Tony met with Melek Yaprak, aTurkish-German whose grandparents were among the first wave of Turkish immigrants in Cologne in this Turkish restaurant. They had Raki and mezze of "spicy mashed vegetables, tzatziki, hummus, beetroot and olive dip, fried eggplant, pastries with feta, meatballs with tomato sauce and mint"

Dellicious food in a cozy atmosphere. The service is hit and miss depending on the staff member. The food is not cheap, but I think it is worth the price. Some drinks are reasonably priced, but most of them are quite overpriced.

Husband surprised me with dinner here and it is a fun and cute place. Our placemats were old laser discs (of Waterworld, I had sides 1&2 and he had 3&4) and a general vibe of film kitsch was threaded through the decor. The staff were friendly and welcoming, with a personal casualness that felt very relaxing. At some points one of the chefs or owners came around to ask how things were and tell us more about the dishes (if we wanted). We had some questions about the food, because they tout their dry-aged lamb and we wanted to know what "atom yoghurt" was. Straight answers, friendly and informative. Oh, and the food was delicious. Definitely recommend the lamb, and the dips - particularly the aforementioned atom yogurt. If you like a little heat, you'll appreciate the punch that this packs. Great evening overall. Parking is a little tight, but hey, it's nice that there's dedicated parking for the restaurant. Would go again x

Very tasty, both lamb and fish are very well grilled and seasoned. Not on the cheap side (~20€ pee meal) but definitely worth it. Homemade lemonades are nice as well and I like the style of the room with old Turkish movie posters on the wall. Easy recommendation for me.

From the outside, it looks like a small place, but there are a few dinning rooms available and it is quite comfortable. Very good, authentic Turkish food here. Highly recommend stopping by if you are in Cologne.

Great place to eat authentic Turkish food, really enjoyed the atmosphere and our server was very attentive They serve Effes beer which is great with the fresh ingredients they have for their meals Recommend this place for an alternative to the usual food one would eat in Cologne

If you are from Turkey and/or speak Turkish you probably have a good experience here but we were not treated in a very polite way as one would expect. Non Turks were seated in the front where it is way less cozy and cold, waiter seemed to have started that day not seeming to know anything about the menu, main courses came 30 min before starters and we had to ask for the check 4 times before walking back searching for our coats and threatening to just leave when finally they could produce a bill. Still had to haggle over the incorrect things on it and so all in all I would never recommend this to anyone (and I even speak German). Girl behind the bar was extremely rude. I’ve given it 3 stars because the food was good and 1 star reviews tend to be overlooked.

Food is okay, literally okay. The service is horrible. No people checking on you during the whole dinner. Bread is not delivered until the end of dish. Checking took half-year. Seems they don’t have enough staff that day. Plenty of Turkish restaurants in Cologne, to avoid bad service, you have other alternatives.
