It's a fantastic street in anycase, but this place is a good start. Great signage, posters and stickers inside. Cologne very much reminds of Berlin and this Falafel place has a aurora of hipster about it. I shared a Falafel and Shawarma plate ( better if sitting down I think). Good portions. Think I preferred the Falafel over the Shawarma which wasn't piping hot or spicy actually. Had yogurt drink with it from the fridge but you probably don't need it as each dish comes with yogurt anyway. It's cheap though and a popular place so worth checking out. Friendly staff and good food it's must to check out food wise in Cologne.

Disappointed looking for an alternative to Habibi's falafel…read more.. Unfortunately, the falafel was precooked and heated up with the micro wave. Portions size was above average though.

The fresh and varied hummus's, falafel, and kabobs appealed to our finicky children and provided a wonderful base for the full flavored wine. The service was great and the staff friendly- they brought art supplies to the kids and, late in the evening, a memory card game to occupy them as they'd become a bit restless. (One highlight was the silly pics I snapped of the kids with a gigantic hookah in the basement near the WC! ;) P.S. Also, a big thank you to Marita, our friend who lives just up the Straße from this memorable restaurant!
