I was invited by a friend as a birthday present. When she tried to reserve a table for two the day before, she was told there was enough space... So far, so good. The next day, however, the restaurant was so busy that only one table for four was left on the terrace. So we sat down and waited for service. Instead of taking our order, we were constantly asked to vacate the table. The tone was unfriendly; a short time later, the neighboring table became free, and we moved to the table for two. The food arrived very quickly and was very tasty, and there was nothing wrong with the side salad either. Nevertheless, the atmosphere was spoiled, and we paid quite quickly after our meal to get a drink at another restaurant.

A beautiful Christmas atmosphere and very attentive staff. The food was excellent and highly recommended. The value for money is also excellent. Seven of us, including children, went there for lunch, and we all went home happy, full, and satisfied. It was our first visit, but certainly not our last.

Probably quite good for all kinds of drinks. However, the food wasn't that good, quite tasteless. The outdoor and bar area is quite cozy. However, criticism is well received.

What a wide choice of food & drinks. Good and friendly service. Got very nice advice on which specialties to choose. Tasty cocktails (with and without alcohol) - for a very good price. Wide choice of food. From nachos to tortilla - burgers and pizza. Also with delicious side dishes. We were with a group of 4 adults and 1 child of 7 years. Everything was on the table quickly. Free parking in front of the door.

Ordered food and it was on the table in less than 10 minutes. I'm assuming the food was just warmed up. I found the portion to be very small for the price. We would have liked to drink more if the waiter had come more often. Too bad we won't come again

We've been there twice now. On our first visit the food was great but it was so full that we had to wait a long time. On the second visit it took us less than 20 minutes from sitting down to eating, but the food was just ok. What I have to particularly emphasize is the size of the chicken wings and the quality of the spareribs on the 2nd visit. The wings were so puny, they were chicken wings or something. And the spare ribs never saw the grill or anything like that. They were like they were cooked and also far too little. If you're not full at the end for over €23, then the portion wasn't appropriate. Since my companion was very satisfied, I still give it 4 stars.

Unfortunately, prices were a bit high for the small portions. Instead of the food we ordered from the menu, we both received something wrong and when we asked the waitress they simply stubbornly said we had ordered it that way. This combination wasn't even on the menu and I can't do more than point to the menu and name the dish. Unfortunately we will no longer be dining there.

We always enjoy coming back, it’s almost like a little “insider tip” in Bergheim. The staff is always friendly and considerate, and the service is very accommodating.

It's nice to sit in, the service is nice, and there's music too. Unfortunately, the food was just okay... There was literally half an avocado in the guacamole that wasn't chopped up and there were dozens of feathers or feather stalks in the chicken pieces... We were there with small children... Unfortunately, I have that I don't have the patience to make my own food edible, I just want to eat and relax as much as possible... Burgers, steaks and fajitas all looked great - but unfortunately the tapas were very bland.

Today we had a pleasant Sunday evening in the K Bana bar in Bergheim. One of the best locations in Bergheim and the surrounding area. Ambiance is pleasant with a nice green environment and pleasant music. Service is very attentive, courteous and quick. A well-coordinated team. The food came quickly and the Solero cocktail is a real recommendation. The cooking point and seasoning of the sirloin steak was spot on and the sweet potato fries are an absolute culinary delight. Absolutely okay in terms of price/performance ratio. Reservation was also easy, despite calling at short notice. An absolute recommendation in the Rhein-Erft district. We'd love to come back!

We were there before lunchtime last Sunday and were surprised at how run down this restaurant is. Service was very reserved rather than friendly and the food was neither particularly tasty and rather carelessly put together. This was matched by the rather poor price-performance ratio. The waiter "hid" behind the counter and fidgeted with his cell phone rather than keeping an eye on "us." It may not be a coincidence that we were the only guests at 12.30 p.m. (Just before we left, another couple came) Conclusion: we won't go there anymore.

The food is very tasty and we are there often a month, we are happy to leave over €200, but this evening we were speechless when we ate and drank with 8 people and were chatting and laughing when he came The waiter came to us and said that he had a request for us to be a little quieter. When we said that two guests had complained, he said no, that was his own doing. In any case, K-Bana Bar has lost its permanent regulars for 2 guests. Sorry, but that's not possible and we won't eat there again. But apparently the restaurateurs can afford to treat their guests like this, unfortunately Germany has learned nothing from the Corona crisis.

I think the ambience is very good. Except for the large air conditioning. Service was very good as it got busier the attentiveness dropped a bit. It then took a while until someone came. The fact that it takes longer is of course... it was a bit over the top. But what was mega. My companion didn't like raw tomatoes so they should be left out of the salad. You were made aware that these are also in the Buritto. Excellent Food very very tasty. The dessert was also delicious... we just wished the brownie was a little juicier. We will be back.

Real food shed! Bright light! But the worst of all,.. rotten chicken drumsticks..!! With the second order after this complaint, the owner thought that he should ask what was wrong. When we showed the raw, undercooked, bloody chicken, he got defensive and said that's how it should be. I then showed that the fried chicken leg could not be separated from the bid... not tasty and the prawns were in a garlic sauce lined with water! Do not go! Don't go! Not good!
