Despite being a Turkish restaurant, it absolutely does not serve Turkish food. We haven't been able to recover for 3 days. I'm definitely not trying to slander them, but the flavors were terrible. We were expecting Turkish-style portions, but the food was tiny, the tastes were strange, we got food poisoning. The service and atmosphere were excellent, but the menus were very disappointing.

The food was very tasty. The bazlama with salça was amazing... There are just very few options on the menu—literally only 4 main course options. They also sell alcohol; it is a Turkish halal restaurant... Quite unusual. The prices are a bit on the high side. Overall, a reasonable experience.

I had so enjoyed this restaurant at Christmas two years ago in 2023. Last Christmas, it was a disaster. It started the moment we arrived; we were 15 minutes early and weren't allowed in. There you are, waiting outside on Christmas Eve in a 1-degree temperature, something I've never experienced before. Waiters were running around, Christmas music was blaring (while I was just as happy they weren't playing Christmas music in 2023), and the outside door was often open, leaving several guests sitting for hours in their coats (it was so cold inside...). Thankfully, the food was good again, but the atmosphere, the poor service, and the somewhat arrogant attitude of the waiters mean this restaurant is losing its flair and welcoming atmosphere. We won't be returning. There are Turkish restaurants in Eindhoven, Aachen, and the Randstad that serve the same quality food at a much more reasonable price, and you'll also receive excellent service.

Parking was very difficult to find in the area. We didn't have a reservation, but they still accommodated us. The place is warm, cozy, and gives off a veneer of refinement. The menu offers a limited number of dishes, selected by season, I believe, though I'm not entirely sure. The waiter, who offered to help us choose a dish, recommended the four-course menu (the most expensive on the menu at €56 excluding drinks). When we asked what it included, he remained vague but specified that it was based on red meat and fish. There was no chicken. He explained that we would be offered a variety of small mezze with different flavors and that the culinary experience would be quite something. We decided to give it a try. The first course arrived: an individual petit four appetizer that combined two contrasting flavors. It was very tasty. We were delighted. Second course: we received four more petits fours, but these were meant to be shared between two people. I was surprised that they weren't served individually. The idea is to have an immersive tasting experience, but when you share a petits four, especially one with such a small portion, you don't necessarily know how to divide a drop of flavored mousse in half. So, when you taste the dish, the culinary narrative behind it feels incomplete. I was disappointed and frustrated that I couldn't have the full experience. I spoke to the waiter, who explained that their concept is based on sharing dishes because, for them, sharing a moment with others means sharing the dishes as well. Having eaten at restaurants with the same concept, I find it more interesting to be able to taste the entire culinary creation on your own and then discuss it with a friend afterward. I find that discussing the three or four flavors we discover in our mouths, trying to guess what's hidden within them, is far more stimulating than saying, "There was a lemon foam that really brought out the flavors, you didn't get it?...oh, what a shame..." I was frustrated because I felt I was paying full price for the complete experience, and in the end, I didn't get the full culinary story. What I did taste, however, was good. Course 3: an individual soup base, a shared "köfte" (meat stew), and shared raw fish. I couldn't eat any of it because all three were very spicy. So I just watched my partner eat and asked him to share his feedback... I mentioned this to the waiter, who always asks if everything was alright. He told me I should have specified that I don't eat spicy food; he would have then offered something else. I told him that he was the one who hadn't explicitly told us what was on the menu because he said, "We have to keep a little surprise." He apologized, saying he should have asked, but that most people like and eat spicy food, so it's generally not a problem. Which I can understand, but still, I didn't eat anything at all. I was so disappointed. Course 4: 4 dishes to share: a mini salad, red meat with lentil purée, fish with rice, and cabbage leaves stuffed with rice on a bed of red onion. These weren't spicy, so I was able to eat them. But again, dividing everything in two seems incomplete to me. It was good, but not amazing. There was no story behind these dishes: not a single extra aroma in the mashed potatoes, the meat was normal but very tender, the fish was normal, but the rice had two flavors... I don't know what they were... I really didn't like the aftertaste of the rice. And the stuffed cabbage: the rice inside wasn't cooked enough, it was a bit crunchy... and the combination with the raw red onions was really jarring. Anyway, I didn't say anything else because I just wanted to leave. I was disappointed and frustrated. The desserts: individual helva/ice cream and a plate for two: chocolate mousse, baklava, and jelly. Utensils: a small fork and a small spoon. Impossible to cut the baklava... I didn't eat it. The rest was fine. In short, I appreciate transparency from the start.

This was the Turkish restaurant we visited this evening, my first time in this beautiful city. From the food and appetizers to the baklava and strong tea we enjoyed afterwards, nothing beats a Turkish experience. Everything was delicious, and the Sezen Aksu music playing softly in the background was a perfect complement.

It's a nice restaurant with a beautiful atmosphere, and the service was okay. The food was good overall. I tried the sharing platter of four courses, which was something different and unique that this restaurant offers. Some of the platters were better than others, but it was definitely a unique experience. Don’t expect the big, extravagant plates like you might get in Turkey when dining with family; this restaurant is more like what you’d find in a luxury-style setting. All in all, it was a good experience trying something different.

We had a wonderful meal. Turkish cuisine, the true culinary way! We're so lucky to find this kind of restaurant in Maastricht, so close to home. In the big cities, you can certainly enjoy a delicious pide or kebab, but this kind of cuisine isn't available. Even if you travel to Turkey often, you probably haven't tasted this kind of Turkish cuisine. Turkish flavors are combined in a very creative way. There's also a lovely atmosphere with beautiful decorations and pleasant Turkish background music, all in a classy way. There were three of us and we chose the three-course surprise menu for €50 per person. In my opinion, very good value for money. The table was generously filled with each course, and the flavors were sublime. Each dish was prepared with high-quality ingredients, and it was simply healthy food. We will definitely be back!

Every piece of food tasted good, mücver, salmon tartare, beef, and walnut halva tasted excellent. The food is not necessarily authentic all the time but you will find great interpretations of authentic turkish/anatolian food. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and the waiters are very friendly. Yet, there were some things that disturbed me. The waiter explained the tasting menu saying that "midi" is called "middle" in Turkish, indicating the dishes would come in the middle of the table to be shared. Midi is a french origin word that is used to indicate the size middle in Turkish. What he meant with the dishes is "orta" where we say, "ortaya söylemek" aka "ordering to the middle of the table". In one of the dishes, the waiter told that the dish has feta in it, while in the original menu it is ezine peyniri. Feta is a greek cheese while ezine peyniri is another type of cheese that is aged longer (8-12 months). The taste profile is similar yet distinct. I would prefer the restaurant to use the local cheese. If it was the case, I would rather then the waiters to inform the customers correctly. As I also dont call an oliebol a berliner. The service was also unfortunately very slow. Many times we started wondering if we could finish the menu before closing time. One other thing that disturbed me was also the plating - particularly the entry dish that came in a uncooked lentil bowl so that it appears cool. Similarly the pick of the plates could be more traditional (from copper to ceramic) to reflect the anatolian culture more. It felt like the restaurant tried to appear luxury more than serving luxury food. Overall, the restaurant is a good pick to taste delicious anatolian inspired dishes. If the restaurant would stop trying to appear luxury, but focus more on the food history and the traditional ingredients, it would be better.

A True Gem of Turkish Fine Dining in Maastricht Mandalin is an absolute revelation. Finally, a high-end Turkish restaurant that doesn’t try to dilute its identity by fusing with other cuisines or imitating French fine dining—but instead embraces the full richness and complexity of Turkish cuisine in its own right. And it does so with exquisite quality. From the very first bite of the mezes to the freshly baked breads, the intermediate courses, and all the way to dessert—every single dish was executed with precision, depth of flavor, and a level of care that’s hard to find. The ingredients were top-tier, the presentation elegant, and the balance of spices and textures simply sublime. Yes, the portions are on the smaller side—as is typical in fine dining—but that’s entirely beside the point. The purpose here is not to fill up like at an all-you-can-eat buffet. The goal is to taste—to genuinely experience flavors your palate may never have encountered before. And that is exactly what Mandalin delivers: Turkish cuisine in its finest, purest, most elevated form. A standout moment for me personally was a fish dish—something I normally don’t enjoy. And yet, I was blown away. The quality was so high, and the preparation so masterful, that it transcended my preferences. That says everything. The service? Attentive, warm, and professional throughout. The price? Extremely fair. A 4-course menu at €56 per person feels almost too affordable for the quality you get. Sure, drinks add to the bill—but even then, the overall experience is absolutely worth it. Coming from Germany, where most Turkish restaurants are limited to standard grilled dishes like Döner or Kebap (often of average quality), Mandalin is in a league of its own. It showcases what Turkish cuisine is truly capable of when given the respect and creativity it deserves—without borrowing from other culinary traditions to prove its worth. This is Turkish cuisine confidently playing in the culinary Champions League. A new discovery, and one I can’t recommend enough

This place is a hidden gem. It was a joyful cultural journey. It is not a traditional Turkish restaurant, it is a fine dining Turkish restaurant with very interesting qualified taste. If you care about creativity, this is the right place. Turkish: how beautifully interpreted Turkish cuisine is in this beautiful fine dining place. Of course, there will be those who want to compare it with the tastes in Türkiye, but we really liked that they presented Turkish cuisine in Europe in this wonderful way.

Food is overpriced and not good at all. Meat is not tender and the flavours don't blend in at all. Just the service is okay that makes it bearable. Overal if you wanna throw away money for a low-mid dinner it's fine.

Excellent! Service was personal, yet professional, unhurried and with an eye for detail. Just quickly clean the table in between. Genuinely ask how it tastes. Pleasant, quiet, warm, modern interior with a Turkish touch and hint. In addition; Refined food. We always received beautiful small dishes to share (4 course surprise menu). Surprising and new flavors. Nice wine with it. Price quality top. We will definitely come back. Value for money. An experience. special, something different.

Always a fan of shared dining and this place does it well with slight improvement points. The taste of the food is great. Everything is well balanced and dishes flow into each other perfectly. Next to that portions are pretty decent! Presentation is also great, but sometimes a bit less practical for sharing. A lot of dishes would work well as a serving for a single person. But the shared aspect makes it so you can try everything. It’s like trying food from each others plates. It is slightly pricey, but the service is pretty darn good. Very friendly, service oriented, but could do with a slightly more human touch. Having a server be a bit more connected just makes food taste better. But that’s obviously a personal preference. All in all, a very nice place with very nice food. Close to 5 star. If I could give it 4,5 I would.

We had dinner here on Christmas Day with the entire family, 18 people in total. From the moment I made my reservation, I had good contact with one of the staff members. He also called while we were on our way to check. We received a Christmas menu that cost €75 per person excluding drinks. Down payment made of €25 eu p.p. But it was worth it. From the beginning to the end we enjoyed the food, the atmosphere and the staff. You could look into the kitchen because we were sitting right in front of it. The chefs had a chat with us, had a lot of laughs with the host, and also the owner. Everyone on the staff really made our evening a wonderful one. We will definitely come back in the summer period. The restaurant radiates warmth and you immediately feel that when you step inside. Everyone enjoyed it, thank you Mandalin.

I had the secret menu and it was so delicious! I had everything from their homemade bread, beef tartare, to the sole, pasta, and baklava. The food was full of flavor and the ambiance was really nice too!

I think it's right after Christmas. It was a different experience, we liked the food very much, but we thought it would be okay, but the service is number 10. It is a good choice when you have a special guest. We were guests there when we went to visit my son from Eskişehir.

Mandarin certainly impressed with its beautiful interior, pleasant atmosphere and excellent service. The restaurant exudes luxury, which makes the experience promising at first glance. However, the food itself disappointed. Although the restaurant offers Turkish-inspired dishes, it lacks authenticity. The dishes have been adapted to a more luxurious style, so that the real Turkish cuisine seems to have been lost from sight. For the price you pay, you expect more authenticity and quality. In short, a beautiful restaurant in terms of ambiance, but in terms of culinary experience not what you would hope for.

We ate Adana wagyu, lamb duet, meat ravioli, stuffed wraps, black-eyed peas with yoghurt and beetroot tartare with pastrami. It was all great. Adana wagyu is extra good. The ambiance and atmosphere are very pleasant. If you happen to pass by, you can choose it without thinking for a meal...

Individually furnished, atmospheric restaurant. The four-course menu impressively demonstrated that Turkish cuisine can do much more than just fast food. Fresh ingredients, skilful preparation, and the portion size was just right for us. Plus a very nice service. A nice evening.

The food was delicious. Everything was well-seasoned and fresh. The restaurant was clean and tidy. The atmosphere was pleasant. I received a very warm welcome. The staff were very friendly and customer-focused. They really go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. I really felt like the chef worked with great honor and passion for his craft in the open kitchen. The meat was perfectly cooked and tender, the salad was fresh and crispy, and the fries were also delicious and fried until golden brown and crispy. I was also offered Syrian rice to try. It was very tasty, highly recommended.
