Cham Restaurant in Köln

I have to say that I have eaten there several times even though the employees treat people very badly On October 28th, 2024 I ordered shawarma for the evening which arrived cold with completely broken packaging I called the store and complained. Instead of coming to meet me, he asked me what he should do with his poor knowledge of German and hung up And what I also have to say is that their guest toilet is extremely dirty, even the cat toilet in my house is cleaner than their toilet

Nice food, great prices, awkward delivery but overall ok

The little guy who sits at the checkout 24/7 is a big disaster... he is very unfriendly and disrespectful!! If this restaurant lost customers, this guy would 100% be the main reason!!!!

Food really tasty. Dorade was really good. Grilled plate, enough sauces included, super tasty salads on top, without me having ordered them. Will definitely order from you again and at such a late time, thank you :-* Food came absolutely on time, thank you for that. Fries should be crispier, the rest should be first class.

There is nothing better than this, the best world, I swear

Everything was great, the food was excellent

The food is good and delicious And the service is fast And the prices are reasonable

Order was never delivered. The driver allegedly couldn't stop at the address and he didn't have time. Although two people were already waiting outside, no driver was ever seen. Both the driver and the contact person in the restaurant were very unfriendly and didn't try to find a solution.

Food was simply bottomless. Unfortunately delivery time was too long, but that could be excused for being on a Friday evening. Food simply thrown into the box. way too dry and really not tasty. Fries are inedible. First and last time we ordered there

Ordered multiple times. It was either really good or just disappointing. So unfortunately it's always a gamble what you get, so I won't order anymore, in places it was really inedible.

Literally almost had to beat me for my food because he had three orders and wouldn't bring my food up to the second floor The little 1.50 man with the donkey teeth immediately stressed me out If I see it again and he reacts like that, I'll have to straighten his tie Really disrespectful treatment in general Ran away again with my food even though I had given a tip. I had to discuss with him whether a bill with a small tear could still be used because it was over 50% fine, just a very small tear He woke up my neighbors at night

The kitchen is a mess from inexperienced people

A wonderful place, the food is prepared quickly and the taste is very, very good

May God bless them. The food is good. I tried the meat shawarma and kibbeh and they were good, the meat was clean and the prices were reasonable.

God willing, nothing wrong with you, one of the best restaurants. I wish there was a branch in Dortmund. May God increase you and provide for you. Seriously, since the days of Syria, I have not eaten such food, and the meat shawarma in particular is one of the best. You deserve all the best. Leave it like this. Best regards

Once I ate it, that was my last time shopping. Never again

The food is really incredibly good. I myself am of Arabic origin and it tastes sooo great! The driver was so nice too. I ordered quite late and it was still delivered. We chatted briefly at the door. Such a warm person. So, the food and the people behind it are absolutely top! 💗

Unfortunately, the shop is terribly dirty, the bathrooms are disgusting, and the food is even worse. By God, it is forbidden in Najma.

A beautiful and wonderful restaurant. The meals are delicious and the service is very excellent and fast. I recommend it The David family

One of the best and most beautiful restaurants I visited in Cologne The meals were very delicious and the treatment was very kind and friendly and he was quick to fulfill requests. I recommend him and I will repeat my visit to Colin in order to go to this restaurant. Special thanks to Ahmed The David family

The food is very good, the atmosphere is wonderful, the prices are very reasonable, and the Arabic seating refreshes the soul. The service is more than wonderful.

The food is very good, everything is broasted grilled shawarma, and the treatment is very nice

Very good best restaurant Good luck.

The restaurant is very great, the food is delicious and the service is good.

I had the starter variation of Baba Ganush, too much liquid smoke and as far as I know it included pomegranate seeds as a topping, which unfortunately was missing. Hummus was okay (feel free to use more cumin). Shawaram chicken was as dry as a desert.

A little more “love” needs to go to the store. What you love, you care for!

Food is ok.. Prices are so expensive.. Half a chicken costs €12.5

The best food...and the sweetest treatment...seriously 5-star service 😍 Of course, it is not a loss at all to take a 4-hour journey to come to you 💐

Very expensive, very bad work, and bad servants

Delay in orders Bad behavior and lack of cleanliness is an experience that I do not recommend

Food was delicious! The rice and lamb are really good, however, not a big fan of the salad. Service was okay, love that you can pay with card now.

Tastes great. Employees are very friendly and you can sit outside. Highly recommended

The place to sit on the terrace was very nice, Suitable for families and children.

super nice and flexible! We subsequently ordered by phone and received everything as requested

Has potential. The frying oil has to be changed the taste and smell of the fried chicken was pretty bad

I ordered via Lieferando at 3:14, for whatever reason the food took over an hour to arrive cold. Fries were wobbly and inedibly salty or simply dry. Sarma was absolutely terrible never having eaten anything so disgusting. Unfortunately, I have to say that the chicken was disappointing. Overall, the food was a disaster and my bread was also forgotten. Unfortunately I can't understand the good reviews.

Doesn't taste good at all and is very expensive

I bought food and went home, opened it, filled it with garbage, ate oil and thyme, and called the restaurant and calmly told him what had happened. The least I expected was that he would compensate me for the right to eat, but to be honest, he did not fall short and told me the next time I would compensate you for it, because Irfan will no longer enter the restaurant if I want to eat pork. May God not forgive you for 65 euros.

The food was very tasty 😋 and the beautiful seating in the yard was like in nature

In years, this is the first restaurant I noticed that they serve the customer to the fullest extent and more than their duty, frankly. Honestly, I was surprised by the amount of negative comments because I went to them from a far away place. There is nothing wrong with the negative comments I read. They deserve more than 5 stars Food: (This is the first time I eat shawarma in Germany, as if I were eating half of Syria) Cleanliness: second to none The atmosphere: the songs, the top of the porch, and the sitting are very Syrian Service: Super wow We were served by a young man named (Ahmed), who has no natural morals and ethics and loves his work (All the best to Al-Sham Restaurant Group)

Had 1/2 chicken with fattoush salad and lentil soup. The 1/2 chicken was a bit over salted and dry, not as juicy as you would expect. It's a shame, I wouldn't order the dish again. Unfortunately, the Fattoush salad wasn't very tasty either, as it wasn't seasoned with fresh mint, lemon juice or pomegranate syrup. That's what makes a real fattoush so delicious. My salad consisted of tomato, cucumber, parsley and toasted bread. Without dressing such as salt and pepper. I gave it 2 stars because overall it wasn't well prepared but it was fresh. The lentil soup was delicious. A classic with a curry note.

For a while it was the best Syrian in Kalk, but now it's often no longer tasty. Some of the bread wasn't even baked through.

Very tasty and great atmosphere, there's a lot I don't know but the shop has a garden and you can just eat in the garden in the summer

Rude basterd employee. Doesn't get food even though one. I asked for it several times, it's just two types of meat! No idea what that is?! + wrong drink! I cannot understand this disgusting behavior!

I'm sorry but really unclean. You are disgusted by the tables and the floor. The food wasn't anything special but you could eat it.

Please pay attention to general hygiene

We ordered food. 1X pommdöner for 7€ children's portion, and a kebab. The meat was drier than hay.

Food doesn't taste good at all! Never again

Very tasty, original Syrian, inexpensive

ATTENTION: VERY DIRTY!!! It's unbelievable how dirty the place is. Floor completely dirty, chairs as well, tables too and damaged in several places. I wanted to turn my plate the right way, my hands were full of oil because the bottom was full of oil and fat. No napkin at the table, flies in the restaurant, several unconnected bundles of cables on the walls. The food gets 2 out of 5 stars because it was too dry. NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL!!!i

Have to wait 1 and a half hours for my food

I don't know where to start... When we came in we had to wait 15 minutes for a waitress to push the tables together because we were there in a group of 8 people. Up to this point everything is still partly acceptable. When we were able to sit down, it seemed to us that it was colder inside than outside and after asking the staff several times to turn on the heating, they just ostentatiously said it was already on. Too bad we were sitting right next to a heater...which, by the way, was ice cold. After the food was served and we had almost finished eating, one of the employees came and told us that we should leave because there were still people waiting outside who also wanted to sit. With food in our mouths we finally went to the checkout and wanted to pay. To our great positive surprise, we only paid €70 instead of €110. So they are not able to do math either. Because 2 grill plates, 2 crispy plates, 1 falafel plate, 2 shawarma plates, 1 shish tawouk plate, 2x grape leaves, and 9 drinks are, I think, more than 70€... But that's not our problem. We tried the store and learned not to visit it again.

Nothing special. The restaurant could be more clean. The floor was sticky and wet. The chair covers were really dirty and looked like they were never washed. We ordered peppermint tea, but the wrong tea was brought, and then we were told that the tea we had ordered wasn't available. (Could have been informed when ordering😕) The food was okay, but because there was music playing all the time and people talking, the store was very loud.

Great Arab food, best charcoal grilled chicken in cologne by far, a very wide menu and a very nice terrace in the back..we didn't have to sit in Kalkar Straße directly.. instead we sat inside and Food-Price-Quality is like a perfect love triangle there... highly recommend.. unfortunately I forgot to take pictures as we finished the food in a minute😋 but check it out.. also available on Lieferando but the restaurant is really worth the visit.Tip: try Charcoal grilled Kibbeh😋

I recently ordered food and was thoroughly impressed. The kebab was impeccably cooked, tender and perfectly seasoned. The delivery service was exceptional; the driver was incredibly friendly and punctual. It's obvious that the food was prepared with care and love. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious, quality meals delivered with a smile. بارك الله في عملك وزاده من البركات

A warning to all human beings, how do you meet the Lord of the Worlds? And she is selling something like this Eating the tampon is garbage Fear God, this is a forbidden thing to be sold. We ordered broasted, the smell of rancidity, and the exhalation is not normal, something that takes the breath away. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures.

It's strange that you're not allowed to pay with a card, what does that mean please?

The food was, for the most part, delicious. 3 stars because of poor cleanliness

Super tasty shawarma. I'm not actually a big shawarma fan, but luckily this place was recommended to me. Eat here regularly. Tastes very tasty.

Ordered around 1:00 a.m. on a Thursday evening and the food arrived within 25 minutes. Warm, tasty and a portion that filled me up👌👌 The driver was super friendly, even though he had to walk to the top floor for us at that time 😊👌

Very tasty shawarma, crunchy bread, fresh meat

Nostalgic and you were no longer in Germany. Completely different vibe and you can't help but love it. The employees were all nice and wanted to determine our satisfaction. The atmosphere is also quiet and very pleasant. You can just give it 5 stars.

Even one star is too much for you. 1. Customer is written in very small letters here. They don't even pay attention to the fact that you're a customer there, they scream at each other and your food doesn't taste good either. 2. The owner said himself, I didn't ask you to come here. What a cheek. Not recommended, rather eat somewhere else and enjoy a bit

Very tasty food 😋😋😋 Service very nice

I've tried almost every type of food here! And that's exactly how my reviews describe it. Kebab doesn't taste good! Schwarma was tasty..cleanliness not good.. Staff weren't friendly either... They're funny guys... That's why I give it 3 stars...

Very bad service. Bad food, bad experience

2 stars for everything. The food tasted good but it wasn't fantastic. The food was super cold.

Very bad, the food is greedy and not good at all. The potatoes are old and the tabbouleh does not contain bulgur

2.5 hours, 3 calls, empty promises. Now the second time.

We ordered charcoal grilled chicken and received the order after an hour and a half He said because of the noise As long as in. Don't tell the world about my travels about us We paid 30 euros for all the chicken, an appetizer of pita and potatoes, which will never be eaten Zero service

I ordered something today and it said it would be delivered at an hour and it took me two hours and I had to wait the whole time and the bad thing was that I had to get up so early the other day And the meat wasn't fried that well

Dirty restaurant And the food is normal The accountant is a thief who increases several euros every time

The food is not good at all, there is no cleanliness, and the pictures are not the reality. Unfortunately, it was a bad experience

Very bad, I don't recommend it, I was there for 2 hours and got nothing

Very bad treatment!!!!! Whoever comes last gets first If you don't keep asking, you won't get the request Unfortunately, after 8 people waited for a full hour, we left without eating because they did not start eating!!!! I do not recommend at all!!!!

Very poor service and lack of organization.

I seriously ordered food, it was disgusting, I swear the chicken was black, I swear animals don't eat it See more

We occasionally order from Cham and are always very satisfied. Clear recommendation! 👍

Food arrived cold, no understanding from the delivery person and brushing it off on the phone. If you cannot rely on deliveries with UberEats, then you should not cooperate with them. Otherwise the food was dry, unseasoned and tasteless.

Delicious Syrian food, friendly service, absolutely inexpensive!

Fast delivery, everything was still warm. Shawarma and falafel sandwich were okay

A delicious plate of falafel, haloumi and homus in this great restaurant in Cologne Kalk. On the occasion of Ramadan there are also Arabic sweets there. Service is really great. The food came quickly and most importantly, very tasty.

I've never eaten such bad food. Everything was dry and the shawarma is just a dry piece of bread with dry meat inside and collapses. disgusting

The restaurant is clean, this is the main evaluation criterion. Cozy, the menu is huge and affordable and very tasty, the value is very joyful. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I recommend this small restaurant to other clients. Average check 12.5 euros.

We were in this beautiful city passing through on business, we wanted to have lunch somewhere, in general the children liked this restaurant, or rather its name at first. It’s a Saturday afternoon, the restaurant is busy, not a single free table was found, but the restaurant administrator, very polite and friendly, immediately responded to our visit and, like an oriental hospitable person, said under no circumstances will I let you go like that, you are our dear guests!! Just 5 minutes and there will be a wonderful table free for you, this really happened. The food is simply a masterpiece, for every taste, the atmosphere is cozy, the restaurant is clean, there is no noise, the toilets for women and men are very clean and have a pleasant smell. The guys are not petty, they said a lot of things, this treat is at the expense of the establishment. The prices are very very affordable, which is very important for a large family. Of course, I will be very happy to visit this restaurant again if I am in the city of Cologne again. My youngest son usually eats little, but this time he really surprised us, he ate from the heart, he said he really liked this restaurant, despite the fact that he had seen better ones in terms of the number of stars in different cities and countries. Of course, after all this, I am forced to recommend this restaurant to other people and I will say thank you, everything was wonderful, we still have good impressions and memories, good luck.

Everything was great and original Aleppo food

You say I am making a sandwich and the shop owner comes and tells the worker two minutes and gives the sandwich behind the table... Frankly, it is not a natural lack of taste and the sandwich is like dough even though I told him I want it toasted... Repentance 👎🏻👎🏻

The food is delicious and everyone is friendly. I would recommend this restaurant.

The food is delicious. And all the workers are very friendly

I was there for dinner and unfortunately I will never go there again. The food was very bad and didn't taste good at all, and as a reward I also got food poisoning. Syrian cuisine is very rich and usually tastes excellent, but unfortunately not in this restaurant. Unfortunately one star is also too many.

Very good food and service for that price

Unfortunately, I want to write this because most Arab restaurants are excellent at first and then fall into disrepair. I usually walk more than fifty kilometers just to eat at Sham Restaurant. After the last time on Sunday, February 25, 2024, I was forbidden to eat here. The taste of the shawarma was extremely rancid and Two hours after eating, I became ill and felt irritable (most likely the garlic had been removed until this happened to me) I wish you the best and I hope you take care of your food a little.

It was better (at the beginning) 6 years ago

Today I got an incredibly bad kebab with supposedly veal to take away, ate it and was annoyed about it all day. The kebab definitely tasted like fish. The ingredients are all a bit old and everything is almost cold. The pricing is very unclear. The staff was only moderately friendly and the store seemed very untidy and unclean somehow. This review is not the only one with a star - many guests have already complained. There must be something to it. In any case, I was incredibly disappointed and didn't want to let it go like that.

Had it delivered twice and both times the food was thrown away. Food completely cold (restaurant is about 500m away lol), fries were cold and some were still raw and not seasoned. I was there between deliveries to pick up something for myself. Here the shawarma roll was perfect, but even though I took the food straight away, the fries were again cold and not properly fried and again not seasoned. The restaurant also looks like a warehouse, but well, I won't go there anymore anyway.

The tabbouleh was beyond description, very good and it came first thing that made us encouraged, but unfortunately we were shocked by the rest of the food, the kebab containing small pieces of bone. It looks like the meat is grinding the lamb as it is, and the wings are well seasoned, but not well done, and the Arabic shawarma is somewhat good, but there is something bitter in it. Lemon peel or lemon juice. I tried to find out what happened to me In general, the situation is good compared to the cheap prices. Do not expect better quality than this

Vor 3 Jahren war der Laden noch auf einem anderen Stand. Heute kann ich ihn auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen! Top Shawarma und Falafel 😊

أكتر مطعم مقرف شفتو بحياتي من يومين وصيت من عندن صندويشات شاورما ومن بعدها رحت ع المشفى لانو تسممت ما بنصح أي حدا ياكل من عندن طبعا غير قرف المطعم الأكل عندن دايما بايت وقديم

Essen war sehr lecker kann ich nir empfehlen und die lieferung war sehr schnell

Ich habe das Restaurant mehr als einmal besucht, das Essen ist gut und die Preise sind angemessen
