Merhaba - Lübeck

Today, I finally want to redeem my promise to NoTeaForMe and report on the Merhaba, in which we fed on our trip to the Baltic Sea in October in the evening. We were both quite curious about this Turkish restaurant located opposite our Hotel Motel One. The owner warmly welcomed us, led us to our reserved table and brought us the menu. And as always we ordered our normal drinks: a soft wheat (4.50 € and a 0.25 l of water (3.00 €). Meanwhile we studied the menu that shows a rich and varied offer. The boss came back to our table with the drinks. She saw our undecided facial expression and gave us information on various dishes that we asked, among other things, about the sharpness of the curry sauce in chicken-scattered and daily vegetables. While she went back to the kitchen to get us something to try as a greeting from her husband in the kitchen, we made our decision:No Appetizer, because we had seen the quantities on the plates that went to the neighboring tables. For my girlfriend, who is a lamb fan, the kuzu sote, lambskinted with daily vegetables in herbal tomato sauce and Bulgur for 17,50 € and for me the Tavuk sote (14,90 € , chickenskin with daily vegetables in curry sauce and Bulgur. The boss came back with the greeting of her husband and accepted our order. The baguette slices were slightly warm, tasteful but painless. Dips Cacik and Ezme The first dip, a Cac?k, a preparation of yogurt, cucumbers and garlic (comparable with Tzatziki, was light, loose, seasoned with salt, pepper and olive oil and really good in taste. The second dip had it in itself: Ezme, a fiery-sharp fruity vegetable salsa of tomatoes, paprika and chili as the main ingredients that was really fiery-sharf. I couldn't eat much of it, she was too hot for me. The main courts didn't wait long. Both dishes hot and steaming, both dishes with Bulgur and daily vegetables as supplements. The durum wheat grains well cooked, nicely loose and very absorbent for the respective sauce. The daily vegetables rich and versatile with zucchini, paprika, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, carrots, and all this also slightly crisp. My friend was very fond of lamb, both of the quality of meat and preparation. Tastes really good after lamb, very delicate! Gels! That's her statement! Tomato sauce spicy, well tasted. The combination with Bulgaria loved her very much. Chickens in Curry sauce That's what happened to the curry sauce. My fear that she was too sharp for me, did not notice, on the instruction of his wife the cook had held back with the normally used curry, and so a curry dish that can be eaten well for me.The chicken meat juicy, the vegetables with bite as with the other dish. We were very happy. The boss and also her son repeatedly questioned our well-being, acted very customer-oriented and always gave us the feeling of being welcome. We felt very comfortable here. At the end there was a tea on the house. Recommendation! And that's very happy!

Beside many meat dishes they offer a broad range of veggie dishes. This place is definitely worth a visit.

We were visiting Lueneburg and found “Merhaba” using Google maps. After walking into the empty place (on a weekday, early afternoon), I tried starting a friendly conversation with the man wearing the black-rimmed glasses behind the counter. The conversation went something like this: Me: “Lots...of great options! What’s the difference between the “standard Doner Kebap” and the “Vegetable Doener Kebap with meat”? Answer from the man with glasses: “What it says on the sign”. WTF? I can read, thank you very much. Zero points in the customer service department for you, my friend.

Great sarma and wonderful red wine, just what I needed in a cold evening...and it was just next to my hotel (Motel One). Cosy atmosphere, friendly service.Thank you!
