Nish Nush - Koeln

Many vegan options, staff is friendly and the portions quite large. Very delicious.

I went to this place with zero expectations, knowing already that it would be crowded and I was worried that at the end it wouldn 't even be worth it but I was completely wrong. I mean, not about the crowded part, it was totally busy and we got a tiny table in front of the kitchen but about being worried it wouldn 't even be worth it because it was. I ordered The Traditional One which you can get with meat but also as a vegan version. As a vegan you can decide between pulled oyster mushroom and shawarma sababa. I took the shawarma sababa which isn 't cheap at all as the price is 16 Euro but I tell you, you won 't regret it. The plate comes with fries and 5 different dips out of Hummus, Tahini, a mangodip called Amba and a sauce in the traditional Yemen way called Zhug. Also you 'll get fries, a salad, olives, pickles, a pita bread and the protein of your choice. You definitely won 't leave hungry. I was in a food coma after I finished. Every dip tasted amazing but you need to like Tahini since they put it in a lot. The fries were good, well seasoned, and the shawarma was incredible. Every bite made me so happy. I would say it was one of the best dishes I 've had since I live in Cologne. I still dream about it and want to come back as soon as possible.

The Sabich was very tasty and is recommended even if it is a bit more expensive! The ordering and payment process at the counter was little inviting, as I hardly had time to read the card in detail or read it in detail. I felt a little stressed. Consequence: There has been little order and nothing has been reordered, even if I really would have liked to. Unfortunately, I was also told that on the map up to the Mayo everything is vegan, which was obviously wrong. Updated from previous review on 2023-07-16

Location is kind of an in-spot and always very crowded. Food tastes amazing, plenty of clearly labeled vegan choices. They use the Beyond Meat Kebab as substitute to veganize their plates. Tasty hummus dips! You have to order your food at the counter and will get it to your table then. It can be hard to get a table and it could be more cosy overall, I always feel kinda rushed and stressed a bit. I can also recommend the drinks. Updated from previous review on 2023-02-15

The vegan food is tasty. The dips were too greasy for me. The restaurant was very busy. The ordering concept is like a fast food, I think it could be more efficient. One has to queue to order and get a number. The staff then has to find your number in order to bring you the food. If you want something more you have to queue again..
