Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany Food Guide: 5 Middle Eastern food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Mannheim
Reviews on Middle Eastern food in Mannheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. 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.

Bustan is quite typical for an Iranian restaurant. They cover all the base Iranian dishes plus some oriental ones such as lamb stews, Falafel, Zesiki, etc. The stews were OK but not something I'd order again. One was mixed with beans and some strong green sauce and the other had a lot of Zaafran which was too much. The kebab was gorgeous, which reminded again me to stop going for the sophisticated dishes and keep it simple - for next time around :) The restaurant dessert menu is quite limited, so we all ordered the same thing which was hot chocolate cake with Zaafran ice cream (!) on to this regards we had mixed feelings - some liked it - I really didn't... But in case of doubt - order one and share it, cause this dessert isn't for everybody. Overall the food was well prepared, the place was clean, service was sufficient and prices were decent, One minus - no credit cards excepted (cash only),

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).

This is my favorite place to go to for Turkish food in Mannheim. They have a nice selection of dishes, and the food is really delicious! I normally get falafel and my husband likes the Iskender and Adana kebaps. The service is also really nice and friendly. Very recommendable!

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!
