What a amazing and delicious restaurant! This is the perfect place for good food, and a good cocktail. With a very cute barman! And super kind and friendly and open hearted servers. Its the best experience you can have! I am for sure coming back again here when im back in the city!

Fine dining with good food, and helpful staff, therefore expensive :D

One sad point is that, I decided to go here just for the tagine, only to realize that they're not in the season ._.

So we both had the 3-course menu instead (36€/person with meat), including 5 dishes of appetizers (selected by the kitchen: Tabouleh, Salatat Batiech, Hummus, Falafel, Sambusek), 1 main dish (selected by us), 1 dessert (selected by the kitchen). As the starter they offer bread chips with yoghurt u0026 mint, black olives for free.
Particularly, we had Mashawi Mushakkal (mixed grill) u0026 Maqlubeh Bel Lahem Kharuf (Palestinian rice casserole with Lamb meat- very delicious, the meat is tender, rice is flavourful) as main courses.
As the dessert we had Madlouka, which was surprisingly not too sweet, which is my thing.

We had Farawla Caipirinha (10.5€) u0026 Za‘atar *something* (with vanilla u0026 thyme u0026 ginger) (8€) as drinks, which were also very tasty.

The thing I like the most about this, is that they offer a sustainable package for leftovers. As we asked for it, the waiter named 2 options, either reusable or disposable boxes. He explained further, that if we choose the reusable option, we wouldn't have to pay for anything, just download an app, scan a QR code and they'll give you a box to pack your leftovers, which you can return to them within 14 days, otherwise you'll have to pay 10€/box. If we choose the disposable box instead, it'll cost 1€/box. REALLY COOL IDEAS!

I was in Cologne for work and this restaurant was just down the road from my Airbnb.
It was beautifully decorated and was busy every time we walked by so decided to eat here on our last night.
The food was LOVELY! My German is non existent so the wonderful server talked us through the menu and highlighted the vegan options for me - of which there were a lot!
I had the houmous, Baba ganoush and tabbouleh salad with a fresh mint. It was served with flat bread and the entire time I was eating I was doing my happy dance.
I highly recommend this place to anybody staying near Barbarosaplatz!

Went for dinner with 3 friends, sat outside the front. Service was ok, could have done with my beer topping up. Our main waiter was good, made a very good recommendation for my main dish, The mixed grill. It was very good. The different meats were cooked to perfection. Could have done with more grilled vegetables... Everyone else’s dishes were very good too. Would visit again! Should have taken more pictures!
