Afghanisches & Persisches Mari Restaurant in Köln

I was recently in this restaurant and ordered something to eat. Unfortunately the food was not to my taste. It seemed that it had been prepared for a long time, which unfortunately was also tasted. I also told the staff about it. I hope that in the future more attention will be paid to the freshness and quality of the food. I recently went to this restaurant and ordered something to eat.

Food mediocre in taste, there is better Persian food

Our new favorite restaurant. I've rarely eaten anything so delicious. Very attentive and friendly service. Simply fantastic. We highly recommend the Afghan dishes – unbeatable.

Nice owner, but the food is much better in Cologne.

Bisar, polite people, excellent service and delicious food, I suggest you try it once. Sehr höfliche Leute, excellent Service und leckeres Essen. I recommend you to try it once.

Hi, The food was incredibly tasty, you can't compare it with other Afghan restaurants. There were four of us and we... Kabuli Palau ordered. Rice and meat without comparison. We'll definitely come back. Loving service

The food is really great - this is the second time we've come to eat here. I was also in Iran and I have to say: your food tastes even better. The portions are also very generous. What could be improved: The food should be served faster and, if possible, at the same time.

I can only recommend it to everyone. Great meat, delicious food and very friendly staff. Will definitely be visiting more often soon!

Fairly good food, but the atmosphere was crowded, the spaces were very narrow, in addition to that there was an unhygienic and incorrect remark by one of the restaurant staff. While preparing the juices, he placed ice cubes in the cup directly with his hand, and I alerted him to this mistake. The food is kind of good, but the atmosphere was crowded, the spaces were very narrow, in addition to the fact that there was an incorrect and incorrect observation by one of the restaurant staff while preparing juices, he puts ice molds in the cup directly with his hand, and I warned him for this mistake.

The Afghan & Persian Mari Restaurant in Cologne impresses with authentic dishes, generous portions and friendly service. Guests appreciate the delicious taste and careful preparation. A recommended address for lovers of Afghan and Persian cuisine.

Ordered kebab yesterday, small portion and no taste. The boss was very unfriendly. Never again

The best Afghan food in town! Fresh, tasty, good atmosphere. Tastes like mom’s! Super authentic!!!

The food at Mari is just so, so good. I've never had such good fesenjoon and ghorme sabzi anywhere else and I really try it everywhere. Simply super delicious!

I can only say that everything was great Happy 2025 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

A very good restaurant with excellent and delicious food. The atmosphere is pleasant, although it can be a little busy, and the staff is good overall. However, the young employees sometimes seem a bit impatient or not particularly friendly towards Iranians. Overall, however, I am very satisfied.

Went here for dinner today. We enjoyed everything very much! We would love to come back🙏

Ladies and Gentlemen I have yet to find a better restaurant than here that I like the food and staff. I wish you all the best and let's come back and forth with family LG Mahdi

Very, very tasty food + attentive service. Gladly again 😁

The food was tasty. But the price-performance ratio is not right. I paid €16.50 for a chicken skewer dish with rice. It was more rice than anything else. Unfortunately the staff isn't that friendly either. My call was dropped in the middle of the conversation because the display didn't show a cell phone number. I would have liked it better if it had been more respectful and friendly.

The dishes don't taste particularly good. My meat was hard and spoiled. It smelled bad when I opened it. Never again! Disgusting!!!

Mari is a great restaurant with authentic Afghan/Persian cuisine. So far everything has been so delicious, the owners are incredibly friendly and welcoming and you feel at home. The service is also super fast. Unfortunately very underrated, perhaps because of the location. But the store definitely deserves a lot more attention.

The food was okay and the staff was very friendly. Unfortunately very few vegetarian/vegan options and rather small portions.

The restaurant was wonderful! The food was delicious and the staff were always polite and friendly. We've been there three times and each time it's been a great experience. Highly recommended!

Completely disgusting I found chewing gum in my food

Best Afghan & Persian food in the whole region! We'll definitely be back! Clear recommendation. Thank you very much 🙏🏻

Very, very tasty food and great service, I can only recommend it 👌🏻 It's not that expensive 🫰 and I'll always be happy to come ❤️❤️

The food is very expensive and very poor compared to the price and the service is very poor. I don't recommend it at all and it doesn't deserve any stars

Very tasty and authentic - something different. Prices are fair. We'd love to come back! The only suggestion for improvement: the plastic blanket on the table is not very comfortable ;)

It Took me 1 hour to find this place but it's closed, you should respect your customers and open your restaurant in working hours.

Their kabab meat smelled bad and it wasn’t fresh. They brought a wrong order and told me if I wanted to get the correct order, It would take the same amount of time again.

We were there for the first time, everything was great, food, quality and fast and also very friendly

The restaurant is highly recommended 100% perfect very good Thank you very much

Highly recommended! TOP Kabulie Palau - قابلی پولو

I recently dined at Mari, an Afghan restaurant, and had a wonderful experience. I tried the Gabeli Poulou, a specialty of Afghanistan, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and authentic, making it a memorable dish. The service was excellent; the staff were attentive and friendly, ensuring that we had everything we needed. Additionally, the prices were very reasonable, providing great value for the quality of food and service offered. Overall, I highly recommend Mari for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Afghan or Persian cuisine.

I gave 4 stars only because of its high price

I was there today. Everything was super tasty and always a pleasure. I know recommend it to everyone

I tried this restaurant for the first time and I enjoyed a lot. Definitely will back again and recommend you all to go there and order your desired Persian foods, and of course don’t forget about the Kebabs menu 😋

See more information for this fee 👍😄

Very tasty and very cheap food 10/10.

The best and delicious dinner i have ever eaten in Germany

The most delicious food I've eaten in all of Germany ❤️🇦🇫🫡

The food tasted good, the staff are very nice, I go there every now and then.

Great food, cozy atmosphere and first class service! Absolutely recommended.😍🙏

Ich habe heute 2 chelo koobide bestellet war sehr sehr lecker und super gute Qualität , ich habe fast alle iranisches Restaurant in Köln probiert aber das war die beste. Very tasty and excellent, it was the best barbecue I ate in Cologne Be sure to try

The best restaurant, the food is excellent, very tasty.

I visited the restaurant for the first time and we were greeted with a warm welcome by the restaurant manager. As for the food experience, it was delicious and the quantity was plentiful, especially the kabli dish. I advise you to visit it and try the delicious Iranian and Afghan food

The food is delicious, the quantity is excellent, the treatment is good and the prices are acceptable. I ordered koobideh kebab, joojeh sultani, and kabuli rice. All dishes were delicious.

Very tasty and also tastes very good Only recommend

10/10 Today I was at Restaurant Marie for the first time. The service was very warm and friendly. The food was really unique, it was very tasty, it was beautifully prepared, the explosion of flavors!! I recommend the restaurant to anyone who wants to eat Afghan food and it is very good!! Many thanks to the chef for the service and the appetizers and the very tasty food

Really delicious and high quality food

My favorite restaurant in Cologne. Delicious food, very pleasant, family atmosphere and particularly friendly service. Price-performance is unbeatable.

Very very tasty food!!! Super Service. Authentic facility.

It really didn't taste good. I personally wouldn't go there again

Good Persian and Afghan cuisine

The food was super delicious. If you want to experience a true Afghani cuisine, do visit. Plus, the people were very warm and welcoming.

Very calm place, food is super delicious and we didn't wait too much. The prices are normal and the service is super. The nice owner offered us free Afghan tea 😁😁😁 that was super worming and delicious. We will return

Sehr Lecker und Natürlich sehr Freundlich

It's a good restaurant to try Iranian or Afghan dishes. It may not be impressive but it's worth a visit. The staff are nice.

Sehr freundlich immer wieder gern.

Nie wieder dahin gehen essen schmeck garnicht und sehr sparsam salat bringt dir nur Minze sonst garnicht Mantu war mit Zwiebeln voll anstatt fleisch

Sehr lecker Essen,und sehr freundlich Atmosphäre, ich empfehle gerne weiter!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sehr gutes afghanisches Restaurant, alles sehr lecker & frisch. Freundliches Personal. Kommen gerne wieder!!! VG aus Stuttgart

Super lecker & sehr freundlicher Service, vielen Dank, gerne wieder! تشکر از مهمان نوازی تان .

Wirklich ein geheim Tipp. Es schmeckt und die Preise sind annehmbar. Komme gerne wieder. Danke für die Herzlichkeit

Einer der besten Läden die ich jemals drin gegessen habe und essen werde.

کارکنان خوش برخورد، رستوران تمیز است . جوجه نرم و خوشمزه بود اما قیمه قابلی پلو و برنج کمی سرد بودن . تشکر از رستوران ماری

بهترین رسترانت که تاهالا در آلمان رفتم خیلی مهربان و غذایش خیلی با مزه

Ich habe zum ersten mal iranisch oder Afghanisch?! gegessen... An sich war ich zufrieden von dem Essen allerdings hat es schon lange gedauert bis das Essen kam. Die Portion war groß. Auch die iranische Fassbrause hat mir gefallen.

Meine Erfahrung im Restaurant Mari war äußerst enttäuschend und unangenehm. Als ich kürzlich eine Bestellung aufgeben wollte und angab, mit Karte zahlen zu wollen, erlebte ich einen äußerst unhöflichen Vorfall mit dem Restaurantinhaber. Er fragte mich herablassend, warum ich an diesem Tag kein Bargeld dabei hatte. Ich erklärte höflich, dass ich nur mit Karte zahlen konnte. Doch er fragte erneut, warum ich kein Bargeld hatte. Dieses Verhalten war nicht nur unhöflich, sondern auch äußerst unprofessionell. Es schien so, als ob der Inhaber es bevorzugte, dass Kunden in bar zahlten, um möglicherweise Einnahmen "inoffiziell" zu behalten. Bisher hatte ich nie eine offizielle Rechnung erhalten, wenn ich in diesem Restaurant gegessen hatte. Es schien, dass deutsche Kunden eine Rechnung erhielten, während afghanische oder iranische Kunden nur einen Zettel mit dem zu zahlenden Betrag bekamen. Diese Erfahrung hat mein Vertrauen in das Restaurant und seinen Geschäftsethik schwer erschüttert. Ich würde anderen Kunden empfehlen, sehr vorsichtig zu sein, wenn sie hier essen oder bestellen möchten. Ein respektvoller Umgang mit allen Kunden sollte oberste Priorität haben.

Ich war schon zweimal da. Das Essen war sehr lecker. Sehr sauber auch WC. Nur das Essen hat etwas länger gedauert und der Geschäftsführer könnte netter sein. Also war gut und die Preise sind auch nicht so teuer. Nur Mahiche war SCHLECHT. 😖 Aber trotzdem wieder dahin...aber kein Mahiche bestellen😉

Wirklich wunderbar! Essen ist top, qualitativ und schön gewürzt, Ambiente ist nice und Personal auch sehr freundlich. Afghanisches Essen sollte man auch mal gerne probieren. Immer wieder gerne.

Super lecker und echt preiswert Preis/Leistungsverhältnis 1A mit Sternchen Immer wieder gerne

⛔️ 😡 rude aggressive بی ادب بد اخلاق صاحب رستورنتIt’s expensive for the quality not good taste reheated food and service they have doubled the price of their standard.Not Afghan restaurant no sauces or salad with main meal , don’t wast your time and money, it’s saying Afghan halal but sell alcohol not good attitude. Zero food quality. Zero hygiene. Disrespectful owner. Not recommending this place at all for tourists visiting Cologne

Make sure to call them before you go there i walk almost 40 minutes it was saying open on website when i got there it was close... this is not right way of business

Verksufen angeblich Halal aber nebenbeinauch auch alkohol also das war ne echte enttäuschung und wissen nicht mal was ein Gebetsraum.oder betrn selbst bedeutet sehr schlecht nich zu empfehlen

Friendly restaurant and great taste with good size of portions.

Das Essen ist vorzüglich, die Preise sind für die gebotene Qualität sehr günstig. Die Atmosphäre ist angenehm, die Betreiber sehr freundlich. Ein echter Geheimtipp!

Compared to the high ratings, our experience was a bit more modest. The service was good, and the choices were interesting and well explained, so everyone could find something suitable. the starters were all very good, well made, tasty and with good ingredients. The main courses, we had 3 different ones for 4 people, varied a lot. Some fresh grilled meat was good/ok (lack of special twist), some was soupy, and mine appeared heated while the taste was amazing.

Friendly staff , Delicious food

Delicious and tasty persian food, nice atmosphere, very clean and with friendly staff. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Das Essen ist einfach super lecker und köstlich, ich gehe immer gerne hin. Super netter und freundlicher Besitzer 5 Sterne verdient 🥰

Im "Mari" findet man herzliche Gastgeber, köstliche afghanische und persische Gerichte, die frisch zubereitet und sehr schön präsentiert werden. Unbedingt probieren sollte man Ashak, Mantu, die Grillgerichte und Kabuli Palau sowie die Vorspeisen.

Lovely halaal food. Warm welcome by the owner and his wife. Small shop next door with limited butcher/supplies available, too

Gestern Abend zwei traditionelle Afgh. Speisen (Khabuli/ Mantu) zum mitnehmen bestellt. Sehr köstliches Essen, Qualität der Speisen war sehr gut, Preis Leistung auch fair! Die Betreiber sehr gastfreundlich und nett. Ebenfalls das dazugehörige Lebensmittel Geschäft sehr zu empfehlen. Kommen gerne wieder.

Ich war heute in diesem Restaurant und kann nur sagen das das Essen sehr lecker war.Ich war schon in vielen Restaurants hier in Köln und kann sagen sowohl das Afganische und das Persische Essen ist einfach nur lecker gewesen. Das Resturant ist sehr empfehlenswert und die Preise sind nicht so überteuert.

Wir waren in mehreren persischen und afghanischen Restaurants in Köln und Umgebung aber dieses hier ist echt köstlich. Preis-Leistung 1A. Ich kann diesen Restaurant nur weiterempfehlen.

Wenn ich essen gehe, möchte ich nicht einfach satt werden, sondern etwas besonderes erleben. Dies war hier in mehrfacher Hinsicht der Fall. Der Besitzer war äußerst nett und gastfreundlich. Der grüne Tee mit Safran ist eine Wucht. Wir hatten den Vorspeisen Teller, und die Komponenten waren z.T. "nur" lecker, z.T. aber ganz außergewöhnliche Geschmackserlebnisse. Es war faszinierend, welche Geschmäcker man mit bestimmten Würzmischungen zusammen zaubern kann. Auch die Hauptmenüs waren etwas ganz neues für uns. Man sollte orientalische Küche mögen und offen für neues sein, dann wird man dieses Restaurant lieben. Wir kommen definitiv wieder. :)

Nice but little but expensive !

Tolles Essen und super Service. Nur zu empfehlen !!

Das Essen war super lecker. Und das Personal ist sehr nett und zuvorkommend😊 Außerdem gute Portionen!

Ich muss schon sagen, war wirklich lecker! War schon in afghanisch/persischen Restaurants, war nie ein Fan. Aber die haben mich echt krass überrascht. Der zarte Reis und das zarte Fleisch mit dem leckeren Salat. Top! Weiterzuempfehlen.

The best Afghan/Iranian Restaurant in the city !

One of the best restaurants for Afghani food

بسیار فضای گرم و خودمونی داره...

Very tasty food specially Kabuli dish .

Leckeres Essen, schlicht und schnell. Preise passend für Köln und die Gegend. Gerne wieder Parken nicht einfach möglich.

Zero food quality. Zero hygiene. Disrespectful owner. Not recommending this place at all for tourists visiting Cologne.

Gute Atmosphäre, leckeres Essen, freundliches Personnel. Man bekommt hier leckere afghanische Reis 😋 und auch andere orientalische Leckereien für guten Preis 🥇

Bestes Persisches und Afganisches Essen in Köln.
