🫤 Honestly the place is good and the equipment is also good. But the organization is very, very bad and the management only cares about money. The story is that we came with a group of 20 people. We expected to play alone. But the administration added 4 more groups, and at the same time, every two g...

👍👍 On Wednesday (06/11/19), We got into this amazing cocktailbar for the first time and we didn't even plan to come here. We actually wanted to go to Suvai Restaurant/bar but it was closed on Wednesday. We walked a bit further and found this gem in Essen and we are glad we did. This place opens at 8...

Vegan restaurant
👍👍 It's a little far from the centre but it's worth paying a visit. The food is all vegan and super delicious! One of the best places for plant-based food in the Ruhr area. We ordered mango lassis, saté skewers and mains with face duck. Everything was fantastic and the service was very friendly. Highly...

Hamburger restaurant
👍 Simply the best Halal burgers I have had in Germany. Just wish they had a few more options available in chicken. Actually the burger of the month for Dec'22 was quite yum, I hope they read this review and add it to their staple menu. Seating is little tight n difficult to get a place sometimes.

Vegan restaurant
👍👍 Sehr leckeres veganes Restaurant in der Innenstadt von Essen. Nettes Ambiente und freundliche Mitarbeiter sorgen für ein entspanntes Erlebnis. An einem Buffet nimmt man sich einen Teller (oder eine Schüssel) und bedient sich dann selbstständig. Die Auswahl fand ich ausreichend groß und sehr ansprech...

👍👍 It was amazing! A whole new experience that you really have to experience to be able to describe it. We were greeted warmly and then led through the darkness to our table. It was exciting, the menus were delicious and above all it was super fun thanks to Pedro, the best (and above all blind) waiter...

Mediterranean restaurant
😠 They are racist. One of the waiter there threw the doggy bag on our table, and said it's a joke. We didn't feel it's right so we argued and what he said was just "excuse me", instead of polite apologize. I will rate this as Zero stars.

🫤 Ah, welcome to the restaurant where flexibility goes to die, and mediocrity reigns supreme. First off, let's talk about their modern take on 'dining in'—you can't. That's right, it's takeaway only, so if you were looking to impress your date with a sit-down experience, best keep moving. Now, the st...
