“ One of the best, friendliest and cleanest Arabic restaurants in Cologne! The Shawrma is just original! Highly recommended :) ”
“ Positives: -food is very delicious -the place is clean and neat -prices are just right -nice and speedy service. Negatives: -place is a bit narrow, and looks small from out, but there is a pretty nice dining hall inside there. -the Menü is just in German!, there is no English or Arabic in it, and it's very weird translation from Syrian Arabic. and hard to read for me as an Arabic speaker, I mean why not in Arabic too!. It's obviously recommended, try the hack out these Syrian delicious dishes and enjoy every bite!. ”
