"Ich hatte Glück für 1 Stunde einen Platz zu bekommen. Ich habe mir Sommerrollen, knusprige vegane „Ente“ und zum Nachtisch Klebreis mit Cocos Joghurt bestellt. Der Service war sehr nett und aufmerksam, das Essen war großartig. Sehr schmackhaft, schön angerichtet. Tolle Kreationen für eine gesunde Ernährung die Spaß macht."

"my friend and I are both vegan and had heard good things about this bakery, so we decided to review it. we had a peach crumb, pear crumb, blueberry copper cake, dark chocolate latte and a latte macchiatio. they had also baked several chocolates. were available, but today the fruit options called us. everything was great! the woman who helped us was very friendly and helpful and spoke impeccable English. if they like coffee and chocolate, I recommend the dark chocolate latte, but I would also happily recommend all the others that we had. this place is all vegan except they have milk milk for coffee drinks, and the white chocolate latte also contains milk. I doubt, however, that a non-vegan/vegetarian would even realize that eating here was vegan. highly recommended for anyone who likes coffee or sweetness!"

"In a 5-day stay in Cologne and as a lover of Indian cuisine, we had planned the Ginti. The visit took place on Monday to the beginning of noon. The reception was very friendly and cordial by the Lord of the House. The decor in Ginti is very modern, stylish, but also somewhat sterile and only very discreet supplements with Indian accessories. Young guests will probably find favors in the style of the institution. The place was still empty and so there was a chance to get a brief conversation with the mistress of the house. She brought us the menus, and there were Papadam with three from a culinary point of view pretty boring finished dives. We chose both a mango sauce as a drink that was thin and most likely prepared on the basis of a mango powder. Disgusting! I ordered as main dish Malai Kofta, vegetable balls in a mild curry sauce with ginger, garlic, almonds and coconut. This is not only one of my favorite Indian dishes, but it is also a dish that places higher requirements on a kitchen and therefore cannot be found in any Indian restaurant on the menu. In addition, quality and freshness can be well valued with this bowl. I ordered this dish with a higher sharpness, but not through the sauce, but ultimately through the vegetable balls themselves. The latter were produced excellently and their loose inner composition had the freshness of the preparation felt. This was undoubtedly a 5-star court. My accompaniment had opted for Tandoori King Prawn Masala, marinated royal cloves from Tandoor in a sauce with tomatoes, cashew nuts and raisins. This dish was also very tasty, rather mild and very generous in the number of shrimps. The rice was served unfavorably on an open bowl and had to measure any fragrance and aroma that could originate from cardamom capsules or spice cloves. After the main dishes were convinced, we were curious about the Indian ice cream, Kulfi. This came visually well over a carrot cut into slices, but could not be along tasteful. It was crystallized, little creamy and the aromas of the aforementioned mango powder were reappeared. Conclusion: a highly recommended Indian restaurant due to the excellent main dishes, but not yet matured in its culinary periphery. Therefore, provisionally three stars with an inclination to four."

"Amongst all the places I have been around the world, I must say that I never ate such a good meat in my life. The steak was so tender that you could even cut it without the need of a knife! The portion was quite good as well (400gr) very juicy and perfectly cooked. Good selection of wine and the atmosphere is also very "argentinian" style, with gaucho "accessories" and horse saddles hanging from everywhere. The Service was also good, very friendly waiters. People might think it is a bit pricey but it is definetly worth the money! The grill is placed right at the entrance so you can have a look at the guy grilling this massive pieces of meat on the grill."

"A little, hidden Japanese gem in Köln. The quality of the fish was fantastic. The ambiance positive. The service was friendly and fast. The prices were somewhere between cheap and affordable. My partner and I each ordered two beverages... And a huge platter of sushi between the two of us (to reallly fill us up) and spent less than €50. I'm not really sure what else this place could do to deserve a 5 star, and so I'm giving it what it deserves."
