Centro Oberhausen’s “Big Chefs” restaurant serves Turkish cuisine to its guests. However, you can’t book there – but why?

Oberhausen – With around 250 stores, Centro Oberhausen is one of the largest shopping centers in Europe. But there has been a lot of movement in the composition of shops in the past few weeks and months. Several new stores from a variety of sectors have been added to the shopping centre. For example, the beauty shop “Jofilin” and the outdoor store “Camel Active” have opened, and: a branch of the “Big Chefs” restaurant chain. What one or the other has definitely noticed: you can’t book a table there – for a specific reason.

Managing Director of “Big Chefs” at Centro Oberhausen: “We don’t want to disappoint regular customers”

According to her own information, Centro Oberhausen receives about 15 million visitors annually. Perhaps the decision not to accept any further reservations has something to do with the choice of location in the popular shopping centre: “Especially on weekends, there are long lines in front of the door. Kan Kargen, managing director of the “Big Chefs” branch in Oberhausen, said in an interview with wa.de. “We don’t want to disappoint them and send them away because the tables are already booked.”

And: the rush may increase again in the coming weeks and months, because: in the future, Centro Oberhausen wants to focus more on events and festivals – for example with the BBQ Festival Sizzle, a music competition or the “90s Live” concert. The planned amusement park Karls Erlebnis-Dorf in Neue Mitte Oberhausen could also guarantee a larger number of customers and thus more customers for the “Big Chefs”.

“Everyone in Turkey knows great chefs, but we are new to Germany,” Kargin says. But it didn’t take long to get used to it in NRW: “We now also feel at home in Oberhausen,” the operators wrote on Instagram. In the coming years, the company would like to expand further in Germany.

Big Chefs says it serves Levantine and international cuisine – with a Turkish influence. “We want to serve fresh Turkish food. They are traditional dishes, but they are also interpreted in a modern way,” says Kargin. The menu includes many appetizers and appetizers typical of the Middle East and a variety of grilled dishes, which you can enjoy in the lounge-style restaurant.

The unrest in Centro Oberhausen will continue in the coming weeks and months. Among other things, a branch of the famous American shoe manufacturer Crocs will soon open. A few days ago, Intersport Voswinkel also moved inside the center – with a new store concept. The big wellness and beauty center in Centro Oberhausen should bring in more new openings. (mg)
