    Delicious and with a big variety of cool toppings. Full vegan possible. The size of the big portion is solid and totally sufficient. Service and atmosphere is cool and chill. With some toppings it does get a little pricy, but totally fine. Price / value still good :)

    The best mantı i have ever tried. The Menu is very original and has vegan options. The staff is very friendly. You will spend around 15 to 25€ (depending on if u get sides/dessert) so its on the pricier side, but the food quality is worth it. Only thing i didn't like was that there were mostly only stools on the inside apart of two normal tables that were already taken

    We chanced upon this Turkish restaurant, relieved to find a Halal option along a street filled with many restaurants and cafes. We had little to no expectations given that the only main dish this restaurant offers is manti. But lo and behold! Lezizel truly has specialised in this simple and unassuming dish. The Turkish meat dumplings were presented to us in a white oval bowl, floating in yoghurt or any sauce of your choosing. We chose mushrooms and truffle sauce as additional toppings. For additional flavours, the restaurant offered salt, dried mint, chili flakes and sumac at every table. We initially considered the mango apple chutney, but were advised against it and rightfully so! The staff was candid (and correct) in their recommendation of avoiding that sauce, and we would recommend against it too! Lezizel offers a glimpse into Turkish cuisine, which honestly offers so much more. No matter, you would leave the restaurant certainly satiated!

    I told them specifically when ordering that i didnt want any sort of sauce and only a tiny bit of yogurt if possible and repeated it multiple times. They assured me they would send it like that. Fast forward about an hour and a half of waiting, the food finally arrives cold and it is completely covered in sauce and the portion was tiny, with half the box empty. Not only that but they didnt even provide me with any forks/ spoons. Definitely not up to the standard i was expecting and definitely would not recommend.

    When I saw they have vegan options I had to go and try their food! They didn’t dissapoint me and I had the best traditional turkish dumplings! It kinda works like poke bowls, you get a paper where you first x the size, kind of dumplings, sauce and toppings. It really goes easy and your food is ready in couple of minutes! The price is fair, just if you start to add too many toppings you pay more 😂 We were super happy with our food and after a long day a warm delicious dish helped us to enjoy our evening!

    Halal Turkish dumplings! It was my first time trying them, and to my surprise, I enjoyed it. I was looking around for halal food and accidentally discovered the halal sign on the door screen. I entered and checked with the staff to confirm the halal status. They were kind enough to explain their menu and translate some of the ingredients. I didn't want to interrupt their work, so I used Google Translate to place my order. The total price for Kunefe and dumplings was 11.55 euros.

    Really delicious - we loved the sauce so much! A truly unique place with the space and flexibility for either dining in or taking out. The price was great for the portion size. We walked away with warm and satisfied bellies. Will definitely return!

    This is a great place selling Turkish dumplings. These are like little ravioli and come as beef or vegetarian with tomato sauce and garlic yoghurt + various extras. I had a delicious and cheap meal and the staff were lovely despite my terrible German!

    Great Manti! Since we first tried in Munich, me and my girlfriend always try to stop by when we are in a city Lezizel is available, you can also buy it to prepare at home.

    This place is worth a visit for sure. Their food is of good quality but considering the portions.. I feel it's a little pricey. Not much of variation but just to enjoy manti.

    This is by far, the best manti we have ever eaten in Germany 🙌 I tried their Munich branch first and already loved it. And it is same in this branch as well :) They never disappoint ✨ Hope, they open branch in Berlin as well!

    Delicious food. The menu is divided into 2 sections, meat and vegetarian and so many options of sauces and toppings. So you can mix and match. Very friendly server. Beautiful outside seating in the back. Reasonable price for the food, worth it.

  • 5/5 M. G. 2 years ago on Google
    Both delivered and in the restaurant: fresh and delicious! 😋 You get super full and can't complain about the price 😊

  • 5/5 Stefan L. 1 year ago on Google
    Never had this in Turkey or something, but the person I went with said it's traditional. Other than that, I can only say very, very tasty. Will come back here.

  • 5/5 Melanie Alexandra W. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food with variety as you can mix & match your Manti (turkish dumplings) according to size, add ons, sauce etc). We were staying in the area for under 2 weeks, and went 3 times. Friendly, fast, and good value for money. Vegetarian options. In fact, we loved it so much we decided to order Manti on Amazon to recreate at home.
