Habibi Köln in Köln

Unfortunately, the third time I got a shawrama from the microwave

Very good food at such an affordable price. However: (1) you can only pay by cash and (2) one of the guys was rude, he said in German: Don’t order food and eat it here when you see that there aren’t any seats. Well, sir, it’s my first time to go to this restaurant and I would like to try the full experience. I was also willing to wait until there is an available spot. — I didn’t say that though but it was what I had in mind

Habibi is really cool place with very nice people. I love the movie posters on the ceiling and the way you decorated the restaurant. My schwarma roll was delicious and very inexpensive. If you grill the bread of the shawarma roll a little more it would be perfect.

The best falafel place in Köln. My favorite is Haluf - halumi-falfel. Service is fast, and pleasant, very affordable. Bring some cash tho! Every recommendation!

We often order the party platter here for private and corporate events. Recently, we ordered the platter for 20 people for 18 people, and it was more than enough. It's always incredibly delicious, and individual requests are also accommodated. Personally, I don't like the meat that much, but I love the falafel. They're incredibly delicious!

Bland Lebanese food. Cheap for sure but the execution is as well in the same range. Hummus is not worth trying. Falafel was the only thing I liked on the plate.

The food is mediocre and they tryed twice to scam us with the price. If we wouldnt be on alert and making the sum on our own, they would have charge us extra for the food and also give on purpose, wrong our change. Since they do not accept card payment neither give a recipe.

Reheated cold in the microwave. Hard meat.

Get almost completely cold meat out of the microwave

I have always appreciated the store because of the fair price-performance ratio. Last week I spontaneously ordered a falafel wrap to take away. The staff were unfriendly and the quality of the falafel was disappointing. The filling consisted mainly of crunchy (very heavily fried) 'casing'. No trace of a normally fluffy chickpea dough. Too bad :/

Amazingly tasty, chicken is so good

Do you just want to grab something to eat? Then go there, it's fine. However, eating inside is not recommended, everyone is relatively unfriendly if you are not a regular customer. Toilet also costs extra, even for customers.

The food at this falafel restaurant used to be very tasty, but now the quality has deteriorated significantly. The dishes no longer taste good and the service is extremely poor. Unfortunately no longer recommended.

Great food and a very relaxed atmosphere

It was our first time eating there. Totally delicious, super nice people and a really great shop. We're not coming!

I ordered a party place. It was just really tasty and beautifully prepared. I ordered one for 15 for 11 people and there was something left over. Since there was nothing else and everyone was extremely hungry, I assume that 15 is really enough for 15 and 10 for 10 etc :) In addition, my order was accepted the same day because I misunderstood something, which I think is very nice :) Thank you again!

Geht gar nicht Chalamet aus der Mikrowelle Keine Ahnung, warum dieser Laden so gute Bewertungen hat matschig ist Fleisch matschig, matschig matschig. Ich muss hier ein paar Zeilen füllen. Beschissen ist geprahlt. Die Hälfte des Chaw Shammas hab ich in den Müll geschmissen.

Outrageously cheap and yet delicious, fresh, high quality. Incredibly good!!

The best falafel I know! Also great: the party platter for at home, now also with a taxi delivery service, great!

Super tasty, highly recommended!

YES YES YES quick and very good 🙌🏻

We had a platter for 15 people. Everything was prepared fresh and on time, ran very smoothly and tasted excellent.

Molto gentili e accoglienti posto molto bello e pulito cibo squisito carne al top e personale molto bravo con i clientii

Oriental feeling with friendly service and delicious Lebanese food.. thank you

We had 2 plates delivered to us. Very very tasty. I would also like to eat there sometime

I love this shop - like on vacation - my little world - the food is really very tasty

The food tastes really good, but there is sometimes a long waiting time. “Known customers” are given priority and are allowed to go straight through, which is why I am deducting a few stars.

One of the best falafels in the city, juicy, crispy and with lots of herbs and spices. The shawarma is also super tasty. Perfect if you want to eat something delicious quickly. Unfortunately, I have been billed incorrectly late in the evening on weekends or at carnival several times and have been charged significantly more.

Super tasty falafel in a quaint, crowded restaurant

Perfection : The food, price, decorations, kind cuistos ( best falafel ever)

My favorite snack in Cologne. Rarely have I had such a great falafel plate. Good basis for soldering one in afterwards. I hope I can eat here again soon. Great people, great food!

the employees are friendly and on the ball! nice atmosphere, creative decor & delicious food.

Nice shop, food was delicious, I can only recommend it

Very salty and low quality food, in addition to the bad-tempered character of some employees. Unfortunately

Was one of my favorite shops when I was a student... It's still tasty, but the sandwiches hardly have any content compared to before... it's a shame...

Delicious, healthy food prepared quickly. Staff was very kind.

It's just so incredibly delicious

The food is super delicious! Very fair prices. Great employees!

Delicious food, authentic cuisine, pleasant ambience, fast service!

I paid 23 euros for 8 falafel and 8 pieces of halloumi with hummus and some parsley salad. I found it pretty cheeky

Went there spontaneously, ordered shawarma and hash, fresh ingredients, very tasty, definitely recommended.

Excellent food and value for money! Every time we go to Cologne we try to go.

Cheap full plate of good food: babaganoush, hummus, meat, pickles and all. Tastes really good, the place is quite small and crowded so maybe not date material, though

Great food ! sorry forgot to take pic before devouring it :(

Landed here by chance...best falafel of my 45 year old life so far...Good stuff...keep it up👍👍👍 I'll be back...I guess tomorrow 😆

Sociable, excellent value, good food in an Interesting area of the city. Worth the walk.

Super lecker, alles frisch zubereitet Grosse Portionen. Freundliches Personal . Preise sind sehr fair. Für jeden Geschmack was dabei auch fleischlos. Kommen jetzt öfters.👍

Despite my great love for hummus and falafel, I haven't been able to visit this Cologne institution yet. An incredibly good smell greets you as soon as you enter this restaurant. Very simple, but more than authentic. You feel like you've been catapulted into a completely different world. The staff also extremely friendly. I ordered the Kölschen plate. This includes hummus, falafel, shawarma, carrots, tomatoes, cucumber and tabbouleh. The falafel and tabbouleh deserve special mention. Incredibly delicious. Hard to beat. It's hard to question your own production and recipe. However, what disappointed me a little was the shawarma and especially the hummus. The former could have been seasoned a little better. Hummus, on the other hand, was not to my taste at all. It lacked tahini, cumin and lemon juice. This results in a point deduction. Otherwise, this store is extremely recommended. I'll try out more dishes on my next visit and hope that I can finally give it my five stars.

Best shawarma in Cologne. Iconic Lebanese with great service. Free welcome tea, even for customers eating out. Top

Definitely the best falafel rolls in town!! The staff is super friendly and the furnishings are also very comfortable and interesting :) always a pleasure

I know this place is popular and all that, but this is my personal opinion. We ordered 2 Makali Schawarma and they were teeny tiny compared to other Schawarma places. There was barely any sauce, no spicy sauce (what a huge shame). The person selling didn't even bother asking us for special requests or anything :/ (normally in other stores, they'd ask if you dont want any ingredients, if you want it spicy or not). It was loud and chaotic there as well. I personally don't like this place. I prefer Zülpicher Döner or Anya (near Hansaring).

I enjoyed both the food and the design of the restaurant. They offer delicious shawarma and falafel at a reasonable price. The location is also very convenient, just a five-minute walk from Zülpicher Platz station.

The Lebanese restaurant is really an insider tip, great and delicious Lebanese food at an absolutely fair price

Hey Habibi, you managed to get me to write my very first review. And I don't like doing that. I'm self-employed and find it really difficult when you're publicly pilloried. I had a bad review myself a while ago. But I used this to think about my performance and optimize it. I hope that my comment encourages you, because we would like to come back and eat delicious food with you like we have done in recent years. I don't even want to comment on the atmosphere or the customers, because you either like it or you don't. But the hygienic conditions cannot actually be put into words. And I'm not picky. I thought about posting the photos I took here, but that would just be too much. Some of the vegetables in the counter are superimposed, mushy and black moldy. We lived in the Middle East for a long time. What kind of hummus was that?? Stretched with yogurt and other indefinable things. The falafel were totally dry and tasted really bad. And the meat crumbly and burnt. The vegetables we didn't eat were dripping with oil, yes they are fried vegetables, but the slices were so thin of vegetables that the oil just ran down. The bread basket was dirty and therefore the last slice was completely soggy. Unfortunately we already have stomach problems and Abu Ishal sends his regards tonight. We will definitely try it again, but my recommendation is: just take a good look at the vegetables before you order. Sorry Habibi, but please do better.

Legendary! You have to experience it!

Cool shop with friendly staff, iconic decor, fair prices and very tasty food. Always happy to come here :)

In the evening we went to a shawarma in the village, cheap and really tasty, certainly the best in terms of price and performance, but the real highlight was the following morning when we were looking for an Arabic breakfast. When we arrived in the village there was fresh juice As much flatbread as we wanted and large full plates with hummus, vegetables, fatu, etc. Absolutely brilliant and now a must visit when I'm in Cologne again Thanks Wasseb for the great service!!

Great place to grab something quick and eat! Halloumi was delicious! I think it's okay for the price.

The Habibi Restaurant in Cologne is known for its delicious oriental cuisine and its lively, relaxed atmosphere. The diverse mezze platters, which are prepared with fresh ingredients and authentic spices, are particularly popular. Guests particularly praise the warm hospitality and fast service. The decor is simple but cozy, which clearly puts the focus on the food. An ideal place for a casual dinner with friends or a relaxed date. Particularly recommended for lovers of Levantine cuisine.

I had dinner here and I really enjoyed it. The falafel and mezze were very tasty. The atmosphere was relaxed and I had a nice time with my friends. The staff were friendly and that made the experience even more enjoyable

Delicious falafel. Super friendly.

A very good restaurant in Cologne. The food is authentic. The ambience is great. The price-performance ratio is phenomenal. All dishes are very tasty. I would recommend the restaurant at any time.

Price-performance = 10 out of 10 Simply always very tasty. You will never be disappointed.

It was an incredibly bad experience. We didn't like it at all and we left hungry. Dirty place and employees were indifferent

My favourite place for falafel and shoarma plates. Very affordable and friendly service. A relaxing atmosphere with a cup of cinnamon tea or fresh orange juice. A good choice for vegetarians.

Very tasty Lebanese food, super freshly prepared. Most of the food here is take-away, but there are also a few tables if you want to eat on site. It's always full, but it goes very quickly. There is only self-service. You can also order large plates for several people here and they will then be delivered to your home. Great price performance!

Very tasty and friendly. Prices great... a plate with everything on it around 10 euros

Shittiest and most expensive falafel ever Doesn't taste good at all

Burnt tasteless falafels And too expensive at that I won't recommend

Lively and culturally rich ambience. And most important? Best Ishtar in Germany

The food was delicious and the menu was diverse.

Brutally! The food simply tastes traditional, the service is friendly and the decoration is very pleasant. I was with my wife, child and dog and am more than satisfied.

Very unfriendly staff! The food is horrible, not tasty and definitely not the taste of lebanese food since i am Lebanese. I am very disappointed with the falafel and the shawarma. If you are looking for Lebanese food its definitely not the right place

Super delicious food, fair prices, nice staff and a unique ambience. A small personal highlight: the decoration reflects the different religions, languages ​​and cultures in the Middle East. This togetherness is touching... Especially in these times.

Bread is not toasted and simply tasteless. You can also make it at home.

Delicious food, fast service and interesting interior design. We tried shawarma in bread and falafel in bread. Both tasted super delicious. A portion only costs €3.50, but it's not too big - I'd say it's a good snack for in between meals. Everything has to go quickly when ordering, as the guests are processed quickly due to the high number of walk-in customers. But the order is prepared very quickly.

Before you carelessly rate someone with a low number of stars, you obviously have to look at the big picture. It is a simple, Arabic snack bar that is obviously no longer run by the previous operator and is located on a busy street with a strong student population. The prices are correspondingly low and the portions are relatively large. In my opinion, this is where the many 4 and 5 star reviews come from. Nevertheless, I have to rate the food fairly and unfortunately state that I didn't like it. It wasn't really bad, just tasteless. I had a falafel plate, which was filling but didn't make me happy. Where was the sesame sauce, where were the spices, the yogurt dip made with mint, etc.? The hummus was supposed to take over this part, at least that's what its consistency suggested. Loveless bits of tomato and cucumber were added to something mixed with parsley and couscous. Sorry, that could be much better and therefore only 2 stars. Please put 50 cents into a little more sophistication and I'm happy to pay 2 euros more for the falafel plate.

Visitamos este lugar después de leer los comentarios en Tripadvisor y estuvo a la altura de los comentarios. Buena comida y buen gusto. La relación calidad-precio y las porciones son generosas. 3 comidas deben ser suficientes para una familia de 4 con niños. Vendría aquí de nuevo. El problema de un minuto es que la carne estaba un poco alta en sal para mi gusto.

Tiny. Didn't really fill me up. The chefs don't use gloves

1A class shawarma, generally the best food I've ever eaten in the southern part of the city. Not many manage to combine such good food with such a good atmosphere!!

Super tasty, inexpensive and friendly

The food amount (and quality) for the price is insane value; highly recommend if you're hungry but not able to spend much

Best shop on Zülpicher Straße!! Or all over Cologne?! Never eaten sooooo delicious falafels (makkali).. 20 stars!!!

Cheap, tasty, authentic. Great value for money

He wanted to sell me a schwarma that he warmed up in the microwave. Unordered and ate fresh next door

My favorite restaurant in Cologne. The ambience is great. The only thing I miss is the free drink (sweet tea), which used to always come with every meal. I also like the freshly squeezed orange juice, but unfortunately I find the price of €3 too high. However, quality obviously comes at a cost. 😉

Very tasty food at very reasonable prices. Portion sizes are big and offer lots of variety. Some things were under seasoned and needed salt, which I wish I knew that salt shakers were right under the silverware. I do wish there was some more variety of drinks like tea etc, but still a great experience in a cool setting.

The atmosphere is definitely different. The walls and ceiling are covered with posters. I don't think it's a clean place. The menu is similar. It's a bit pleasing to the palate, but it didn't appeal to me much. A doner kebab costs approximately 5-7 euros, wraps here cost 5 euros, and dinner plates range between 7-10 euros.

Super food. Very inexpensive. Counter service. Crowded dining room.

One of my favorite places to get a falafel in all of Germany!! Has been consistent over many years, highly recommend.

A must for me when my stomach calls for falafel and halloumi - tasty and quick!

Super delicious food in a charming shop with a lovely atmosphere! Good prices and nice staff, I always like to get something to eat here.

Excelente lugar para comer en Oriente Medio en Colonia que visité un día. Un montón de opciones para elegir y seguro que encuentras algo a tu gusto, pero recomiendo encarecidamente el Nomad Dish, que es básicamente una mezcla de todo. Recién preparado para usted a tiempo, y el personal es excelente. Después de haber viajado a Líbano y Jordania, y crecido para amar su comida, este lugar es uno de los más cercanos que he estado a superar lo que comí en esa visita, ya que es realmente bueno, y los precios son excelentes. Muy recomendable.

The best place to eat shawarma etc.! The decor is really great and it's very cozy, especially in summer :) you'll definitely get full and the prices are very, very fair, one of my favorite restaurants in Cologne! 💌

Super delicious food and very nicely decorated. We even got a piece of baklava to say goodbye, which was also delicious.

Delicious shawarma! Totally recommended!

The service was so unfriendly that I didn't want to leave my money there.

I was here with a friend years ago. Saw a mouse in the restaurant and commented on it. The waitress said it was normal, it came from the kitchen 🤷🏼‍♂️

Unfortunately, the food was cold and the service was zero. It concerned us from afar, but nothing changed

The atmosphere is the best. The posters on the walls are really amazing. And out of this time period. One can get very tasty sandwiches (shawarma) at very decent prices. This place is a must!
