Restaurant Malakow in Essen

The prettiest beer garden in Altenessen with very friendly service and delicious schnitzels.

Today I was there at a car meeting. The coffee prices were outrageous. A half-full small cup cost 3.30€. The service didn't give any change, so it cost 3.50€. I'm not a penny pincher by any means and I like to tip, but I'm reluctant to do so given the prices. Many visitors complained about the amount of coffee, cocoa or other hot drinks as well as the prices. I'll be back once and never again.

Very tasty, and the service is incredibly friendly and attentive. We love going here.

We love the beer garden. Friendly, cheerful service, even when it's busy. There's something delicious on the menu for everyone, including vegans and schnitzel fans. Thursday is schnitzel day, a daily special. Comfortable seating, plenty of umbrellas. Free parking. Kids can run around in the courtyard. Very dog-friendly. It's a great place to meet up with friends or enjoy a delicious meal before an event.

Great restaurant with a small menu, something for everyone.

The restaurant was packed last night. The service was completely overwhelmed. The waiter was inattentive. We had to wait an hour for our food. Disappointing! ☹️

Beautiful ambiance, great atmosphere for indoor and outdoor seating, very cozy! The food was delicious and very fresh. I had a vegan dish, which I really enjoyed!

Service was top... Marit served us. Beer 0.5 liters expensive at 5.90 euros. Food prepared tasty. Schnitzel quality nothing special, but okay. Nice atmosphere outside in the beer garden.

Rarely have I been so disappointed, great weather, the terrace is currently being built, there are enough staff, but no one is able to sell me a fresh Stauder! Very bad service! What's even worse is not admitting the mistake and apologizing! It was 7 p.m., your restaurant was open, four tables were occupied inside, two people were sitting at two tables outside with freshly tapped beers in front of them. Their very young and noticeably insecure employee behind the bar told me he had already gotten in trouble because he had sold something to the people sitting outside and they were now in the way of the staff setting up. I then assured him that I would stand around the corner, wouldn't be in anyone's way and would even be willing to leave a deposit for the glass. But he was so intimidated that he didn't want to get involved in anything. Honestly, you don't even deserve one star for this reaction to the comment!

The food was very tasty and the service was super friendly and attentive :). We had the penne arrabiater and the gnocchi with oyster mushrooms as a vegetarian dish. Highly recommended, we will be back.

We were here for the second time. Each had a very tasty schnitzel. Everything was great 👍

We attended the 2024 New Year's Eve party in the restaurant and on the premises of the Zeche Carl mine. The four-course menu was absolutely delicious, all the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The music mix was fantastic, and the (unfortunately necessary) security always made us feel completely safe and was pleasantly discreet. We'll be back next time!

What's particularly worth mentioning is that there's truly something for everyone on the menu. The vegan dishes are also truly delicious!

Four of us dined at the Malakow restaurant, very close to the Zeche Carl mine in Essen, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable evening. For my main course, I opted for the salad of the day with Camembert and ham – an original and flavorfully compelling choice. I also ordered the classic bruschetta, which was a real highlight with its freshness and intense flavors. A freshly tapped Stauder beer was a must – traditional and perfect for the Ruhr area atmosphere. After years of being rather disappointed with regional cuisine, the Malakow pleasantly surprised me and showed me that quality can indeed be found in the Ruhr area. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable – the daily menu was presented to us in full and with enthusiasm. Particularly worthy of mention is the homemade iced tea, which, although not tried by me, was tasted by one of my companions and praised as exceptionally delicious. Here, freshly brewed tea is still lovingly prepared and refined with subtlety. The surroundings and ambiance are also impressive: There's plenty of parking, even when events are taking place at Zeche Carl. The restaurant's quiet, pleasant atmosphere invites you to linger, and details like disinfectant dispensers at the entrances and exits demonstrate that even the smallest details are taken care of. The portions are generous, the prices fair, and I sincerely hope that Malakow can maintain this quality in the long term. It was a successful evening, and I'm already looking forward to returning soon – perhaps in conjunction with a visit to Zeche Carl!

Small but fine menu - especially for schnitzel friends - antipasti plate is recommended - we will be back

Relax and enjoy the end of the day, chill, and eat delicious food! Always happy to come back! 👍

Completely successful! Great and attentive service. Really delicious food and, above all, there is something for everyone. We were definitely not there for the last time. Great value for money.

Very unfriendly staff with poor knowledge of German

Top - good price-performance ratio - gladly again

Great restaurant with very tasty food. Prices are fair.

Great gastronomy, we have been coming regularly with 8 people for years THURSDAYS for dinner. We wouldn't do that if our demands were more than met in every respect. Erkan and his girls are simply great.

Very friendly service and always attentive!

The food was delicious, the service was very nice and attentive and everything was very reasonably priced. We will be back!

Just stopped in for a few drinks. Service quick and friendly. Prices really acceptable.

Very good food, portion more than enough. Service totally friendly and personable. Whenever I'm in Essen again, I'll be a guest again straight away

Very nice here. Yummy. If there isn't much going on, you can fly out of here earlier. So nothing for a long evening. Most of the time there is little going on here in the evenings.

Leider ist das früher hier ansaessige Lokal einem arroganten Yuppistyle mit unverschaemtem Personal gewichen. Es gab viele freie Tische die angeblich alle reserviert waren. Man solle warten. Nach einer halben Stunde waren die Tische immer noch leer und wir sind gegangen weil der Kellner nach Anfrage ziemlich patzig wurde. Merkwürdiges Geschaeftsmodell dem man das Scheitern nur wünschen kann.

In contrast to the fast food chains, you can get something decent here for the same price. Ambiance is incredibly inviting and the waitresses are simply bomb.

Cozy restaurant, small menu but still something for everyone. The burger, schnitzel and wraps were super delicious. 👍 Only the glasses for the Coke (flat and wide, look like tea lights) are not so practical. 😊 We will definitely come back and look forward to the beer garden!

Great food and very nice staff! Can only recommend…

We just drank coffee, waited for the event to open, very nice staff 👍very friendly I can only recommend

Nice service, delicious food. Prices are ok. Some of the tables are in cold and drafty areas.

Wir haben hier sehr gut gespeist. Die Bruschetta, wahlweise mit Feta, war sehr gut abgeschmeckt und eine gute Wahl zum Einstieg. Als Hauptgerichte hatten wir einen sehr saftigen Burger mit frischen Kartoffelchips, Duroc Schwein im Speckmantel, Butterzart. Und Schnitzel in Pfeffer Rahmsoße. Alles sehr gut präsentiert, fein abgeschmeckt und lecker. Zum Abschluss Tiramisu mit frischen Früchten. Ein Genuss! Der Service ist nett und effektiv. Das Preis Leistungsverhältnis stimmt. Gern wieder!

Very tasty, down-to-earth food. The bruschetta was very tasty. Optionally with feta. The burger was very juicy, the Duroc pork wrapped in bacon was excellent and buttery tender. And the schnitzel in pepper cream sauce was also delicious. As we all know, tiramisu always works. Served with fresh fruit, very tasty. The service was nice and efficient. Good price-performance ratio.

Punktabzug für die Atmosphäre und die harten Stühle, Personal freundlich doch leider zu wenig daher kein guter Service. Essen war super.

Das Essen und die Bedienung waren super. Aber die Bestuhlung war sehr ungemütlich kalte Plastikstühle in denen man sich nicht wohlfühlen kann. Die passen einfach nicht in das Lokal.

Donnerstag ist Schnitzeltag!!! Lecker!!! Sehr zu empfehlen!!!

Schönes kleines Restaurant,Essen Top

Das Essen war super. Das Personal sehr gestresst, leider. Draußen sitzen war trotz gutem Wetter nicht möglich weil der Herr die Ketten der Stühle nicht losmachen wollte 😕😕

Nice spot, off the beaten track, a good place to sit on a early evening be aware that it doesn´t open before 17.00

Ganz lieber Service. Ganz tolles Essen. Immer wieder gern.

Speisekarte könnte mal was neues bieten. Seit Jahren gleich. Essen schmeckt gut, vor allem Schnitzel und co. Service ist sehr gut. Grosse Portionen.

Wir wurden freundlich empfangen. Die Auswahl an Speisen und Getränken ist gut. Tageskarte beachten! Gute Portionen, frisch, lecker. Preis/Leistung passen. Wartezeiten passen. Innen urig, draußen super Ambiente Gerne wieder

leckeres Essen. Leider keine Auswahl für Kinder. Diese können aus der Karte wählen und bekommen eine kleine Portion. Aber die Gerichte sind in der Kombination nicht unbedingt das, was Kinder mögen.

Kann man nur weiter empfehlen, einfach Top. Die Kellnerinnen sind auch sehr nett.

Sehr leckeres Essen, sehr schöner Biergarten und super Service, waren nicht zum letzten mal da

Vorweg,... die junge Mitarbeiterin, die uns bedient hat, war einfach toll, sehr freundlich, sehr professionell, fröhlich und hilfsbereit 👍👍👍👍👍👍 Wir waren zu 4. im Malakow, zum Abendessen. Die Vorspeisen, Bruschetta, sehr 😋 😋 😋 Auch die Hauptgerichte, z. B. Schnitzel, einfach lecker. Bei den Getränken gab es ein kleines Problem, wurde aber sehr gut und problemlos von der Servicekraft geklärt. Klare Empfehlung Parkplätze sind genügend vorhanden Eingang ebenerdig

Ich fand 13,80 für zwei Getränke und einmal Nachos mit Käse AEG happig.

Food was fantastic quality. I had schnitzel and the children had the burgers. All very fresh and very tasty. Also great value for money.

Cooles Restaurant, leckeres Essen, super nette Bedienung!

Kleine aber absolut ausreichende Karte. Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis und nettes Personal. Im Sommer eine sehr schöne Terrasse zum draußen sitzen.

Das Essen war sehr lecker, die Servicekräfte super nett und aufmerksam. Die Idee, die Wartezeit vor einem Konzert in netter Atmosphäre zu überbrücken, haben aber auch andere, also vorher besser reservieren. 😊

Sehr nettes zuvorkommendes Personal. Das Essen war sehr lecker und die Preise angemessen. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Nettes kleines Restaurant am Veranstaltungsort Zeche Carl. Das Essen (ich hatte die veganen Tagliatelle mit Walnuss und Blumenkohl in Sojasauce) hat mir sehr geschmeckt. :)

Es war alles ok hatte nur einen Milchkaffee.

Sehr schöne Location. Tolles Essen zu sehr zivilen Preisen. Freundliches, schnelles Personal. Kommen sehr gerne wieder.

Übersichtliche Karte, ohne Überraschungen. Der Service war ein wenig unaufmerksam, wir hätten sonst mehr getrunken. Sehr nettes Ambiente! Trotzdem vielen Dank.

Freundliche Kellner , leckeres Essen. Immer wieder gerne ❤️

Leckeres Essen..fantastische Cocktails..alles ist köstlich..tolles, mega nettes Team und Preise sind Top😍 immer wieder gerne..kann ich extrem weiterempfehlen..einfach Klasse

Nette Mitarbeiter und super Atmosphäre. Voller Ruhrpott Charme in seiner feinsten Form

Gehen immer wieder gerne da hin..

Lecker gegessen bevor es zur Party geht👍🏼🦇🖤
