"The Location is superb , looks wonderful in the evening, feels like a place discovered while on vacation and there is Underground parking. The place remains quite full (even for a Monday night , so make sure to book ahead. The servers are friendly and...the ambience is lovely. I wish I could mention the food in the same breath, that would have been fantastic. First I will start with recommended dishes , that are must haves when here. The garlic naan is flaky the right way and tastes amazing along with the delicious Palak Paneer(Spinach with cheese cubes) and has the amazing garlicky flavour that reminds of home. Another dish to go for is Mughlai Chicken( Chicken simmered in Cashew nuts gravy) . The dishes I found would have tasted better are Mutton Roghan josh, Govi (Cauliflower) 65 and chicken 65. These had no resemblance to the original recipies and were doused in food colour. I was indeed sad to see these items after I have been pleasantly surprised with the above ones! The usual fair of drinks like Lassi and lemonade are good and they also serve many cakes and nice coffee. It also serves a nice combination of South and north Indian food. Samosa tasted alright only if you must not expect it to be like in India. So go , visit the place by all means, and if you can't take the heat, ask them to lighten the food for you."

the food was delicious and the service was also ok. I like the place while eating is not annoyingly seasoned and we found in india, it was still more interesting than I had in many other Indian and Indian inspired places....Overal, a pleasant experience! I would like to see a point between average and very good for this place, so they consider this a 3-3,5-star rating over everyone.

it was a very hot evening and so the restaurant was very busy (outside), which then caused the service. they had to wait a very long time to order a drink and finally the food. the staff were friendly and smiled during their busy. even certainly not complaining with eating as it was fantastic. the facility in restaurant is also very good. in any case worth a visit, but expect only a little wait on hot weekends.

A very nice part of Indian food in Ehrenfeld. In a warm and friendly atmosphere enjoy some good Indian food. The dishes look small but are more than satisfying. You might need some patience as the kitchen takes it time to prepare your food but...lounging on a big couch the wait is not a problem at all. Even when the place is full (or almost full both times when I visited) it's still does not feel like a crowded restaurant.

Masala Empire is definitely one of my most favorite restaurants. There are not many places where not only the food tasteful but where you also find an atmosphere is well designed for an authentic yet contemporary experience. If you ever been to Dishoom in London...you know what I'm talking about. The best part is that it's not just about food, you can go there any time of the day, to work, read, write while having great coffee, tea or drinks. It's a must do if you haven't been!!!

I was looking for a coffee somewhere while I was waiting to meet a friend and saw the outside seats wandered down from the main street. it was a great fund that personal was beautiful and took time to explain what they have in English when they realized that I did not speak German very well. the coffee was great, very strong, but the location was fabulous. it was during the kologne karneval time and I sat at one of the outer tables to watch all in their costumes in the sunshine. I could have stayed there all day, but unfortunately I had to go, I hope that next week I must go through kokain again and eat there when I do, I will update my review. I look forward to it.

Pizzeria Mimmo U Santo

Neusser Str. 336, 50733 Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, Köln-Nippes

Pizza • Mittelmeer • Europäisch • Italienisch


"This Italian restaurant enjoys a good reputation among the Nippes, whether right or wrong, everyone has to decide for themselves. In my opinion, there are much better addresses in the vicinity. After the renovation work that was carried out some time ago, the shop again bulges properly. In the summer you can sit here wonderfully outside and look at the diverse Veedelsleben in Nippes with a wine, a water or an always maintained Gaffel Kölsch. Admittedly to name the terrace is perhaps somewhat exaggerated, because the heavily driven Neusser Str. is very loud and unpleasant due to the exhaust gases just on hot days, but you can still hold it well. The Mimmo u Santo is, all in all, a quite normal pizzeria regarding the quality of food. In my opinion, prices, similar to most restaurants in this category, are clearly too high for the main dishes except pizza and pasta. At a comparable price you can find significantly better quality in Cologne. Pleasant, however, are the spacious rooms and open kitchen in the upper part of the restaurant, although the noise level appears almost unbearable with full utilization. Accordingly, this restaurant does not come to the “more choice” for a romantic, cozy evening to two!!! Also negative was the uneven service clothing for both the waiters and the chefs. An employee of the kitchen team wore a knit sweater during my last visit, three more showed themselves in the private street block T Shirt only one with white cooking apparel, although it was clear legal regulations. Personal hygiene HACCP gives ... I advertised the completed service as “ moderately friendly”, at times I felt “the appearance and effect” of the waiters very intrusive! When the menus were handed over, the waiter stopped at the table while we chose. I felt craved and put under pressure. Gaffel Kölsch from the barrel is presented here 0.4l 3,00 € What I liked: The Kölsch was tapped quickly and always well maintained! After years of continuous observation, I note: The food remains on the same simple, i.e. acceptable, handicraft level. As a “small greeting from the kitchen” there is always a little antipasti with bread. The card dishes usually do not expect surprises, which is a pleasant constant! ... besides being ordered by the board... I did this at my last visit and should be bitterly repent as it turned out during the evening! I ordered sea bass with sage Risotto € 15,50 greedy served, the dish initially looked quite clear but appealing. ABER as a professional Risotto lover my disappointment was very big! The Risotto Rice was not made with onions or herbs, Parmesan did not find any application here, the Risotto did not “small” and came very “dry” so... A sage leaf draped in the midst of the clear Risotto harp could not inspire me. The sea bass was slightly overcrowded and was gently “opened” in “simple” oil. Another inattentiveness was that no fish cutlery was given to the fish. The lasagna of my accompaniment € 9,50, as well as the supplement salad € 4,00 was without complaints and was rated as “good”. I've only eaten half of my portion, despite great hunger. The waiter asked “Hat ́s tasted” – I replied no! It was all a trace of fat and too sweet. He left the table without commenting and/or apologising words ... And once again I had to announce my innocence in the form of “no tipping” – but this gesture was suffocated – it seemed like it was indifferent to the waiter! ... or have you been used to a minimum TIP award at this “gastliche Ort”??? My conclusion: Whether you have spent a pleasant stay or whether you leave the place with a reasonable satisfaction does not seem to be of interest here or is not given a particular priority. I don't get back here as fast as I can. No recommendation!"
