urban kitchen in Heidelberg

Nice location and great food. In our time slot a big group of 20 young people ordered before us. Little more long to wait for meal. Kids friendly, because they have removed things from burger for them. Location in the cave of an old swimminghal. You need to reservate a table in advance.

Cool place, nice crowd. Everything's perfect, and the burger is 🍔 great

Quite nicely decorated and a young, friendly clientele – but that's where it ends on a positive note. Pizza rolls swimming in the dressing of the decorative salad, with the undersides correspondingly disgustingly slimy, extra cheese in the burger that wasn't there at all, then only partially melted, and was still used very sparingly. The crowning glory of this unspeakable dining experience was a long hair in the burger. We did get new pizza rolls (again with salad, even though we specifically ordered it away, but at least without the dressing), but no apology, not even the smallest discount, or a free drink to make up for the hair in the burger, which really spoiled our appetites. This place and we at least share one thing – everyone involved is surely glad never to see each other again. We would recommend giving the restaurant a wide berth, where we unfortunately also celebrated our 50th birthdays.

I have been to urban kitchen many times and it’s always been a pleasure. I would definitely recommend the brunch. But dinner is also really nice, they have a big interior space and chill decoration that makes you feel like you’re in your own living room. The cocktails are also fun and always served with a little something. Oh and I almost forgot the best part, the blueberry crumble… you guys… just wowww

I was there twice. The atmosphere is quite good and you can meet up with larger groups there. But the food wasn't tasty on both occasions. Thai basil with rice wasn't authentic and I can't recommend the burger either (burned patty). Both times we had to wait about an hour until the dishes were served. It wasn't worth the wait.

There are very tasty drinks (also according to special requests), food is also completely okay (burgers and pizza rolls tried and found to be good) all in all a nice stay. The billing process could be simplified a bit.

Unfortunately, service was not very attentive, but very accommodating when making reservations etc. It is also suitable for groups as there are many large tables. It was very cold in the back room and the toilet smelled unpleasantly of mint. But the food was super tasty, great selection, lots of vegetarian dishes

Super nice waitress & the salad with goat cheese was super tasty :)

Great atmosphere! Busy brunch location with lots of options and at a perfect price. Staff were friendly especially at the front welcoming new guests.

Well, I'm from England and it's super tasty. I prefer sausage

We went to Heidelberg for a few days' short break last year. Once, we tried the breakfast buffet at Urban Kitchen. It was unbeatable! Not only super delicious and with a good selection (not run-of-the-mill, including vegan options), but also more than reasonable for the price. The next day, we spontaneously went back for cocktails and a snack – the food was equally impressive. The ambiance is also very appealing, perhaps a bit noisy in the evenings – it's up to each individual to decide. We had great luck both times, but for larger groups, I would recommend making a reservation.

I recently visited Urban Kitchen and had an absolutely amazing dining experience! I tried the Little Veggie Burger along with the Kiwi Zitrone homemade drink, and both were exceptional. The veggie burger was one of the best I’ve ever had, full of flavor, and incredibly satisfying. The drink was refreshing, with the perfect balance of kiwi and citrus, making it a delightful complement to the meal. Beyond the food, the atmosphere was fantastic—modern, cozy, and welcoming. The service was also great, with friendly staff ensuring a wonderful dining experience. If you’re looking for a spot that serves delicious food with a great vibe, Urban Kitchen is definitely worth a visit! Highly recommended

The food was okay and my wife said the breakfast there was great, but due to the somewhat high prices and the very long wait, I probably won't be going there for lunch more often.

Very large and modern restaurant. The waitresses were all very friendly but a little overwhelmed with our large group. Unfortunately my food wasn't that good. The feta from the oven with vegetables was very small and very unseasoned and the equally small portion of fries had already cooled down quite a bit. I think unisex toilets are totally ok. However, for a restaurant of this size they would have to be cleaned regularly. Or at least more regularly than when we visited...

Great service, delicious food, good cocktails, reservations recommended even during the week!

Very nice—had a business lunch. Attentive service and a variety of seating options, both lively and quiet.

Top 👌 was here for the first time today and I'm thrilled. Food was great and the service was very friendly. Good selection of vegetarian and also some vegan dishes.

Great food. Worth the price. I think the options are somewhat limited though. An Urban Kitchen should offer more.

We were treated in a very disrespectful way. I wonder if it was because we have a different background. Personally I can't recommend this place if my mother and I want to enjoy the weather while being served by such a staff member. He answered annoyed and was friendly to other guests, while we thanked them and he simply walked away annoyed.

Everything is just perfect, environment, staff, breakfast and coffee

Great breakfast buffet at a good price. I also had dinner in the evening and it was also delicious.

Went there for coffee and cake. Great cafe but prices are a bit high.

Great location, very friendly staff, prices reasonable. Hardly any waiting time and very tasty food.

Super nice staff, great food and everything was clean. Price performance is definitely right!! Reservation is necessary, otherwise you have little chance of getting a place

Great breakfast buffet with a play area for the little ones

Great ambience Cheap lunch menu

Delicious food, great ambience. Service is quick and friendly. Clear recommendations

In general, very good food and drinks, however (for Italians) the so-called bruschetta cannot be called such. NON-toasted bread with tasteless tomatoes and "pesto" on top, a mountain of unseasoned salad on the side to hide the bruschetta. The result of the tomatoes on the untoasted bread was bread mush (felt like eating a sponge) Despite this, service, burgers and fries were impeccable. I would stay here again in any case.

Very nice, modern, cozy location in the old indoor swimming pool. Audiences of all ages are mixed, with the twenties and thirties predominating. Very nice, courteous, polite staff. And of course delicious, delicious food. We had the German and a vegetarian burger with fries and then a chocolate soufflé. It was an overall nice visit.

Everything is fine, thank you very much

We kwamen bij Urban terecht omdat we hier eerder gepasseerd waren en her er gezellig uitzag. Gelukkig was er nog plaats, want we hadden niet gereserveerd en met Valentijnsavond was het er druk. Gezellig zitten, heel vriendelijke en snelle bediening. We hebben hier lekker gegeten en vonden dir wel een aanrader!

Todo lo que teníamos era excelente. Muy sabroso. Porciones razonables. Precio razonable. Opciones de menú variadas. Muchas opciones veganas y vegetarianas.

Soooo delicious and friendly staff

Always been there for the regulars' table. Pizza rolls and the spritzers are always a good combination.

There is a large selection of dishes and a large breakfast buffet, even until 2 p.m. on Sundays. There are also some vegan options: pizza, burgers, 2 curries, pizza rolls and a soup.

We had breakfast with you on a Sunday morning. We couldn't have found a more perfect end to our trip to Heidelberg. Despite our ugly faces, the smiles of your employees were a highlight of this great hotel. We thank you.

Even though the shop was very busy, we were given a table and felt welcome. The staff was friendly and attentive. Our breakfast was very tasty and more filling than expected. We'd love to come back when we're in Heidelberg

Service was nice, food varied and very good. Ambience top

We love the buffet on weekends. I come here often with my kids because there is a play area.

Very nice:) Friendly service Fast service It's very busy at the buffet... There's a lot of people queuing up on all sides and the staff has to get through there too.

We’ve visited this restaurant twice now, and it’s quickly become one of our favorites! The first time we went, we didn’t expect it to be so spacious, but we were pleasantly surprised by how many seats and different areas it offers. The decor and interior design are very beautiful, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes dining here very enjoyable. As for the menu, the prices are reasonable, and the food is delicious. For starters or side dishes, we highly recommend the pizza pockets—they were perfectly prepared, and we enjoyed every single bite. Another standout was the avocado toast, which was flavorful and satisfying. During that first visit, we also discovered they offer a breakfast buffet, which caught our attention immediately. We decided to return specifically to try the breakfast buffet, and it didn’t disappoint. The buffet is available every day, with slightly different hours and pricing. From Monday to Saturday, it runs from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and costs €11.95. On Sundays, they offer the “Great Urban Sunday Breakfast Buffet,” which runs from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM and costs €17.95. However, the Sunday buffet is so popular that reservations are a must—ideally made one to two weeks in advance. Without a reservation, you’re unlikely to find a spot, especially during peak times. When we finally experienced the Sunday buffet, we were impressed by the variety of dishes available. Although we had expected an even larger selection in a separate area, the options were still excellent, and the quality of the food was top-notch. It was quite busy, as expected, and we noticed that guests without reservations often had to wait or come back another time. Highlights from the buffet included the Frikadelle, which were flavorful and perfectly cooked, as well as the delightful pastry desserts. They offered as well a range of juices, which meant we didn’t need to order anything extra. For families, the restaurant thoughtfully includes a children’s area, so kids can have fun while their parents enjoy the meal nearby. Overall, we had a wonderful experience, and we’re already planning to return to try more dishes from their menu. This is definitely a place worth visiting :)

Staff very nice, breakfast buffet large selection.

A manageable but varied menu with delicious dishes, fast and friendly service that is also very attentive throughout the meal. Good gin menu. Atmosphere is appealing, but also quite loud when it is at full capacity. There is no cell phone network inside the restaurant - which is generally not a problem, but is problematic with call services.

Remember to make reservation at weekends =) Lovely burger

A wonderfully beautiful restaurant. The urban DNA is reflected very well in the interior design. The staff is super friendly and goes out of their way to make the customers feel special, really great service. The food is as you would expect and the price/performance ratio is top. Overall, a true recommendation, especially for a target group of students. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I've known the Urban Kitchen for a very long time and I still can't get used to this color-inappropriate, not really nice graffiti. We were there yesterday and everything else went great. The employees are very friendly and accommodating. I hope the owners see my review positively. If the graffiti was done by their children, a new coat of paint after five years will definitely be welcome. Anyone with an eye for design knows what I mean by that. Really really hurts because the rest is set up appropriately. Best regards

We are thrilled! Because of the many positive Google reviews, we reserved a table for 5 people for New Year's Eve (short vacation in Heidelberg). The ambience was extraordinary and beautiful, the service was very friendly, attentive and quick (despite many guests on New Year's Eve). The food was a culinary fireworks !!! From starter to the main course. The meat was perfectly prepared, the food was fresh, hot and extremely tasty. Unfortunately we couldn't fit any more desserts.😉 The drinks were a great pleasure and with the generous selection we were spoiled for choice. We ordered the Urban Pizza Rolls, an anti-pasti starter plate for 2, the Urban Chicken Tandoori Salad, the Thai Basil Chili, the Extended Urban Burger, the Urban's Bacon Burger No2, Urban Fries, sweet potato fries and the breadless burger "The German " (see photo). We can completely recommend EVERYTHING! We say THANK YOU, will definitely come back and recommend this great restaurant 100%!

We were there on New Year's Eve from 9:15 p.m. Very well located for us as we were practically only a 3 minute walk from the hotel. We reserved the table via OpenTable and didn't know the place before. The pictures online don't do the ambience justice. It is very large, festively decorated with lots of balloons on New Year's Eve and otherwise very cool. The employees were all very quick, polite and in a good mood despite the full place. We had cocktail, beer, long drink, water, pizza and Thai curry. The food was very tasty and the portions were appropriate for the price. Cocktail was also good. Without a tip our bill was €54. If I lived in Heidelberg, I would be a regular guest 😊😊.

I love this place, it's my favorite to eat in HD. Cozy, clean environment with always friendly and kind staff (this time we were served by Fabienne, what a kind, attentive and diligent girl! THANK YOU). The service is always fast and the food quality/price/quantity is super satisfactory and recommended. I have never had problems getting a table but it is usually busy, it is better to reserve. The cocktails and drinks are also a 10.

Mega evening on New Year's Eve, top service (Dominika). Food was great, everything was great 👍

Very tasty and reasonable price

Have been here twice so far, the food was good and the service was always friendly. We will definitely come here again

This place is very good for breakfast. Service is attentive and courteous. will definitely visit this place again. The open buffet is very rich and has something for everyone, from vegan to very hearty.

There is still room for improvement when it comes to the quality and taste of the curry dishes.

Visited on a Thursday evening. Super crowded Vibe is good, food is good Pricing abit on the higher side. Worst part is had to wait for an hour for the food. Order the My Thai with Prawns Super delicious ❤️

Not recommended! The older waiter named Tobias was pushy and unpleasant. Sexual innuendos and bad jokes spoiled our visit. There was no consideration given to someone else's request to be served. Here you should think about who you let work on the guest and who you don't.

The waitresses were very unbearable and rude

Very rustic schnitzel pub with perfect service 🫶🏼

Family-friendly, fresh and inexpensive. Having a little patience helps. Reservation is recommended

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, ich möchte Ihnen von meinem letzten Besuch im Urban Kitchen Restaurant berichten. Ich habe einen Salat bestellt und war sehr geschockt, als ich beim Essen eine dicke Motte auf dem Salat entdeckte. Sofort habe ich die Kellnerin gerufen, und als ein Kellner kam, habe ich ihm die Situation geschildert. Er hat sich freundlich entschuldigt und mir ein Getränk angeboten. Ich habe zuvor bereits zweimal mit meiner Familie in Ihrem Restaurant gegessen, allerdings nie einen Salat bestellt. Ich habe den Eindruck, dass die Mitarbeiter zwar nett sind, aber möglicherweise überfordert wirken. Da ich großen Wert auf die Qualität meiner Speisen lege, erwarte ich für den Preis, den man zahlt, Sauberkeit, Geschmack und frisch zubereitete Gerichte. Das Restaurant liegt zentral und ist gut zu Fuß erreichbar, was es zu einem angenehmen Ort macht, um Zeit mit Freunden und Familie zu verbringen, besonders im Sommer, wenn man draußen sitzen kann. Dennoch denke ich, dass der Restaurant-Manager an der Essensvorbereitung und den Hygienestandards arbeiten sollte, um solche Vorfälle in Zukunft zu vermeiden. Mit freundlichen Grüßen

We were there for brunch. Great selection. Price was right. Recommended.

Cool location, nice staff and the food is also ok.

Die Atmosphäre ist einladend und entspannt. Meine Frage einen ruhiger gelegenen Tisch zu bekommen kein Problem. Wir wählten den Mittagstisch und wir waren mit dem Preisleistungsangebot des Essens sehr zufrieden. Ich werde ganz sicher bald wieder hingehen, denn es gibt verschiedene Sitzmöglichkeiten in den weitläufigen Räumlichkeiten, was ich sehr schön finde. Die Bedienung hat unsere Fragen freundlich beantwortet. Also alles in allem ein perfekter Rahmen sich mit Freunden zu treffen, oder auch alleine essen zu gehen.

Good to very good service (Tobias's best man!) Food was rather mixed from ok to good. Prices, especially the drinks, are a bit overpriced.

Great location, great value for money and ultra-friendly service.

Es war sehr gut. Lecker Essen und schoenes Ambiente.

Today we spontaneously went to eat at the urban kitchen. The ambience was great, very clocky and with attention to detail. The food was so-so. A starter was forgotten and then came with the main course, the burgers were sublime. The patties were dry, partly burnt on the edges and cold. The mayo and aioli already had a skin and tasted old. All in all, the four of us expected more and were disappointed.

Went there spontaneously because we met a friend in Heidelberg. Were very positively surprised. Very cool location, and the burger is great.

Highly recommended!!! Chili cheese burger is super delicious and apple crumble is fantastic!

Very nice burger and cocktail place. Was very delicious and price/performance was very good!

Great location, often very busy, be sure to make a reservation, varied menu and very friendly staff despite the full house

-Sehr gute Auswahl - guter Preis -schönes Ambiente -nette Bedienung

Found by chance, nice menu, lots of drinks. Swrvice quick and friendly. Food was delicious (burger with 2x meat), fries and 2 dips. Gladly again.. Price/performance are absolutely ok. You can no longer eat cheaply if you expect a bit of quality.

Great location. Very good selection at the buffet (Sunday), have been there several times and have always been very satisfied. Everything is delicious and fresh... it is replenished quickly and the staff is always friendly.

I like the vibe of this place. Very friendly staff. We tried their brunch menu, which was also satisfying.

Why is it rated so well here? 2 stars for the nice ambience - the food was an absolute failure. The menu is limited to some Asian food, pizza and burgers. I didn't try the latter, but they looked delicious. But every train station snack bar does a better job of My Thai Gematsche and the pizza tastes like nothing at all, or the first attempt by a student shared apartment with ready-made dough from Rewe and a pack of mozzarella. 2 out of 3 categories are really a total failure and I'm not a gourmet etc. But you should be able to do a BIT better if you're already practicing culinary "cultural appropriation". This is a great place to drink with friends, no question. But I will never eat there again

My favorite brunch in Heidelberg

Excellent restaurant in town. It was delicious and pleasant. They have a good deal at noon. Great restaurant

Pizza pretty good, atmosphere quite nice, cocktail quite H2O-heavy...

Schneller, freundlicher Service, große Auswahl, gute Qualität

The food and service are solid. The location is great because there are many tables in different corners. You are something for yourself. The light is also very pleasant and slightly dimmed in the evenings, which creates a good atmosphere. You can't go wrong here.

Große Auswahl an „üblichen“, veganen und vegetarischen Speisen; sehr freundliche und zuvorkommende Mitarbeiter, Essen und Getränke kamen schnell, gerne wieder

Portion of burgers okay, service great and great ambience. I'd love to come back. If you're lucky, you can spontaneously find a place with a group of up to 10 people.

basically everything is good. not great but good. When it's full it gets tough and a game of patience. at least the quality doesn't suffer. you can go there, stable without altitude air.

Totally great atmosphere and very tasty food, served by super friendly staff!! We would love to come back.

Sehr nettes Personal, Essen war lecker 😋. Schnelle Bedienung aber nicht zu aufdringlich! Alles tip top

I've been there three/four times. For breakfast or in the evening. The service is always great, but due to the size it sometimes takes a while for someone to arrive. I always find food delicious. Small menu, but something for everyone. The location is great, but unfortunately a bit noisy, that's the only disadvantage. Everything else really good 👍

Reservierung war einfach. Reservierungsänderung durch hilfreiche Unterstützung super. Frühstück wie immer große Auswahl und freundliche Bedienung.

Always nice staff and good food. Extremely comfortable for meeting friends

Service snippy and stressed. Fries cold. Guacamole tasted fermented.

Their sweet potato fries and aioli was SO good! The ambiance was very cool and the staff was nice. Delicious food - we will be back!

Bottle order arrived (strawberry Mageritha instead of raspberry) and didn't want to be changed. The food didn't taste good either. Juice shop.

Was there for coffee in the morning. I found the staff a bit overwhelmed, there was a lot going on. The buffet looked delicious and fresh

The food and the service were excellent. We came with our family and we enjoyed so much the burgers, and homemade drinks. We will come back.

Diese Lokalität ist eine echte Überraschung. Das Restaurant lädt zum Verweilen ein, da es absolut gemütlich und warm eingerichtet ist. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und die Qualität der Gerichte überzeugt. Aus meiner Sicht eine klare Empfehlung.

Unfortunately, child-unfriendly, arrogant reception.

Busy student hang out with great food. Only gave it a 4 star because we were looking for traditional food and they served it with a twist, could have lived without. Service very tentative despite being super busy.

The staff was very friendly and it is open late. Great place to eat at night.

So the buffet offers everything, nothing special. But price performance cannot be beaten.

The food was delicious and a little more special. Depending on what you order, you can easily spend 30 euros here or order a lunch menu that suits your budget. Inside the restaurant is really nice in urban style. You can sit outside and see a lot of what's going on. We were happy with our visit and would come again.
