Beirut Restaurant in Köln

I will never go again. I do not recommend.

The food tastes really good!! We asked the waiter if the meat was halal and he said yes. Only later did we see that alcohol was also sold in this restaurant. Where alcoholic beverages are sold, no one usually pays attention to whether the meat is halal. We should have paid more attention, but maybe it will help other Muslims who pay attention like we do.

Good food but small portions and service that could be improved Food: The taste of the food was really excellent. Unfortunately, the portions were quite small, which, combined with the prices, significantly reduces the value for money. Service: The food was prepared quickly, which was a positive. However, the waiters could be a little friendlier and more attentive - a smile often makes a big difference! Location: Very central and easily accessible, which is definitely a plus. Conclusion: It's worth a visit for the taste alone, but if you value larger portions, you may want to consider an alternative.

The audience is just as colorful as the food. The Fatousch is a dream. The best salad I've ever eaten!

Would be a 4.5, it's really tasty and well priced but really tight

Very nice place! Authentic Lebanese food for reasonable prices… The fattoush salad was so yummy ! And the mixed grill is recommended too

The food is good and the service is good, but the prices are very expensive The right to two shawarma meals with a cola is 44 euros

My rating is not exaggerated. Very accommodating and attentive. The food was great. You can pay by card (Nov 2024).

Although the guest room is small, it is very inviting. If you want to eat real Lebanese food, this is the place for you! Very, very tasty food, definitely worth another visit

Food was dry and inedible A grill plate for 25 euros contained a chicken, a lamb skewer and some meat that was not identified. All three skewers were about 15 cm long with a little rice. For 25 euros the size of the portion is a joke. We were still happy about it because the food was inedible. Dry, the lamb had a strange aftertaste. Let's come to the plate with the schwarma chicken, the meat tasted like Sahara. Well, not a good experience bye

It was very tasty, the service was great and very nice 👍 👍

All the food is delicious, especially the appetizers! Recommend this authentic restaurant and kitchen 10/10. Also very reasonable priced.

Super and tasty food. Service was a bit tame but efficient. Restaurant could use a little overhaul but all in all a nice experience

Amazing food! Fast service! 10/10 recommend if you live in Koln or if you are visiting for a day!

A nice restaurant with very nice food and presentation

Worst kebab I've ever eaten and I'm drunk

Very diverse, delicious and authentic food!

Food was really amazing, a little expensive but was worth it! Fatoush salad was really tasty! just the dinning place is quite tight

Very tasty food and everyone is super friendly. We drove from Koblenz to Cologne especially for this and we have to say it was worth it ☺️!!! Good tip..Make a reservation!!!

The chicken was a little too dry but otherwise good food

Good food, unfriendly service. Staff did not really care about us and it felt unwelcoming. Efficient and good food, but poor experience because of indifferent service. Also, cash only, which seems odd.

Food was great. All have taken place.

No recommendation, even one star would be too much of a good will. Where should you start, the staff and service were really not good, happy looks different too. An employee mixed beer from a strange PET bottle and a normal beer and gave it away. Closed the half open beer bottle with the crown cap and put it in the fridge. Soft drinks are way too expensive for a 0.2 glass. Food wasn't good at all Meat felt warmed several times and some of it wasn't even cooked through. My partner had number 82/83, I don't know exactly what it was, but it looked really terrible, I only knew something like that from Kabel1, the restaurant tester or whatever. They were really quick with the bill, at least that's a 1 star.

Het eten is echt fantastisch, als je hier wilt eten wel op tijd reserveren. Bediening is niet altijd even vriendelijk en de baas is een oude knorrenpot. Heel gek dat de pin het niet doet en je zal of van tevoren cash mee moeten meenemen of "even" langs de pinautomaat moeten. Het is een heel klein en gezellig restaurant. Niet het nieuwste meubilair maar goed daar kwamen we niet voor. Wij hebben met twee kids het complete menu met voor en hoofdgerecht genomen. Helaas moest dit voor drie personen terwijl onze kids niet veel en alles lusten. We hebben daardoor veel eten tegen onze wil moeten laten staan. Het eten is daarentegen echt fantastisch. Maar de volgende keer bestellen we iets los van de kaart ipv een duur menu en de helft laten staan

Reservations in advance are a must. If you didn't know where to find it, you would walk right past it. The welcome by the boss was okay and not very warm. Unfortunately we had to take the walk through the kitchen for three people. While we, two adults with two kids, knew that the menu would be sufficient for two people. Because we had to order for three people, we unfortunately had to leave more food than we wanted. The food is really fantastic, it is enough and with the walk through the kitchen you get to taste everything that we would not otherwise order.

Kommen immer wieder gerne 👌😋 Das essen ist einfach genial. Und da kann man bestellen was man will. Auch das Drumherum passt 👍.

Yes, I was skeptical, but I was very positively surprised. Delicious fresh food, good service and delicious tea on the house. Thank you

The best Lebanese food in Cologne! It's definitely our favorite spot for Kebbeh and labneh. Super friendly staff.

A very cosy and nice restaurant,the welcome and the service are great and quick. The food is delicious and the quantities are good. Totally recommend Lebanese food

Very cozy atmosphere family-run restaurant, extremely friendly staff and authentic Lebanese food. The only con is price a bit above average.

A wonderful place. Everything was nice and special, from the food to the cleanliness of the treatment and the atmosphere inside the restaurant. You feel like you are in Syria and Lebanon.

If you want to know how incredibly delicious Lebanese food can be, Beirut is the right place for you. Super fresh, very good portions and perfectly priced. The shop is very authentic and despite the noise and the bustling atmosphere, you immediately feel very comfortable and warmly welcomed. It was simply wonderful and I'm already looking forward to the next meal in Beirut.

We passed this Lebanese restaurant by chance, we got a table for 2 for an hour. The food is simply delicious, the oriental spicy potatoes, you can't prepare potatoes any better. We'll be happy to come back but don't forget to make a reservation!!

It is very nice restaurant, food is delicious and workers are really kind. The atmosphere is great. I really enjoyed the food there.

Delicious halal food with good environment

The place is messy and poorly ventilated. Also, the prices are inflated and expensive compared to the small portions. The service was not good and the space is cramped.

Authentic libanese food in the heart of Cologne city, highly recommended, good prices and great crew. Only cash payments though.

Great restaurant! The food was excellent – ​​fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. The [Shaworma arabai] in particular was a highlight. The team was incredibly friendly and attentive, I immediately felt welcome. Perfect service and delicious dishes – I’ll definitely be back!

Wat een geweldig restaurant! Je waant je zo in Beiroet. Een klein restaurant in het hartje van Keulen. Gelukkig hadden we gereserveerd, want het zat tot de nok vol. De obers moesten even puzzelen, maar uiteindelijk konden we met z’n 4-en boven gezellig zitten. We kozen voor het Mäse Menu. Voor €47 p.p. de tafel vól met de meest heerlijke voor- en hoofdgerechten. Echt van een waanzinnig hoog niveau. De bediening was echt prima; leuke kerels die ook wel tegen een geintje kunnen. Het dessert en de koffie hebben we alle vier laten staan; dat was écht niet naar onze smaak. Al met al een een geweldig gezellige en smaakvolle avond!

had the shish taouk and the fattoush salad. Both were delicious. The bread could have been better if it had been served fresh from the grill rather than warmed up. Still very tasty and definitely recommended. also there was no tap water available so I had to pay 3 euros for a small bottle. I'm not sure if it's common practice not to offer tap water to customers?

Very authentic. Very tasty food. If you want to take a trip to Middle Eastern cuisine, this is the right place for you. We only ordered starters. Since these portions were so large, you didn't have to order anything else. The staff was very polite and accommodated every request. The boys have the place under control. When we're back in Cologne, we'd love to come back.

We hebben hier heerlijk gegeten voor een goede prijs. Het vlees heeft een lekkere rooksmaak van de houtskoolgrill, de groenten zijn zeer vers en de bediening is zeer vriendelijk. De gerechten stonden vrij snel op tafel.

Pricey but worth the money! Super nice service and delicious food!

Wallah almost stabbed, just knife on leg

Very tasty, but relatively expensive. Card payment not possible at first, then yes. You may want to ask before eating.

It was a failed visit to Beirut Restaurant The dishes do not represent the entire food of Lebanon The dishes were very bad and the prices were very expensive

Very tasty food, fast service. You should reserve a table.

Very good food, nice and fast service

Disappointing and overpriced – not recommended! I was really disappointed with the Beirut restaurant in Cologne. The food is absolutely overpriced and in no way justifies the high prices. The portions are tiny and anything but generous. In terms of taste, it wasn't anything special - everything was very unspectacular and nothing that you couldn't get better or cheaper elsewhere. The service also left a lot to be desired. You had the feeling that the employees didn't really enjoy their job, and that was clearly noticeable in the lack of warmth in the atmosphere. The atmosphere that you would expect from a restaurant like this is completely absent. In addition, the tables inside were dirty and there were leftovers from previous guests on them - apparently they are not cleaned regularly or thoroughly enough. Furthermore, this is not a place for children and there are no chairs for children. Overall, absolutely no recommendation. There are far better options in Cologne.

My only complaint is that everything sounded so good, we ordered too much! The food was delicious and were very generous servings. Super enjoyable!

Very delicious food! It’s hard to get seated! The food is amazing, but still the sandwiches have a room for improvements! This is the best place where you can have Lebanese food in Cologne!

Last Saturday I went on a trip to Cologne with my wife. And bought shawarma here twice, unfortunately we found dirt (hair and skin) in it. By the time I explored, we were gone. And I live far away from Cologne, otherwise I would complain there directly. It's very angry, they ruined the whole day.

Was there for the second time and it definitely won't be the last time. Super nice staff and great authentic food. Very very tasty!! Thank you.

The food tastes delicious. But it wasn't that much of a wow factor. Because the food tastes similar to general Arabic food. But you can eat it 🙂

If you're in Cologne and craving authentic Lebanese food, look no further than this delightful restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The highlight of our evening was undoubtedly the exceptional service. The owner went above and beyond to ensure that our dinner was nothing short of unforgettable. Whether you're a fan of traditional dishes like hummus, tabbouleh & baba ghannouj or looking to try something new, this restaurant will not disappoint. Overall, this Lebanese restaurant in Cologne offers an experience that goes beyond just a meal—it's a celebration of Lebanese culture and hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy an unforgettable dining experience

What a fantastic restaurant! Such fresh and flavorful food. We thoroughly enjoyed every bite.

The menu is really great, especially if there are several people. The guys are also really nice and hard working. There is a star deduction because it is simply no longer appropriate today not to offer card payment. You don't even have 300 EUR in your pocket

Completely new and very great experience for the taste buds. Just do it.

God bless them, 10 out of 10 Appetizers 10/10 Spicy and delicious (hummus, baba ghanoush, and sambousek) Shawarma 10/10 Grilled 10/6 The restaurant is full and crowded, God willing.

The annual pilgrimage to the Beirut Restaurant is a highlight of my trips to Cologne. A must visit.

Overpriced. Service is not great and their machine is "broken" a hummus, yogurt and tabouleh cost me $40. Now that's straight up theft

Every time I come to Cologne I visit this restaurant, everything is very tasty and cheap

Unfortunately only snack bar level. Therefore the price-performance ratio is not right. A large part of the staff does not speak German.

Always delicious. If you want Lebanese cuisine, head to Beirut. My No. 1 in Cologne for many years.

Super great authentic restaurant with good food

Food was delicious, there is a lot to choose from. Portions are sufficient and the prices are reasonable

Were there on Thursday evening with 4 people. Food was a dream...I haven't eaten so well in a long time

A bad and very expensive restaurant, and I spent 63 euros on it for two meals, and the food was less than normal, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was not comfortable at all. I won't celebrate it. “Extremely large and very expensive. It has 63 Euros for the next day, and this is where we live in the restaurant.

It's a good Lebanese restaurant in downtown Cologne. The service is very friendly. The food is of the best quality. It was a very nice experience and I can easily recommend it.

Delicious food, but there was a 'PIN problem', luckily we were finally able to use the PIN.

The place is nice and clean, the food is good, but the shawarma is not good and the prices are a little high

Unfortunately we only ate the starter plate, but it was very tasty. Unfortunately, the main course was lost in the order.

Very nice atmosphere and really delicious

On a quiet side street. Staff is sweet and friendly. Food was to die for: fried potatoes with toum, babaganoush, fallafel, rakakat, baklava, Lebanese white wine. Giving one less star only because the place is uncomfortably tiny (even for Europe) and we were seated at a table that was in the way of both staff and other patrons. Staff member even tripped over my partners leg because of lack of space. Also server tried to insist only cash until we insisted on credit card and he gave in. Otherwise very enjoyable meal.

I wanted to try some lebanese food and couldn’t find the perfect match and i came across Beirut it was an amazing experience amazing staff amazing management. Recommended

Just looked on TripAdvisor for a good restaurant in Cologne and this came up. So with a group of 6 we visited it. We did not want to spent too much time on dinner but it had to be good, so one of the group ordered for us all. Only Mazza he ordered according to him. When the food came the complete table was full with all different small dishes and they were really good. We had almost finished when they served again the complete table with dishes, this was the main course. We did not expect this and it actually was too much. Recommend this restaurant for sure and the service is very good as well!

Amazing food and great price. Their tabbouleh was amazing!

Heerlijk Libanees eten. Klein, gezellig tentje. Het was er druk maar ze hadden gelukkig plek voor 2. Gerechten rond de 17 euro, niet te duur dus. Vriendelijk personeel.

Always worth a visit. Food, service and ambience, perfect. We were able to sit at our table before we made our reservation. If you visit Cologne, this restaurant is a very, very good recommendation.

My fattush tasted a lot like lemon, but maybe it has to be that way and I've only tasted softer versions so far, as far as I know. However, fast service, English menu also available

The factory was very bad, especially the teacher. We ordered two shawarma rolls and we sat at a table waiting for them to prepare the rolls. Some guy came and said why should you wait outside for them to prepare the dirtiest factory and the food was normal. You were the first time he came and this is the last time 😏

Excellent genuine food!! Great service. Well located in the old town of Cologne.

Piccolo ristorante in un vicolo vicino al reno. Ottima cucina con piatti abbondanti sempre serviti con del riso. Rapporto qualità/prezzo corretto. Non accettano carte di credito sotto i €30.

one of the best restaurants in Cologne. incredibly tasty meat and basically everything!

The staff was friendly, the food was absolutely gorgeous. Authentic Lebanese flavours and in true Lebanese fashion, abundant. I will be back next time I'm in cologne.

I've eaten there several times now. Unfortunately we live too far away to go there regularly. The food is super tasty and the price is absolutely right. Inconspicuous from the outside but perfect inside. And the location is perfect. A street parallel to the banks of the Rhine.

A wonderful experience. Excellent food. Homemade super delicious lemonade. Nice cozy restaurant. It's perfect💙

I really enjoy eating there. For me, everything is just right there. 😍

The worst restaurant ever i have been in my life its dirty and food is really bad

The food was very tasty and the service was great! :)

A relatively small but definitely fine restaurant in the old town of Cologne. The mixed starter plate would have been enough for two and was incredibly tasty. The service was good and the atmosphere matched the old town. Definitely recommended!

Really delicious and polite service

Super delicious! Not too crowded, even on a sunny (week) day at lunchtime. We had the vegetarian platter, the flatbread with cheese and a lentil soup, which is always served with plain bottled bread. Definitely enough for 2-3 people.

Very good food, in the afternoon we had to wait a while for a table, but it was worth it.

Honestly, delicious food, everything is fresh to eat, right food for my daughters, the support is nice

If I could give ZERO stars, I would! The employees were annoyed and unfriendly, the food was a complete disaster and doesn't deserve the name shawarma. The cold, already cut meat was warmed up in the microwave and put into a loaf of bread. Absolutely NOT recommended!

Excellent food....nice ...over many years quality not changed.

Worst food in the city. Too much expensive and taste is pathetic

The restaurant has great service and a great location The only drawback is that you cannot order the shawarma sandwich for local orders

Super delicious food with fresh ingredients. Always a pleasure!!!
