Topkapi BBQ in Wijk 02 Noordwest

Delicious food and great service! Today I had a wonderful meal at Restaurant Topkapi with my two sons. The service was excellent, and the owner was incredibly friendly and hospitable. We felt very welcome and truly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back!

The portions are incredibly small. You have to wait too long for your food. The meat is also always way too salty. It's a shame, because for that price, I expected better.

I don't know where to begin. I've been to several BBQ restaurants, but this is the worst so far. Besides the fact that the waitresses are barely 16 or 17 years old and are more focused on each other than on the customers, the "chef" in the kitchen isn't very good at his job either. Everything was way too salty, the marinated meat was old, and orders didn't arrive. It's a shame for the price you pay, you expect more. Also, some menu items weren't available. We asked for a glass with ice cubes, which took way too long. It wasn't particularly busy, so I don't understand what's going wrong. I don't blame the waitresses; they're still young and have a lot to learn, but I think the owner should invest more time in his staff so they'll be more motivated. All in all, disappointed. Next time, I'll go to Ortam.

We've always enjoyed dining at Topkapi, but today was unfortunately very disappointing. Upon arrival, we discovered that our reservation hadn't been honored. The staff didn't know we were expected. Once seated, we had to wait over 20 minutes for any coals to be brought. The waitresses seemed very inexperienced and couldn't answer many questions. The dishes we ordered took another 20 to 30 minutes to arrive. When the food finally arrived, even the simplest dishes were disappointing. The rice was watery and tasteless, and unfortunately, this was true for many other dishes. All in all, this experience was far from what we're used to at Topkapi. We won't be returning anytime soon.

Allahouma Bareek is a really great place, hats off to them. Halal-friendly too; we asked if the music could be turned down, and they did so without any problems. We'll be back here often, in shaa Allah.

Allah houma bareek top restaurant! The food was excellent, the ladies were super super friendly. Everything was top notch, down to the last detail. The music was turned off at our request. I wish this entrepreneur everything her beautiful heart desires! Highly recommended.

Super service! Had a great meal with 9 people. Staff is very friendly and the food is delicious. All you can eat with quality.

Everything top, service and food. Worth repeating!

The restaurant looks nice, the atmosphere is nice, but there are a lot of faults, firstly it is expensive for what it offers, secondly: you will see that their advertisement says that they have a wide selection of fish, this is not true, there is only salmon, in one preparing way, and it is also not included in the entrance price per person, vegetarians are not advised to enter at all, they will not find delicious food.. since the vegetables are not seasoned with anything, their taste is not delicious. The meat and chicken are delicious, but I think the price is more expensive than it is worth.. It also says that they open at 4, but they open at 4:30.

Had a great meal, it was delicious. Definitely recommended. Friendly staff

Good service, nice person and definitely recommended!♥️

It was super cozy and the service was definitely good!

Friendly staff, food was tasty and good quality meat

Food was delicious and we were well served.

The food was delicious, the service was good and it was another great evening.

Very good service! Very friendly and delicious food!!

The food was great, the staff was super nice and helpful. They really make you feel like you are the only one in the business, even though it is a very busy business. The owner was also involved and nice. All in all a top store and highly recommended!

Top service from Manar and the crew. Food also very good!

Great food, I will come back here more often

We had a delicious meal here in a cozy atmosphere. The ladies were very friendly and were asked several times if everything was to your liking. At the end we were offered a hot drink on the house. I will definitely come back here again.

We received a very friendly welcome, the service is top notch and we listen carefully to your wishes.

Delicious food and a good atmosphere. Definitely recommended.

Nice place with tasty food and super friendly staff. Highly recommended!!

Best restaurant in Utrecht, definitely recommended!!

Best BBQ restaurant ever So good service and nice food And great team Love it so much Was a great day for having dinner with family there ♥️♥️♥️♥️

As a tourist visiting Utrecht, Topkapi BBQ was honestly one of the highlights of my trip. The food was incredibly flavorful and fresh, every bite felt like it was made with care. The staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel right at home even though we were just passing through. The atmosphere was relaxed yet vibrant, perfect for enjoying a good meal with friends or family. If you’re in Utrecht and craving something delicious, this place is a must-try!

My first time at Topkapi BBQ, but certainly not the last! Been with my family and the service was great. All my wishes were fulfilled before I could even ask, that's what I call service. The food was delicious, the marinade, the side dishes, everything tasted just right. Enjoyed it and sang for the birthday boy. This restaurant gets a ten from me.

What a fantastic experience at Topkapi BBQ in Utrecht! We were celebrating my mother's birthday, and the staff surprised us by singing a song especially for her. A truly personal and heartwarming gesture! The food was great, with an extensive choice of dishes that fit perfectly with an all-you-can-eat concept. Everything was fresh and full of flavour. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed, and the service was friendly and attentive. Highly recommended for a wonderful, carefree evening out!

Honestly bless these people of topkapi. It was delicious, staff was great, vibe was good. 10/10 will come again

Not a good BBQ concept, more quality needs to be added

Been here for a company dinner, good atmosphere, meat was fresh and varied, everything was well seasoned and marinated. Top service, everything came quickly and smoothly.

I had dinner here yesterday and it was delicious. Warm welcome, great atmosphere and the food was delicious. Staff were attentive. I will definitely come back here many times! Highly recommended

We received the orders super late. The orders did not correspond to reality. We order red meat but get chicken every time. Fries and rice arrived much too late. Wait at least 40 minutes for the next round. There were 12 of us and we had to make do with 2 dishes, while a table of 7 people also got 2 dishes. Drink arrived warm and smelled heavily of sewage. We will never come here again.

Very nasty owner, antisocial, I went there to eat, it was inedible, everything was chaotic, both the owners and the place itself. I would not recommend it, the food was rubbish and it smelled like sewage at the table where I was sitting.

If you want to be ripped off, come here. Offering Iftar and not even a decent space for prayer. Praying almost in the toilet/kitchen. If you order something, there are 2 options, or you don't get what you order or very late. Also, there was very little coal in it, so the food was not good. Would not go here.

Delicious food at Top Kapi restaurant! Very good concept that barbecue and a big 10 for the staff

Delicious food, always a party there Everything is well organized and everything tastes so delicious that when you go out to eat with your wife or family, you will definitely go back again, worth repeating Top service

Bad service. Every time you order something you don't get it completely. You pay €45 per person but they are so stingy here. Never again for us!

Had a terrible problem with sewer smell inside, poor service

Dirty smell inside smells like sewer, price is definitely overpriced with drinks it goes up to €60 P.P. First rounds just came steak then just veal was brought despite having indicated it.

Food was fine but it smelled terribly like sewer. It was impossible to eat with such a smell in the same room. Something really needs to be done about that 🤢

We decided to do iftar here for the first time, but unfortunately it is also the last time. Upon entering we were barely greeted; it only said, “Your place is there.” It didn't feel like a warm welcome, which didn't give a good first impression. Food (7.5/10) The food itself tasted great, but the portions were on the small side in relation to the price. For what you pay, we expected more. Service (2/10) The service was downright disappointing. • Orders placed several times via the tablet, but these did not go through. • Each order took 15-20 minutes, and when it finally came, it was incomplete. • At one point we couldn't order at all because the time had expired, even though we hadn't eaten enough yet. • Even though it is an 'all you can eat' concept, we were only 60% full and still had to pay full price. When we reported our complaints at the checkout, we only received excuses. The employee seemed to expect that we should just accept it and behave like 'good customers'. No understanding whatsoever. Atmosphere (6/10) It was drafty all the time, which wasn't exactly comfortable, but that was out of their control. To conclude, we were asked at the checkout if we wanted cologne, but the bottle was almost empty. A small detail, but it sums up the whole experience: sloppy and little attention to the customer. A simple solution would have been to refill the bottle, but even that was not possible. Final conclusion: For €65 per person we expected a much better experience.

I do not like the meat, they offer a lot of chicken wings, few of red meat and almost nothing of seafood. I was happy because I was invited but I would be very disappointed if I would have to pay.

⚪️ Unfortunately disappointing, for €50 p.p. you expect better quality. Upon entering there is a stinking sewage smell and I am not the first to notice that. You really need to do something about it. ⚪️ First of all, we reserved 6:30 PM and our time starts at 6:10 PM while you can't even eat anything because you're waiting for iftar, so 20 minutes away for nothing. ⚪️ Secondly, the rules literally say lamb chop and salmon are a one-off, when our dish came there was no lamb chop or salmon, when I asked I was told that these are old rules, sorry, but then you have to change them. ⚪️ We could only order 5 products per round while we were 5 people, which is never enough, when we said something about it, it was increased to 10, which is also very little for 5 people and you can order every 10 minutes. ⚪️ If you order meat you have to wait a while, but if you order drinks they will be brought immediately ⚪️ Each round bring almost less than you ordered, we order 9 steaks, only 4 steaks come and even very mini pieces. ⚪️Last ​​rounds we also ordered steak but they bring veal as if we wouldn't know, very strange It's better to eat somewhere else for a lower price than here, where you get lamb chops

Strong sewage smell upon entry. They do everything they can to stretch for 2 hours Very slow service There were 6 people, but you could only order 5 mini pieces each time. WORTHLESS Drinks came in a minute because you had to pay extra for them. Last year's prices are listed on their site, so BEWARE!!! We asked for beef steak but always got veal steak. Paid for 2 hours of all you can eat, but after 1.5 hours the iPad was turned off so you couldn't order anything anymore. Severe abdominal pain after eating We will NEVER eat here again!!!

Stinky smell inside, unfortunately not worth the price

Top Top Top Topkapi 👌🏽 Just can't be described better 🤷🏻‍♂️

After the first round you can order yourself, but the portions were very economical. If you order mushrooms you literally get half a mushroom. There was also a lot available/not available. The meat and side dishes tasted good. The staff were welcoming and friendly. It was a shame that there was a kind of toilet spray smell for a long time, even with all those extractor hoods above the tables.

Disappointing service at Topkapi BBQ Today I visited Topkapi BBQ with my mother and brother around 6:00 PM. This was my second visit, but for my mother and brother the first – and probably the last. Although the food was tasty, the service was disappointing. There were two waitresses: one was friendly and professional, while the other, a girl wearing a headscarf, often sat behind the counter and seemed unreliable. After dinner (around 7:00 PM) I went to wash my hands, while my mother went to pay the less friendly waitress. When I got back I asked if she had paid, and she had already. I was surprised, because I wanted to order Moroccan tea, something my mother also likes to drink. Because our reservation was until 8:00 PM and we still had time left, I decided to order tea after all. To my surprise a child was sent to our table to say there was no tea. I found this unprofessional and misleading. How can a restaurant of this level not have tea? When we wanted to leave, the friendly waitress came up to us and asked: “You ordered tea, don't you want it anymore?” To our surprise, the tea turned out to be ready and on the menu for €2.50. We decided to stay and saw that the less reliable waitress tried to shift the blame to her colleague, who was simply doing her job well. When paying, the less than honest waitress suddenly became nervous and claimed that the tea was free, while on my previous visit I simply had to pay. This came across as an attempt to cover up her lie. Advice to Topkapi BBQ: • Be transparent about your offering and menu. • Train your staff on honesty and customer friendliness. • Consider replacing unreliable staff. A restaurant should be a place where customers feel respected and welcome, not where they are misled. Ramadan Mubarak to the sincere Muslims!

There was a very nice atmosphere and all the workers were very sweet and fast. It was an all you can eat concept and the meat roasted nice and quickly and was of very good quality. It also tasted nice and fresh. Highly recommended for a family outing. Other than that there was nothing to complain about.

Yes, sorry, really dirty, they just smoke in the restaurant

delicious food, nice people and good and fast service, compliments for the hospitality.

We had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. The service was terrible, and the staff treated us poorly. They were clearly understaffed, and we had to wait 35 minutes. Even the toilets were not functioning properly – there was no light, so you had to use a flashlight to go to the toilet. On top of that, the tablet didn't work. If a restaurant has so many issues, they should rather close instead of staying open and charging the same high prices. Disappointing experience – Poor service and lots of problems We had a very disappointing experience in this restaurant. The service was poor and the staff treated us unpleasantly. They were clearly understaffed, and we had to wait 35 minutes. Even the toilets didn't function properly – there was no light, so you had to go to the toilet with a flashlight. In addition, the tablet did not work. If a restaurant has so many problems, they should close instead of staying open and charging the same high prices.

Way too expensive for poor quality! ⭐☆☆☆☆ I really don't understand how this restaurant gets such good ratings! This was a big disappointment and definitely not worth €45 per person – and that's without drinks! • Poor meat quality: Dry, too salty and not at all as expected. For this price you expect something much better. • Ordering was a drama: You have to ask the staff dozens of times before something finally arrives. • Long waiting times: Waiting far too long between orders – “All You Can Eat” makes no sense if you have to wait forever. • Stressed and unfriendly staff: You have the feeling that they are overworked and irritated. • Toilets were terrible: No light, dirty and poorly maintained – really not okay! For this price I expect much better service and quality food. Definitely not recommended! Way too expensive for poor quality! ⭐☆☆☆☆ I honestly don't understand the good reviews for this place! It was a huge disappointment and definitely not worth €45 per person – and that's without drinks!. • Poor meat quality: Dry, overly salty, and nowhere near what you'd expect for this price. • A nightmare to order: Had to ask the staff several times before anything was brought. • Ridiculously long waiting times: You wait so long between orders that “All You Can Eat” becomes pointless. • Stressed and unfriendly staff: They seemed overworked and annoyed the entire time. • Terrible restrooms: No lights, dirty, and poorly maintained – absolutely unacceptable! For this price, I expected way better service and food quality. Would not recommend at all! Thank you for the poor quality! ⭐☆☆☆☆ I can absolutely not see these positives here! Diese BBQ-Restaurant wird een siege Enttäuschung und definitiv keine 45 € per Person wert – und die ohne Getränke! • Fleischqualität miserable: Trocken, überwürzt and fell zu salzig – absolut nicht das, was man für diesen Preis erwarten würde. • Order a patience probe: You must ensure that your personal details are delivered at all. • Lange Wartezeiten: Viel zu lange zwischen den Bestellungen – „All You Can Eat“ bringst nichts, wenn man always warten muss. • Stressed and unfreundliches Personal: Man felt that he was happy, because he was superior and nervous. • Toilets are a disaster: Not light, dirty and untouched – never leave! For the price you pay for the German service and high quality services in Essen. Definitiv nicht empfehlenswert!

Grill in full swing. I recommend.

Definitely worth repeating. Thank you!

Delicious food and friendly staff

What a gang: Upon arrival: 6:45 PM she started complaining that we were fifteen minutes late. We had made a reservation at 6:45 PM. Every round there was something, no sauce, wrong sauce, no meat, different meat. We ordered steak 14 times because there were 7 of us. Literally got 5 pieces. They do everything they can to stretch those 2 hours. Dessert? If you ask for some baklava they just don't bring it. Super rude staff. It took ages between rounds so the 2 hours were already over and we were still hungry. Folks, the negative reviews are really true! Avoid this place! Not to mention that you are put at a table of 4 with 7 people!!!!!!

There were only two other tables on a Monday evening and still part of the menu was sold out. So much for "all you can eat". Furthermore, the coffee machine was broken, so it's a shame that our first time was not so great. The girl who served us was very attentive.

No drinks were offered when we entered. The salad was ice cold and drowning in the dressing, the rice was not warm. All the meat had the same overly peppery marinade.

Top quality meat! Great service! Very customer-friendly and nice waitress named Sara.

Unfortunately, all negative reviews are correct. We came in and immediately smelled a huge sewage smell. Unfortunately we smelled it the whole time. Not really good food. Some things on the menu were not there and there was no coffee either. It really wasn't the staff's fault. Those girls were fantastic and tried to solve everything. Going to the toilet was like being in the middle of a factory. I don't know what that noise was, but it was unbearable. So the food wasn't special, nor was the restaurant itself, but the waitresses were great!

delicious food in a cozy atmosphere with excellent service.

The time limit was only two hours in exchange for very slow service. When we ordered the dessert, it took a long time until the end of the time. When it was placed on the table, the employee came to us without taking into account the presence of two children and told us that our time was up and we should leave. I do not recommend it at all.

Restaurante limpio y espacioso con un servicio muy amable y rápido, carne de calidad y buenos precios. Cada ronda de platos se puede pedir a través de una tableta con opciones de alimentos, opciones de servicio y precios. Sin embargo, el número de verduras disponibles podría mejorarse.

Everything went well, tablet worked well... Service was bad, they came this is gone..that's gone, finally not!!! Went with a group of 10, half of the group got to eat, the rest did not...meat was thin slices and nicely marinated, it was just delicious.

Top restaurant, I thought it was cold but otherwise fine. Too bad about a piece of lamb chop.

I went with some friends yesterday. The meat was not chewable. I'm sitting here in my bed now with heartburn soup really doesn't look like soup that soup tastes like warm Wet socks You get water bottles that are already open. It seems that it is still fresh from tap water. Refilling it gives you a nice bottle, but I think they make refillable ones. We're not talking about that dessert. You get a dessert smaller than an ant and you get an ice cream scoop of strawberries in 2 mm. Meter you know what the real thing is the atmosphere is not cozy and that is the worst the iPad says you pay this amount when you are done when you get to the last one. When you order dessert If you order, they will order your €25 rover and you will be €25 lighter because it is January 1 and they never passed it on, what an unprofessional time, this is my last if you want to lose your life due to broken stomach acid, not recommended

What a terrible experience! The service was extremely slow, and we had to ask several times before our order was finally taken. The atmosphere in the restaurant was weird and uncomfortable, and the staff seemed disinterested and chaotic. The food was not tasty at all The meat was of poor quality, dry and tasteless. Definitely not what you expect at a BBQ restaurant. And then the price: the website said €39.95 per person, but at checkout they suddenly charged €49.95! Pure scam. This was a real waste of our money. I recommend everyone to avoid this restaurant.

Enjoyed the high-quality food together with my family! Very friendly owner and staff! Very helpful and fun! Definitely eat there again!

Delicious food, friendly staff and a fun experience!

The nice atmosphere makes time fly

You can enjoy delicious food here for a fixed price, excluding drinks. Staff very friendly. Service could be a little faster. Otherwise fine.

Fun to do. Nice to try with a small group. This review is based on an experience with a larger group of people. Food was nice, but soms meat pieces were very saulty. Also some items were not available from the menu, which we had to figure out once we were eating and trying to order the other items. You can choose between a piece of Salmon or Lambchop to start with. If you want another one, then you have to pay for it, which does not feel like all you can eat. Beef, chicken, turkey and gamba's can be ordered in an all you can eat concept. The lights shine directly in your face. The lights can dimm, but then you can't see how well your meat has been prepared. This is something that needs to be sorted. People providing the service were very nice! But maybe at an additional staf member or do not accept bigger groups. It took time to get basic things, like sauces, fries and soms drinks came later then others. Cleaning of the table was done before we could start our dessert, which is nice, however while cleaning the lady got distracted and left the cleaning half done with the dirty cloth still on the table. Another lady was bussy with the scent in the restaurant, but that was an overwhelming smell for everyone around our table. Overal, the intentions are good, but best to visit with a small group (two or four people). With a bigger group comes more demands. Also good to inform people upfront that the full menu is not available. Hopefully next time and with this feedback we will have a better experience. Will try it with a smaller group as I do think the concept is good, the restaurant is clean and the people are nice.

Friendly staff and a nice dining option. Very tasty food. Definitely come back.

Food was reasonable... not very good and not bad... service was good except for the cheap trick when paying, we have a pin problem because they prefer to receive cash and not via pin!

Lots of varied food, from meat to fries, salad, rice, soup, delicious fresh bread with dips. The girl at the counter was very nice. Music could be a bit quieter (we were right next to the box).

Food was delicious, very special atmosphere, especially the employees, such types do not set up a restaurant, I expect experienced employees and how... who I can take with me with a tip, if I come to a place like this with my family, I would rather not have that If my little one has insight into things, then go and work in a sauna club

deliciously seasoned meat, cozy atmosphere. We will definitely come there more often!

Extremely bad experience. Chaos in the kitchen and service meant that we had a portion of fries, no rice (had run out) and very limited meat in two hours. This is far from all you can eat. Given the chaos, we left dessert alone. When we spoke to the staff about it, the argument was that there were too few staff. Quite a horror experience that should have been a fun night out.

I will definitely come back for a delicious meal with my granddaughter 🙌🏻

After yesterday we as a group are a little less enthusiastic. We eat here often and everything goes well. The tablet did not work, so everything had to be submitted manually. Sometimes we didn't get everything and had to ask more often where something was. This was tiring with a large group. Unfortunately, we were unable to pay by card at checkout and the icing on the cake is that you pay 45 euros for an 11 year old here. We found this to be a less pleasant experience. Otherwise the staff is friendly and the food is good. Also great in terms of hygiene.

It was really tasty and friendly people, highly recommended

It was super fun, we had a delicious meal and the service was great.. Staff were very friendly

I was here with a group of 11 people, very well organized, good food, very friendly staff, highly recommended if you like good food and great service.

What a nice evening we had! Top service, friendly people, delicious food and nothing was too much to ask. To be repeated!!

What a disappointment! This restaurant is heavily promoted by influencers, but it is really rubbish. There is no atmosphere or ambiance at all. I honestly think it is the worst restaurant of its kind. We were the first to receive a bowl of meat, which was full of chicken and merguez, even though we came for the meat. It feels like you are forced to eat this first, which of course leaves you less room for other dishes you would like to order. In Utrecht, for example, you have Otantik BBQ, which is much better. But if you really want to go to the best, you should stay loyal to the first and real barbecue restaurant, which is Ortam BBQ. I very much regret that we came here and it will certainly not be repeated.

Top place, good food and nice staff!

If you go out to eat with your family it is a bit less if you go with friends it is much more fun service was great atmosphere was also fine the food was not really to our taste, opinions may differ.

On Eid we went to eat at Topkapi in Utrecht, and we were so pleased! The staff is friendly and we enjoyed the food. Everything is wonderfully fresh, and the service was really good! Nothing was too much to ask for the servers. It was our first time at Topkapi and certainly not the last time!

The staff is arrogant and does not pay any attention to the guest(s) during tea parties. Food was fine

As for staff: nothing to complain about. Nicely served and helped. The portions seem smaller than in previous years, but the price is a lot higher, which is a shame. Not worth repeating anymore.

As always, the food was delicious, the atmosphere was great and the service was fantastic

Het eten was echt heerlijk top kwaliteit en echt waar voor je geld! Zeer vriendelijk personeel. Vlees is echt heel erg goed gekruid en vers! Als je een grote eter bent dan zit je hier goed!

Tasty food and good service, orders are delivered directly to the table even though it was very busy! Staff was also very friendly, we were well received! I will definitely come back here again!

Food was delicious, service was great! Attentive that the owner or manager? You also come to ask if everything is to your liking. We will definitely come back again.

Service and food were simply great!

Tasty food and fast service. You'll see us again soon!

What a service. Wonderful place to have a good meal. Friendly staff, top service. Keep it up

Iftar in Ramadan atmosphere (dates, milk, chebakia and harira). Good food, good service and the restaurant looks nice and chic. Keep going!
