Emessa Cafe & Restaurant in Köln

The restaurant is very small, so I missed some, the prices are very expensive, and there is nothing to eat. By God, it is forbidden for anyone to go to such restaurants and pay such exaggerated amounts. Eating the buffets is bad.

Great for families with lively children.

The experience promises that people's reputation is superior, and the food is second to none. I cannot describe it more than that. I wish you success always, and thanks to all the employees. In fact, the meal restaurant was an open table for Ramadan breakfast, with a full buffet of ancient Syrian food.

Very nice shop, service is great, very nice. Rami is my personal favorite waiter, very friendly

The food, treatment and buffet are the best, and the generosity, God willing, is very excellent, encouraging and abundant

Rami best service restaurant everything possible delicious shisha's also at its best

Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (0 stars would be better if possible) Unfortunately, this Iftar buffet was a complete disappointment. When we arrived we had to wait in line for almost an hour just to get to the buffet. When we finally got there, a lot of things were already empty and weren't replenished in a timely manner. The organization was catastrophic - far too tight, so you were constantly tripping over other people. Additionally, shisha was smoked right next to us, which made the food and atmosphere even more unpleasant. After a long day of fasting, one expects a relaxed and well-organized iftar, but here the opposite was the case. Absolutely not recommended!

Seriously the worst experience I have ever had in a restaurant! It is impossible to celebrate it

The food is delicious and the sitting is sweet

First of all, if the world was not Ramadan, I would say things that do not suit me My experience is that we reached out to them and told them, “We will come.” They said, “Go ahead.” We arrived half an hour after breakfast. We arrived at the door. We said there was a table with people on it. You could sit there for ten minutes until another table opened. Of course, they told us that the table was large after we packed a plate so that we could break our breakfast into two pieces of yoghurt, two pieces of shawarma, and a spoonful of rice. Of course, the entire place is attached to a few tables, and no one knows who is with whom I was surprised that the table was for four people in the first place, and I was for three people The important thing is that we said let us appreciate the situation and sit down to eat and walk We couldn't because even the people we sat next to did not accept the situation. We got up to walk and told them we want to walk. What happened to us? He said you have to pay 60 euros, but since you didn't eat anything they paid only 50. This is my last and failed experience, and thank God it was the first because I took an hour or more to reach this place. Of course, it is not the insult that a person feels when he is forced to sit in such a place Until the food is renewed, you eat, and then you and your luck remain, or you don't catch up Even the organization is zero People are missing out on a Friday market, not a restaurant And also an advice: No one should believe the people in the advertisements because they are all liars and only care about the money they take. If anyone doubts what I say, please go and see with his own eyes You can review the cameras and see the whole story, audio and video

Super nice service team that fulfills all wishes and works from the heart. In addition, the food and prices are more than satisfactory. Always happy to be with you :)

Frankly speaking, the food is excellent, very delicious and clean, and the service is excellent, especially the young man, God willing, he is present everywhere. My regards to teacher Obi.

The food is very delicious and tastes very good although the waiting time is not long but it is worth it. I recommend it 👌

The food is amazing and the service couldn't be better. We will definitely come back

Nice togetherness and delicious food!

Very tasty food for a good price

I live in Aachen, but today I was in Ostheim - Cologne. I was very hungry and looked online for a restaurant where you could get half chicken. Then came the Emessa Restaurant. The food was very tasty, perfectly seasoned and just great 👌🏾 Service was very polite. I was served very well. It just took a while for the food to arrive, but the place was full. Good price

Everything was amazing and the best time I ate shawarma But I didn't like the fish

Top service, delicious food and very friendly staff. Gladly again!

Delicious food, nice team and cozy atmosphere

Thanks for the wonderful service

The best culinary experience I had in Germany Highly recommended🫡 Especially when dealing with the waiter Obay

Very good service and the food was great.

The food is very good and the shisha is wonderful

The best restaurant in all of Germany. Thank you for the service, food and food 🫶♥️

This is a great place to eat in Restaurant Emessa. This war is expensive, this atmosphere will generate them, and this service will be in the class. There are many other things that he has with Kellner Rami - he is a foreigner, a professional and a professional. This excellent service has never been so old. I can't eat the restaurant and we are here! My experience at Emessa restaurant was amazing. The food was delicious, the ambiance was very cozy, and the service was excellent. I would especially like to thank the waiter Rami, he was very kind, attentive and professional. His wonderful service made our visit even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this restaurant and I will definitely be back!

Mega delicious and everyone is super nice too

A great restaurant. We came here because of the outstanding google reviews. Upon arrival, we were skeptical if it was going to hold up. All doubts vanished quickly after the food came though, because it was absolutely delicious! I can not recommend the food enough. Really traditional, authentic cuisine. We had the grill plate, as well as an olive salad and the chicken shawarma. Everything was more than we had hoped for.

The food is good, nothing to say But I hope you review the order with the customer at the time of payment. They always charge an additional ten euros, approximately, and I don’t know why This is the second time, but someone is ashamed to talk again

The service was excellent and the prices were fair. Our order took a little longer, but it was definitely worth the wait - the food was incredibly tasty, simply 10/10! I also liked the shisha and cocktails.

I swear to God, the most delicious seating, service and food

Honestly, the food is excellent, very tasty and clean, and the workers are very nice, but the prices are a little expensive

Very tasty food, great service, totally cozy and relaxed

I liked the food at Emessa. I can particularly recommend the half grilled chicken with rice as a side dish - even if it was a bit dry in places. The tabbouleh salad was also very tasty and fresh. We sat outside, which was generally pleasant. However, a heater behind me wasn't working, which made it pretty cold. I would like to see more attention from the staff here. Overall, a good restaurant with delicious food – I would love to come back!

The food, service and hospitality are very worthy. I advise you to try their food. I recommend it from the experience of someone who traveled 6 hours.

The food is very good and I advise everyone to try this restaurant Sitting is very relaxing and crazy The service is better than anywhere you have tried I am coming from a far place for 6 hours, especially here, and it is exactly as they say, “Hat sich gelohnt”

The food is very good and flavorful everywhere The service is amazing. Thank you very much

Very tasty food, friendly staff and very attentive, I can only recommend it

Very tasty food and a nice atmosphere.. I would come again :)

Nice Place, delicious food, good shisha

Nice service and great atmosphere, I also liked the food and there is a lot to choose from

A lot of good food, a nice atmosphere, and a good shisha

Rami is a very nice friendly waiter who is very happy!

I was there for a few days and have to say: Yes, the food was really good, but unfortunately there was far too much bread on the plate and not enough meat. Special requests were taken into account, but only partially (I didn't want any onions in my food, but wanted some other vegetables. I got more vegetables, but still onions). The waiting time was immensely long, we probably waited around 25-35 minutes. Unfortunately, the interior was very loud, narrow and noisy, but the staff was always busy and quick. However, one thing is questionable: There is an open patio heater in the interior, this was also noticed by other people and a person next to me said that you definitely have to call the public order office here. The risk of carbon monoxide poisoning is low because the door to the outside was always open, which meant that an immensely cold, unpleasant wind blew in, but I don't want to imagine what would happen if it did happen and the door was closed, because This patio heater does not have a vent.

Super tasty, very nice service and good advice!

And yes guys, the shop is amazing and the food is excellent. Our beloved Rami, thank you very much for the wonderful service 👍🏼

Very tasty food and friendly service team, I would recommend it again and again. We'll definitely come back See you soon ;)

The food is really delicious and I feel like I'm in Damascus.

It was my first experience with the restaurant..to be honest, everything was fine and good and there was no mistake..the service was fast and the guys were very nice and elegant...will come again, God willing😃

Food was very good, staff very friendly, gladly again 😄

super nice staff, great service can only be recommended ❤️

The shawarma is too delicious, always after school and it's so hot

Very tasty food. Good staff. Perfect👍

God willing, there is nothing better than this

I came from Belhika and I highly recommend this place. It is very wonderful, with great seating and a warm and quiet atmosphere. They have many options for all tastes and their food is good and generous. Above all, the price in relation to the quality is very reasonable and cheap. The treatment from everyone is kind and they make you feel that you are invited to them. All the best and success 🤍

All those who did well.. May God bless them

Everything was very tasty. Service also good.

**Very disappointing** We recently visited Emessa Cafe & Resturant and had an extremely negative experience. In one hour we spent over €200 on our meal, we were asked to leave the restaurant without warning, supposedly because of other customers. This treatment was completely inappropriate and disrespectful. We were looking forward to a pleasant evening and were instead disappointed. We will avoid this restaurant in the future and unfortunately cannot recommend it.

The service does not make anyone feel like the bowl of soup is lost. Those who work, but the service, feel that they are awake from sleep, but their pajamas are lost. I ordered a meal with a bit of a problem. Honestly, the quality of the food is zero, bad in every sense of the word, and the price is expensive. The cleanliness, and even the toilet, is very dirty, an experience that frankly cannot be repeated.

Syrian cuisine of a special kind! Something for all tastes! Service and food impeccable👍 Thanks for the experience👌🏽

"We were in your restaurant today and we were thrilled! The food was simply excellent - every dish was a pleasure. The service was also extremely friendly and attentive, we felt completely at home. Thank you for this great evening, we'll be happy to come back! "

Everything is perfect and the food is absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is very cute.

Disrespectful, rude receipts are not provided.

25th December is busier than usual the service is good The shisha is good as well The food was overcooked but they changed the food straight away

Sitting is nice and eating is good

Get the best service from Rami ❤️

Habibi rami did the best service ❤️

Received nice service from Rami. Restaurant top.

Abu Al-Reem is the best restaurant worker. You had a very nice stay and the food was good. We recommend it

The food is clean and the taste is normal, grilled, and we ordered awsal, kebab, mandi, half chicken, and salad! The service is good but the prices are expensive!! I went to an Iranian and Italian restaurant and we ordered many things, but they did not come at the same price, 180 euros, the last time I came to them ✋🏽

Das Essen ist super top und die Mitarbeiter sind sehr nett 100/100

Everything is amazing, with its origins and the taste 👌 The young people treated us very nicely

The food is very good The service and ambiance are top

The food was delicious, fresh and beautifully served. The service was friendly and quick, special requests were fulfilled immediately. Overall, a completely successful experience.

It's terrible, all of you, no, leave them alone

It's a very short time for a restaurant like this to be able to get a good rating for everything. By God, when I went for the first time, the restaurant was very excellent. Thank you for the excellent service and good food.

The food, both Eastern and Western, is very good...and the service is amazing

Food was delicious, fresh and large portions. Definitely recommended. Great space for families and children. We enjoyed it.

Amazing food and very good shisha. Definitely would recommend this place

Best food, best service and best Rami Habibi.

Honestly, it is the best Syrian Arab restaurant in Köln, Germany. Sorry, I was not able to photograph the atmosphere because it is all families. We thank Mr. Obi, Omar, and Malik.

A great discovery! The food was excellent and the portions were generous. A unique taste experience. We'll definitely be back.

The grills, qashati, and kibbeh are all perfect...the fatayer of all kinds has improved, and the shawarma is good, but we expect still better from you...the seating is nice and the service guys are amazing.

Good food, nice seating, and great service I hope you pay more attention to cleanliness, especially the bathrooms
