Braunschweig's New Vegan Sensation: Komagene's Çiğ Köfte

Braunschweig's culinary scene has welcomed a new vegan fast-food restaurant, Komagene, specializing in the Turkish dish Çiğ Köfte. Customers have been flocking to the city center eatery since its opening two weeks ago, drawn by the unique flavors and positive word-of-mouth.

Komagene, co-founded by 45-year-old Emre Mandal, offers a variety of Çiğ Köfte dishes, from classic spicy bulgur rolls to exotic variations. The restaurant also serves traditional Turkish dishes like stuffed eggplant, Şakṣuka, and pickled vegetables, along with desserts. Mandal, who brought Anatolian cuisine to Braunschweig, aims to make Komagene the go-to place for Çiğ Köfte in the city, suitable for various occasions.

The restaurant's grand opening saw an offer of all dishes for 1 Euro, attracting many customers, including a food blogger on TikTok. Since then, demand has remained high, with long lines even at non-traditional times like noon. Customers praise the taste and uniqueness of Komagene's offerings, with Turkish customers expressing nostalgia for the flavors they grew up with.

Komagene, with its diverse menu of Çiğ Köfte and other Turkish dishes, has quickly become a popular spot in Braunschweig. The restaurant's success is a testament to Emre Mandal's vision and the city's appetite for unique, vegan fast-food options.
