Cologne Airport: Lukas Podolski opens kebab restaurant

Mangal Döner and soccer player Lukas Podolski have opened a 160 square meter restaurant at Cologne/Bonn Airport that focuses on Turkish specialties.

“In the EM year and before the change to our summer flight schedule, which again includes many good connections to popular and new flight destinations in Turkey, we are particularly looking forward to this addition to the gastronomic offering at the location,” says Thilo Schmid, chairman of the Management of Cologne/Bonn Airport GmbH. “Turkey is one of the most popular travel destinations for our passengers and Lukas Podolski is a popular ambassador for sport and our region. The combination of Turkish cuisine, passion for sport and love of travel fits our airport perfectly.”

“It is a great pleasure and an honor for me to be represented with another 'Mangal Döner X Lukas Podolski' store at the airport in my hometown of Cologne, which is precisely why it is important to me to be personally present at the opening event,” said Lukas Podolski at the airport today. “As a proud Cologne resident and lover of Turkish cuisine, my goal, with my partner Metin Dag, is to create a first-class gastronomic experience that will delight people at the airport. I am confident that this unique concept will instantly capture the hearts and taste buds of travelers.”
