Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany Food Guide: 5 Barbecue food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Mannheim
Find out what Barbecue restaurants to try in Mannheim. Baden-Wurttemberg’s second-largest city after Stuttgart, Mannheim lies at the confluence of the Rhine and Neckar Rivers and is rare among German cities for its layout, a grid pattern (or “quadrates”) similar to those found in North America. The grid was originally plotted in 1606 and emanated from Friedrichsburg fortress, which later became the site of Mannheim Palace. Today, it partly houses the University of Mannheim. The city’s iconic water tower and its beautiful Luisenpark are must-sees.

Greek food in a nice setting the staff were friendly and the table set with a crisp white tablecloth. The starters were very good as were the main courses. All the usual Greek dishes available. They serve great retsina. A little bit more upmarket and more expensive than the average Greek restaurant but a nice evening out. Bussy bookings needed â¬â¬

It was a nice evening, so we decided to sit on the terrace and took the recommendation of the mixed platter, which was OK. Price was good as well, so if I get a chance to visit Mannheim again, I would consider giving this restaurant another visit as well.

The Turk Sofrasi (URFA SOFRASI - OCAKBASI) has sublime food! I ordered the URFA SPECIAL (16 Euro) which is a combination of grilled meats (pork, chicken, lamb) with pilaf, bread and chickpeas. The intent is to share this dish and it is a plentiful serving of wonderfully seasoned and grilled meats. The yogurt drink is refreshing (a bit sour if you are new to this drink) but pairs well with the meats served. My companions also ordered Cupra and grilled lamb and each was very pleased with their selection. The restaurant is small, but clean - service is efficient and one can view the brick oven and the kitchen - it is pleasing. If you are in Mannheim do try the Sofrasi AND the middle eastern bakery right next door (killer baklava - four varieties).

Our family decided to have dinner there (2 adults and 2 kids). In 15 minutes they brought 2 dishes. Lamb ribs that my husband ordered were just burnt. A half of familiy was eating and another half was just waiting. After 30 minutes of constant complaints to different waiters and final threat that we were going to pay for 2 dishes and leave they brought other 2 dishes. Very-very poor service and not very good food. We were waiting for 40 minutes for Donner Plates (!) which is supposed to be fast dish. My little son was very hungry and almost lost his patience. We wanted to have a good dinner but just got a spoiled mood instead. I would not recommend it to anybody. There are a lot of much better Turkish restaurants in center of Mannheim!

I was really surprised how nice this place was inside. My friends and I got the burgers, we were disappointed that they couldn't make the burgers medium rare. The waiter said it was a law here that forbids it. But the burgers were still good. I paid 3euro extra for sweet potato fries and the basket it came in barely had any in it. The service was slow only because the waiter had too many tables and running around like crazy. The main redeeming quality about this place was the bread they gave out. It was freshly made to perfection with aioli sauce. Make sure you ask for it, our waiter never offered it to us but we saw other tables get it. This restaurant is also opened on Sundays and takes credit card so that was a bonus.
