Lu Restaurant Basel in Basel

Went on a Sunday evening - surprisingly busy. The food was delicious! Dinner took a while but the owner was very kind. Definitely recommend.

Very friendly staff. The food tastes very GOOD and the ambience is very appropriate! 100% happy to come back!

Best Anatolian food in town! Great service, delicious food - overall a great restaurant!

Delicious food, kind service, nice quiet atmosphere. They were helpful with a food intolerance!

Tip top food, ambience and service!

Very, very friendly staff. The food tastes super delicious and the ambience is very appropriate! Always happy to come back!

Enjoy your meal. I go there regularly. Service is excellent

Really good food, amazing local feel and great service- 11/10!

Cool staff and extremely good food!

The food is incredible, very large portions, the service is very good, very friendly, I recommend 100%.

Amazing food and attention from the team working there!

Great food at very good prices. We go here regularly, have always had delicious food and will eat here again and again. The only and unfortunately increasingly major drawback: the service. And unfortunately things are getting worse rather than better. Telephones are often not answered, reservations don't work out due to communication problems, orders are taken incorrectly, plates don't clear for ages and the waiting time for the food is sometimes forever. If this problem is solved, I will give 5 stars!

The food is simply amazing. Best mezze I've ever eaten. The Turkish coffee is also great.

Delicious food, very nice service. I ate Pide and drank lemongrass and ginger tea. Interesting way of serving. I highly recommend it 👍

Small but nice family restaurant. Very nicely decorated. Looks like a boutique restaurant. The food tastes like home 🤩

The food is amaaaziiing and the staff super super friendly and welcoming. Great place to eat.

Great service, food was delicious. Portion size was clearly communicated and extremely generous. Outdoor seating.

Very good service, very friendly and the food is particularly good Mezze is very tasty and can only be recommended

What a wonderful surprise in Basel. Discovered by chance on a cool summer evening. Extremely friendly and attentive service (we were immediately offered blankets to sit outside until something was free inside) who gave us a friendly welcome and gave us great advice on both the menu and the wine selection. The food was very fresh and tasty and offered at very fair prices. This restaurant is highly recommended, we will be back!

Great tasty food and super friendly service! We recommend. We will be back

10/10! Absolutely recommended. Best address in the district.

Meat dishes, appetizers, and the hospitality of the owner were great. The portions are so big that we had the leftovers packed. Definitely the best Turkish restaurant in the region.

Dear reader, dear reader Lu Restaurant Basel, you will find without exception the best Beyti in Basel, even the best Beyti that I know. Other dishes such as B. Ali Nazik or Iskender are super delicious! Simply fantastic, great atmosphere with incredibly friendly service and the food is incredibly tasty, you'll be looking forward to your next visit. Clear further recommendation. Greetings from Düsseldorf.

The food is excellent and the service is very friendly and personable.

Small, nice place. Lovingly managed by owners

First-class food and very nice service

Incredibly delicious food and hospitality that you rarely experience. Absolute must in Basel!!

Very, very tasty. The best Turkish food we've ever had! Attentive service - thank you very much

It is a very nice place in the center of Basel city, offering full Anatolian cuisine. The concept of both cafe and restaurant is very nice. The meals were filling and very delicious. However, combined with Ms. Özlem's friendly attention, it deserves 5 stars.

Food excellent, service warm and courteous. In the end, coffee was forgotten and offered. I can recommend it with a clear conscience

Very good treatment, they gave us great recommendations and everything was great. Very good value for money, recommended!

Really unexpectedly delicious Meze, charming atmosphere, extremely kind service. Got a free refill of my infusion and a free little desert. Would certainly come again next time in Basel!

Best Turkish in Basel. Super nice people too.

The food was good, a little bit too oily.

Very tasty and not expensive 👌🏻

Very tasty, good tasting food. Very friendly service. Simple but great atmosphere. Really recommended.

Great food and super nice service. It's worth a visit.

The food is absolutely top notch and the hosts are very friendly and attentive, a very familiar environment.

Best mezzes in Basel, great Greek mountain tea and a service of select hospitality

warm hospitality, cozy restaurant and very fresh, fine cuisine! Thank you

BEST CUISINE IN BASEL. The food is simply great!! Everything is uniquely good

Great (!) food and incredibly nice service

Wooww spontaneously sat down on a late summer day and found it wonderful and warm. Service was very friendly and above all warm. Real Turkish cuisine with a lot of taste and quality, no industrial quality street kebab but real homemade cuisine and absolutely fair in price. Will come back and bring friends. I had Icli Köfte 😋 see photo. The outside area is still in a sunny hallway for a long time and lets the evening begin.

This little restaurant is such a great treat! The decoration is really nicely put together and the staff is very kind, sweet and helpful. The best part is the food, we ordered a mixture of wraps, mezze and lahmacun. All dishes were beautifully arranged and the taste was amazing! Prices are as per Swiss standards but you will be full for sure. All in all I’m very happy I went there and can only recommend it to anyone looking for a tasty meal.

Delicious and special! Enriching food culture

I didn't eat there but just got a pizza. But it wasn't the last time 😀

Excellent coffee and superb service!

I have rarely eaten such good food from Anatolian cuisine in Switzerland. Thanks!!!

Best Turkish restaurant I haven't eaten better, not even in Turkey

Order the Iskender Kebap and thank me later!!!

Read about lu, tested it today and was worth the money! good food and clean service!

Very tasty oriental cuisine! I can highly recommend Iskender with a mezze plate!

Very attentive, friendly staff. Super tasty, authentic food. Absolutely recommended, I would love to come back.

Excellent cig köfte and meze! The Turkish coffee was the perfect finishing compliment

Cute place, the food is good and waiters are friendly.

Great food, extremely friendly staff, always attentive. You feel like you are a guest in a family's home. In addition, the prices are very fair, in my opinion even very cheap. I would happily recommend Lu, whether it's a family dinner, with a few friends or as a couple, everything goes wonderfully. :)

Delicious food - good portion, great iced coffee, a really nice place where you can also sit outside.

i have been flat in bed for months, a friend brought me lamacun from this beuty of a place. i swear, i was expecting the average, what i recieved was the best thing that has happened to me since i slipped a disc xD thank you guys, when i can move again i'll be down to try the whole menu!

Food 1A! Staff too! Always happy to come back.

My absolute favorite restaurant (currently). The food is so delicious and the service is so friendly that I almost have to call it my second home☺️ Highly recommended. Ea has something for everyone and is inexpensive

The food is very delicious, the employees are very kind and friendly people...

Very nice service :) The food is prepared with love, there is a large selection of vegetarian dishes and the prices are absolutely fair.

Friendly staff, beautiful decor and excellent kofta

Very tasty food, very friendly and warm service and very good advice. I would love to come back.

Very fine food and super nice service!

Very good food and friendly service.

Fantastic, little, family-owned and quaint restaurant in the very hip neighbourhood at Feldbergstrasse in Lesser Basel. The Turkish/Anatolian cuisine is outstanding, the service meticulous and very helpful. Because this is a relatively small restaurant it's highly advised to get a reservation. We had the small mezze plate to share for starters (which was a generous amount for two) and each one main course afterwards which was very filling. The food was not only delicious but also very fairly priced. I would definitely come many times again.

Hearty family restaurant in Kleinbasel. The food is all very tasty and the staff is super friendly. If you want Turkish/Kurdish food, you definitely have to go there.

Fine Turkish food with very friendly service.

Pide is unexpectedly very spicy. People who don't like it spicy wouldn't hesitate to eat it

Amazing, authentic Turkish food! Super nice staff. A must for all connoisseurs.

Super tasty dishes, nice people.

Highly Recommended! Delicious food and good service. Always my pleasure!

This restaurant is very well located in Basel. It is beautiful, very well decorated and has a large outdoor terrace. The food is excellent! You can feel that it is done with a lot of passion. I had a pide that was one of the best I've eaten so far. Perfect!

Good food and friendly people! Recommended

I spent a pleasant afternoon here. Tasty and filling food at an affordable price. The staff is very kind and friendly.

The restaurant is very authentic and serves exceptionally good traditional Turkish food! Definitely a great address.

Very good food and friendly people highly recommended

Good oriental restaurant in Kleinbasel, I've eaten there several times and it was always very tasty 😋 I can only recommend it.

After a twenty minute wait (we were the only ones in the cafe), the wraps were served drenched in sauce. After a few bites the mediocre sauce was unfortunately all we could taste. Not the crispy and fresh taste we were hoping for. It tasted more like fast food than a nice falafel or chicken wrap. The side salad was also drenched in sauce. Unfortunately a big no for us.

Lots of food to fill you up, but not real interesting.

Amazing food, great service and good prices!!

At 9:40 p.m., after a 40-minute wait, I cautiously asked when the food would come - "surely at least another 20 minutes, it's normal to wait an hour" was the defiant answer. The food that was brought past us looked great, but unfortunately the service was extremely poor.

One of the best shops in Basel. Culinary top, super fresh, sauna-friendly service, zero over-the-top, top value for money, good offer even for vegetarians. I regularly eat lunch here and will book catering when the opportunity arises. Six stars.

The mezze, pita bread and bulgur are delicious. The main course aubergine has lots of taste however the oil used is quite heavy. Fast to sit the table down. Very slow to take care of the table or even to check in. Service needs a lot of improvement to keep the clientele happy.

Great flavours and quality food with friendly service. Outside seating available. Extensive choice of dips, starters and mains and good drink selection too.

Best Turkish food I have ever eaten outside of Türkiye/Kurdistan. The owners and their children have made the LU an absolute in-place with their friendliness and warmth.

One of the best cafes in Basel. Everything was Fantastic ! The food so flavorful and so fresh. The staff kind and friendly! A great place with lovely city vibe !

food here is soo good! fresh & with perfect seasoning. great atmosphere, kind service, and so price worthy. go there! mezze-platte <3

Very authentic restaurant with particularly friendly service! The food was incredibly tasty - highly recommended!!

The food is good but far away from 4.9 or even 5 the Hamburgeria next door is much better (at least my taste) the customer support has to get a bad rating for me. I ordered food and 50% was forgotten so I waited 20 minutes for them in the rain. I was a regular customer buying a lot of food from them, but they didn’t even say sorry or offered me a discount. If you treat customers like that, than that is how you lose customers. Good bye! PS: After I received the food and the other half was cold already she packed in the wrong food -.- thx for nothing

Mezze were OK and reasonably priced, but the service was very slow (took us a solid hour from sitting down to getting our food) and unattentive. The beyti kebab was greasy and completely drowned in butter, yet they managed to burn it by leaving it in the oven for too long due to the super slow service. I have had many delicious interpretations of the dish, both in Turkey and in Europe, and this was just wrong. On top of everything it was quite expensive, ended up paying almost 100 CHF for a very mediocre meal for 2.

Super fine Turkish food Fresh, very tasty food Owners are very friendly Come again

Been there once, been a regular customer ever since <3 Best restaurant in Basel, if there is no Corona it is also the coziest atmosphere. Mega warm and welcoming staff, the food comes with a lot of love and dedication... what more could you want? Tip: Mezze plate is large, enough for two people and is just awesome

Very delicious food and friendly staff. In one word, super

The food was delicious and the service was extremely friendly. Unfortunately the card reader was broken, but we could still pay in euros without any problems. We will be back

Super delicious food! A very nice family business, great people, I always enjoy eating here. The Iskender Kebab and the Karniyarik are highly recommended, and all the mezze are excellent too!

The young waitress was super cute!

The Lu Restaurant is absolutely recommended! Excellent food, accompanied by a fine Anatolian wine. Very friendly service. And all of this at a more than fair price. Five stars are deserved!

Amazing cozy place! The food and the service are awesome you'll love the owners. Huge portions at reasonable price, totally worth it
