tantpis in Zürich

The food is authentic and everything we ordered was really delicious and the service was very pleasant and friendly! A bit expensive for students but absolutely worth it.

The food tasted fantastic from the starter to the poppy seed cake. The food came at an excellent pace. The service was excellent and very kind. I will visit this restaurant again soon and hope that the operators can keep the quality high.

Tant Pis in Zurich is a culinary delight, offering an authentic Turkish dining experience. The ambiance blends traditional and modern elements, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. The menu showcases fresh, local ingredients, with dishes like the mezze platter and perfectly grilled meat standing out. Service at Tant Pis is exceptional, making every meal memorable. It's a vibrant spot in Zurich for those eager to explore rich Turkish flavors in a cozy setting.

“A visit to ‘Tat Pis’ feels like a little trip to the Anatolian homeland. The excellent food, authentic and finely prepared, is convincing across the board. Great service and a pleasant atmosphere complete the experience. Price-performance is top. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to enjoy real Anatolian cuisine!”

Delicious turkish food ! Feels like homemade.. very pleasant surprise! Recommend trying kavurma and manti ! gozleme are best I ever had 😃 thank you to chef and team 👍

Devrimci Restaurant, the food is good.

The food was good, even excellent, but the portions weren't particularly large. The restaurant inside is extremely small, like a room. We were there with a group and in winter when the garden is not open, it is just too small and too loud, so loud that you had to shout at each other, which I found unpleasant. Anyone who likes Turkish-Lebanese food will definitely get their money's worth. The quality is right, the price is Zurich, which means expensive. We received records and had to share everything. I was still hungry after dinner and had to eat a lot of bread to fill myself up. The ambience is a matter of taste, the pictures of Lenin, Che Guevara and other Marxists irritated me, and the fact that you could only pay with cash. I mean, it's nice if you don't want to take part in the whole capitalist digital circus, but on the other hand, only accepting cash is a bit stupid, since pretty much the whole world now works with cards and it would be more left-wing to have slightly more moderate prices and more generous portions rather than pretending to be a communist bar and then acting capitalist with fairly high prices and small portions. Then when we made the reservation it was said that our group could rent the restaurant for themselves. When we arrived, there were other guests there too. The boss justified this by saying that otherwise he would not make enough sales. At around 40-50 francs per person, I think that's a pretty problematic excuse, especially if you think in a communist way, you should make it possible for people with a small budget to get a rich meal and not focus on sales. I guess they just have to pay too much rent. Anyway, as an old leftist, I'd rather go to the Red Factory. There is usually space there, the noise is tolerable, you can also pay by card, the prices and portions are acceptable and the "anti-capitalist" atmosphere (whatever that means in a globalized world that is already ruled by big data and big money whether we like it or not) is still there. That's why I'm deducting the stars, the ambience, they can't do anything about it, I'm deducting it because it was simply unbearably loud and the agreement wasn't kept, also because only cash was accepted and the portions were too much for my stomach were small.

I recently stumbled upon this hidden gem of a restaurant and I have to say, it was a delightful surprise. The food here is simply outstanding. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and it was evident that everything was freshly prepared and lovingly cooked. What sets this family restaurant apart is not just the incredible food, but also the warm and friendly service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that I had a memorable dining experience. Their attentiveness and genuine hospitality added an extra layer of charm to the already exceptional meal. If you are a fan of Turkish cuisine, this place is a must-visit. From the perfectly seasoned foods to the mouthwatering mezes, every dish showcases the finest Turkish flavors. The attention to detail and the authenticity of the cuisine truly make this restaurant stand out. I feel fortunate to have stumbled upon this hidden gem, and I can't recommend it enough. Whether you're a local or a visitor, make sure to give this place a try. You won't be disappointed. It's a true testament to the culinary wonders of Turkish cuisine. In conclusion, my experience at this restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. The delicious and fresh food, combined with the friendly service, made for an unforgettable dining experience. Trust me, you won't regret paying a visit to this remarkable establishment.

35.- fr for 2 lamb pies, each with 35g of meat on it and a coffee cup of rice, just cheeky. A lot of pre-bought food is homemade and simply slightly preheated. Dough in the spinach was slightly watery, probably frozen...

Fine redfish fillet on Friday lunchtime. And a little mini dessert without asking 😊 Tasty mezze plates. Unfortunately you can only pay in cash.

It was my third visit and once again the food was great and the service was super nice. Wasn't my last visit!

We enjoyed a very nice evening for two. The food was authentic, just like mom's. The prices are high, but we will happily come back.

A chic restaurant in the middle of the city that offers real Turkish food that's not just kebab. Also highly recommended for vegans.

Unfortunately I have to adjust my 4 star rating to 2 stars. Reason: we have reserved a table in the beautiful garden at 7:45 p.m. during the week. We had to wait a relatively long time before we could order. We didn't get a drinks menu. At 8:00 p.m. we were able to order, at 8:10 p.m. we were informed that half of the dishes we ordered (everything with lamb) were not available and then we had to wait another almost 60 minutes for our food. There was no apology from the not very friendly waiter. The portions were super small and the prices in the evening were significantly higher (far too high - price performance is not right at all!) than at lunch. When we paid, they initially didn't want to give us the 10.00 refund (sorry, but unfortunately there is no tip for that evening!) And he didn't want to accept the 50/20rp pieces either. Sorry, but if you can still only pay in cash in 2023 (that's okay with us), then all cash must be accepted! It's a shame because I've been there a few times at lunchtime but I don't even want to have the evening experience! Previous review: Delicious, very authentic, Turkish-oriental selection of dishes. The restaurant is inviting inside and there is a great garden terrace in the courtyard. The service is friendly. Attention: only cash payment or Lunchcheck card.

Wonderful little restaurant that defies the widespread revaluation in Zurich. The cooking is done with a lot of love and hospitality is the focus.

The garden is a highlight, especially in summer. The food is always a good surprise (positive). I'd love to come there.

A top recommendation. A beautiful garden or backyard that is really an insider tip. Totally quiet and so central to the train station and this area. Excellent season, you can trust the wine recommendation. Good value for money. Friendly, very attentive service. We, I will definitely be back.

I came here with friends on the weekend and we sat outside in the courtyard. The first thing we noticed was the cash only sign, so we had to go find an ATM (luckily not super far away). The service is very friendly but takes a while to get to your table. The food also took quite a while to receive. Two friends got the vegetarian and meat mezze plate — most of the dishes were vegetarian (except the köfte on the meat plate). Luckily I ordered the Köfte Piyaz plate, which seemed to be a better amount for a similar price. Another friend ordered the chicken skewers and took 15-20 minutes to receive for 3 pieces of small chicken. Their hummus also took a while to receive. All in all, the food is good but takes quite a while to receive (do not come here if you’re in a hurry).

Wonderful restaurant in a cozy courtyard - warm service, just as if you were still (or again) on holiday in Turkey - and very fine mezze, prepared with a lot of love. I rarely leave reviews unless a restaurant stands out - this one did in my opinion.

We sat outside in a lovely garden area and enjoyed tasty mezze and mains. The service was attentive but we did wait a while for our food to come due to having to go as we had to get cash from the money machine to pay. We hadn’t realised it was cash only until we got there. We should have ordered before we left to go to the money machine as then we were waiting over an hour between arriving and food coming.

I am a big fan of Tant Pis and it is one of my favorite restaurants in Zurich. I come here at least once a month and eat my way through the menu :) For me, the best mezze is here. But you also have to try the other main courses (including dessert, baklava!!!). Everything is fantastically prepared by the wonderful chef who cooks with a lot of passion and love. The food tastes wonderful every time (freshly prepared every day!!!!) and, above all, authentic! You notice the familiar, harmonious atmosphere and that it is run by a very friendly couple. In summer there is a beautiful garden in the backyard. The interior design is also very inviting and you just feel comfortable! :) I can really recommend this restaurant from the bottom of my heart! Right in the center, yet in a quiet location and very easily accessible!

Great place, amazing service, good food and best location !

Unfortunately we misunderstood each other: I would have liked falafel and spicy eggplant salad. It's not spicy at all!! I asked for a little more hummus (because there was a lot of bread) - but in the end there was even more bread! 😫 Had the take-away version. Therefore it could no longer be corrected. It also cost 17 CHF and in the end it was more bread than anything else…

Super nice staff and the food was simply delicious. We had kofta and gözleme as a starter and then a hearty plate of manti. We will be back.

Overall, the Tant Pis turned out to be a flop for us. We had heard a lot of positive things, but unfortunately we were disappointed. The Tant Pis promotes its social philosophy with only cash payments so that asylum seekers and undocumented migrants can also dine there without electronic means of payment, but then charges exorbitant prices that this very fringe group could never afford. We ordered the well-known homemade Mantis, which, although tasty, barely filled a small bowl and cost over 30 Fr per portion! A large water cost 12.50 Fr! The price-performance ratio is absolutely inadequate. The restaurant was small/nice, but nothing special, as was the condition. With the best will in the world, we couldn't justify these exorbitant prices. We won't come a second time. Thank you very much

Very tasty and nice service! Be careful, take enough cash with you. Payment only with lunch check or cash.

Mega Sympha & Fein, best discovery of 2023 so far!

To describe this place in one word... FOODGASM! Home made food, like Turkish mother's cooking, everything I tried was DELICIOUS! Had acili, kofte, kisir, sarma&dolma (home made sarma and dolma, dolma is dried eggplans and dried pepper 🤤🫠) and kofte appetizer... Oh! Did I do a happy dance!! Manti.... out of this world! Best ever I've had at a restaurant... Mind you, had several in Turkey, NY and NJ! Nothing compares to their manti... Almost as good as my mom's homecooked manti! FYI, this place is CASH ONLY.

Very nice food and friendly service, i will definitely come back here again, but be aware that they unfortunately only accept cash.

Delicious food. Friendly staff. Also good with larger groups. Cozy location. Good wine.

There were 12 people inside and the service was great. Light dishes from vegan to meat and fish were fine.

Very friendly staff, very tasty and fresh food, a lot of it vegetarian and vegan.

Super delicious food and very friendly service. Also gluten-free/vegan no problem - highly recommended!

Tant Pis is one of my favorite restaurants in Zurich. For me the go-to mezze place. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is very cozy and refreshing. I particularly liked the garden area in the inner courtyard. I always like to come here with groups, be it for birthdays or business lunches, it always works. Everyone is warmly welcomed here and the owners are very friendly. Tant Pis is really charming and definitely has more character than the usual Zurich yuppy establishment. See you next time

Hearty and simple. Special menu card. Delicious.

Super personable and warm... the food was sensational... you can let yourself fall into the hands of these two with a clear conscience and trust in their recommendation! Lovely again!

Super friendly service, delicious food and charming atmosphere. Insider tip in Zurich!

I can recommend this small but very fine restaurant, the food was just perfect and very tasty, I haven't really found a restaurant in Zurich that is better. Service super friendly!

Delicious food and friendly service make a perfect combination. Terrace in summer is like a green island in the middle of the big city. The selection of vegetarian dishes is just as good as those containing meat. Attention, cash payment only!

Great tasty food in a very original atmosphere, the waiter was really helpful and kind translating the menu in english for us. Would definitely come back

Delicious mezze, pleasant atmosphere and kind service :) The price is fair, but you need to bring cash!

Wonderful evening with relatives. The fact that the restaurant doesn't accept credit or debit cards makes me only give it 4 stars. Because cash in the evening also attracts “guests” who are happy to take it from the owner. The justification for paying in cash may seem obvious, but there is also something dubious about it: tax? not to speak of other things. The service and the meze put together were very good, as was the wine. We'll be happy to come back if there's cart payment available😉

Super delicious food, thank you very much🧡

delicious food and super friendly staff, there is a lot of choice for vegetarians too.

Delicious food and lots of veggies

Good food, nice restaurant and extremely friendly service - I've been there many times and can only recommend it!

Super cool Gebu Party gsi...everything delicious and cozy...thanks to Chefe

The best thing about the place is the interior terrace, which is appreciated on very hot days. The rest, food and service are average...they are friendly and that's it but nothing more.

Simply great. , condition eat everything perfect.

If you want to enjoy authentic Turkish cuisine, Tant Pis is the right place. The palate is spoiled and surprised at the same time with the most varied mezes. What I would recommend is definitely “Acili” Meze. Of course I also want to praise the service. Of course very friendly but also twice as attentive and, most importantly, always a smile on his face. My conclusion is: I always enjoy coming from far away Thurgau to this very tasty restaurant. Thank you Tant Pis!

I can hardly find the right words for this super delicious and authentic cuisine at TANT PIS. The couple, who have been running the restaurant for 25 years, are friendly, warm-hearted and hospitable. It was my first visit here, but certainly not the last. Thank you very much for a successful evening with a suitable atmosphere.

Great service, great food and the prices are right too. The location is great! Feel like I'm in Istanbul! Cok supersiniz!

Amazing outside location, great food and lovely family service

Authentic cuisine, friendly, courteous service... ordered various mezes based on recommendations... were very good😋The courtyard was great! First time here…but definitely not the last time!

Great restaurant with extremely delicious food and super friendly hosts. We recommend! (By the way, not only beautiful interior, but also cozy pretty backyard!)

We ordered mantis, mezze plates and appetizers. +Beautiful courtyard +Friendly staff +Authentic cuisine +Price/performance +Freshly made Mantis -Slightly longer waiting times at Mantis -Cash only (ideologically I think it's ok)

Very pleasant atmosphere in the garden, food beautifully prepared, fresh, seasonal and regional food processed, many guests and therefore somewhat long waiting times, highly recommended

An excellent Turkish restaurant in Zurich!! Friendly welcome and very fine cuisine. Do not miss.

Great garden. I was disappointed with the food. We had mezze and a lot of it was very bland. Unfortunately, the service didn't have a good day either. The groove was something like: “Get out of my way, I have to work here.” Too bad.

Family restaurant with Turkish mezze. Both (husband & wife) very friendly and very good food. I can only recommend

Great food, beautiful garden and very, very nice staff!!! Truly the best Mantis I've ever had!!

Super good meze, very cozy atmosphere and super nice and attentive staff!

The food was excellent, the service was very friendly. We will be back.

Nice owner, making his best to make you feel like home. The restaurant is simple and cozy. Food is very tasty, manly from Anatolian region.

Tant pis is a charming little restaurant with a beautiful garden for warmer days, you can look forward to spring or enjoy the excellent cuisine inside regardless of the weather. Oriental and Mediterranean go hand in hand. Yummy.

A culinary learning path into Izmir cuisine. The best pulpos far and wide and new knowledge about warm halwa with additional raki. Fantastic. In addition to first-class preparation of all main courses. Including the charming operation of the Padron. A short detour to the Ottoman region without the travel stress. Always my pleasure.

Fantastic mezze, perfect service and beautiful back garden. Absolutely lovely!

Very good food. Efe was very nice and the best service I've ever had 🤩🤩 The iced tea is especially great!!

Very nice courtyard with a great atmosphere. Food exceeded all expectations and the service was really friendly.

Very tasty oriental cuisine with weekly changing dishes. You can enjoy your meal in the courtyard right in the heart of Zurich. The service is friendly and open and the prices are reasonable. The restaurant was recommended to me by a friend and I will pass on the recommendation.

Mmmm it was very tasty! Flashy service too 🤝🤝😋😋 Good and relaxed vibe 🧘‍♂️✅

the food is excellent, freshly prepared. As well as the cozy atmosphere in the beautiful courtyard! Super friendly service, I can highly recommend the place!! 👍👍👍👍👍✨

Went here for my nephew's wedding apero. Sat out back in the courtyard. Very laid back. Staff was friendly and quick. They just kept bringing out plate after plate of different mezzo items. They had chosen a combo of veggies and meat. But only veggies I'd no problem. Walked away too full and happy. No idea what it cost. Turkish dishes very similar to the Lebanese food I ate last week.

Upon request, the rapeseed oil was replaced with olive oil - so our allergies were taken very seriously and our chosen dishes were prepared especially for us. Delicious! We feasted! Thank you again!

Food was good, but service very slow and portions small....we left hungry.

Wonderful downtown garden, friendly and very hospitable environment, delicious food. Payment is only possible to a “limited extent”. No Mastercard or V-Pay.

Wonderful courtyard, good atmosphere

Cozy atmosphere, authentic cuisine and extremely friendly service. Also ideal with children. HOLIDAY FEELING included. Highly recommended.

The service here was very friendly, attentive and helpful with recommendations on food choices. The food was very fine and varied. I enjoyed my stay in the garden of the restaurant and hope I have the opportunity to be here again another time

Very fine and refined cuisine and friendly service - we are very happy to be able to sit in the beautiful garden courtyard again!

Sympathisches Quartier-Restaurant mit guter, mediterran-orientalischer Küche. Abwechslungsreiche Wochenmenues. Im Sommer schattiger Garten.

(Traducido por Google) Decepcionante. Es un lugar tan agradable y luego terminas en McDonald's después de gastar más de 100 francos (para tres personas) en mezze demasiado caro, de tamaño insuficiente. El personal es grosero y lo contrario de lo que viene. No vayas alli (Original) Disappointing. Such a nice location and then you end up at McDonald's after spending more than a 100 francs (for three people) on overpriced, undersized and bland mezze. Staff is rude and the opposite of forthcoming. Don't go there.

(Traducido por Google) Gran servicio, ambiente agradable, comida super bien! (Original) Super Bedienung, freundliche Atmosphäre, mega feines Essen!

(Traducido por Google) Desafortunadamente, el restaurante no cumplió con nuestras expectativas. La comida tuvimos que esperar 1 hora (aunque el restaurante un martes por la noche no estaba muy ocupado). El pedido no fue registrado correctamente. Sin embargo, más tarde quisieron encender la comida que habían olvidado, aunque dijimos explícitamente que ya no era necesario. La sala tiene mesas muy estrechas muy cerca una de la otra y los platos también podrían reemplazarse nuevamente. Los platos que se podían comer, pero la calidad era más como un aperitivo. (Original) Leider entsprach das Restaurant nicht unseren Erwartungen. Auf das Essen mussten wir 1 Stunde warte (obwohl das Restaurant an einem Dienstag Abend nicht besonders voll war). Die Bestellung war nicht korrekt aufgenommen. Trotzdem wollten sie uns nachträglich die von ihnen vergessene Speise andrehen obwohl wir ausdrücklich sagten, dass es nicht mehr nötig wäre. Der Raum ist sehr beengend Tische sehr nah beieinander und Geschirr könnte auch mal wieder ausgewechselt werden. Die Gerichte konnte man essen jedoch war die Qualität eher einem Imbiss gleich.

(Traducido por Google) Mejor cocinero (Original) Beste köchin!

(Traducido por Google) Muy buena comida, ambiente agradable e informal, muy buenos anfitriones! (Original) Sehr gutes Essen, nette und ungezwungene Atmosphäre, sehr nette Gastgeber!

Kleines Lokal, einfach eingerichtet, sehr sauber, kein Orientkitsch an den Wänden. Der vielgerühmte Garten im Winter geschlossen. Wir hatten je zwei warme Mezze, dazu wurde feines warmes Brot serviert. Ganz besonders gefiel uns dabei der warme Pulpo, sehr zart und gut gewürzt. Aber auch die Köfte und die Falafel schmeckten sehr. Zum Abschluss ein ausgezeichneter Mohnkuchen mit dito türkischem Kaffee. Wir kommen wieder!

(Traducido por Google) No entiendo las buenas críticas aquí: con nuestros platos Mezze, las porciones eran muy pequeñas, el humus llanura malo (medio líquido), pan de anteayer, tomates secos y aceitunas asquerosas (¡no solo frescas!) ... Sólo el servicio fue bueno: amistoso! Entonces tant pis? no, no tant pis! (Original) Ich verstehe die guten Bewertungen hier gar nicht: Bei unseren Mezze Tellern, waren die Portionen sehr klein, der Humus schlicht schlecht (halb flüssig), Brot von vorgestern, widerlichen getrocknete Tomaten und Oliven (einfach nicht frisch!)... Einzig der Service war gut: freundlich! Also tant pis? nein, nicht tant pis!

Es gib viel verschiedene Hausgemachten Gerichten.Super,Gute Ambiance,Super Servis,Ich gehe mit Kolleginnen öfter und mit Meine Familien regelmäßig Essen

Visitar este lugar desde los 4 años porque no me sentía en amor en su 'Mantı '(Turco) también su "tortellini ezze' son los mejores de la ciudad. Un servicio agradable con buen ambiente.Recomendaría este lugar a cualquiera buscando buena comida en Zúrich

(Traducido por Google) Muy amable, cómodo, buena comida, central. (Original) Sehr freundlich, gemütlich, feines essen, zentral.
