Street Food Guide Germany 2024: The Best Turkish Street Food in Cologne
Insider tip: every Wednesday, Atila Tosun fires up the kebab grill between the meat counter, vegetable display and dry ager. The friendly store owner is not only a butcher, but also a man of honour - only the best of the best goes on the rotisserie and in the bread.
Versatile kebab dishes in a pretty ambience. The kebab is available here with veal or chicken, vegetarian with grilled vegetables or on a soy skewer. Served with homemade bread and lovingly prepared meze: dill quark, beet hummus, deep-fried cauliflower.
A real insider tip in a less than romantic location in a backyard. But the proximity to the Friedenspark is perfect for an after dinner stroll. Köfte and falafel are made fresh every day - they are served on a plate with chips and salad or on bread.
Two is better than one, which is why there are two Kudr-Et Kebap Houses in Cologne. In addition to a truly sensational Turkish breakfast, you can also enjoy kebab plates and kebab pockets here - with meat from the Yaprak skewer, juicy and well-seasoned.
They don't do things by halves here, they go all out! The snack restaurant in the notorious Weidengasse is known for its generous portions and the perfect ratio of meat to flatbread and meat to rice. Sauces, lentil soup, salads: all freshly made.
Freshly baked bread, juicy meat and lots of crunchy vegetables is the formula for success for one of the city's most popular kebabs - whether Dürum or sandwich. The Turkish snack bar in Kwartier Latäng has been providing hungry day and night owls with energy since 1988.
What do dumplings, ravioli and manti have in common? They fill you up and make you happy. At Lezizel Manti, the dumplings filled with minced beef or potatoes are served with homemade tomato sauce, creamy yogurt and hot butter and paprika sauce.
A cult bar with celebrity status, whose lavishly stocked charcoal grill keeps the whole of Ehrenfeld smoldering late into the night. Böhmermann's kebab man also supplies ordinary mortals with adana, a kind of elongated meatball - as a sandwich or plated dish with rice and salad.
As much a part of Cologne as carnival and the cathedral: the snack restaurant of soccer world champion Lukas Podolski. Despite the generous portions, a delicious kaymakli künefe - a sweet pastry with angel hair - still fits into the second stomach after the cağ kebap, mangal grill plate and co.
An amazingly large specialty restaurant with a somewhat peculiar atmosphere, somewhere between a cruise ship and a hotel restaurant in Antalya. Authentic kebabs, roast lamb, Turkish soups and meat from the charcoal grill are served here, but without any frills.
