Türk Sofrasi Ocakbasi Marktplatz

Americans visiting Mannheim but staying in an area of Mannheim where many people from Turkey or of Turkish descent live. Happens we love food prepared in a more traditional German style but also love food prepared as those acquainted with Turkish food preparation and those traditional ingredients.

For the sake of understandibility, I will write an English comment as a Turkish person. Today I was in this restaurant. First of all, nothing special there. All of the restaurants in Marktplatz are more or less the same. However, this restaurant does not accept credit cards! The only payment method is cash, which I certainly did not like.

As far as Turkish food goes, it is as close as it can be that one can find in Germany. But, I can't call it genuine. I ordered ciğer and adana kebab as well as lahmacun. Both ciğer and adana was below average. Ciğer supposed to be cut smaller and traditionally they both served with flatbread instead of rice. Surprisingly, lahmacun was great. I can safely call it best lahmacun I've ever had in Germany. Their ayran is also freshly made and tastes great. The service was nice. Waiters are quite talkative, it's up to person whether it's a good thing or not. Atmosphere there makes you feel like you are in Turkey.

Very tasty foods and different menus. If you appreciate your privacy it is not the right place for you as the tables are very close to one another. No parking places available so it is better to park in some garage and walk to the restaurant.

I have come all the way to try this place. The food is overrated and you can have the same quality elsewhere. The food took around 35 minutes to arrive and it was a bit cold. The staff is friendly. The price is high for some dishes.
