Al Andalus in Köln

I have been appreciating the food prepared there with love since 2002! Which are also of very good quality score! Because I love Spanish dishes and they are authentic there, as if they were cooked by the Abuela!

Very bad service!!!! Super rude!!!! Hands: not fully cooked, but we still had to wait 1.5 hours for it!!! They were all very rude, NEVER AGAIN!!!!

I loved the place, a place to repeat, Mauoi is charming, very attentive to everything, the food like in Spain, more than deserves the 5 stars. See you very soon.

Great nice Spanish restaurant. Not visible directly from the outside. Unfortunately there is also a tall Spaniard opposite. Very good food and very friendly service

Was at Al Andalus for the Christmas party. We ordered about 15 different tapas and I tried everything except for 1-2 things. I really enjoyed it! The sangria was also delicious. Good and friendly service...we forgot something 2-3 times but the shop was also buzzing. Always happy to come back!

Very nice staff, great service and very tasty food. 🍷🍸

An excellent performance was delivered. Friendly and attentive staff work here throughout. The restaurant is nicely decorated and offers a variety of tapas and other dishes. The bread with aioli was delicious and the tapas were also very good. Everything that was supposed to be hot was served that way. In terms of taste, it's really a hit. We can highly recommend this restaurant. Just try it out and enjoy.

We visited the restaurant on Saturday for dinner without having a reservation. Despite the fact that no place was available spontaneously, which is totally acceptable, the behavior of the waiter at the door was rude, least to say. When we asked if there was a table for 2 we got the reply "ohne Reservierung .. sehr schlecht!" before turning his back on us. Totally unacceptable behavior .. we won't be visiting again.

Too narrow and too loud for me personally. The food was good but not excessive either. The service is friendly and attentive. Overall, definitely recommended.

Super delicious food and very nice service.

Very great tapas restaurant! We were a large group of 15 people and the service was just incredibly attentive, quick and warm. The food and wine were very tasty and fresh 😍 Special thanks to Maoui and her father. You made our evening unforgettable 🙌🏽

To be honest, I wasn't thrilled. The white bread with the aioli was average, no wow, I want to eat more of that. Tapas were partly good, partly not good. The gamba, calamari and various croquettes were good, but the chicken wings were not good (super dry). I also missed rabbit as a tapas (it was only available as a main course) or mushrooms. When we ordered a bottle of cava, the waiter ignored the express request to pour it. But everyone enjoyed the cava. So overall it was a visit that I would repeat again.

I had rabbit, it was heavenly. Keep it up, we were thrilled.

Super tasty and really friendly. Authentic restaurant. We would love to come back ❤️

We wanted to try a new place and stopped by Al Andalus for a Spanish evening. The first thing you noticed was how close the tables are. Privacy while eating? goodbye! Otherwise, the guest room is nicely furnished (photos were not taken out of consideration for the other guests). The menu reads really tasty from start to finish....but you don't know many of the dishes and tapas...photos on the menu would have been really helpful for making decisions. We also missed some subtle Spanish background music. Service was very nice and helpful. We know Spaniards can cook really delicious food, but this time our food was a bit too salty. Furthermore, we still had a lovely evening. Prices are pleasant. The rooms and the outside tables were very clean. Difficult parking situation. We recommend parking your car a little further away or, given the horrendous prices, coming without a car at all. We have a good recommendation for Al Andalus.

The food was very good. A ten for the aioli. The service was very fast and friendly. I already knew him and we will return. Thank you very much.

We had a lovely evening at Al Andalus. The atmosphere is cozy and rustic, perhaps a little cramped in one place or another. The service was attentive and friendly, especially the young lady responsible for us made sure that we didn't lack for anything. The food was excellent, there is nothing to complain about here either. Only the aioli with bread beforehand could have been a little more generous for 4 people. 5 stars.

Very good food! 😋 Very nice staff and very good menu advice

Despite the well-filled restaurant, we were quickly seated in the evening by the very nice owner without a reservation. The plate of grilled fish, shrimp and mussels was to die for. Serve with small potatoes with peel and a delicious aioli. For dessert, a Creme Catalana on the recommendation of the very nice and hard-working service. I'll be happy to come back here next time I'm in Cologne.

We ate as a couple and had a very nice evening. The service is very friendly and quick and we felt very welcome even with the voucher booklet. We will definitely be back and will continue to try the excellent tapas. Thank you!

Argentinian stake was quite nice. Patatoes with garlic mayo was nice.

There were four of us there and with the voucher booklet we eat two and a main course is not charged. It was super tasty, the seafood paella was to die for. The fish soup beforehand was a bit thin, but also very tasty. We sat outside, I can't say anything about the inside.

Good selection, absolutely ok quality and great, friendly service. It was tasty and we would love to come back again.

This restaurant is Normal, not with specific Spanish, the food tasteless, the premium and the last time here…

Vorneweg: Jeder hat mal einen schlechten Tag! Aber dieser Abend war ganz mies ! Alle aber auch wirklich alles Tapas ( Albondigas, Piementos, Hühnchen, Patata Brava…. Waren so ölig und fettig das der Begriff „ungenießbar“ nah dran ist. Auch auf unseren Hinweis an den Kellner, Chef oder wer auch immer das war kam keine Reaktion außer einem sehr unwirschen“ naja“ Bei der Rechnung allerdings ist der Service schnell und prompt! Es gibt ganz sicher wesentlich bessere Alternativen in der direkten Umgebung…. NICHT EMPFEHLENSWERT!!

Everything was delicious, the tapas were excellent, but the liquid was too salty, we drank more than 2 liters each, despite this, everything was excellent! The owner is very hospitable and a nice businessman, he handled a misunderstanding very nicely. We will prefer it again.

Very nice authentic tapas bar. Very friendly staff. Very friendly owner. Delicious tapas, good wine! We'd love to come back. Greetings from the BARCA fan 😝

Very nice and owner-managed restaurant in the heart of Cologne. The tapas were very tasty. The staff is outstanding. We'll definitely be back. Greetings from Barca Fan Numbero II

We were just there and had reserved a table for the European Championship game. Before our friends came we had already drunk 1/2 liter of wine and ordered 1 tapas. Now we wanted to order the “first round” of tapas before the rest of our friends arrived. On the menu there is a tapas selection from the chef with 4 tapas at a “special price”. We ordered these, whereupon the waiter scolded us that we had to order more because he wanted to make sales on such an evening. Women would take 3 tapas and men 4. We then said that we would order again later and that we would make enough sales from the drinks alone. It all just ended in insults and we left the store. Now we are looking for a restaurant where you are welcome and where we can leave ours on average €100.

The ambience and staff were great, but unfortunately the food was very oversalted for two people who didn't eat the paella, but rather individual dishes. The tapas were good and tasty.

Delicious tapas and a fantastic paella

Great food and great service, always happy ❤️

Sehr leckeres Essen, egal ob Tapas oder Hauptgericht. Freundliche und aufmerksame Bedienung. Wir gehen auf jeden Fall wieder dahin.

Were here for the first time and it was great. It was very tasty and the prices are okay. 👍 Also suitable before or after the cinema. It's best to reserve in advance and let us know if you're in a hurry. We will be back.

Delicious food and friendly service.

Everything was great, greetings Stefan from Wiesbaden

Fantastic. Great service, first-class paella and absolutely delicious sangria. Relaxed atmosphere, staff very accommodating and friendly. Prices are completely okay.

Incredibly good tapas!! Many options!

Super nice young waitress! Great service and food you feel like you're in Spain!

Great place!!!!! Tasty food. Try it!

Delicious tapas and very courteous service

We were completely satisfied The service is great 👍👍👍 the food is also good 👍👍 always happy

A few little things... Overall good: We came with a voucher. Is that why the portions were moderately small and measured in such “fine dining” or is that standard? In the end, the main course was still pretty tasty. The tapas were nothing special. The dessert was again delicious. I definitely would NOT have charged extra for the bread, especially because I chose the restaurant today for possible recommendations in my professional environment. The young lady from the service and the owner of the restaurant were nice. The lady behind the bar could perhaps welcome guests a little more warmly in the future, especially the first impression is good. ;) The ambience was okay. Despite the little things, it was still a lovely evening!

Delicious, everything was nice and pleasant, but quite expensive!

I really liked the restaurant! Incredibly delicious food and wine, very friendly waiters. I wish you even more satisfied customers 💛 Das Restaurant hat mir sehr gut gefallen! Unglaublich leckeres Essen und Wein, sehr freundliche Kellner. Ich wünsche Ihnen noch mehr zufrieden Kunden 💛

Small but fine restaurant where friendly and authentic service is important. The food was excellent and absolutely recommended!

Herrlich leckere Tapas und die Paella schmeckt hervorragend. Offene Weine kann man empfehlen.Die Atmosphäre ist gemütlich und entspannt. Ingesamt sehr nett.

Spanish restaurant with a rustic flair, interesting menu with very tasty dishes😋

Very good Spanish food in a small, cozy shop. You can treat yourself to tapas here, but also a juicy steak. Waiter very friendly.

Super friendly staff, Cosy and tasty. 👍

Small shop with good Mediterranean cuisine. Had a paella de marisco, very tasty, good portion with lots of fish and crabs.

The food was delicious and the service was very friendly!!

Small but nice. Good selection and very tasty tapas. The service is very friendly. We had a lovely, delicious evening here and will definitely be back.

Overall, a really great experience! We from Munich are already spoiled but that was really special. The waiter was still very friendly and personal, despite the full house. Absolutely recommended 👍

I don't really know... You'll be greeted with the sentence "Hang your jacker here and put your umbrella in the stand"... that could also be friendlier. Food was good. Service seems annoyed and at the end of the evening you smell a lot of frying oil. Prices are very reasonable.

The food was very tasty and due to the stroke of fate my partner was there for the first time in eleven long years. We would be warmly welcomed by everyone as if we had never been away. It was a lovely evening and we hope we can do this more often now. Also kind and warm greetings to Toni's wife, Yvonne Navarro from her brother Sascha

Tapas delicious Steak on point 👍

There were 10 of us eating there. The rooms are a bit small but cute. The service friendly. The paella was very tasty. Price-performance okay.

The operators simply block public parking spaces for their own vehicles! Neither does the public parking space belong to you, nor is it right for you to claim public parking spaces for yourself!

Very friendly and service-oriented service. We were there with a voucher, but it wasn't valid on Saturday. We hadn't read it. But the voucher was still accepted. The food was a poem. We can only recommend it. The coffee was also above average. We're still raving about that evening all day long.

We have been here several times when we visit Cologne. Always very good, since 1997. 100% recommendation

The all you can eat offer is great. The tapas all tasted wonderful, very nice and courteous service. Clear recommendation!

Very well made classic tapas. Completely fresh fish! Cutely intimate. Cava: Brut Nature, Yes!

Very tasty and still normal prices

Very good tapas, friendly service,

The service was just subpar. We hadn't been there for 5 minutes and had barely sat down when the boss shouted at us because he didn't like the seating arrangement we had chosen. Food was ok, but when it came time to pay we were left standing at the entrance for 15 minutes and ignored. Other guests' meat was cut into small pieces and funny pictures were taken with other customers at the table, while we had to wait at the checkout as we ordered and didn't pick it up. Never again!!!

"Ok tapas restaurant" Prijskwaliteit deze familie tapas resto is ok. Mooie keuze aan vegetarische, vlees- en vistapa's Z e hebben de gewoonte om alles in één keer te brengen (koud en warm) ... zou beter gedoseerd moeten worden. Wijnen zijn wat aan de lage kwaliteit. Zitplaatsen erg basic Al met al een ok ervaring.

Es una parada obligatoria en Colonia, el mejor restaurante! Servicio inmejorable, ambiente super acogedor y comida espectacular, muchisima calidad en cada plato! Todo bueniiiisimo. El dueño y sus trabajadores encantadores y serviciales! Volveremos sin dudarlo.

TollescRestaurant, netter Service, leckere Tapas, und Hunde sind auch willkommen

Excellent. Recommend by our hotel - Boulevard ( also excellent) and only 400m from hotel Restaurant nicely laid out. Lively food & wine Good service Nice atmosphere Highly recommended & very reasonable prices

Planning to visit again this week... And probably the week after 😄

Vom Essen bis zum Service war es wirklich toll! Vielen Dank für den schönen Abend.

Too expensive but for once is ok. Paella was good

Comida muy buena y servicio inmejorable. Gracias Mario y Antonio

Die Tapas waren sehr lecker 😋 und wir hatten einen sehr schönen Abend.

Ihr wollt richtig lecker spanisch Essen gehen?? Dann seid ihr hier genau richtig. Ich war zum ersten Mal spanisch Essen, und war begeistert. Wir haben uns mit 4 Personen die Paella bestellt. Die Paella war super klasse. Die Zutaten waren alle frisch und sehr lecker. Klar, die Wartezeit war ein bisschen länger, aber darauf wurde auch hingewiesen, wenn man eine Paella bestellt. Das Ambiente war sehr urig und das Personal super nett. Es fehlte leider nur ein bisschen mehr Licht um die Karte besser lesen zu können 😄aber egal. Kleiner Tipp noch....immer einen Tisch reservieren, ansonsten wird es schwer einen Tisch zu bekommen 😉

Gutes Lokal Freundlicher Service und leckere Auswahl an Tapas

Hier kann gut essen, aufmerksames Personal, gute Auswahl an Speisen

Está bien, es rico y las tapas son bastante grandes, por ejemplo, en la tortilla vienen 3 porciones, a diferencia de otros lugares en donde viene una sola. Si me pareció un poco caro y es caro el hecho de que te cobren por un poco de pan. Está bien.

Über ein Gutscheinbuch auf dieses Restaurant aufmerksam geworden. Super nette Bedienung. Ambiente eger einfach aber es gibt tolle Nischen, wo wir zu zweit gut gesessen haben sehr gut besucht, man sollte reservieren. Das Essen war sehr gut. Wenn ich dieses Mal Filet gewählt habe, nächstes Mal auf jeden Fall Tappas. Sah alles wunderbar aus und schien gut zu schmecken . Zum Abschluss gab es noch einen Schnaps aufs Haus ! Eine Empfehlung für dieses Restaurant spreche ich hiermit gerne aus.

Authentisches spanisches Tapas-Restaurant mit aufmerksamen und freundlichen Service-Mitarbeitern. Gäbe umfangreiche Auswahl an kleinen Tapas und auch größerem regulären Gerichten. Super Preis-Leistungs Verhältnis.

Sehr gutes, authentisches Restaurant. Tolle Speisen und wir haben uns echt wohlgefühlt! Vielen Dank für den schönen Abend!

Das Essen war toll, der Service war Klasse, die Leute sehr freundlich und aufmerksam.Der Preis für das was geboten wurde mehr als fair. So Stelle ich mir spanische Küche vor. Es empfiehlt sich aber einen Tisch zu reservieren.

Hier ist einfach alles perfekt. Und diese frisch gemachte Paella ist einfach unglaublich.

Zum ersten Mal dort gewesen und sicher nicht zum letzten Mal. Die besten Tapas, die wir in Köln bisher gegessen haben. Vielen Dank :-)

Toller Spanier mit leckerem Essen und tollem Service! Hatten einen super Abend. Empfehlenswert

Gutes Essen, faire Preise, freundliche Bedienung.

Das Essen kam vor den Getränken ,Steak wurde Englisch gebracht statt Medium, auf späteres draufhinweisen kam hätte man ja nochmals auf den Grill legen können. Dem 🐕 was zu trinken bei der Wärme zu bringen ,Fehlanzeige, Beilagen Salat gabs auch mit dem was eigentlich rausgeschnitten wird ein Nogo auch Angesichts des Preis. Kräuter Butter mit Ajvar im kl. Schüsselchen ,lief schon kurz nach dem das Essen kam ineinander

Tolle schmackhafte Tapas, sehr freundlicher und aufmerksamer Service, immer einen Besuch wert

Das Restaurant hat kein schönes Ambiente, könnte etwas moderner gestaltet werden. Der Service ist lieblos, man fühlt sich nicht wirklich willkommen als Gast. Das Essen ist ok, mehr nicht. Man merkt, dass es dort viel Laufkundschaft gibt.

Sehr freundlich und leckeres Essen

Wir waren heute das erste Mal dort und waren etwas enttäuscht. Die Inneneinrichtung ist total in die Jahre gekommen, wurde vor 30 Jahren eingerichtet und nicht viel verändert. Die Kellner waren anfangs nicht sehr aufmerksam. Die ganze Atmosphäre war nicht wirklich angenehm. Der Chef macht seine Angestellte nieder("du machst das, was ich dir sage, oder du kannst gehen etc."), so dass man es als Gast mitbekommt. Auf der Herrentoilette steht der Kinderhochstuhl direkt neben dem Pinkelbecken. Beim Bezahlen mit Karte wird man erst nach einer Viertelstunde darauf hingewiesen, dass dies an der Theke zu erfolgen hat. Nachdem wir Vor- und Hauptspeisen bestellt hatten, wurden wir gefragt, ob wir auch Aioli wollen, was wir dankend bejahten, da wir davon ausgingen, dass dies, wie in den anderen Restaurants, in denen wir sonst verkehren, eine Aufmerksamkeit des Hauses sei. Bei Erhalt der Rechnung wurden wir eines Besseren belehrt und durften 4,70 Euro für drei Scheibchen Brot und eine winzige Portion Aioli zahlen. Das Essen an sich war lecker, aber auch nicht besonders hervorhebenswert.

Tolles Restaurant für klasse Tapas, super Service und schönes Ambiente. Wir waren zu dritt dort, natürlich mit Reservierung... ein toller und leckerer Abend!

Super netter Gastgwber und zuvorkommen, Bester Mann

Leckeres Essen und nette Bedienung

Wir haben uns willkommen gefühlt. Waren gerade weniger besucher da deswegen nicht lange gewartet. Sehr freundlich. Essen war lecker Werden wieder kommen

Super lecker, kann man nur weiterempfehlen.

Charmanter Service und leckere tapas.

Prima tapasbar, enigszins gedateerd interieur. Eten prima, daar is ook alles mee gezegd.
