Tucked into a lively stretch of Leipziger Str., this barbecue spot draws a steady mix of locals looking for hearty, straightforward Turkish-style grilled meats and a variety of pizzas with familiar but thoughtfully combined toppings. Whether you’re dropping in for a quick bite or settling in for a leisurely dinner, the atmosphere is casual and inviting, with a cosy interior and a rooftop seating option that adds an open-air feel when weather permits.

Alongside pizza, the focus on grilled meats and traditional accompaniments attracts diners who like their meals freshly prepared and filling without being overly fancy. Options for vegetarian eaters and a salad bar provide some balance for varied tastes.

The staff’s attentiveness contributes to a welcoming experience, especially for groups and families, with convenient amenities like wheelchair access and a kids’ menu supporting a broad range of guests. The outdoor seating area, while popular, can feel a bit snug at times but still provides a pleasant spot to enjoy an evening meal complemented by tea or a coffee.

"Very kind staff and delicious food—highly recommend this place!"
"Very good selection of Turkish food with a very reasonable prices."
"Perfect service, delicious foods and nice atmosphere."
5 The staff especially the lady serving us was very hospitable. She helped us a lot as our German was limited. The outdoor space was heated and we got served by complimentary tea and baklava after our meal as it was our first time dining there. The food was delicious and a must try if you are in the area.
5 Delicious food and super nut service, really celebrate a great night here with friends and our family and also with the help of Nina, Best choice to invite your love here
5 This place is delicious, excellent grilled meats and quality of food. I would have to say it is our top Turkish restaurants in Germany.
4 Great Turkish restaurant for kebab. Ordered the meat platter for 1 and it was large enough to feed 2. Quality is very good food nicely done. Staff are cheerful and friendly but limited understanding of English except for 1-2 of the waitress. The outdoor seating can get a little cramp and tight and not always well cleaned after the previous guests have left but still a lovely place for a meal.
5 Clean and tidy premises, fresh food and good service. I went on separate occasions and noticed the constant flow of customers in and out. Nonetheless, staff cleared tables and cleaned promptly. Food is prepared freshly, and portions are pretty large. They offer freshly homemade yayik ayran, a Turkish yoghurt milk drink — delightful and refreshing.
5 I was so positive surprised with my visit to Melis Kebap. From the outside it seems like a small restaurant just to pick up your food and go, but it is quite big inside and they do have a big and very well described menu. I ordered a Pide and it was hugeee, definitely to share but really delicious. It came also with a big salad. The baklava was also good. I will for sure be back. Came back this Time for breakfast and wow! Loved it. Be careful, the portions are very very big but really good taste!
4 updated review : I have to reduce one star because the lady (waitress) is rude and unfriendly, it’s already been 2 time of my visit she serve me rudely :) Other time I was served well by other waiter, it’s her everytime that ruined my experience. She doesn't deserve this job. Because of her i will reconsider if I want to dine in the shop again. ——— So far the best grilled I’ve went around Frankfurt! Really love the generous portion, tasty food and super nice waiter! With language barrier, we still managed to order the meat with the waiter by confirming it with “is this moo moo(cow) or mieee mieee(lamb)” I strongly recommend the Hähnchenspiess Teller and Ayran I normally don’t like chicken breast (because I hate dry chicken) but they make the chicken full of aroma, still soft and juicy! Went back to the same shop again next few day just to take away the same dishes for our friend to try it and everyone love it! Also the price is very reasonable and decent with what you get!
5 Very kind staff and delicious food—highly recommend this place!
