me to make my Döner vegan and/or dairy free). The Döner meat is always well seasoned and tasty. Falafel is on the saltier side, but when paired with all the amazing salad options they have it's great. Salad toppings have: 2 types of fresh cabbage, lettuce, onion, tomatoes and can be ordered as a side salad also or as just a filling which I do sometimes. You can also pair your meal with Turkish yogurt drink similar to kefir that is delicious, or order soda or even a beer. Seating outside is great for people watching, while the inside is small. I definitely recommend this place.

Nr. 101 is for 2 persons, but we believe it is even enough for 3 persons! We are satisfied for the meal and look forward to visiting it again. In general, it is a recommendable restaurant. 我們今天三個人來到這家店，店裡面座位很多，不須要訂位，而且就在廣場旁邊，非常好找，服務很不錯。我們點了101號餐，是兩人份的綜合烤肉串拼盤，非常好吃，而且份量很大，覺得如果是三個人來吃也應該足夠。另外還點了129號餐，是牛肉和烤雞肉串，也非常滿意。以上兩道餐點都有附上飯，而且土耳其烤餅是一開始就回上的，所以真的可以吃很飽。 喝的我們點了蘋果茶Apfel tee,也非常好喝，推薦^_^ 是個會想要再來的餐廳
