    Fantastic food. Everything we ordered was delicious. Mansaf had a twist of mint, the maaloubeh with eggplant and lamb was exquisite. Everything was beautifully decorated. The meat in all the dishes was tender especially the mixed grill. The owner kept checking if we needed anything and explained how they selectively get their lamb, chicken and veal meat from high quality sources. This explains the light coulur of the meat, the tenderness and the juiciness. It was worth the high price that we paod. The only unusal (well for me) was that they charged 1 euro for each doggy bag we asked for as we couldn't finish some of the plates due to generous amount of food. This restaurant is a must if you enjoy high quality meat, well presented Middle Eastern food. Closed on Sundays and Mondays Opens at 5pm

    (Translated by Google) I have never been so disappointed with the food, the food was not properly grilled and tasted disgusting. I like to pay a lot of money when the food tastes good, but it was really terrible. And to make matters worse, there was a hair in my dessert. I don't know why this restaurant has 4 stars, but I give it -5 Voor al mijn lieve nederlanders ga alsjeblieft bij mangal eten genuinely een aanrader, the restaurant is in all opzichten verschrikkelijk (Original) Ich war noch nie so enttäuscht vom Essen, das Essen wurde nicht richtig gegrillt und schmeckte ekelhaft . Ich zahle gerne viel Geld, wenn das Essen gut schmeckt, aber es war wirklich schrecklich . Und um es noch schlimmer zu machen, war ein Haar in meinem Dessert. Ich weiß nicht, warum dieses Restaurant 4 Sterne hat, aber ich gebe ihm -5 Voor al mijn lieve nederlanders ga alsjeblieft bij mangal eten echt een aanrader , dit restaurant is in alle opzichten verschrikkelijk

    (Translated by Google) Frankly, I eat not very sweet, but people who work it are tasteful and respectful, but the service is very bad .. I regret that I came to a restaurant, but it is famous by name, because I am asking for forgiveness from God the Great, it is not good pure (Original) صراحة اكل مش حلوة خالص بس الناس اللي شغاله ذوق و محترمين لكن الخدمة سيئه للغاية.. وانا اسف إني جت علي مطعم بس شهرة بالاسم لأكن طعم استغفر الله العظيم مش كويس خالص

    Amazing service - we went to the restaurant without a reservation. The guys opened the second floor extra for us. The weither took his time tell us about the food and the vine in great detail. And the food was very tasty. It‘s not the cheapest restaurant, but it‘s definitely worth going there!

    Went for dinner with 3 friends, sat outside the front. Service was ok, could have done with my beer topping up. Our main waiter was good, made a very good recommendation for my main dish, The mixed grill. It was very good. The different meats were cooked to perfection. Could have done with more grilled vegetables... Everyone else’s dishes were very good too. Would visit again! Should have taken more pictures!

    I was in Cologne for work and this restaurant was just down the road from my Airbnb. It was beautifully decorated and was busy every time we walked by so decided to eat here on our last night. The food was LOVELY! My German is non existent so the wonderful server talked us through the menu and highlighted the vegan options for me - of which there were a lot! I had the houmous, Baba ganoush and tabbouleh salad with a fresh mint. It was served with flat bread and the entire time I was eating I was doing my happy dance. I highly recommend this place to anybody staying near Barbarosaplatz!

    Fine dining with good food, and helpful staff, therefore expensive :D One sad point is that, I decided to go here just for the tagine, only to realize that they're not in the season ._. So we both had the 3-course menu instead (36€/person with meat), including 5 dishes of appetizers (selected by the kitchen: Tabouleh, Salatat Batiech, Hummus, Falafel, Sambusek), 1 main dish (selected by us), 1 dessert (selected by the kitchen). As the starter they offer bread chips with yoghurt & mint, black olives for free. Particularly, we had Mashawi Mushakkal (mixed grill) & Maqlubeh Bel Lahem Kharuf (Palestinian rice casserole with Lamb meat- very delicious, the meat is tender, rice is flavourful) as main courses. As the dessert we had Madlouka, which was surprisingly not too sweet, which is my thing. We had Farawla Caipirinha (10.5€) & Za‘atar *something* (with vanilla & thyme & ginger) (8€) as drinks, which were also very tasty. The thing I like the most about this, is that they offer a sustainable package for leftovers. As we asked for it, the waiter named 2 options, either reusable or disposable boxes. He explained further, that if we choose the reusable option, we wouldn't have to pay for anything, just download an app, scan a QR code and they'll give you a box to pack your leftovers, which you can return to them within 14 days, otherwise you'll have to pay 10€/box. If we choose the disposable box instead, it'll cost 1€/box. REALLY COOL IDEAS!

    I love the hummus with pomegranate very much!! The best hummus I have had so far in Cologne. The Falafel was also great. Crispy outside but soft and delicate texture inside. However, the both main dishes were not really suitable for me. I expected them to have more and stronger flavor. But, both then were still nice. The most remarkable for me was the staffs were very friendly and helpful. The vibe of the restaurant was excellent. Overall, I had a very nice evening there.

    We eat here about once a month. Usually, I visit this place with business partners and great friends. No matter whether you are vegetarian or a meat eater, the diversity and quality of food will amaze you. In addition, you will love the cocktails and mocktails. Really well done and very unique. You won’t be disappointed…

  • 5/5 Astrid R. 5 years ago on Google
    It was my first visit and I thoroughly enjoyed it. From the recommendations what to drink, a fine support for starters and main course and an awesome after dinner cocktail. It is well worth the money, while not being overpriced and the quality is very high - from service to food to drinks. The noise level however can be disturbing but that probably is the price you pay in a popular place.

    (Translated by Google) The ambience and location were very nice, you felt comfortable. But the price / performance ratio cannot be combined. The salad was still okay, but the main courses weren't really convincing. There was no taste or quality. Carelessly arranged, the ingredients and side dishes that you had read on the menu; weren't really there and it tasted bland. (Original) Ambiente und Location sehr schön, man hat sich wohl gefühlt. Aber der Preis/Leistungsverhältnis ist nicht kombinierbar. Der Salat war noch ganz ok aber die Hauptspeisen haben wirklich nicht überzeugt. Geschmack und Qualität waren nicht vorhanden. Lieblos angerichtet, die Zutaten und Beilagen die man auf der Karte gelesen hatte; waren nicht wirklich vorhanden und es hat fade geschmeckt.

    (Translated by Google) The Al Salam is an excellent restaurant! The service staff is very friendly and courteous. The selection of dishes is varied and the food itself, as well as the drinks, taste really good and are definitely worth the money. The restaurant has a very nice ambience and I felt extremely comfortable the whole evening. If you would like to enjoy a quiet evening with delicious food and a pleasant atmosphere, the Al Salam is warmly recommended. (Original) Das Al Salam ist ein hervorragendes Restaurant! Das Servicepersonal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.

Wer gerne einmal einen ruhigen Abend mit leckerem Essen und angenehmer Athmosphäre genießen möchte, dem sei das Al Salam wärmstens empfohlen.

  • 1/5 hamada a. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately not a good idea to go there, I myself am very disappointed with my compatriot, had a long drive behind me to enjoy specialties from home. Immediately upon entering the shop, the manager came to us (his information on the phone to complain to me) and turned us on stupidly because of the mask, we had masks in hand, only as a customer at the table you don't have to wear a mask. The situation as he spoke to us and we treated it was totally uncomfortable and inappropriate from him, I feel that my wife and I would beg with him and not that you would go there with your money. Wallah 3aib. (Original) Leider gar keine gute Idee dahin zu gehen, bin selbst sehr enttäuscht von meinem Landsmann, Hatte lange Fahrt hinter mir gehabt um Spezialitäten aus dem Heimat zu genießen. Direkt beim eintreten des Ladens kam der Geschäftsführer (seine Angabe beim telefonieren um mich zu Beschwerden) uns entgegen und hat uns doof angemacht wegen der Maske, Masken hatten wir in der Hand gehabt, nur als Kunde am Tisch muss man keine Maske tragen. Die Situation wie er uns angesprochen hat und wir es uns behandelt hat, war total unangenehm und unangemessen von ihm, ich das Gefühl dass ich und meine Frau bei ihm betteln würden und nicht dass man mit seinem Geld dahin geht. Wallah 3aib.

    (Translated by Google) Was here with a group. Some were very enthusiastic about the "starter plate". We three men had meat (lamb + 2 x grill plates). Everything was plentiful and good. In my opinion, the lamb can be a bit more delicate. Warm, served friendly. Many interesting cocktail creations. Price in the upper middle range. Main courses between 13.90 and 19.90 euros.

    (Translated by Google) Yesterday I went to Al Salam with my boyfriend for the first time because of Taste Twelve. I have rarely seen such authentic and more than friendly service. The selection of the individual courses was manageable, but varied. This is exactly right for me, because you didn't have to choose between 40 different dishes. Our starters and main courses tasted very good and were done with attention to detail. I really liked the atmosphere, we were sitting in the front area of ​​the restaurant at small, low tables - super cozy! We had a very nice evening, 5 stars! (Original) Gestern war ich mit meinem Freund zum ersten Mal, auf Grund von Taste Twelve, im Al Salam essen. Ich habe selten einen so authentischen und mehr als freundlichen Service erlebt. Die Auswahl der einzelnen Gänge war überschaubar, aber vielfältig. Für mich demnach genau richtig, da man nicht zwischen 40 verschiedenen Speisen aussuchen musste. Unsere Vorspeisen und Hauptgänge haben sehr gut geschmeckt und waren mit Liebe zu Detail angerichtet. Das Ambiente hat mir ausgesprochen gut gefallen, wir saßen im vorderen Bereich des Restaurants an kleinen niedrigen Tischen - super gemütlich! Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Abend, 5 Sterne!

    Very beautifully decorated restaurants. It really feels like a place in the Middle East. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Food is very good, although not 100% authentic but I guess Germans may have some challenges with the authentic flavors and heat of Middle Eastern cuisine.

    I had a quick look at the reviews for the restaurant before writing mine and one of them particularly got my attention; it said: "The meat was grilled to perfection" Well I can absolutely share the exact same experience: I had a dish with grilled calf ("Milchkalb") and it was absolutely amazing 🤤. It was probably one of the best grilled meats that I've had in my life. The place is super nice and cosy, the staff very friendly and helpful. Beside the amazing food they offer some unique, very tasty and refreshing "oriental" cocktails (the "Be orientalized" section in their menu); I had a "Pineapple-Cardamom Caipirinha" and it was amazing 😍

    (Translated by Google) Extremely delicious dishes, super nice staff and nice atmosphere. The dishes were more than adequate in terms of size and the spices used meant they were real taste surprises. We had a starter, main course and dessert. The cocktails are also recommended. The advice is highly professional. Seldom experienced that the staff has such knowledge of the food on offer. The reception at the beginning was also polite and without waiting. In between we were asked several times whether everything was to our satisfaction. We'll be back for sure ... (Original) Äußerst leckere Gerichte, super nettes Personal und schöne Atmosphäre. Die Gerichte waren bezüglich Größe mehr als ausreichend und durch die verwendeten Gewürze echte Geschmacksüberraschungen. Wir hatten Vor-, Hauptspeise und Dessert. Empfehlenswert sind ebenfalls die Cocktails. Die Beratung ist höchst professionell. Selten erlebt, dass das Personal solche Kenntnis von den angebotenen Speisen hat. Auch der Empfang zu Beginn war höflich und ohne Wartezeit. Zwischendurch wurden wir mehrfach dezent gefragt, ob alles zu unserer Zufriedenheit ist. Wir kommen sicher wieder...

    (Translated by Google) An experience that you definitely have to have had: Incredibly good food, the lamb is a poem! The starters are also awesome. The cherry on top is a bar that has a selection and expertise that you would not expect in a Muslim-looking restaurant. Top gin selection and unusual cocktails apart from Long Island Ice Tea and Zombie. When I come to Cologne, that's my first port of call. Parking is difficult there, but should not be selected as an arrival option due to the bar. (Original) Eine Erfahrung die man aufjedenfall Mal gemacht haben muss: Unglaublich gutes Essen, das Lammfleisch ist ein Gedicht! Auch die Vorspeisen sind genial. Als Kirsche auf der Sahne gibt es eine Bar, die eine Auswahl und Fachkenntniss besitzt, die man in einem muslimisch anmutenden Restaurant nicht erwartet. Top Gin-Auswahl und ausgefallene Cocktails abseits von Long Island Ice Tea und Zombie. Wenn ich nach Köln komme, ist das meine erste Anlaufstelle. Parken ist dort schwierig, sollte aber aufgrund der Bar nicht als Anreiseoption gewählt werden.

    (Translated by Google) The food tasted good overall. At the somewhat higher prices, however, I expect higher quality meat and unfortunately the baqlawa were also not convincing. However, the variety and quality of the drinks is outstanding! The ambience is also authentic and contributes to the well-being of the visit. Despite the aforementioned comments, I am happy to come back and continue testing my way through the menu! (Original) Das Essen hat insgesamt gut geschmeckt. Ich erwarte bei den etwas gehobenen Preisen jedoch qualitativ hochwertigeres Fleisch und auch die Baqlawa haben leider nicht überzeugt. Die Vielfalt und Qualität der Getränke ist jedoch herausragend! Auch das Ambiente ist authentisch und trägt dem Wohlbefinden des Besuches bei. Ich komme trotz der zuvor genannten Anmerkungen gerne wieder und teste mich weiter durch die Speisekarte!

    (Translated by Google) If you are into oriental food, this is the place for you. Super tasty, nice staff. It is only a little difficult for tall people to get their legs neatly under the tables over 183 cm 😀 (Original) Wer auf orientalisches Essen steht ist hier genau richtig. Super lecker, nettes Personal. Etwas schwierig ist es nur für große Menschen, über 183 cm die Beine ordentlich unter die Tische zu bekommen 😀

    Great food and place, but service is terrible. The waitresses were a desaster, quite angry and not frendly at all. A pitty because Al Salam is one of the finest Restaurants in the country!
