Karibik Thai Food in Köln

Geserveerde bestelling verschil van smaak met de laatste keer dat wij daar waren in 2023, tegenwoordig de gehele cavé restaurant/eet tenten daar in de omgeving in het beheer van Aziatische gemeenschap al dan niet Pakistanie en/of Bangladesh. Mensen in de bediening weet ook niet uit te leggen wat de inhoud van de gerecht(en). Jammer, ik zou daar ook niet meer terug komen.

Rarely have I been served in a restaurant as listlessly and as lazy as I did at this one. There was also a stained wine glass for my companion, as well as plates that didn't look quite as clean and had been brought to the table in advance for the meal. The food was ok, but of course simply overpriced in such a tourist place. (Some vegetables, soy sauce, boiled rice for 12/13 euros…) After dinner it wasn't cleared away for ages - and then not even completely. There was no question in between whether it tasted good or whether it could be another drink, etc. Requests for a bill were also ignored. It's not worth coming here to eat. I can't comment on the range and quality of the cocktails, which this Thai restaurant also operates as a cocktail bar.

Unfortunately, during our visit the staff was overwhelmed and not attentive. When we ate we were presented with the menus from Thai Food and Rheinzeit, which is next door. The cocktails could only be ordered from Rheinzeit and were on average €2 more expensive than on the Thai menu. We were sent in to pay digitally. Since we were sitting in the Thai beer garden, we went into the restaurant and waited in vain for the waiter. He came after a while and sent us to the Rhine period. We were billed there after a few minutes of waiting. Overall, unfortunately not a nice stay.

Unfortunately it's no longer the store it once was. Two restaurants were merged into one. Unfortunately, the Caribbean Bar fell by the wayside. Unfortunately it was my last visit there. I've always been there since 1989 when I was in the old town.

What happened to you, Cologne mafia or what????? Shop open, but only used as a storage room! I/we have been coming here for over 3 decades, initially just for the cocktails and for years also for the great, delicious food. Now pushy waiters and dirty menu from the neighboring shop (in front of it on the right) I'm really very sad about it, as this was my last and absolute favorite address almost every time I visited Cologne. Biiiiiiiiiiite is coming back!!!! Greetings Pelle.

ATTENTION: THE CARIBBEAN BAR IS CLOSED. We wanted to reserve a table there next week, but they didn't answer our calls, so I went there. The Caribbean bar looks like it used to, the same umbrellas, tables, ... but there are different menus on the table - the shop is now called “RheinZeit” and offers completely different food, etc.! It was one of my favorite addresses when several of us went to Cologne. I enjoyed the food and drinking the cocktails from salad bowls using long straws with several straws was my highlight. Unfortunately it no longer exists, and even the usual employees are no longer there.

Update May 2024: Previously 5/5 stars but unfortunately different owners. Absolute 0 star stuff unfortunately... Caribbean crew where are you? 😢 2019-May 2024: As always, we had a great evening with delicious cocktails, friendly service and delicious food! We always enjoy coming here!

Where have you gone? We travel to Cologne 2-3 times a year so we can relax with you. Your cocktails and food were always amazing! Today we had to learn the hard way that you no longer exist. Instead you are served rudely, the card is thrown on the table and that's it. Left again without ordering. Please let us know if you are somewhere else now 😢

We have been coming here for many years, unfortunately we discovered yesterday that the Caribbean Bar has apparently changed hands, a long era has now come to an end. When we asked the staff, we were informed that neither the kitchen, drinks nor service had changed - unfortunately we cannot confirm this. Now about our visit yesterday (11 people): - Drinks came from a neighboring cooperating restaurant, cocktails were sometimes warm and/or mixed incorrectly - The staff was very inexperienced with the food and drinks offered by the restaurant, however staff were friendly - The food was obviously prepared in different kitchens as it was brought from different directions, when asked why that was the case they just smiled - Most of the food was cold (no more warming plates without explicit request), but the taste was okay. - When addressing the grievances towards the staff, it was always pointed out that they were new here and didn't know any better - When we left the location, although the staff knew very well how we had experienced the evening, we were kindly asked to leave a Google review - which is what happened. The price-performance ratio is unfortunately (has become) terribly bad.

Worst service, after the entry they took a lot of time to take order and when I asked for some suggestions with food. He was rude and told everything is bad. Please hire someone with manners!

My food smelled like wet dog. The service doesn't speak German.

I've been going to the Caribbean bar for a long time. But today I found out that the neighbor probably swallowed them. The chain now owns a few restaurants. Well, it's no longer my Caribbean bar. For me it was a mega tip for cocktails. That's it. Take care, nice memory.

The food was pretty good. On the other hand, the bottle of water for €9 really leaves a bitter taste when it comes out.

The food was cold, the rice was no longer fresh and overall the dish was no longer as we knew it. Some ingredients that made up the dish in the past were missing. The authentic Thai owners were no longer there either. It seems as if the restaurant was sold and with it the Thai cuisine. I can advise everyone against it. Go to Krua Thai at the top of the Heumarkt. They have been delivering top quality at fair prices for years.

We waited forever for the menu, the tables were dirty and the food was cold! The staff was overwhelmed and unfriendly. It's a shame that the owner has changed.

Service is like bad here, totally not recommend at all, if you don’t wanna ruin your mood. Waitress just didn’t know anything about polite or smile or service. Food is awful! And cash only, no card! Never come back again!

We weren't greeted, a piece of paper saying that we don't accept EC payments was carelessly "thrown" at us, the waitress looked as if she was saying "No, there are guests", meat and fish were ok to good, but we did directly saw and tasted that the dishes were straight out of the bag, which we often cook ourselves.

I had a delicious meal there, I often visit Thailand (6 times a year). So I really know what Thai food should taste like, I also like it spicy. I have now also tasted the cocktail "Scorpion", the smell alone is excellent. Very worthwhile. I'm passing through by car, so I've already eaten Thai twice in Belgium. No more are cheap copies of the real Thai. Hats off to this restuarant. Great Speak Thai, cook Thai, and they are Thai. on the subject More information

I'm Phil 18 years old, The best thing is that I get Mojeitos. But these well-known beautiful liquids are extremely suspicious because they have a strange character and they are up to no good but they rattle like three good luck

Food is good. Guy waiter is bad. Didn’t do anything specifically rude, he’s just an unhappy person, should not work as a waiter

Delicious Thai restaurant with authentic Thai taste.

Very tasty dish that I ordered.. duck

Delicious food. Rarely have you eaten so well. Friendly reception. Service was not always attentive. The older men behind the bar were very friendly. The young gentleman made poor eye contact, but did 90% of the work. The young lady looked like an ice cream rabbit. But again: delicious food, worth repeating.

Cocktails are always very, very tasty and fresh 😍

Very tasty food and even better cocktails... The staff is very nice and friendly. I've known this place since the 90s. Still like back then!!! Have been coming here regularly ever since...

❤️😚❤️ Jummy❤️😚❤️ It's the year 2024 and I came in here very spontaneously. Yes, just a poem because it's really great and the service is just great. Yes, definitely one here. Take detours around when you are in Cologne. Thanks to the team, I would love to come back 👍.

I have to say the service here is extremely poor! The waiter was very unfriendly. When I entered the store, the owner at the door didn't even look at me and talk to me.When I asked if I could order the lunch menu at 15: 30, the waiter just pointed to the menu without explanation and gave me a very bad look the whole time. When I pronounce the names of dishes in German “Händchen”, The waiter deliberately said the numbers in German“zweiundzwanzig”.When I also say numbers in German "fünfundzwanzig"，The officer said "forty-five " in English.I asked in English, "We have two dishes now, right?"The assistant understood English and asked me "was?" in German.In short, you speak German, he speaks English, you speak English, he speaks German and pretends not to understand, the whole face is very bad, feel targeted.

My first visit to the restaurant. The food was really, really good and the service was attentive but not intrusive. Prices are reasonable. Will definitely eat here again (and have a cocktail or two 😇)

Decent location. Everything else was pretty much average. Nothing special but pricey because of the location.

Cuisine that lacks refinement and flavor. Disappointing experience for a New Year's Eve evening. Atmosphere level: warm setting, but the music not at all suitable for a restaurant: not relaxing at all and not really typical.

Delicious food, good cocktails, nice owners. Unfortunately no children's meals but extra noodles were made for my child. Price is relatively high. But it tastes good

There shouldn't be any stars here. We ordered food and a water bottle here. We waited for an hour for the food, but it wasn't prepared yet. At the end we would have to pay 6.5 euros for a water and an hour's time.

Very tasty food as well as cocktails. High prices.

Het was er heel lekker en zeker niet duur over de sfeer kan ik weinig zeggen,wij waren er redelijk vroeg binnen gestapt en dus ook vroeg buiten. Maar ik raad dit zeker aan

Finger weg! Ich habe noch nie so schlecht bei einem Thai gegessen .

Very good food, it's a nice and warm cosy place to have dinner.

Essen war sehr lecker Kellner war sehr nett und höflich bester man dieser Anthony 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

Sehr gutes und gepflegtes essen. Nettes Personal

Restaurant ist sehr altbacken. Die Bank an der wir gesessen haben, war total dreckig. Service war sehr gut. Die Vorspeise hat geschmeckt. Das Hauptgericht war schleckt. Dabei hatte ich nur gebratene Nudeln. Sie waren matschig, die Gemüse viel zu grob geschnitten. Ich habe es gegessen um nicht hungrig zu sein. Das war für mich nicht mal Imbiss Qualität. Die restlichen Speisen von der Gruppe waren auch nicht zu empfehlen. Cocktails waren mittelmäßig, einer komplett ungenießbar. Leider kann ich nicht mehr als 2 Sterne geben.

Schönes Ambiente und freundliche Bedienung. Dazu war das Essen sehr gut und lecker. Gerne wieder👌

Sehr lecker... Rindfleischsuppe mit Glasnudeln 😋😋😋

Comida deliciosa,atendimento excelente ambiente aconchegante, comemorei meu aniversário nesse lugar.

Die Bar besuchen wir schon seit 30 Jahren. Wir mögen die Cocktails und das Essen.

Super nette Bedienung,perfekte Cocktails.

The duck was crispy and delicious and the chili version not overly spicy.

Heerlijke cocktails. Was 25 jaar geleden ook al zo. En we bestelden er iets kleins te eten bij. Was hemels..vanavond ook maar eens dineren.

Wir sind nun das 3te mal in Köln,und probieren gerne immer was neues! Aber hängen bleiben wir einfach jedes Mal hier Essen mega,servies immer nett und mega zuvorkommend

Probably one of the few authentic Thai restaurants in Cologne. The good was good and the staff were friendly. Plus I really like the Thai music there.

Das Essen kam in separierten Tellern und Schüsseln, war gut temperiert und schmeckte. So wie ich es von einem ernst zu nehmenden Restaurant erwarte. Es ist also nicht der einfache Thai-Schnellimbiss. Das Ambiente war üblich für diese Ecke von Köln. Wir haben allerdings draußen gesessen, sodass das weniger ins Gewicht fällt.

Nach vielen Jahren war ich heute das erste mal wieder in der uralten Kölner Karibikbar. Die Cocktails waren sehr gut, das Personal freundlich. Gegessen habe ich nichts, da schon satt hier angekommen. Es sah an den Nachbartischen aber gut aus. Einziger Punktabzug: es ist halt sehr touristisch. Daher fehlt etwas die Herzlichkeit.

Cocktails sind einfach klasse, essen ist auch gut

My friend and I visited this restaurant for first time. Our noodles were so tasty 😋 i would say they tasted so thai and yummy ever :) we really loved it and also staffs were so friendly ☺️☺️

We went in for dinner and really enjoyed the food. The beef in oyster sauce and the crispy duck in sweet and sour sauce were especially delicious ☺️

Essen nicht Preiswert, Reis sehr klebrig, Gemüse etc. nicht durchgekocht, Hähnchen sehr trocken. Nicht Empfehlenswert👎

Super Cocktails Super Essen nettes Personal.

In a nutshell: Disgusting, inedible, chicken looked raw, rude customer treatment. A piece of life waste

the pad thai was good but the service was supbar

Bin dort seit über 20 Jahren Stammgast. Leider hat der Laden sowohl beim Essen als auch bei den Cocktails nach Corona erschreckend stark nachgelassen.

Nettes kleines Restaurant mit Thai-Küche und auch Steaks. Schöne Aussengastronomie mit tollem Blick auf den Rhein. Der Service war schnell und freundlich. Das Essen war lecker.

Wir sind die letzten 5 Jahre immer gerne gekommen und waren auch mal sehr begeistert. Leider waren unsere Besuche dieses Jahr sehr enttäuschend. Das Essen hat deutlich nachgelassen, was wohl auf einen neuen Koch deutet. Auch die Aufmerksamkeit des Personals hat nachgelassen. Als wir auf dem Weg nach Hause noch auf einen Cocktail Platz nehmen wollten wurden wir mit den Worten begrüßt das wir nur noch 30 min zur Verfügung haben. Noch nicht mal einen guten Abend. Für uns ein No Go und wir werden leider nicht wieder kommen. Schade....

Disgusting food. Ordered satay and the chicken was not fresh at all. On top of this, the customer service was too bad...

Wir waren über 30 Jahre Stammgäste hier. Wir liebten das Essen, das Team, die Lage und das Preis/Leistung Verhältnis. Durch corona etc. war eine Preiserhöhung abzusehen und die wäre auch akzeptabel gewesen, wenn nicht die Qualität schlechter geworden wäre (früher war huhn, rind und schwein im gericht, jetzt nur noch geflügel) und die Portionen zusätzlich noch kleiner wurde. Als wir das beim Personal angesprochen haben, wurde nur gelächelt. Sehr schade!!!! Preis hoch, quali und Menge runter geht für uns garnicht....

Essen wahr sehr gut und das Personal war sehr freundlich, jedoch tropfte es im Innenbereich von der Decke weshalb ich nass wurde.

Cibo Thai di ottima qualità. Porzioni abbondanti e rapporto qualità-prezzo sicuramente ottimo. Personale gentile e disponibile, siamo tornati 2 volte.

Einer unserer zwei liebsten Locations! Im Sommer draußen zu sitzen ist einfach Klassen um das Essen und die Cocktails zu genießen!

Unfreundlicher Service. Durchschnittliche Speisen, wer nur fix essen und trinken will kann es hier erledigen. Toll war es nicht

Very nice, very good food and the waiter was super nice :)

Très bonnes assiettes, en revanche, 3.5€ pour un verre d'eau... C'est quand même abusé !!!

Best service and food/drinks in the area.

Leider absolut nicht zu empfehlen. Total unfreundlicher Service, bereits am Telefon zur Tischreservierung; vor Ort erst recht, bereits sehr unfreundliche Begrüßung. Hinter jedem Gericht auf der Karte weist ein Sternchen darauf hin, dass Glutamat und Zusatzstoffe / Geschmacksverstärker enthalten sind. Wer auf sowas steht, bitte, aber gute thailändische wie auch karabische Küche und vor allem gute Köche kommen ohne aus. Wir sind daraufhin direkt gegangen, Fertigfraß gibt es auch bei Maggi.

Lecker Geschmack + Preis = 4/5 Freundliches Personal

Wie seit 30 Jahren schon, Tolle Cocktails, gutes Essen

War schon viel mal hier, immer zufrieden 👍

Sehr gut gegessen, kein Mainstream Thai. Mittagstisch war günstig und genug. Wir sind satt und sehr zufrieden. Nette Bedienung, Rheinblick inklusive.

gute cocktails, leckeres essen, preis/leistung top

super Lage. Wir haben nur was getrunken, aber was wir gesehen haben, das sah lecker aus.

The waiter is very rude and impolite, we also called him twice and he didn't reply, so I cancelled my order

Leckeres Essen und die Cocktails sind ein Traum.

Ende 1990 waren wir sehr oft hier essen und es war immer sehr authentisch und sehr lecker. Heute waren wir seit so langer Zeit wieder da und es war leider enttäuschend. Das Essen ist für die grobe Mehrheit bestimmt gut aber hat für uns nichts mehr mit Thailand zu tun. Es war sehr neutral von den Gewürzen schon fast fade. Der Reis war sehr pappig, die knusprig gebratenen Ente war nicht knusprig und für den Preis auch zu wenig. Die Cocktails waren in Ordnung. Der Kellner war sehr freundlich aber das alleine bringt uns nicht dazu wieder zu kommen. Da genug Menschen wieder kommen macht es nichts aus das wir nicht dabei sind. Trotzdem Ihnen alles Gute.

Toller Service, super Speisen einfach nur zu empfehlen

Also wenn mann öfters Cocktails trinkt muss mann hier hin.Hier gibt es sehr gute und leckere cocktails.Der Service 1a einmal gut immer gut.🙂

Awesome restaurant. Great selection of tropical drinks and unbeatable location.

Tolles Essen und leckere Cocktails seit über 30 Jahren !!!

Leckere Cocktails die süchtig machen. Essen war gut und reichlich und die Bedienung sehr nett. Wir kommen wieder.

war ein wirklich toller Tag! vielen Dank an die nette bedienung

Das Essen ist frisch und lecker 😋. Es gibt 1⃣ 🚽 Toilette die sauber ist. Der Eingang ist Behinderten gerecht und es gibt Sitzgelegenheiten. Einen Aussenbereich mit Blick auf den Rhein. Gruß aus dem Bergischen. Greet from germany near cologne. Immer wieder gerne.

Richtig Thai Essen am Rhein. Rhein Terrasse.

Wir haben da ein schönen Abend verbracht die außen Tische sind mit Decke und Heizstrahler Das ist wohlfühlen !!das Essen war super lecker bisschen hecktich aber trotzdem gut Die Cocktails sind lecker wir waren rundum zufrieden die Preise finde ich inordnung Nette Bedienung Service gut

Service könnte aufmerksamer sein, aber Essen und Getränke sind sehr gut.

Nirgendwo gibt es bessere Cocktails

Die Cocktails sind mega. Der Rest ok

Wie immer gutes Essen, gute Cocktails, schöner Abend.

Netter Ort um im Sommer oder bei warmer Jahreszeit einen leckeren Cocktail zu schlürfen, mein Tipp, wer heftiger mag, Zombie 💪🏻👍🏻

Geht gar nicht, lange Wartezeit, kaltes Essen nach einer Stunde. Reis kommt 10 Minuten später. Essen wird aufgewärmt, der Reis wird vergessen und ist wieder kalt. Totale Überforderung endet in Kastrophe. Gäste gehen ohne zu bezahlen

Simple the best und das seit 50 Jahre

We had a drink, very nice staff and interior. The wine was very nice, good atmosphere.

Sehr leckeres Essen. Vorsuppe geschmacklich sehr gut. Vorspeisen- Teller mit verschiedenen Köstlichkeiten auch lecker. Die thailändischen Gerichte wie auch das Steak mit Pommes und Salat sehr, sehr lecker. Das Personal sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Alles in allem sehr empfehlenswert. Kommen gerne nochmal wieder.

Super leckere Cocktails und sehr nette Bedienung. Auch die Aussicht auf den Rhein ist sehr schön. Gerne wieder!

Wir waren zu zehnt da und insgesamt sehr zufrieden, von 8 unterschiedlichen Gerichten haben 7 hervorragend geschmeckt!

Don’t go here. No quality and bad service. They push your appetisers and main meal together on the table and when ask not to do it they redo the same again.
