The friendly staff kindly let me try to order in German, then helped me out with their impeccable English once I failed. I got their flagship burger and wow, it is amazing. Highly recommend. Also the pesto spread they bring before the meal for the bread is delicious. Rebecca, my server, was super nice and brought me more for my burger. Wish I had more time in Cologne to explore their menu some more!

What an unexpected surprise on the other side of the river! If the restaurant hasn't gotten the…read morerecognition already, I'd be surprised if it doesn't get Michelin recommended or Bib Gourmand shortly. What stood out were the flavors. Bold, tangy, and complemented everything well. We got the rhubarb cheese tart as the appetizer and the sweet/tartness of the rhubarb was nicely offset by the cheese. Entrees were the halibut with koodles (kohlrabi in noodle form) and mashed tomatoes. The kohlrabi was the unexpected star. Loved the tangy taste offset by the fish and potatoes. Also had the linguine with octopus. The linguine was pretty std but the lemon burst of flavor was so pleasant! Go here and enjoy a meal! It's a Köln gem!

Despite its kitsch decoration, Kilim is THE BEST place to have exactly the same kind of lahmacuns…read moreyou could have in Sanliurfa or Gaziantep provinces of Turkey in the area surrounding Bonn and Cologne. All sorts of lahmacuns, be them Urfa, Antep or Findik, are very crispy, hearty and tasty as they should be. The amount of onion in Urfa lahmacun and amount of garlic in Antep is very balanced. Icli koftes are highly recommended, too. Even though pides taste good as well, they are one class below lahmacuns and contain too much fat in my opinion. Desserts you could order at the end, including baklava, kadayif and sekerpare, are always fresh and tasty, as they are brought from the konditorei owned by Kilim the next door. Considering all these points, again, Kilim is THE BEST place to taste the genuine Southeastern Anatolian food inspired by Kurdish, Arabic and Turkish cultures, located in Mülheim, Cologne. If I am drooling over my keyboard as I am writing this review, it is a clear sign that Kilim deserves its well-deserved reputation and does not need my further endorsement. :)

Good stuff. I read…read moreabout this place in a travel blog and wanted to try it since I love Turkish food. We came here in the morning at like 8 am but they only serve light breakfast. Only come for lunch or dinner if you want your traditional lamb, veal and chicken doner, shawarma, kubideh, etc. The food is legit and the crowds that showed up reflects that. Service was friendly and efficient.

***5 STAR ONCE IN A LIFETIME PLACE***…read more The pork chop cannot be described with words. It's heavenly. The service is awesome, and the place is packed the minute the doors open. And the ambiance is all German!

Cuisine: 7 Service: 8…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 8 Overall: 8 After reading all the reviews, I had to come here and try this place out. On a Monday around lunch, the backyard was about one third full when we showed up. Everyone looked like they were enjoying their food and drinking Kölsch. Everyone talks about the pork chop, so I had to order it and give my own opinion. This was a solid pork chop and the onions certainly enhanced the dish. Unfortunately, my piece came lukewarm at best and definitely not as juicy as if it would have been right out of the oven. The version I had was good, but not worthy of all the accolades. Other than that, we tried Metthappen (raw pork tartare), which was somewhat bland and mushy. Had to add a lot of salt and pepper for more flavor. With that said, the liverwurst and blood sausage were both excellent. In the end, I did not love the bread, but the pickle was great. Service with a smile, the servers were very kind and patient. They will gladly let you take your time to order while they fill your next glass of Kölsch. If you want them to stop, many people have mentioned, just put your coaster on top of your glass.
