We started with an appetizer plate which had a mix of German and Asian selections; medium rare beef strips, turkey medallions, pot stickers and shrimp accompanied with a garlic yogurt and spicy sweet and sour dipping sauces. Solid but not outstanding, the asian choices were unexpected. I had the Saltimbocca pork cutlet with potatoes and a side salad. The cutlet was wrapped with prosciutto and a little dry, but bacon makes everything great! Again solid but not outstanding. My host had the roasted lamb shank, and it looked like a better choice. I'd have that the next time, but a little pricey. Overall an ok place to have dinner.

Pointing at the menu, with its English translations, may help. Interior design suggests a more upscale, dine-in restaurant with wait service. Instead, the hostess provides diners with a RFID card. When you order food from each station (maze and salads, pide or Turkish pizza, grill, and beyti or rolled, not flat Turkish quesadilla), and a separate drinks station, charge the amount to the card, get a pager, and pay the balance before your leave. The pager will notify you when to pick up your order. Note: after ordering, I discourage you from standing around and waiting. During my visit, neither of the two chefs were good at multi-tasking... and they'd prefer you not watch or supervise them. I ordered the imam bayildi; "fainted cleric" is the literal translation, but it's stuffed eggplant. A significant amount of olive oil is used in its preparation; lore says that when the cleric's wife tells her husband the amount, he faints. The dish is served with pilaf and a large wedge of bread, and very filling for the affordable price. I wanted to order beyti, but no chef was at the station... The grill chef's body language implied that the station was closed. In hindsight, I'm thankful I couldn't order the beyti. Portions are big. My colleague gave us the remainder of her pide. Groups will find plenty of tables, but the time to serve can be improved. If you're hungry and the restaurant is busy, the wait time isn't attractive.

Tasty, modern Turkish/Kurdish food in a beautiful environment…read more Concept: Identical to Vapiano. When you enter, you're given a card to charge and pay the balance at the end. The menu is organized by stations - salads, pide, grill, etc. Each station scans your card and gives you a buzzer that tells you when your food is ready for pick up. It's literally the exact same as Vapiano to the point where I don't understand how it's allowed! Food: First, I tried the mercimek corbasi, a lentil soup with herbs & spices and Turkish bread. This was completely delish, served piping hot and tasted freshly blended. Next, I went for the sucuk manti = Turkish cheese ravioli and chopped garlic sausage, grilled cherry tomatoes and arugula. I've never seen this item at other Turkish restaurants so it was cool to try, but I wouldn't order again because it's pretty similar to regular ravioli. Last, I had the shrimp spinach pide, so yum! The bread was chewy, toasty & seasoned, the spinach fresh, the shrimp nicely grilled & browned. At the end I was stuffed and the price came out to 20 Euros. Great value for the amount & quality of food, and definitely enough for two people to split. Service: At 5 p.m. on a Sunday, not many people were there, so the staff was super attentive & friendly. We got lots of greetings, offers for help, etc. Besides that, they have DIY spices at every station (dried herbs, garlic oil, fresh chilis, etc.) to amp up your dishes. Atmosphere: Beautiful old building (used to be a club) with classy yet modern decor. The space is huge and airy, with plenty of seating options (long tables, balcony/lofts, sofas). I left totally satisfied and can't find flaws in the food or execution. Definitely will be back to try more of the menu!

Went here for breakfast on Sunday but arrived to late and so only lunch was available…read more Very close to the Rathaus and the Dom and so this is a good place to take a break and have breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They have a very very nice outside patio and that's where we sat (they have blankets on the chairs in case you get cold). I ordered a salad with prosciutto. The salad was good and came with a loaf of freshly baked bread. You can order a medium or big salad - the big salad is big enough to share (at least I think so). The food is good and the patio very nice. If it was a warm day I would definitely come back. I don't speak German but didn't have any problems communicating with the waitresses.

There are lots of restaurants in Aachen where you can eat outside, but I like this place because the outside area is in the back and so a little more private and quiet. They serve a fairly large selection of items and everything looked good. I tried a salad (Salad Provenciale) and the people I was with tried the Schnitzel and an eggplant dish. Everything was good and the prices were reasonable. If the weather is nice and you can sit outside I think that this is a great place to go. I'll definitely come back to try the pizza or a pasta dish.

Just about 2 minutes away from the Dom, this place is strategically located after a nice day of walking around and discovering Aachen. Their grill master knows what he's doing. My favorite dish is a king prawns dish with rosemary butter and fingerling potatoes, all cooked on the grill. Even their chicken sheesh dish is grilled to perfection with a wonderful balance of flavors, thanks to their traditional grilling methods. Each entrée comes with a tatziki sauce and a red pepper-based sauce. Their dolmas (stuffed grape leaves) are pure perfection, exactly what an authentic dolma should taste like. And their services are top notch, a rarity in most of Europe. Great food in a beautiful picturesque city, what more could you want?

I go to Aachen once a year and stay for four days. For the past six years I have made sure that…read moreone dinner was taken at Am Knipp. This is one of the last of a vanishing breed in Aachen, the neighborhood tavern that serves good and plentiful food. It is family run with one brother in the kitchen overseeing things and the other dispensing beer and other drinks at the bar like an octopus juggling clams. On the weekends the place is carefully organized chaos with locals three deep at the bar either drinking as an end goal or drinking while waiting for a table. In fact, on a recent Friday night I watched the restaurant equivalent of the old circus clown car, but in this case the patrons kept coming in and when you thought the place would be completely clogged with humanity another group of six hearty lads with a thirst would squeeze themselves through the door and into the scrum at the bar--a wonder to behold. The beer is fresh and the place is the very definition of "Gemütlichkeit", welcoming, cozy and high spirited. The interior of this old building is suggestive of everything historically German. Now as to the food, it is typical of the region, schnitzels, chicken, calf's liver, flammkuchen, steaks, etc. I normally get the schnitzel and they have both a version with cream and mushroom sauce and a creamed pepper sauce. Both are excellent and with the large mixed salad (really great) and the roasted potatoes, you need nothing else to keep you happy. With a glass of wine this came, on a recent visit, to around €23 all in and well worth it. Now, attention class and listen carefully, it is absolutely necessary to book a table at this extremely popular place. Those who don't, all visitors to Aachen (the locals know better) will leave very disappointed because they will be told by the hard working but frenetic waitstaff that they are full and that's it. It will no doubt seem abrupt but there is no time for explanations or being open to persuasion by the most charming tourist. If you follow this advice you will be rewarded by a very rich culinary and socially unique experience.
