Restaurant in Stuttgart, Germany
Olgastraße Turkish Table
Alaturka is a neighbourhood Turkish restaurant on Olgastraße in Stuttgart's Olgaeck district, serving the local community rather than a tourist circuit. Booking is easy and walk-ins are likely manageable. Without published awards or a website, it's a practical choice for a casual, locally rooted meal rather than a destination dinner.
Alaturka sits on Olgastraße 75 in Stuttgart's Olgaeck district, a residential-commercial stretch that draws locals more than tourists. Without published pricing, awards, or a listed website, this is the kind of neighbourhood place where the regulars already know what they're ordering and first-timers have to trust the room. If you're looking for a Turkish restaurant in central Stuttgart where the crowd is local rather than destination-seeking, Alaturka is worth a visit on those terms.
Walk in without expectations shaped by a Michelin star or a press campaign, because there are none on record. Turkish cuisine in this price tier typically means grilled meats, mezze spreads, flatbreads, and slow-cooked dishes built on lamb, aubergine, and legumes. Flavour profiles lean savoury and herb-forward, with warmth from paprika and cumin rather than heat. If that's the kind of food you're after on Olgastraße, Alaturka gives you a neighbourhood-anchored version of it rather than a polished tourist-facing one. For a first visit, arrive with an open mind on the menu — without a listed website or published dishes, you'll be working from what's on the board or what the staff recommend.
Booking difficulty is rated easy, which in practice means you are unlikely to need a reservation days in advance. Walk-ins should be manageable, particularly outside peak dinner hours on Friday and Saturday. If you're planning a specific evening, calling ahead is sensible even without a published phone number — the address on Olgastraße is enough to find a local contact through standard search. Logistics are direct: the Olgaeck area is well connected by Stuttgart's S-Bahn and U-Bahn network, and the street itself is walkable from the city centre.
Olgastraße sits south of Stuttgart's main retail core, in a district that mixes residential flats, independent restaurants, and small businesses. A Turkish restaurant here is serving a community, not a tourist circuit. That's an important distinction when you're deciding whether to book: if you want a designed dining experience with a wine list and a tasting menu, Alaturka is almost certainly not that. If you want a practical, locally rooted meal in a part of Stuttgart that doesn't perform for visitors, it's a more sensible choice than somewhere closer to Königstraße. For context on what else Stuttgart's restaurant scene covers, see our full Stuttgart restaurants guide, and if you're pairing the trip with a hotel stay, our Stuttgart hotels guide covers the main options.
Against Stuttgart's higher-end dining options, Alaturka is operating in a different category entirely. Speisemeisterei and 5 are both €€€€ venues with serious kitchens and booking difficulty to match. Der Zauberlehrling and Wielandshöhe sit at €€€ and offer more considered cooking with established track records. None of these are the right comparison for Alaturka , they're in a different tier of ambition and price.
The more useful question is what Alaturka offers that its fine-dining peers don't: a low-pressure, neighbourhood-facing meal without a reservation lead time, dress expectations, or a bill that requires planning. If your evening in Stuttgart calls for something casual and locally embedded rather than a destination dinner, Alaturka fits that brief in a way that Hegel Eins or Délice do not. For high-end Turkish or wider German regional cooking outside Stuttgart, Schwarzwaldstube in Baiersbronn represents the benchmark for the wider region.
Address: Olgastraße 75, 70182 Stuttgart. Booking difficulty: easy. No published website or phone number is listed in our current data, so check Google Maps or local directories for current hours before visiting. For bars and other experiences in the same part of the city, see our Stuttgart bars guide and our Stuttgart experiences guide.
No capacity data is published, but neighbourhood Turkish restaurants in this category typically have flexible table arrangements for small groups of four to six. For larger parties, call ahead once you have a contact number confirmed through local search. If you need a venue with confirmed private dining in Stuttgart, Der Zauberlehrling is a better-documented option.
Bar seating is not confirmed in our data. Turkish restaurants in Stuttgart at this level tend to be table-service focused rather than bar-oriented. If bar dining is a priority for your evening, the city's dedicated bar scene is covered in our Stuttgart bars guide.
Probably not as the headline venue. No awards or formal recognition are on record, and the neighbourhood setting on Olgastraße positions this as an everyday restaurant rather than a celebration destination. For a special occasion in Stuttgart, Speisemeisterei or 5 carry the credentials to match the occasion. Alaturka works better as a pre- or post-event stop than as the main event.
No dress code is listed. A neighbourhood Turkish restaurant on Olgastraße will almost certainly be casual , smart casual is more than sufficient, and there's no reason to dress up. Save the effort for somewhere like Hupperts where the room and price point warrant it.
For casual dining with more documentation behind it, Der Zauberlehrling at €€€ gives you creative cooking with a track record. If you want to step up significantly, Wielandshöhe covers classic French at €€€.

No menu data is published, so this cannot be confirmed from our records. Turkish cuisine naturally includes a range of vegetable-forward mezze and dishes that work for non-meat eaters, but for anything specific , halal requirements, allergen queries, or vegan requests , contact the venue directly before booking. Check current contact details through Google Maps or local directories.
