Kozde in Malburgen-Oost (Zuid)

Best Turkish food in the Netherlands

We really felt like we were in Turkey; the service and food were excellent. I recommend trying the Sultan sherbet; the lahmacun was incredibly crispy and delicious. It was a very clean place. De bediening was uitstekend, het is een zeer goed georganiseerd restaurant en het eten was heerlijk; het was een fantastische ervaring.

Fantastic restaurant! The service was excellent, and the staff were incredibly friendly and hospitable. The food was delicious and fresh. The lahmacun, in particular, was truly perfect: crispy, tasty, and absolutely recommended. The Sultan Sherbet was also surprisingly delicious and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere was lovely, and everything was neatly prepared. I will definitely come back and recommend this place to everyone!

The food was delicious, the service was excellent, I would highly recommend it.

Közde is one of our favorite restaurants. We come here regularly and leave with the same satisfaction every time. The staff are always smiling, friendly, and very attentive. The food is truly fantastic; delicious, high-quality, and the portions are quite satisfying. Moreover, the prices are very reasonable. Thank you for your excellent service and delicious food. We wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone!

Super tasty and good service! We were with a large group, and despite that, they paid a lot of attention to everyone and provided good care!

Super tasty and fresh food. The breakfast is so extensive, open buffet, unlimited food and drinks. Highly recommended, they get 5 stars from me for everything.

The welcome, the food, and the attentiveness were all excellent; I can recommend it wholeheartedly. We were very satisfied.

The most delicious minced meat pide I've ever eaten.

Everything was clean and delicious.

The service was fast and the food was delicious. I would definitely choose this place again if I'm in the area.

I always stop by here for a meal whenever I'm in the area. Their grilled dishes are excellent, but I can't say the same for breakfast. Their breakfast is very weak. However, their grilled items are very good. They make their chicken skewers from chicken thighs; chicken lovers should definitely try them. The prices are high. I think they should revise their prices.

Had a delicious meal, friendly staff, and a great concept. Definitely recommended!

The food is authentic and full of flavor, with excellent grilled dishes and generous portions that truly reflect the richness of Turkish cuisine. What makes Kozde special is not only the quality of the food but also the warm hospitality of the entire team. The service is consistently friendly and attentive, creating an atmosphere that makes you feel welcome every time. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a genuine dining experience. I would say without a doubt, Kozde is one of the best Turkish restaurants in Arnhem.

The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the staff very friendly—a huge compliment.

This was the most delicious Gaziantep meal I've had recently. The pide was amazing. The mixed kebab, salads, and the richness of the spread were perfect. We will definitely come again. As someone from Gaziantep, my family and I were very pleased. Thank you for your efforts. We will be back as soon as possible...

Our experience at this establishment, which we chose for a Sunday buffet breakfast, was a complete disappointment. Upon entering, there was not a single staff member to greet or guide us. After waiting in line for a long time, we had to ask ourselves if there were any empty tables. The cashier reluctantly gave directions, practically giving the impression that they didn't want to help the customer. The seating areas were quite neglected and dirty. Many items on the buffet were missing serving spoons. When I wanted honey, I had to use the tongs used for tahini because there were no suitable serving utensils. Despite being a buffet, everything is expected of the customer; you get your own fork and knife, clean your own table, and try to serve yourself completely. However, the main problem was the almost complete lack of service. After we sat down at the table, not a single employee asked if we needed anything or checked if anything was missing. In contrast, the sudden appearance of staff when it was time to pay the bill was quite concerning. It gives the impression that only collection is important, not customer satisfaction. I had experienced a similar situation on previous visits as well. In particular, a female employee with blonde hair displayed an extremely cold, indifferent, and rude attitude. Far from smiling, she acted as if you were a nuisance, making you feel unwanted. It's unacceptable for a business to make its customers regret visiting instead of satisfying them. In short, due to inadequate service, indifferent staff, and lack of hygiene and organization, I absolutely do not recommend this establishment. You don't get your money's worth; you feel like a burden, not a customer. I would advise those going for the first time to keep their expectations low.

There were 2-3 small flies constantly on our table and food. We thought we would have a delicious meal there, but unfortunately the food wasn't tasty either; it had no flavor. Recently, the tea was very bitter and undrinkable.

Unfortunately, we are not satisfied. The food lacked flavor, the service was slow, and we had to ask for things ourselves multiple times. Furthermore, the tea was very bitter. Not a place we would return to.

Highly recommended for delicious food and super friendly service!

Truly delicious Gaziantep-style food. Be aware that the portions are large; you might not be able to finish them. Thank you.

I would recommend it for both the service and the taste.

We had dinner at this restaurant in Arnhem, I found it very delicious and filling, I would definitely recommend it and it deserves its high ratings.

Apart from the high prices, there are no problems. Friendly and fast service.

On the recommendation of a colleague, we had a delicious meal with a number of drivers during the Suzan and Freek concert; next time we are in Arnhem, we will definitely come back.

Portions are small. The price-quality ratio is not good. It's expensive considering the food. The toilets are dirty.

The food was delicious, and the service was friendly. We ordered 'karışık meze' and also two kozde menus. The same meze came with both, so it was actually a bit redundant to order the karışık meze if you were also going to order the kozde menu. Otherwise, the atmosphere was great; we really enjoyed all the dishes.

The owner's friendly demeanor and conversation were excellent, as were the staff's smiles and efficient service. Thank you.

As always, top service, friendliness, and hospitality. I feel completely at home in Antep, and what a great guy Ahmet is, amazing, always ready for a chat!

Nice restaurant, had a delicious meal, friendly staff

Very tasty food, but the music is too loud and not all staff members know what is on the menu. The food did arrive super fast, though.

Good food, good restaurant. Definitely recommended!

Kozde is one of the best kebab places I've eaten at in the Netherlands. The staff were very attentive, thank you!

We received excellent service, friendly staff!

There were six of us; you expect a little attention.

Yesterday, my family of four and I dined at Kozde restaurant for the first time. I found the service and customer friendliness mediocre. We arrived around 6 p.m. We ordered ribeye, but 10 minutes later we were told it was sold out!? No alternative was offered, but we were told to look for something else. Next, we ordered tenderloin, served with bulgur. This was tasteless and not fresh! There was very little meat, 100 grams per portion, price 39 euros! It made no sense. The mushroom sauce was a ready-made sauce and there wasn't a single grilled mushroom to be seen on the plate. What a shame! The service was anything but professional. Unfortunately, not worth repeating!!

Super delicious food and friendly staff, really 5/5. I recommend eating here.

This place is unfortunately very bad, extremely EXPENSIVE. The staff are very rude and the service is terrible. We went as a group of 4, and they didn't even give one person free tea just because they sat with us and didn't eat. I definitely do not recommend it. We regretted going. It's also not very clean. I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND IT...

Most authentic anatolian dishes in the Gelderland region, all the dishes were very delicious and unlike other restaurants they add the proper amount of spices.

We come here regularly and the atmosphere is very pleasant every time, the dishes delicious, and the service polite and friendly. Delicious coffee or tea after the meal makes it all perfect ;-)... Until next time. Compliments!!

Flavorful dishes from the charcoal grill. Great value for money.

Had a delicious meal, good service

I went for the third time and this time too we were greeted with excellent food and service. The Adana kebab was perhaps the best I've ever had, the other meats were also very well cooked, I recommend it to everyone.

Good Turkish restaurant. Delicious food, generous portions, and friendly staff. Flavorful and fresh; you can tell it is cooked with care. Definitely a place to come back to.

As someone from Adana, I absolutely loved it! The service was fast and the staff were friendly! And you can smell the kebab smoke even before you come in 🥰 I definitely recommend it, well done! 🙏🏻

Highly recommended !! We go to Közde often and are satisfied with the food, the atmosphere, etc. every time. You eat the absolute best meat there.

We eat here often. Delicious food and friendly service. Often pleasantly busy.

Very pleasantly surprised by Kozde in Arnhem! Despite the less-than-favorite reviews, the food was really delicious. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. Also, friendly service and a nice atmosphere. Definitely recommended!

It was super tasty again! Until next time!

I ate a pide with minced meat, it was delicious.

The service was good, but the meat wasn't as I expected; it was tough and I didn't like it.

It was delicious ☺️ We will definitely be back :)

Staff really childish, looks like a Kinder crash, I ordered Adana, food was cold, only Antep ezme was tasty and fries, salad was dry, ordered ayran but it wasn't there, bread was cold, bulgur too, I won't be coming back, really disappointed

Visited Kozde for the first time as a Rotterdam native! Been to many Turkish restaurants in South Holland, but this surpasses them! What delicious, authentic Turkish flavors! The findik lahmacun, the adana, kuzu sis, and pide were absolutely delicious! And of course, top-notch service! Thank you, Team Kozde, you will see us back often.

Best Turkish food in NL! Great taste, very nice employees and athmosphere! I strongly recommend 10/10!

Food is perfect, if you’re looking for a real Turkish food then this is the place. Smell, taste just amazing. Staff were also friendly and the price is reasonable. Recommended!

Once again, we had a delicious meal and the staff was friendly.

Very friendly. Had a delicious breakfast!

Super delicious food! Fast service. Definitely recommended!

I hope the owner takes this review somewhat seriously. I'll write about both the positives and negatives because I want to be fair. We went on Friday at 4 PM, and it wasn't a busy time. First of all, the restrooms were spotless. The complimentary tea was a nice touch. The Adana kebab was truly above average, by Dutch standards. The side dishes were generous. The stuffed meatballs were a bit thick, but the filling was delicious. (The middle was slightly cold, but I didn't send it back. This needs attention.) Things that need improvement: 1. It's a scandal that a place claiming to be from Gaziantep sends sweet chili sauce instead of lemon with the stuffed meatballs. 2. There are serious problems with the service. Appetizers and stuffed meatballs were brought to the table. The serving plates didn't arrive. My friend got up and asked for them. Instead of bringing the plates to the table, the waiter handed them to my friend 😂 When we were leaving, the lady at the door would have seen us off without even looking at us if we hadn't thanked her. 3. The sunflower oil in the salads needs to be changed to olive oil, and what's added as pomegranate molasses is a very cheap glucose syrup. This is unacceptable at a place that charges €25.50 for kebab. 4. The dark-haired lady at the door repeatedly asking guests if they had a reservation, saying "That table for two is not suitable, please move here" in an almost empty place, and even scolding another guest in front of us, saying "Why didn't you tell us if you had a reservation?", was unpleasant. 5. The lack of flatbread with the kebab portion is unacceptable. (Thankfully, the lady offered one flatbread, which is normally charged extra.) There's nothing to wrap the kebab in, but there are french fries and mayonnaise on the table. Okay, we're not in Gaziantep, but what's the point of potatoes, yogurt, and bulgur pilaf with the kebab? It would be much better to remove the potatoes and just provide flatbread. 6. The Gaziantep hazelnut lahmacun wasn't bad, but it wasn't in the Gaziantep style. I'm not a kebab chef, but as a chef who has consulted for many establishments and worked in the kitchen for 20 years, I normally share the feedback I've given above for a fee. I wrote this much because I love Közde and would like to come back, but under these circumstances, I don't think so.

The food was delicious! We received quick and friendly service, so we barely had to wait. The atmosphere was very pleasant. Definitely recommended!

The restaurant and ambiance have a Turkish feel. I ordered the mixed grill, which was really too much for one person, and it came with salad, appetizers, chips, and french fries. I recommend trying the desserts with free tea after the meal. Ms. Gülşen and the other staff were very attentive. Definitely make a reservation in the evening as it gets very crowded. Also, parking is free and you can find a spot.

The atmosphere was lovely, the setting was warm and carefully decorated, with elaborate Christmas trees. The food wasn't bad either; although I occasionally encountered raw meat, overall it was fine. However, the service was poor. The waiters didn't know what they were doing, and when you tried to order, they wouldn't even look at you or pay attention.

Kuzde Arnhem is fantastic! Wonderful atmosphere and service, but manager Gulshan truly steals the show. Her hospitality and ambiance make this restaurant special. We'll definitely be back!

The food at Restaurant Közde is truly delicious, especially the pide – that's always a reason for me to return. The quality of the food is excellent and always tastes good. Unfortunately, the service is consistently poor. The staff is often disinterested, unfriendly, and seems to pay little attention to the customers. I always decide not to go again, but because of the food, I give it another try. Unfortunately, the service is consistently disappointing. It's a shame, because with better service, this could be a top restaurant. I really hope something is done about this.

The chicken was especially delicious. We also had soup, french fries, pita bread, and burgers, and they were all good. Then tea. We are now in a period where prices per person have increased from 10-20 euros to 20-30 euros.

Delicious food and customer friendly, highly recommended

This was our first time at the restaurant. We ordered Adana, Urfa, and lahmacun. The Adana was delicious. I can't say the same for Urfa. We requested a change, and they were happy to oblige. The lahmacun was crispy, but there were more vegetables than meat, but we still enjoyed it. The appetizers served before the meal were delicious and ample portions. The staff were welcoming and attentive. We'll definitely be returning. Thank you :)

Theirs is the most expensive restaurant I've ever eaten at. The food was awful and tasteless. I paid €209 for two hamburger menus, one small mixed grill portion, and four lamb chops. I wouldn't recommend anyone else eat here. Never do.

We went to Közde for dinner for the first time yesterday with a group of 17 people. We wanted to thank you for everything you did. The food was delicious, and the staff was fantastic. We'll definitely be back.

We ordered a mixed grill for two people. The meat was tender and deliciously seasoned. But the tapas... they could have been a bit more generous. Perhaps they could make the portions a bit larger and also add something for 2-3 people. The strawberry cocktail was delicious, as were the desserts. I definitely recommend it if you're near Arnhem or going shopping. The BEST PLACE. I'll definitely be back.

I went for my son's birthday for the first time...it was very tasty and cozy, we celebrated together...

The food is very high quality and delicious. Everyone working there is helpful and friendly.

Nice, cozy and delicious snacks

The food was good. The homemade Ayran was excellent. Because it's a good restaurant, there were many guests. One minor drawback was that the seating was too close together. Kudos to the chef.

Delicious food, nice atmosphere, good, friendly service, beautiful ambiance. Definitely recommended.

The food is good. The appetizers are also good. The price is a bit high. I recommend the lamb chops.

It looked like something when it first opened, but it's since deteriorated significantly. No liver, no Urfa kebab. The menu offers beef, lamb shish, and Adana wings, but they're not good either. The beef is cubed, each cut into large slices. It's not cooked through; you can cook it as much as you like. The food is inedible. Four people won't pay less than 100 Euros. Don't go unless you absolutely have to.

Went there for the third time today and, as always, it was fantastic! The food always arrives super fast from Adana to the Beyti, everything was delicious.

We had a wonderful meal at Kozde. All dishes were equally delicious. The clientele was predominantly Turkish, which gave us the feeling of authentic Turkish food. The service was extremely friendly and helpful in making our choices. The atmosphere in the restaurant was good, but because it was a fairly large room and completely full, it was difficult to have a conversation with the four of us. We definitely plan to return. Mariëtte

Despite not having a reservation, we still managed to get a spot! Great service and delicious food!

The meat was tender, but the flavor was somewhat bland. My 12-year-old son found it quite spicy, even though he's used to it. It was a shame the smoky smell was overpowering; it felt like the meat had been put on the grill too early, while the charcoal was still burning black instead of a beautiful white-gray and glowing. This detracted from the pure meat flavor. The portions are good for the price (30-40 euros), and the desserts were delicious—especially the soğuk baklava. The katmer was a bit plain in both preparation and flavor. The atmosphere was nice, the service friendly and hygienic. All in all, a reasonable experience.

Went out for dinner with family members and the food was delicious, the atmosphere was nice and we really enjoyed it. Definitely worth repeating.

When we arrived, there wasn't a place to pray, which was very upsetting. Normally, all restaurants have a place to pray. I hope you'll arrange a place for us to pray when we arrive. We're coming from Zaandam. We'll be there at 5:00 PM, God willing.

Two days ago, my wife and I were in Arnhem. We decided to go to Közde restaurant for dinner. We had received a recommendation. We placed our order, but it arrived incorrectly. We'd already noticed while ordering that we didn't quite understand each other, but we hadn't paid much attention. Ms. Mehtap helped us. We were both surprised and laughing, as we all sensed something was wrong. Ms. Mehtap felt very embarrassed, even though it wasn't really her fault, and that also made us a little embarrassed. She offered us some extras. Finally, our orders arrived, and everything was delicious. In a warm and friendly atmosphere, even though it took us a while, it became a wonderful memory for us. Our thanks go to everyone who contributed, especially Ms. Mehtap.

We were very pleased with the food and Mehtap Hanım's service. We recommend it.

Super good food, good service, it was busy but that shows why it's a good place!

It's not possible, I won't come with my father anymore

Beyti was delicious. Fast service and a pleasant atmosphere.

Super nice people and the food is really sublime.

I happened to be driving by and stopped. (I'm from the North) Very friendly and helpful staff, clean, hygienic, and the atmosphere is great. We'll be back and highly recommend it to anyone who lives in the area.

We had a reservation, but there was no room for us. We had to wait outside for 20 minutes. The quality was terrible and disrespectful.

Great place, delicious food, good tea and baklava

I recently dined at Közde Restaurant. The food was good and definitely left me wanting more. However, there were a few notable issues: the staff seemed a bit forgetful at times; part of my order arrived late, and I had to ask several times for my bread and drinks. Furthermore, the boys' restroom was disappointingly clean, though that's probably mostly due to the patrons themselves. Since this was my first experience, I don't want to be too harsh. It might have just been a coincidence that day. All in all, a mixed first impression: good food, but there's still room for improvement in some areas.

I sadly got food poisoning from the icli kofte. First time they brought it they were not even hot, after a bite I noticed it was still frozen from the inside. The second time they came out they were hot yet a tiny bit frozen still. Stupid me still ate them and got sick :(

We are quite critical when it comes to taste, but we had a delicious meal here.

The food wasn't high-quality and was served very quickly, giving me the impression it was reheated. I don't understand why they charge €2 for Turkish tea; that's "on the house" at almost every other restaurant. The Katmer was very tasty, though. I wouldn't go back, especially considering the price-quality ratio.

We had a delicious meal, the food exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend it.

It’s very beautiful place and very delicious food u should try it and u will love it

The tastiest Adana dürüm in the Netherlands! I had the delicious beyran as a starter, generously filled and delicious! Ezme and haydari were also perfect! I was expecting kaşık salata to round it out. The Çiğköfte as an extra is definitely recommended!
