Nish Nush in Köln

The food was absolutely top notch. For the price you really get something and no one has to get up hungry. I had hummus with pita bread, beetroot, walnuts and feta cheese. The menu isn't particularly extensive, but most of the dishes are also available with meat substitutes, which are also really tasty. The decor is nice and you can also sit outside on the street. The only deduction for the service is because we only got 3 of the 4 main courses we ordered and the 4th person only got their food after 20 minutes and a request. One person had ordered an extra loaf of bread, which also went missing. But then it was fixed.

Does not even come close to an original Arabic cuisine.

If you come here to enjoy authentic Israeli food, you're in the wrong place here. Not a single dish is Israeli, but rather from the Levantine cuisine.

Small, cozy Israeli restaurant with many different dishes on the menu. I found the atmosphere very cozy. The staff was friendly, but in our opinion they could have stopped by more often. The food came quickly. There are many vegetarian and vegan options on the menu. I had the Traditional Plate of Vegetarian Shawarma. I found the food quite greasy, unfortunately too greasy. I especially didn't like the fries. The “meat” was too spicy for me and I didn’t find the hummus that tasty either. I find the dishes quite expensive. All in all, unfortunately I wouldn't necessarily recommend it.

Very tasty and a good selection. However, prices are too high

Authentic Israeli cuisine, great portion at a great price, the best Israeli cuisine you can get in Cologne. A great international audience. I can only recommend going there bon appetit and bon thirst

Everything is delicious, but now simply disproportionately expensive. Baba ghanoush in a mini portion for €6

Very nice location with a relaxed atmosphere. You can linger there. The Tel Aviv dish was incredibly tasty and the kebab on top was juicy. It's definitely worth it to enjoy a carefree evening with friends over good food. It definitely wasn't the last time I was there. :-)

A culinary journey through the Orient awaits you at Nish Nush, directly on Aachener Straße. The variety of dishes is impressive - from freshly prepared mezze to hearty main courses that will delight every palate. Particularly noteworthy is the atmosphere: cozy and inviting, perfect for a convivial evening or a relaxed lunch break. The team is attentive and friendly, which completes the entire experience. Here you can tell that passion reigns in the kitchen. A place I can definitely recommend!

It's a very small cute restaurant in the heart of Cologne. The food tastes great, but maybe a little too little for some people for the price. But every dish tastes freshly prepared. I can only recommend the cocktails!

Great load. Cool music and delicious food.

Fantastic food, delicious cocktails and nice service, top! Unfortunately only a guest in Cologne, but it would be worth traveling there.

Disappointing handling of my burnt malawach complaint Unfortunately, my last visit to Nish Nush was anything but satisfactory. The first malawach we received was noticeably burnt. When we complained about this, the complaint was only received reluctantly, which already left a negative impression. To our surprise, we received the exact same Malawach back with only the burnt areas scraped off. This is unacceptable, especially considering that the complaint has already been disputed. Such an approach shows little appreciation for the guests. Afterwards we received a delicious malawach. In summary, the handling of the complaint and therefore the evening was very disappointing. I would have liked a more professional and customer-oriented response. The other dishes were delicious, but the handling of the complaint spoiled the lovely evening... Hence only one star! Too bad...

10/10. Super tasty, I will come back again!

I ordered the dish Nish Nush with mixed meat there. I think the hummus tastes very tasty. I can never finish my plate because the portions are so large. Highly recommended with friends and family.

Magnificent place. Warm and pleasant. תוֹדָה

The food is not recommended and the staff needs to be trained again. Oh and also this is not an Israeli food but Arabic. Stay away from the store

The food was very tasty. Good location on Aachener Straße.

It tasted very good! Fallen apple could taste a little better. You should try homemade lemonade with turmeric and ginger!

We love it here and are there once a week! Israeli cuisine is really well presented here. Of course there are little things to complain about here and there, but it's always a pleasure to enjoy the great food

For just under 30 euros we had a great dinner. The people were super nice and the food was great. Was our second visit!

Super tasty, fast service, everything was great. I can only recommend it.

Another restaurant at this location would be great. Meat, salad, everything below average. fries as a side dish. conceptually completely illogical. And then order at the counter instead of service.

The food was fine, especially the soja based shawarma, though otherwise not super special. The problem was that I found a bug at the bottom (so well inside) of my pita. When I told the staff they just said 'oh, ok' and then continued on. No apology, no acknowledgement, no other reaction. That may be even worse than the bug itself.

Very friendly and fast service, very interesting, extensive menu and fair prices. However, the pitas we ordered weren't great; there was too much meat and too much sauce. The overall composition wasn't right, the pickled vegetables didn't come through in terms of taste.

A place you should not miss out on when in Köln. GREAT food, nice atmosphere: very street food and relax and great location too. I absolutely recommend it. Staff is great too😉👍

Street food pour une cuisine israélienne avec des plats typiques. Très copieux. Il faut payer à l avance son menu et attendre qu on nous le serve.

Nish Nush in Cologne offers an outstanding experience for lovers of authentic Israeli cuisine.

We were here for lunch today (7/18/24). I found it a bit unusual that you have to order at the counter and pay directly. The meal was okay. My daughter had the Shakshuka Grandma’s Recipe. That was fantastic. I had the Haifas Street Shishlik, which was OK. Unfortunately it was too burnt and therefore had too much “roasted aroma”. The same with the Greenball Falaffel. These were also quite bitter because they had been fried for too long. The mint lemonade, on the other hand, was the final boss!!! Delicious. We would be happy to come back.

Delicious food, great team… always worth a visit.

Pedí Roasted Eggplant de entrada y Teller Aviv de segundo. El segundo hubiese sido suficiente, pero me alegro de haber pedido la berenjena. Probablemente uno de los platos más deliciosos que he probado en mi vida. Venía con Tahini, Granada y piñones. Espectacular!

Tried Israeli cuisine for the first time and it was really delicious. Overall quite oily and heavy but still tasty. Unfortunately, you go in to order and then take out your own cutlery. But overall we liked it.

Really delicious food & highly recommended.

I really like this place. It’s very tasty food that anyone can eat. They have a huge vegetarian selection . Staff is very friendly and the dish was very delicious. The only thing is not enough bread for this portion size. But the bread is fresh and very tasty . I had the Nish Nush with lamb meat and home-made iced tea. Iced tea, wolf, not that nice it was very tasteless but sometimes it happens The restaurant has a very modern design and it’s very cozy and the outside area is on one of the busiest streets of Cologne where many different restaurants are located and especially in the evening it’s very beautiful . In conclusion a nice place with very safe food where you can go with anyone.

I have mixed feelings about Nish Nush. I had shawarma with hummus and the Jerusalem salad. The hummous was super tasty, as was the salad, but I was a bit surprised that it was a normal salad with tomatoes and pine nuts. Other than the bread, I couldn't really relate this to Israeli cuisine. The shawarma was tasty but quite greasy. Unfortunately, the food was heavy on my stomach. I found the stay in the restaurant okay. We sat outside. We informed our table neighbors that they had to order inside. Unfortunately, there is no clear indication at the table. Overall, I found the prices too expensive for virtually no service. I ordered again with friends a few weeks later. Again the shawarma with hummus, with fries. The fries arrived as a soggy lump. Yes, it's a challenge to deliver fries, but no effort was made to bring them to the customer as crisp as possible. Unfortunately I had to throw away the fries. Food was again really heavy on my stomach. Overall, somehow tasty but also clearly a lot of room for improvement....

I spontaneously remembered as I was passing by that I hadn't had shakshuka in a long time — and we also tried the falafel and hummus. Everything was absolutely delicious and highly recommended.

Food was delicious, unfortunately the meat was cold :(

Delicious, authentic food and drink

Small cute restaurant with traditional Israeli food. Serve quickly and friendly

Very attentive service 👍 The food was super delicious 😋When we come to Cologne next year we will definitely go to Nish Nush again 😋👍

I've been there several times now and I think it's really great. Hummus very tasty, portions are very large, fries also good… cauliflower…. Mint lemonade… everything was perfect. Price very very humane. If you're not stupid and open your eyes, you'll immediately notice that you have to order at the counter... I also think it's great that there is a small Israeli oasis in Cologne, the shop is much better than the Arab alternatives.

A friend of mine recommended this restaurant. Unfortunately, it was bad fast food.

Cozy confinement, but everything fits. The food is a pleasure and people come because it tastes good, is affordable and the portion sizes are just right. Yummy Yummy Yummy...

We visited Nish Nush one evening and were able to get a table when the house was full. The gentleman at the counter pointed out to us that orders should only be placed at the counter. The table we were given was very small and unfortunately not particularly clean. The overall atmosphere in the restaurant was quite nice, but not overwhelming. It was well attended, which surprised us a bit in retrospect. The service was overall okay, but without any special attention. There were two men in service who didn't look at us and didn't talk to us or ask if everything was okay. Two ladies in service were wearing extremely skimpy shorts, but only one of them was friendly and gave us a smile. No one in service asked us if the food was tasty or if we were satisfied, which was very unusual. The food was served relatively quickly, but the quality left a lot to be desired. The fries were burnt and drowned in oil. The hummus was bitter and tasted excessively like sesame. The other dips and sauces were unremarkable in taste and some were really inedible. One of the sauces with turmeric was completely tasteless, and another sauce was basically just oil and some greens, which wasn't a highlight. The chicken shawarma was extremely greasy, and the vegan shawarma was also drenched in oil. Overall, the food was difficult to digest and left us with an unpleasant feeling in our stomachs. There was a lack of fresh vegetables that could have balanced out the heaviness of the dishes. Another unusual detail was that you had to pay for the food when you ordered it. This left no opportunity to tailor the tip to the service or quality of the food, which we found very unusual. The Israeli beer we tried wasn't recommended either - a Kölsch would have been a better choice. We were looking forward to authentic Israeli street food but were disappointed. The food was expensive and the taste was not convincing. The cleanliness of the toilet also left something to be desired. There is no risk of a repeat for us

Small but nice... Very tasty dishes... Super friendly staff... Absolutely recommended

The food is not authentic and unfortunately tasteless. Therefore, it's better to have the original from the Lebanese or Palestinian, because it tastes good too!

Extremely delicious dishes that took us back to Tel Aviv 😍 The employees were great, the music was great and the whole concept was really successful ☺️

Shawarma was good. Try the Moscow mule too.

Eat: It wasn't bad but disappointing. The fries were good but uninspired. Plus meat that was well seasoned. 5 sauces a small bowl of salad and packaged warm bread. It was well prepared but the food wasn't a highlight and for €19 I would have expected more. The dish was simply 30-40% too expensive for what you got. Service: As a customer, you are not informed that you have to order your food at the cash register and that the waiters do not point this out to you. During the visit, several customers waited in vain until they went to the checkout and asked why no one came to the table or why this wasn't pointed out. The place actually invites you to linger if you don't always have to pay for everything straight away and go to the checkout every time. Ambiance: Actually a nice place if the music wasn't too loud.

Large portion, a bit too much hummus, but overall very tasty! Card payment possible

Excellent restaurant, great service and super food. I had the Royal Jerusalem plate what was amazing 👍

Great atmosphere and delicious food that isn't available in every restaurant. However, had stomach problems after eating.

Super tasty (especially the hummus) and absolutely recommended if you are in Cologne.

What a great restaurant!!! I've been to Tel Aviv a lot for work and Nish Nush is 100% authentic. Food and ambience top 🔝-> Service: Order and pay straight away at the bar, then the food and drinks are brought. I will definitely come back when I am in Cologne.

Everything was delicious and the service was super fast. The falafel is highly recommended, brutal 🤤.

Very tasty Israeli food. Unfortunately, the music inside was a bit too loud for our taste.

I visited this restaurant for the first time last week and was disappointed with the food but even more so with the service. The concept doesn't seem to include any service because you come in and can find your own seat and then browse the menu. Then you have to get up again and go to the checkout front to order and pay directly. You are then served a mediocre canteen-style meal. Price performance doesn't work for me here!

The food and homemade cocktails were very good! A little too tight inside, but still comfortable.

The food is super delicious! However, the service could be a little friendlier. The ambience is also a bit uncomfortable due to the rows of high tables where there is little space.

Came in here by chance and left REALLY excited! Real tip! I've been there several times now.

We were here for the first time and absolutely loved it. The food was great and tasty, the service was very friendly and super helpful (we were there with 2 small children). It's all a bit tight, but you get along. We'd love to come back.

We ate very well and had a great evening there! The dishes taste great, with lots of fresh vegetables and are delicately spiced with oriental flavors. The pitas always come out of the oven warm and also taste wonderful. We'll definitely be back!!

Delicious food. In love with the traditional hummus. Always come back here.

All in all excellent. The hummus "Tel Aviv" tasted very good, as did the GoldStar beer. The atmosphere was pleasant.

I visited this establishment today and found the food to be exceptionally delicious. However, I encountered some language barriers with the server, as he did not make an effort to communicate in English. Despite this, the waitress was very friendly and accommodating. Overall, I would rate my experience as 4 stars."

The food is great every time we are here and the staff is very nice. If the shop were a little bigger, there would be room for more people, but it is what it is and it's nice to sit outside in the summer.

The menu has a big variety of mostly Pali dishes. It's good Pali cuisine has a place in Cologne. I can recommend the Knafeh, a tasty dessert from the city of Nablus, P4lestine. VIVA Watermelonia

It was a great experience. The price is worth it, the food is good and plentiful. There is no misery there. I was served by very friendly guys and I loved the experience. A place that saved me. Close to the hotel, and very tasty and welcoming. I recommend!

Very tasty and authentic cuisine, plus fast and attentive service. The portions are more than sufficient. Only the seating options are sometimes not very comfortable. But overall recommended!

Cool shop, delicious food but the shop is quite narrow and that makes it a bit hectic.

The food is spectacular, everything is very good and with very filling dishes. Quality price is very good. The drinks are a little expensive but the food is great. The super bowl is delicious and comes with a lot of food. The place is a little small, the only drawback is that the tables are very close together, but otherwise everything is very good.

I liked the place and the food even more! The only bad thing is that you have to order at the bar. For dinner I ordered a pomegranate ice tea, a plate of hummus to share, very good by the way, and a delicious super bowl. The quality-price ratio is very good and the quantity is also considerable.

The food was very tasty and delivered quickly. The staff also very friendly. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Incredibly delicious and best of all, it's Israeli 🇮🇱❤️

Das Essen ist super. Abzug beim Service und Ambiente, da man selbst an der Theke bestellen muss, wenn man was möchte. Das macht es für mich ungemütlich und störend.

Kleiner, enger (gemütlicher?) Laden mit israelischem Fastfood. Das Essen und die Getränke werden an der Theke bestellt und bezahlt. Schnelle Lieferung zum Tisch. Sehr, sehr gut besucht. Das Essen ok, nichts Überragendes, viel vegetarisch, viel vegan.

Das Essen ist hervorragend, wenn auch ziemlich teuer für einen Imbiss mit Selbstbedienung (Bestellung muss man vorne machen, Besteck nimmt man selbst, Essen wird gebracht). Leider wird wenig geheizt, sodass wir beim Essen unsere dicken Winterjacken anlassen mussten.

ARABISCHES essen und noch so schlecht zubereitet 🤦🏻‍♀️ nie wieder.

Food was excellent. Staff very friendly and attentive. General vibe of the restaurant was also really nice

Man bestellt an der Theke und bekommt es dann zum Tisch gebracht. Das Essen schmeckt sehr gut und die Portionen sind gut. Preis/Leistung passt. Ambiente ist ok. Wir werden wieder kommen.

Einfach unfassbar gut, wir kommen wieder!

Quick service, great Hummus takes me back to streets in Tel Aviv.

We tried many different dishes. All were tasty and my favorite was mama fries. Falafel was a bit overcooked. Service could be better. Cocktails were good, would recommend moscow mule.

Essen ist gut, der Service leider etwas langsam trotz nur weniger Gäste.

Portion and prices were the best we found in cologne. The lemonade was also great. The only place we went to in cologne that had these portion sizes and didn’t make us pay for still water. Me and my girlfriend couldn’t finish a single meal. ( the traditional one with chicken) Got to try Israeli beer. definitely recommend. The light kept flickering above our table but just thought that was funny cause it only did it when you tapped the metal bar next to your seat. The guy who served us was super nice too. Nice toilets too.

Das Nish Nush ist eine Mischung aus einem Club und einem gehobenen Imbiss bzw. Streetfood-Restaurant. Das Ambiente ist sehr nett, das Publikum überwiegend jung und mag laute Musik. Das Essen ist überwiegend sehr lecker - das gilt für das Brot, das Taboule, Shawarma oder Fritten. Der Eistee Granatapel wird offenbar mit Sirup gemacht - mit Granatapfelsaft (frisch oder auch konserviert) wäre er für mich noch leckerer. Unterm Strich eine klare Empfehlung!

Ekelhaft einfach dreckig der Laden . Bitte nicht hingehen

Einfach wundervoll. Das Essen schmeckt himmlisch, die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich und die Lage ist auch perfekt. War schon mehrfach dort und komme gerne wieder. Eine absolute Empfehlung!

Essen lecker Service passt nicht

Meze, especially the Baba Ganoush, are amazing...

Sehr spannender und unglaublich leckerer Ort. Das Konzept mit an der Theke bestellen ist okay, die Menschen dort unglaublich freundlich. Leider war es etwas zugig.

Essen war am sich lecker, auch die Getränke dazu.

Das Essen war an sich gut nur etwas zu fettig und paar Gewürze haben uns nicht geschmeckt. Das ist aber Geschmacksache.

Tasty food Cool music Great service crew

Amazing restaurant and offers authentic experience. You gotta order first pay and then wait at your table. The staff is very friendly and nice. Every dish is yummy but my favorite is Grandma’s recipe( Grandma's Shakshuka Gerichte ) with Laffa bread and beer 🍺

Das Essen war fantastisch und ist nur weiterzuempfehlen! Die Portionen und Getränke sind sehr groß und lecker und jeden Cent wert!

Called in for a drink, great music, great decor, great guy serving drinks, not too great the mouse running in and out of the kitchen!!!! Thankfully we hadn't eaten here!

Neutrale Begrüßung, wir wurden aufgefordert, an den Tresen zu kommen, um dort zu bestellen und zu bezahlen - dort unterbrachen andere Gäste meinen Bezahlvorgang, sie bezahlten allerdings NACH ihrem Essen. Speisekarte deckte sich nicht mit Online-Menükarte via QR-Code, dort waren anderer/weitere Gerichte angeboten, allerdings ohne Preis. Jerusalem Market Salad war eher Wanne-Eickel-Mensa-Teller: Die Mehrzahl der auf den Tisch lediglich abgestellten Gerichte war stillos, uninspiriert, fad, gewürzlos, Gemüse schien vom Discounter, teilweise ungesalzen. Suppe enthielt wahrscheinlich Discounter-Erbspüree, mit 2 mm Olivenöl-Topping. Brötchen waren lieblos-geschmacklos und schienen reich an Konservierungsstoffen. Obgleich Angestellte alle paar Minuten an unserem Mini-Tisch vorbeischrammten, fragte keiner nach unserer Meinung zum Essen. Außer des Zahlvorgangs gab es keine Kommunikation mit den Angestellten. Lichtblick: Die kaum zu erkennenden Cocktails auf dem Cover der Speisekarte waren top, inspiriert, einzigartig, stilvoll kredenzt und absolut die Anreise wert!

Sehr sympathisches kleines Streetfoodrestaurant. An einem Freitag muss man Zeit mitbringen um einen Tisch zu bekommen, denn reservieren kann man leider nicht. Aber wir würden sehr freundlich empfangen, das Essen kam super schnell und wir hatten einen wirklich schönen Abend!

Lecker war es, aber das Lamm war schon ein bisschen zu kühl. Man bestellt und zahlt selber autark, aber fühlt sich vom Service betreut. Gerne wieder.
