Grill at the Table

The Ocakbasi Hemshof brings Turkish grill cuisine to the table in its most original form: over an open charcoal grill, often right in front of the guests. Lamb skewers, köfte and grilled meat arrive at the table hot and full of aroma. Alongside, the house serves a selection of mezze starters and fresh flatbread that rounds off the grilled dishes.

A Sociable Atmosphere

The atmosphere is warm and sociable, geared entirely towards eating together in larger groups. The concept of a grill at the table turns the visit into an experience and invites you to linger. As an authentic insider tip, the place draws both connoisseurs of Turkish cuisine and curious guests from across the city.

Location & Reservation

The Ocakbasi lies in the city's colourful north, in the heart of the Hemshof, the multicultural heart of Ludwigshafen. It opens only in the evening, which suits the character of a grill house where you take your time. Since the seats by the grill are coveted and the house fills up after dark, a reservation is advisable, especially for larger groups.

Mon–Sun 5pm–12am Reservation recommended
