Kimo in Hamburg

Kimo fries with a golden hand, Crispy, hot, and delicious falafel. With hummus, sauce, and bread, every bite is magic. The shop is small, the taste is great, at Kimo's, you can eat without worry. So I'll say it clearly in this rhyme: Falafel there – a real treat at home! Fantastic and delicious

A real insider tip for all falafel lovers! The falafel were perfectly seasoned, crispy, and moist on the inside – simply delicious. I especially liked the creamy hummus and the fresh ingredients. The service was friendly and quick, and the portions were more than fair. I'll definitely be back!

Very tasty, fresh and super cheap

Very tasty food and inexpensive

Very tasty shawarma. Be sure to try Shawarma Kimo!

Quite a long queue in front of the store with a corresponding waiting time. But you can't blame the store for that... on the contrary: it speaks for quality. Very good selection of Middle Eastern snack foods, and it was tasty too (I had a falafel sandwich)

The best falafel in all of Hamburg for years. Very suitable for vegans and vegetarians. There is even gluten-free bread.

Best falafel in town. Mega cheap. Actually you can't complain. But cleanliness and hygiene are completely foreign concepts here. The store desperately needs a facelift and regular cleaning. *and card payment! Despite this criticism, the falafel is incredibly tasty so it is always full and I also like to go there.

That was absolutely unacceptable! There was no sign or indication that the toilet was closed. The colleague simply opened the door while I was in the toilet - without even knocking! Something like this crosses the boundaries of normal behavior and is absolutely not okay. It's disrespectful and shameful! He should urgently ensure that there is clear, visible signage when the toilet is closed and stick to never again simply opening the door of a women's toilet. This behavior is completely outside of normality and absolutely not to be tolerated!

The food was thrown into the boxes like garbage in a bag - packaged totally messily and carelessly. An absolute non-recommendation!

Gen Z's go to place for non processed vegetarian food. (anyone over the age of 35 will stick out like a flare in the night sky 🤣) The falafelwraps here are one of the best you can get in Hamburg. Popularity and relatively low prices result in a high turnaround so you can expect the ingredients to be fresh. Prepare for a queue out of the door on to the street at peak times, (which is more or less every evening) but the wait does not exceed 20mins very often. The food is worth it though. Try to figure out what you would like to order before getting to the counter. If you are unsure of what to choose and you are not picky, go for the Kimo-Falafel wrap which includes a bit of nearly everything on display. Cant go wrong and prepare for an avalanche of different tastes. Eating in should only be considered if you have no other place to go or if the weather is horrible. The noise and the queue snaking its way through the restaurant never make eating here a pleasant experience. Take-away is highly recomended and they do pack the food in a way so it can be transported to... any nicer place. Foodwise a must for vegetarians and vegans. Service: minus 1 star for only taking tax-dodge friendly cash.

Insanely bad! My shawarma not only looked inedible but also tasted like ass crack. With a 4.6 rating I thought I could eat something delicious, but I ended up with the nastiest food I've ever eaten. Why do Egyptians always slap everything they find into shawarmas, it shouldn't be a bowl!

We made a direct comparison of Kimo and Falafelstern right next door - a falafel plate was ordered from both Result: We found the overall package to be a bit less good. The fresh vegetables were a bit bland, the sauces were very tasty but unfortunately a bit lacking. The falafels get a 6/10. Well seasoned, a little spicy and also nice and crunchy. Unlike falafels, it comes with bread. Overall, definitely a stable place to go and better value for money!

Very tasty😋😋😋 I have never seen such quick food preparation in my entire life!!!! I can definitely recommend this restaurant.

best falafel for sure, never dissapoints

Schanzen classic, good value for money and very tasty

Food is super tasty for a great price. Loading is sporadic but that adds to the vibe.

We ordered, but I was very disappointed. I ordered a falafel plate, but a small falafel ball arrived and the rest of the bits and bobs that this plate didn't need... you then pay 12 euros for that. Too bad.

Best food far and wide! Very friendly staff!

The meat inside the shawarma was not good. They take cash only. I don't know how they can have such good reviews

Best falafel in Hamburg and very inexpensive

Cheap and super yummy!! Served by kind people in grand portions!

Food is very tasty! The eggplant was cold, it would have been better hot, but because everything else was so delicious, there was no reason to deduct a star. You get the food very quickly, it's cheap and the employees are super friendly. There are also enough tables to sit down comfortably, as long as you're not there on a Friday evening during rush hour.

Kimo is the quick and dirty falaffel for on hand in the ski jump. The price is abysmal - you can't expect anything other than quick preparation and being full. The taste is good, as long as you stick with Fallaffel. You can sometimes play around with meat dishes, but there are plenty of alternatives on Same Street. It's possible to sit inside, but you'll want to get out quickly after eating. But that's just snack style. If someone expects more for the amount of food available here for €5, it's not Kimo's fault. In, out, eat & come back.

The tastiest falafel in bread I've ever had in the area. Shawarma is also great... I can only recommend the kimo version of both, delicious, delicious

Best falafel shop in the area, very popular, good prices, queue can get longer at times.

Mega delicious and always recommended…falafel in bread. Whenever I'm at Sternschanze, I have to get my falafel in bread. It's soooo delicious! The walnut paste in particular is amazing. The store is always busy. The falafel is always freshly prepared and the other dishes are also top. Staff is friendly and works very quickly. So don't be put off if the line stretches all the way out to the street. The wait is definitely worth it 🙏

Very tasty and prices are reasonable. I'd rather take the food with me. For my taste, the store could be made a little more inviting with more oriental flair👍

Here you can get almost the best falafel from all over Hamburg, for almost the cheapest price. Top quality, recommended to everyone

Very tasty falafel with homemade hummus.

A life without Kimo wouldn't be a good life

Great shop. Tasty and inexpensive

We ate two large and two small falafel plates for four people. The best oriental, vegetarian snack we have ever visited. Thanks for the good food.

Best falafels of Hamburg. Very nice people and great music

The shawarma there made my girlfriend cry and at the end of the day I was not a happy man, because she cried all day

delicious food at a fair price! Would love to come back

Falafel doesn't taste like anything anymore. Half the store smells like a really dirty toilet

An unforgettable experience! The atmosphere was great and the service excellent. The dishes were a true work of art in taste and presentation. The restaurant boasts beautiful decor that creates a feeling of comfort and shows great attention to detail. I recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious meal and a special atmosphere

The best falafel I've eaten outside of Egypt! I come here every time I visit Hamburg and am always thrilled. The prices are also okay. The restaurant itself is a bit run down, but it almost seems more authentic.

Today I paid nine euros for a tiny portion of coleslaw with a bit of beans. I thought it was super cheeky but now I'm going to Falafelstern again.

Best taamya I’ve ever eaten before, it’s even more delicious than what I used to eat in Egypt🥹🤍 Thank you so much guys! Please consider foul option, im sure you’re going to master it!

Best falafel in town, always fresh and good value!!

I come from Cologne but ate my best falafel here WOW thank you

The best shop in the area! My recommendation - Shawarma Kimo. How can something taste so good?! Caution! Addictive. Bon affair.

I order Kimo falafel. It was very cheap and very tasty.

Had Falafel Kimo which was fine. It seems to be a fav destination of youth. Only it was too loud.

Cellar snack bar with great oriental dishes. Perfect for a quick snack in between.

AFRICAN OWNER-No.1 Falafel in this City,You Can meet Stars and Celebreties from all OVER THE WORLD But the Prices are faire,ITS the Kimo Monkey why WE Coming Here

My absolute favorite falafel shop. Only on weekends in the evening do you often have to wait longer, as the shop is very popular and therefore often very full. Always worth a visit and definitely recommended

I would like to express my biggest disappointment about visiting this restaurant. First the food: Disgusting is an understatement. Everything was poorly prepared, inedible and did not meet my expectations at all. It was almost a cheek to serve something like that! Even worse than the food, however, was the staff. I have rarely experienced such rude and unprofessional employees. Nobody should do this to themselves – do yourself a favor and go somewhere else!

Super rude employees! Ordered Shawarma teller and it was not good at all. Teller was served with meat which was extremely cold and uncooked along with watery vegetables. May be better that they just focus on Falafel.

You get the feeling that Arab guests are not welcome here. You should be ashamed of yourself!!

Unbeatable price-performance ratio. Very authentic snack. Everything fresh.

Best shop with lots of delicious and cheap dishes

Best kebab, especially after drinking, an absolute banger

An institution on Schanzenstrasse for years. Unfailingly delicious falafel. Thank you, Amir!

Have you already received the Guinness Book of World Records? I have a strong suspicion that the fastest falafel is made here... not even your eyes can keep up with it 😅🫨 Amazing how good the falafel roll tasted after just 4 seconds of preparation 😋 Would come back every time! 😘

Authentic Egyptian food, grand portions, full of flavours, at a really great price. I'm grateful this place exists in Hamburg.

Best falafel ever. It's best to order Falafel Kimo with everything. Always super fresh and delicious

I just bought a classic Fallafel bag. It was sour I had to throw it away. Perhaps the hygiene procedures are not as routinely incorporated into the workflow there. I find it strange when something spoiled is sold. Unfortunately I was already at home (Wedel) otherwise I would have brought it back 😥

So delicious! ! ! ! ! This is a recommended restaurant.

* recommended by an acquaintance. The recommendation was not supported by my airbnb host (who is a vegetarian so I would take that to heart) lol. My opinion is: … * Plastic is genius * Classic is in a wrap w lettuce tomato cucumber hummus and I think pickled onion and maybe another sauce * I was absolutely not in a döner mood and maybe I like this more. Defo the best falafel I’ve ever had. So flavorful. Hot and fresh and crunchy * Cash is a negative for me as a traveler with limited currency but I found 4€ reasonable

By the Lord of the Kaaba, I ate shit. A falafel sandwich at Kimo’s. The salad tastes disgusting and old, but the shop next to it is much better and very clean. I do not recommend Kimo to anyone.

Mega delicious falafel at fair prices! Really super good!

The best falafel I've ever eaten! And a great price. I definitely recommend falafel wrapped in a wrap and not on a plate. There is usually a place to sit. Avoid the toilets, but at least you can wash your hands there.

By far the best street food. Since I've been living nearby again, I've been a regular there again. Due to the high quality and the really low prices, the store is often overrun. But even when stressed, the employees are always friendly. The ambience is not great. Has snack character. And you rarely get a free table during peak times. But that's not a bad thing because it's really good street food. I would highly recommend the store.

Amazing and impressive variety of ingredients and hummus. The chicken was incredibly well-seasoned and tender! The falafel plate was also delicious—highly recommended!

...tasty and inexpensive food 👍 ...always a pleasure 🙂

Really great food for the price!

Amazing falafels. Very cheap and affordable prices

Probably one of the best falafel in Hamburg. For me the good father of Falafel. For a long time, the falafel sandwich here cost less than €3, but kebab inflation doesn't stop there either. Nevertheless, even today in 2024 the prices here are relatively fair. For just over €5, you can get a really good and tasty falafel sandwich, refined with pickled vegetables and fried vegetables. Very, very cool. The sauces are also convincing! If the bread were fresh and home-baked, the 5 stars would definitely be there. The experienced kebab palate is happy to accept an additional charge for this.

One of the best shops. The shop is actually located in underground and it's small too. It's so busy in evening hours especially 6pm to 10pm. The provide falafel and it's nice

Best shwarma with very reasonable price.

I had a kimo falafel wrap. That was really good. And the people in the shop are very friendly. Will definitely come back when I'm back in HH.

Best Falafel restaurant im Town!

Great price for a Falafel in Bread !

In my opinion the best falafel shop in HH. Very, very tasty, great fresh ingredients and extremely well seasoned. In addition, the prices are more than fair. I look forward to every one of them...people keep up the good work

Food good 👍 but shop very run down, old and not maintained. Staff need to be better trained.

It used to be a good and affordable falafel place. However, yesterday I noticed that the prices had increased and the quality and hygiene had declined. I ordered a classic falafel, and the person making it was handling all the ingredients with the same hands he used to take money, including those for all the bar options. My falafel had an unusual fishy smell and taste. I used to visit frequently and enjoy it, but it seems the standards of the place have changed.

Quelle fabuleuse expérience. Autant dans le croustillant que l’onctuosité d’un humus inégalable ✌️ Je recommande vivement cet endroit fabuleux de bon sens

Excellent selection of tasty, beautifully prepared dishes. Price/performance ratio is good. However, if you are looking for ambience, you would be wrong here.

Yummy Yummy Yummy. The prices are good

3 times there 3 times said I don't want a tomato. What did I get? Tomatoes. At one point it was even written on it without tomatoes even though there were tomatoes in it.

Amazing shawarma and so reasonably priced.

It is and remains simply super tasty and unbeatable in terms of price. I also like to take a detour to eat my falafel here :)

Stable store. Always happy and much better than next door!

The prices are very fair, which I would like to emphasize positively. The baklava was delicious! Unfortunately we didn't like the rest of the visit so much :(. I bought falafel in bread and my friend bought shawarma. When ordering we were totally overwhelmed and couldn't decide anything. We weren't asked what we wanted on it. It became easy Everything was packed, even though we didn't know what was in it. Unfortunately, we found the food a bit dry and cold, especially because of the very cold potatoes, which didn't go well with it. We would have liked the food to be warm would have been.

Greatest falafel in Hamburg. Not so nice to sit on though. It's better to eat Falsfel in your hand and outside - at least in summer.

The best falafel restaurant ever. Thank you very much, competent staff

I ordered the Falafel Kimo and the Shawarma Platter. Both dishes tasted amazing! I loved how quickly the food was served, even though the place was busy. The price was cheap, and it’s a nice place to eat. However, they really need better air circulation—please open the window.

Everything was great and we always enjoy eating at Kimo's

All the people who try to exploit their online power with their 1 star are just ungodly embarrassing. I've been eating at this place for months and I'm incredibly grateful that it exists. I really like the food, the falafel is great, the people are friendly and the price is right🤲🏼

Always delicious. Very authentic

Unfortunately very mediocre. .The alternatives are large in the area.

A pleasant "Middle Eastern" atmosphere, quite cozy, very inexpensive and incredibly tasty and filling. I only pay €6 for a Shawarma Kimo (Kimo means EVERYTHING, meaning countless types of vegetables, salads, falafel, meat, hummus and more sauces. Really extremely tasty and very filling, as the portion is large) as a wrap and I basically can't do it Ever afford to eat out, but this place is so unbeatable in terms of price and taste that my husband and I have been regular customers there for years and always get the same thing. The employees are incredibly friendly and thanks to them I know that everything is kosher, which is a great joy for us. We have never been disappointed there and have been there over 100 times and nothing will change.

It was my second time eating there. Both times the falafel wasn't tasty and was ice cold.

The prices were fair, the food was quick and the staff worked quickly

Yummy, friendly and veggie. Have been going here for ten years now and running and they are still the best falafel ever.

Everything has to happen quickly... if you have a question, you get a stupid answer, it's on the card what it is! First of all, it's not the case and secondly, it's no reason not to even talk about it. Especially not when you're with them for the first time. But that's just a minor point, because what's really not working is the state of hygiene! The trash can (a bag where the trash is overflowing! You could probably invest €100 here and put a closed trash can! But now comes the highlight, the nice man with a glove... He takes the order, he prepares it, he collects the money and he cleans the floor with a mop!!! Danger!! All with one glove!?!? What's that supposed to mean? Then just leave the glove off, like the other two colleagues. Pretending to work hygienically but completely not doing it is actually even worse than just completely ignoring it like the other two colleagues do. I would also like to read an explanation for this. Just because they're cheap doesn't mean you can't follow a few hygiene measures!

Very good falafel with great salad variations, fair prices.
