Review: There are not usually vegan dishes here. But its all vegetarian. I went there.. they said the vegie burger was vegan but had egg, soup was vegan but it had ghee and soup was vegan but had cream.. so we did not eat here.. seems there are usually not vegan meals here. They offered potatoes and steamed vegies...
 
Pros: good for vegetarians * *
Cons: no vegan choices * seems expensive *

Review: OK, so maybe not gourmet food on offer here but there's an excellent choice (better if you get there early) and the atmposphere is wonderful. There are usually 2 main courses (one is normally vegan) and plenty of vegetables and sauces to accompany them as well as a large salad choice and a soup of the day (which was not vegan on the day we went - cream of broccoli)

There are lots of seats and cosy places to chill out as well as a bar area at the rear. It's a great meeting place to have a snack and drink and gets busy later on in the evening. My only gripe is that I'd rather pay for everything together at the end rather than as and when you get it from the serving area.

This place is going to sneak into my all time top 10 I think so it must be good. I wouldn't put just any old place in there. It's located in a fabulous bustling area just off Friesenplatz and there's a Basic Bio shop just a few yards up the road on the same side opposite the Stadtgarten on Venloer Stasse.

 
Pros: prices * atmosphere * food
Cons: cannot pay at end * *

Review: As there are no other vegan-friendly restaurants to find in Köln, we decided to have a Sunday meal there. Waitress could not tell which food was vegan, was very unfriendly, was speaking to us like dumbs, and then she offered us cooked rice and beans as vegan couisine. We left without eating.

Review: nice ambiance with the windows facing a little yard and a zen shop next door. big place with plenty seats, even at dinner hour, you can always find a table for 3-4.
salad bar is excellent, big choice, great taste. also herb teas and non sugar cokkies are not bad ,of course there are coffees and sugar cakes too. well about the main course its a little heavy, not vegan, i think some of them are with butter or cheese. taste good but a little salty, maybe its a genaral taste in germany, because i saw some germans at the table adding more salt to the dish that i thought were too salty . daily soups delicious. main course changes every day. veggie burger or stew+noodle or rice(i had lunch&supper there during 4-5 days)
reasonable price, salad paid by WEIGHT , main course 2 prices: full size plate or half size(smaller) plate. very scientific and no waste. a good german habit i guess, you don't see that so much in france or italy :-) it's perfect for people who don't eat much but want a complete blanced meal with salad and main course, soup etc.
and i liked the fresh mint leaves in hot water, tastes like a green tea and really good for digest.
someone mentioned that no english spoken, but they did speak english while i was there, with limited vocabularies (me too:-D) &friendly.

 
Pros: big confortable place * nice food big choice * reasonable price
Cons: some of the hot dishes a bit heavy * *

Review: Had lunch at Osho's twice this past week and enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere and fresh healthy food. Chose the soup of the day - Spinach & Coconut with an assortment of salads. Self service buffet was a delight after experiencing general appalling service at other venues around Cologne. The outdoor on street tables are great to relax in the shade during the recent humid hot weather.

Review: This place is excellent, the food, the environment and the price-quality ratio. I love the special nights, like the Thai night on Friday, don\'t miss out on this. There is a buffet with many possibilities, several menus, yummy desserts... and great Bionade, a refreshing organic German drink. I would recommend this place to anyone!

 
Pros: excellent food * nice staff * good value
Cons: sometimes packed * sometimes noisy * -
