I fell in love with Persian food

I don't think I have ever eaten Persian food before. A friend asked me if I wanted to go and I was totally down. I was surprised how many vegan dishes they offer and they all sounded amazing. After a long time of thinking I got the Kabab Kubideh Vegan. It comes with 2 meat skewers out of vegan minced meat, vegetables and crispy rice. Everything what was on my plate tasted incredible. The faux meat was so good, I couldn't believe it, especially since it also looked so real. The crispy rice was my favourite though, I could have also just eaten that.
I definitely want to go again and try more of their huge vegan selection.

Great food with great spices

More than half of the dishes is vegan, almost all starters are also vegan. The food is excellent with great and unique combinations of spices!

Definitely a recommendation!

Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Music

Das vegane Buffet sollte man probiert haben!

Wir kommen regelmäßig zum veganen persischen Buffet am Mittwoch! Tolle und leckere Auswahl an Gerichten! Auch die Gerichte auf der Karte sind klar vegan gelabelt. Jederzeit wieder gerne!

Pros: Veganes Buffet , Gerichte klar vegan markiert

Don’t go here.

I really do not recommend this place. The "meat" tasted plastic and was not good. Truly one of the bad places I've eaten in the 6 years I've been vegan.

But! Maybe they have dishes that are fantastic, but dont order a dishes with fake meet.

There are so many other good places in Koln, go there.

Amazing vegan dishes

The majority of dishes are vegan, so there's a huge variety to choose from. Everything we tried was incredibly good and the service was impeccable. Ten out of ten! Massive recommendation for the mixed starters – soooo good...

Pros: Very refined cuisine, beautifully crafted dishes, huge choice of vegan dishes

Cons: In terms of taste, the tahdig didn't blow me away, and there was only a tiny bit of crust :(

Richtig authentisch & lecker

Das Essen war ausnahmslos lecker. Besonders toll fand ich, dass traditionelle Gerichte einfach veganisiert wurden, indem Sojajoghurt oder Veganes Hack verwendet wurde. Absolute Empfehlung!

Pros: Viele Vegane Optionen ohne Verzicht , Vegane Desserts , Preiswert

Cons: Nicht besonders schön eingerichtet

Eher durchwachsen

Achtung das Eis ist nicht Vegan!

Ich hatte mir das auf der Karte als vegan markiertes Eis bestellt, welches definitiv nicht vegan war. Fragt da auf jeden Fall nochmal nach, falls ihr es bestellen wollt.

Die Hauptspeisen war leider etwas fade und mussten selber nachgewürzt werden. Das passiert mir eigentlich nie.

Und der Maracuja Aperol war im Nachhinein einfach ein normaler Aperol.

Wir saßen draußen, weil innen keine Plätze mehr frei waren. Da es relativ warm war, kann man sich jetzt darum streiten, ob drei Wärmestrahler zur Aktuellen Lage wirklich notwendig sind.

Full stars

One of my favorite restaurants in Cologne
Their food is exceptional and I can decide what to order because everything is delicious
Fesenjan and the kebab are a must try! Also their appetizers are great. The salad, the spinach and the soy Joghurts are just some of them. You can sit outside on the cute patio during summer
Service is the best! Also they have the best Aperol spritz in the city💕

Pros: Many vegan options , Friendly service and owner , Aperol

Immer wieder gerne

Ich war in diesem Restaurant schon unzählige Male und wurde kein Mal enttäuscht. Als Veganer hat man große Auswahl und es ist perfekt geeignet, um mit seinen omnivoren Freunden essen zu gehen. Die Gerichte sind alle ein Geschmackserlebnis und zeigen einem europäischen Gaumen ganz neue Kombinationen.

Pros: viele vegane Optionen, erschwinglich, interessante Gerichte

Wow

Never expected to find a Persian restaurant with that many vegan options. My Persian friend who became vegan was very happy😄 #Veganuary

Huge vegan variety

They have a huge variety for vegans, you don‘t expect this in a persian restaurant. All tasty and big plates, but not so spiced, so I think, I don‘t come back. The place is beautiful, the stuff friendly, it‘s a pity.

Pros: Many vegan options, Nice place , Big plates

Cons: A bit boring because not very well spiced
