Altin Dilim - München

We had lunch in this turkish restaurant today in Munich. The food is mostly good with nothing to turn heads and some menue items are a bit overpriced.The problem is that most of the staff don't speak english or Arabic and some of them were really tough and rude with the guests.The place is very crowded and people keep standing on top of your head looking at you while you are eating to rush you so they can sit !!!The famoud döner sandwitch is not well stuffed (compared to other döner sandwitch places) and a bit more expensive too.Overal its average and I would not be going there again.

Nyss anlänt i München och i jakt efter ett bra kebabställe hittade vi den lilla pärla. Erbjuder mer än kebab, en del tilltalande maträtter och efterrätter från Turkiet.

It is quite certain that Turkish food is delicious in Turkey but the food in this restaurant is a bit more than average too.

The restaurant is conveniently found a couple blocks from the Hauptbahnhof. Perhaps a bit intimidating at first, like walking into a New York deli, you grab a tray place your order and move along the line cafeteria style. It's fast paced, but don't worry, the guys behind the counter are friendly, however you are best off pointing to the pictures of all the items they offer to make your selection, as we didn't have luck using numbers or names associated with them in either English or German. Thank good ness for the pictures. The food was very reasonably priced and very good. It tasted authentic Turkish, a room full of people speaking Turkish enhance the "real deal" feeling. Don't forget the baclava at the end of the line before paying (they have a half dozen types, try a piece of each), also they have bottle drinks just beyond the paying counter, grab those too quick before paying. Check out the mirror above the tray line, the guy accepting payment can price out your tray from way behind the counter, pretty slick. It isn't readily apparent who to pay, but when you hit the baclava, it's scale and the mirror above the tray line, that's your guy. Enjoy!

Don't let the cafeteria look throw you off! Take the time to look at menu photos, ask questions (they're busy but pleasant folks) - sit down and enjoy. The place is active, clean, and well run. Great lunch choice.
