We tried the lamb chops and shish tawook, the overall flavor was just average. The tabbouleh had too much liquid, which affected the texture. On the positive side, the spicy potatoes were very delicious and full of flavor. The hummus tasted okay, but nothing special. Overall, the experience was mixed.
This place was truly spectacular. Service was excellent and food surpassed every expectation. I had the Lebanese chicken soup and hummus both were delicious. The soup was a lemony flavored broth with fideo and chicken, it looked so simple but at first spoonful it was an explosion of flavor. Their house tea was better than any tea I’ve ever had, Cardamom cinnamon mint and herbs are hard to forget.
I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. We ordered fries and rice, and both the quality and service were well below expectations—especially considering how expensive everything was. The portion of fries was surprisingly small for the price, and to make it worse, they were served completely dry without any sauce or dip. They were difficult to enjoy. On top of that, we were only given one spoon for two people, which shows a lack of attention to even the most basic dining etiquette. Overall, the food was overpriced, the service felt careless, and it didn’t seem like they understood even the basics of good hospitality. Definitely not a place I’d recommend.
"An exceptional dining experience from start to finish! The food was incredibly authentic, bursting with flavor, and the service was outstanding. Despite not having a reservation, the staff graciously squeezed us in, making us feel welcome and valued. To top it off, we were treated to refreshing mint tea as a perfect end to our meal. I highly recommend this hidden gem for anyone in Cologne seeking not only fantastic food but also top-notch service. Truly a memorable experience!"
If you're Lebanese or looking to experience authentic Lebanese food, well, it is not quite that. The food in general is ok. Just OK. The chicken Shawarma had too much cinnamon. While I understand why, the taste of cinnamon is overpowering. The grilled Taouk was good and the garlic paste is good enough to go with it. It's not the case though for either the grilled meat, Kafta or the Soujouk which tasted nothing like it, and the sauce that was on it is very weird. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the music was a nice touch. The place was generally clean, even though a bit untidy and crowded with stuff (boxes, furniture,...) If you really miss the food or want a good option, go for the Taouk.
