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.

There isn't a bad dish in this place but I strongly recommend trying their lamb dishes and making sure you ask for an assortment of dips. The real joy or Arabesque are the many little side dishes served with pita to enjoy with or as your meal. Hummus, tabbouleh, baba ganoush, pickled vegetables, and on and on. There is no end to these sides! (Honestly, I've been here 3 times and I still haven't seen them all). If there are dishes you know you want, it's fine for everyone to order an entree for themselves, but truly the best arabesque experience you can have is to order everything family style. This can mean ordering several dishes and sharing them, or it can mean actually ordering the mixed menu where you simply pay by the head and the chef provides an assortment of food for your table. If this is your first visit, I highly recommend the latter. Just tell your server you want a faimly style meal for however many people you have with the dips/sides and they will bring you a platter of mixed, grilled, seasoned meal with potatoes and vegetables and an assortment of sides and I promise you will be in heaven with each bite. So, why only 4 stars? I had to take one of for the service which can vary wildly from visit to visit. Strangely, if you are there when it is busy, the service is very attentive. But if you are there when it is slow, and god help you if you are seated in a corner, you may actually need to go find a waiter for drink refills or more bread. It's not a big deal, but can be annoying when you want to keep enjoying your delicious meal but your beer and water has gone dry. Regardless, don't let that stop you from checking this place out. It is absolutely a top 5 restaurant in Essen and if you are there, you owe it to yourself to give it a try!

I was walking around Düsseldorf with two friends and we were so exhausted by walking all day and…read morethe blazing sun, this was the perfect reprieve. The food is so refreshing, so great for eating on a hot day. I was also amazed by the price of the food, it is so cheap for such large portions. I ate my meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner again the next day in a wrap. I actually got the appetizer platter instead of a meal but I can't imagine eating anything after that it was so filling! They also gave us complimentary tea and baklava, and before the meal some bread with dip, it was absolutely amazing. I would (and will) definitely come here again.

The most delicious Lebanese food in the city. It's reputation is well deserved!…read more We were a group of six and so, had the opportunity to order a lot and try everything. Best decision. It was yummy, it was fresh and it's not all that expensive. My favourite picks from last night: Jallab (a rose water drink with nuts), tabbouleh salad (tomatoes, lime and liberal mix of mint and parsley), mixed grill meat, baba ghanoush (it's a lot like hummus but made with egg plant), and kibbe (fried meat balls). All of this with a fresh yummy bread with it!

We had the Labneh Bil Thoum, Batata Harra, Halloumi Kase, Baba Ghannousch, and Sambusil Bil Lahmeh. Also included was warm flatbread for the dipping. The flavors really popped with each dish and I would say you don't need to order a salad because there is plenty as a garnish (see photos below)! I would say it compares to some of the best we had in Beirut in 2022!

The restaurant is highly decorated with Middle East affairs and lovely setting. We had mix of starter which are all very lively... Hummus, tabbouleh, palmito, kibbeh, etc.., all the classics and all were great. For main, we all had grilled dishes which were all good size, I.e. Not too big, and good grilling... Meat was tender and juicy. The only thing is that I found meat extremely salty... I could not eat half of my dishes and drank 2 bottles of water but all other people whom I was with finished the plate and all very happy so you may not realise it.,, Overall great option in middle of downtown!

The interior is wonderful, it reminds you of some Moroccan riad The food is excellent the appetizer plate for around 10Eur is a whole lot we were 4 people and it was enough and very tasty. The meat and the items from the grill are tender, juicy and they use some kind of special spices which makes you constantly guessing how come they are so excellent The owner is very friendly, hospitality to the core is present, so If somebody wants to have a nice evening and try a dinner a bit different from the usual European tastes, give the place a chance and it will be worth it. As far as I am concerned I think this will be a regular for us

Here is what I wrote a couple years ago: Doesn't really matter if it is Persian or Iranian, the food is on the edge. Even thought the veggies appear to be fresh the meat tastes, if at all, quite old. Fries are definitely not part of the restaurant's special cuisine. The other extras are of medium quality, some are worse. Even the ketchup is of poor quality. If this is your first encounter with Persian/Iranian cuisine don't be too disappointed. If you find the right place Persian/Iranian food can be quite tasty.
