Great food, nice people and low prices

As written the staff is super friendly and the food tastes great. At the same time the pricing is really cheap. Lots of cool people are guests there and there are lots of seatings available.

Pros: Nice staff, Great food, Low prices

Cons: Not completely vegan, Location is in a not so good part of town

fine & tasty food

i was there two times -
first evening i tried the Black Bean Burger -
that was really a joy to eat!!
its something really different from most of the 'veggie patties' you find normally...
the second evening i tried the Baba Wrap - and this is now my new favorite Wrap!

the location is a funny mix of old & new & art & simple & alternative :-)

and this all for a more then perfect value/price point!!

Pros: friendly staff, very tasty food

Cons: very little outdoor seating

Love it!

If I‘d live in Mannheim, Kombüse totally would be my go to-spot.
Relaxed, alternative, pub-atmosphere, with friendly staff and super-good food!!
I enjoyed the burrito and a blackberry cake as dessert. Both were fresh and delicious!
The decision what to choose was hard - they also had falafel plate, burgers, asia bowl, tex mex bowl and much more (you can have everything vegan).
As they have an open kitchen and I was sitting at the bar, I could watch the cook and every meal looked delicious!
The homemade lemonade is yummy too! Not too sweet, as I like it with drinks.

Pros: great food, affordable , friendly staff and atmosphere

Lovely vegetarian restaurant

Lovely and cozy place located at Jungbusch in Mannheim! The restaurant is vegetarian, but basically anything on their menu can be made vegan. Most of their options are vegan anyway. I like it that they offer vegan cheese! The prices are very fair and affordable even for students. I ordered a vegan burrito and it was very large and tasty.
If you want to eat here with a larger group of people, I would recommend to make a reservation in advance because the place is quite small and popular.

Pros: Fair prices, Friendly staff, Vegan cheese

Cons: Restaurant is small; can be overcrowded sometimes

All aboard!

Ya'll ready for some good food? This place has so many vegan options and the atmosphere is great! I usually get the vegan burrito with guac and vegan cheese. The prices are very fair. Plus, the hipster vibes of this place make me feel like I'm back in San Francisco and it warms my heart. 😍

Pros: lots of vegan options, friendly staff, good location

Absolutely outstanding! Favourite spot in city

I've had numerous fantastic evenings, filled with good wine, excellent food, and outstanding service! I've tried every dish I believe, including many specials, and never been disappointed. Perfect pricing, great options, beautiful service. I've made wonderful memories here and will miss it!

Laid back, simple and delicious

Cool place with laid back atmosphere, simple, yet delicious and filling food of generous portions for a good price. Went there for late breakfast which was 15min.before the place went packed with people asking for lunch. Be aware, not that many seats, so choose the arrival time wisely. Lovely stuff. Totally recommendable.
Oh,and their music selecation is awesome!

Pros: Tasty food, Good price, Nice location

cheap tasty vegan food

Here you can get cheap but very tasty vegan food. For all food at the menu a vegan version is available. They also offer a vegan dish of the day and a vegan soup (posted on their homepage). Very friendly stuff. In the evening it's sometimes very crowed so I recommend a reservation if you want to make sure to get a table.

Pros: a lot of vegan options, vegan options clearly labeled, cheap

Awesome place for vegans

From soup to snacks and dish of the day to vegan bakery, the menu offers a solid variety for every kind of hunger. Very nice staff, relaxed atmosphere and all-aged guests in the middle of the vibrant neighborhood "Jungbusch".
My favorites are burrito and black bean burger (bun, patty, relish, bbq sauce everything homemade).

mixed feelings

The location is very small. We called the restaurant beforehand, because we had to drive 40 minutes to it. When we showed up, we had to wait 10 minutes, until we got a table with two other little groups.
The burger was delicious, but very fatty. The potatoes were very fatty, too.

Der Burger in der Kombüse war lecker. Leider hatte er keine gute Konsistenz, er ist einfach auseinander gebröckelt und es war etwas schwierig ihn zu essen.
Sowohl der Burger, als auch die Pommes, waren leider viel zu fettig, was schade war.
Ansonsten bestimmt ein Laden, in den man mal ganz gut gehen kann, allerdings nicht vergleichbar mit den veganen Burgern im Hans im Glück.

Pros: gute Stimmung, nette Bedienung

Cons: lange Wartezeit , geteilte Tische, übermäßig fettiges Essen

Perfect

One of the best places to find good and not too expensive vegetarian or vegan food in Mannheim. Been there a couple of times! The falafel plate is very nice but the burritos are also very tasty!

Amazing!

I ordered the black bean burger with a mixed salad on the side and it was amazing! One of my favourite vegan burgers I've ever had. Definitely recommend this to anyone who go's to Kombuse. I know I'll be back for sure. Very cheap for a delicious meal. I also ordered the homemade iced tea and it was good as well!

Pros: Delicious, Cheap, Good Service

Bar and Restaurant in Mannheim-Jungbusch

Really recommendable Bar and Restaurant in Mannheim-Jungbusch (10 min from city center). Changing dishes of the day, open day and evening. In the evenings also a bar, sometimes very loud :) Not everything is vegan, but there is always a vegan option. I recommond the vegan quesadilla (don't foget to order it vegan!)
Punkrock atmosphere, nice staff, fair prices und cool projects, supported by the Kombüse (example supporting refugees, help for prostitutes, social projects in the neighboorhoud...)

Pros: Very fair prices, Social projects

yummm

This place is just super recommendable. Happy and cozy atmosphere, fab food, nice waiters — and great drinks as well (FritzCola, Pause Helden, and weird little cocktails with cucumber/lime/vodka/gin called Seegurken)!

Pros: great food and drinks, easy with kids, anti fascist

Cons: daily special ran out quickly (too nice)

Great place for a dressed-down evening out

We went to Kombüse last Saturday (July 2014) - actually due to the good recommendations on Happy Cow! - and we were not disappointed. It was really, really crowded, and we were told it's always like that, especially on a Saturday. The atmosphere is very relaxed, it seemed to be a student place or at least a place where people certainly don't dress up! (The area is very run-down anyway, with beggars and drinking people in the street, but if you don't mind that, then you should be ok). Everything on the menu is or can be made vegan. The Quesadila is actually just Tortillas with (vegan) cheese inside, but good for a starter, and so is the salad. As mains, we had the falafel and the bean burger, and both were good and sufficient. We had "Bratkartoffeln" (potatoes) as side; I would have added a bit of vegan mayo, but this might be my personal taste. We did not try the vegan cakes, but they looked delicious. The prices are not too expensive, and the staff were friendly (even though they were really busy). So if you expect a fancy evening out in a nice restaurant, this is not the right place, but if you just want good vegetarian / vegan food and are prepared to share you table with strangers, you will like it.

Pros: Everything can be made vegan., Not so expensive.

Cons: Area not nice., Can be really crowded.

Best place to eat vegan in Mannheim

FOOD

Kombüse has a rather small regular menu plus some dishes written on a chalk board that change every day. The regular main dishes are a falafel plate and the black bean burger plate. Since you can have falafel in other places I ordered the black bean burger plate. The burger itself was not so good, in my opinion. But we also had the quesadillas and they were so delicious!!! For every meal there is a vegan option, so you can have vegan cheese or cow cheese on your burger or quesadilla. The vegan cheese was great! So I guess the food is 5 stars, I was just unlucky that the bean burger was not my taste. Although, I wish they had a few more options for main dishes. The prices of Kombüse are very good. I haven't been there for lunch, yet, but they have a lot of different, cheap sandwiches. We just had dinner there but I can imagine it's a great place to have a few drinks, as well!
*edit: Kombüse is now my favourite place to eat in Mannheim! The prices are really good, the portion size big and the food delicious! I tried a lot of the menu and it is all very delicious :) I also love ordering the daily special! You should check out their facebook page, they always write funny descriptions of them.

LOCATION

Kombüse is a cozy restaurant and the customers are mostly students, so it is not a high class restaurant. It is located in Jungbusch. There are outside seats as well as a lot of seats inside.

STAFF

The staff is okay. The owners are very friendly, some of the waitresses not so much, but it's okay.

Overall I can recommend anyone to go to Kombüse!

Pleasant ambience, friendly staff, promising menu

After hearing about Kombüse from friends for nearly two years, I finally got to try it myself. It's a very pleasant atmosphere but with limited seating, so it can fill up quickly. One sees the efforts of the kitchen to be creative within the scope of a rather narrow food offering, and while many of those efforts are promising, some fall short. I ordered the soup of the day, potato-eggplant, and the special plate of the day, creole-style braised vegetables with potato-spinach cakes. The soup had a really delicious and delicate flavor (which inspired me to try making it at home sometime) which was unfortunately overpowered by way too much chili. The creole vegetables were quite good, except for being a bit too heavily weighted with paprika, but still in search of exquisiteness. Unfortunately, the sauce also contained seitan, which I can't eat. They could have written that on the specials board and I would have ordered something else (which I told them), and they probably would have taken it back if I had asked, but since it was there, I elected to pick out the seitan and eat the dish anyway, which I don't regret. The potato-spinach cakes, however, were unremarkable. On the plus side though, my meal was served piping hot. My companion had the black-bean burger with everything and was quite pleased. I tried the burger and found it interesting, but again, not execptional. The salad and potatoes which can be ordered as side dishes were both tasty, in particular the salad dressing, and the portions were both generous.

Cool veggie restaurant

The Kombüse is a great place to have lunch, to have dinner, or to just have a beer.
Located in the Jungbusch, it is not a place for the high society, but definitively a hip restaurant.
The meals are prepared in a lovely manner and taste great.

Mediocre

Unfortunately, this is yet another place in the Rhein-Neckar region that I can't get very excited about. When I arrived for lunch the outdoor area smelled like a place where alcoholics are hanging out. I chose a seat inside which was fine - the place actually looks quite nice and the owner who serves the food is just lovely. The food was OK but nothing special. It's much better value than the vegatarian buffet restaurants in the area though. Since I live in the area I'd rather cook at home but would still recommend it for vegetarian/vegan travellers who can't always have a home-cooked meal.

Pros: nice service, fair prices

Cons: not the nicest atmosphere

Great place for eating and drinking!

Although it's calling itself a vegetarian restaurant the Kombüse is practically a vegan restaurant which also offers vegetarian options for those who might still be a little skeptical about soy-yoghurt, vegan chesse and these things. It has changing specials of the day, which are most often innovative and delicious. The same holds true for the regular menue, which among other things includes black-bean burgers and wraps with different fillings. The owners are really nice guys, and the atmosphere is relaxed, laid-back and a bit " alternative". I love the unmatching plates, which make you feel like you're eating at a friend's, rather than at a restaurant. The Kombüse is in a great neighboorhod, which adds up to its appeal. Prices for food and drinks are more than reasonable, making it a great place also for students who want to eat out from time to time.

Pros: tasty food, vegan with vegetarian options, friendly staff
