Kornhauskeller is an extremely misleading name for a Lebanese/Syrian restaurant. Then again, they…read morehave a Wiener Schnitzel special on Thursdays, which isn't something you'd expect from your typical Lebanese restaurant. Confused identity aside, food and service are on point here. I usually go for their falafel plate with salad. The ingredients are fresh, the salad isn't just a few leaves of lettuce, the combination of dressing and harissa pairs really well with everything, and there is a good balance between salad and falafel. Service is efficient and attentive, sometimes to the point of lacking warmth, especially with the head waiter (and maybe owner?). That said, they handle large groups really well for such a small space. We had a group lunch with 11 recently and were comfortably seated inside. I don't think they'd be able to accommodate a much larger group than that, though. They also have outdoor seating when the weather warms up. For clarification regarding the two signs out front, Palmyra is the catering business (and also a much better name for a Lebanese restaurant).

Is this place called Kornhauskeller or Palmyra? It certainly used to be the former, but maybe it's…read morenow the latter? It has both signs, the older German-language reviews say that this place is German, but half of the current (new) signage says it's Syrian. Anyway, whatever, this place is great. The lunch menu is quite narrow - a choice between meat and fish dishes, but the cooking is absolutely top-notch. When you enter, immediately you'll notice the rather well thought out decor. Nice little square tables, lots of photos, nicely framed, warm colours. Then you'll notice that everyone's food looks great. If you have a party just over 4 in size (we had 5) then you'll probably get to see one of these little tables get expanded into a table for 6. Maybe they even expand up to 8? Either way it's a fun little feature and shows the quality of the furniture. The food itself is really good. I had steak, mixed veg, cous cous and a spicy tomato sauce - all perfectly cooked and presented, and the total cost was EUR7.20. I'll definitely be back.

The service was lovely, especially in regards to keeping wine glasses full, explaining the menu (going the extra kilometer to explain in english the specials), providing quick translations and overall just being very pleasant and excited about the experience. My lamb with veggies in a mint/thyme sauce was elegantly plated and the taste surely matched the looks. A medium portion, just enough to fill up but not be overly full. The cinnamon rice I snagged from across the table was also quite a treat...savory sweet. We had a range of appetizers, the standouts being the falafel and the red beet paste. The dipping sauces for the bread were a bit bland, and the other starters quite small (more like tapas, but smaller) so a bit hard to split amongst the group easily. A lovely dinner for our group of 7. Half German, half American. All happy. *reservations suggested. *cash or German EC only. Total: 200 euros with tip. Not bad at all for the quality and panache of the evening.

Delicious Middle Eastern food, great location, and good service, too…read more We came here for lunch after our Hamburg friend recommended their cuisine. The location was perfect -- outdoor tables with umbrellas, overlooking a canal. We lazily watched the swans and ducks as we enjoyed our food. Although they didn't have a menu in English, we were able to point to what we wanted and and ended up with a delicious meal. The "sampler" appetizer tray was great and the ingredients very fresh (eggplant, cauliflower, carrots, spinach with pomegranate seeds, hummus, etc.) Homemade pita bread too. The shrimp and the rice pilaf were delicious as well. My wife had the lamb -- and she said it was the best lamb she had ever tasted. Prices were reasonable (for Germany, that is!) Thanks for a great meal.
