Shaka Zulu in Cologne

Authentic food & atmosphere. Good chillspot in midst of hectic city.

Super tasty and exceptional. The concept is great, so you just try everything!

Not great.

Unfortunately disappointing. The ambience of the shop is great and the service is friendly. However, it is shamelessly overpriced and the food is by no means exceptional, on the contrary. At our Italian restaurant around the corner, you eat far better for half (!) The money.

Just perfect

Great experience. Delicious dishes, good South African wines and a pleasant atmosphere.

Really delicious food and drinks! I think the menu is really great. There were different dishes - from vegetables to meat to fish. Of course you also have the option to choose everything vegetarian. I've never eaten African before and loved it. The dessert and homemade drinks are also a dream. I will gladly come again.

Super Disappointed! Very hectic, had to wait too long for our food. The taste of the food was okay, but nothing special! Way too overpriced for these small portions. I wouldn't go again. No recommendation from me!

Very tasty food. Dishes are also great for sharing.

I wanted to try this restaurant because of its really good reputation on google maps, and I was very disappointed. The staff was unprofessional: we waited for so long between each course (at least 30min) because our waiter kept forgetting us. The food was as good as beginners trying to cook proper dishes: ok but not worth the price. The portions were generous though, but still the flavors were basic and not satisfying... Don't recommend this place at all, definitely not worth 4,7/5 in my opinion!

Outstanding food, great atmosphere, great service! A big movie theater

Delicious food, great artistic space

First time african tapas, what should i say? Was quite amazing and very tasty. Prices are okay and fair. Definitly comming back.

terrific

It was my frist time going to shake Zulu but wowwwww the food is wonderful African taste indeed yummy ?

Very tasty, friendly service. Not "cheap" but not too expensive either. The food is worth the money!

Lovely food and nice vibe. Will visit again.

Very friendly staff and delicious food! The Lunch offer is great (value for money) and was really fresh and the service very quick. We would love to come back!

Very good food for really little money. I will always be happy to stop by!

We were there with friends and ordered the communal meal to try all things and everyone agreed that it was very tasty. The dishes are unusual without being terribly exotic. The food tastes great, the sauces are perfectly matched to the dishes or portions, and if you have the meat with you, it is tender as butter in every course. The waiters were attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. The cocktails were also really good, not too much ice as you know it from other "cocktail" bars. The interior is lovingly coordinated without being kitschy, so all in all a place where you like to go out to eat with friends.

The food was good but everything was very disorganized!! We went to celebrate the birthday of a friend ( group of 8 people). When the waiter was picking our orders, an old man came ( I don´t know if he is the owner) and told the waiter to put all orders together because was "easy" for the kitchen. And how about the customers?? We ordered 5 tapas of Caldeirada and came in one bowl and we ordered 2 tapas of meet and came also in one bowl ( same size). The restaurant was expensive and the food was in very small portion!

We enjoyed our stay in the restaurant very much and we would love to come back. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food and selection was very good and there is a lot to try. We will definitely come back to visit here. You can sit them and outside. The decoration is very nice too.

It is a smaller place where you still feel very, very comfortable. The decorations and the ambience alone allow you to immerse yourself in another world. Anything but European standard. That's what makes it up. I can recommend the food, which is partly very well seasoned. There is something for everyone .

Food was OK but sometimes not quite my taste. Prices were too high for my taste and the service at low workload not particularly fast but also not extremely slow. It was okay to try something new, but next time in Cologne I think I will choose another local with a different kitchen to get to know new things.

African atmosphere in Cologne, good food, nice ambiance

Super delicious food, great atmosphere and nice staff. Many thanks

Ethiopian cuisine is very interesting and worth a try. Recommend mama Africa and desserts

Delicious food and friendly staff. Love the new lunch menu and outdoor seating!

Very good food and music

Really nice atmosphere, awesome food. A small variety of tapas style dishes of traditional African food. A great selection of cocktails and wine.

Wonderful service, quirky colorful design and delicious food. Super tender meat and balanced spices. The malva pudding is a must try desert!

We didn't have to wait a long time for the food and our drinks. It was great because we had a big cravings that evening. The correctness of the staff is really impressive. The restaurant has the potential to become my new regular restaurant. The armchairs are very comfortable and the distance between the tables is very adequate. There you get no trace of feeling like eating cucumbers in a can.

Such delicious food and drinks! Highly recommended!

Good service. Good food. Good ambience.

Food and service was okay-ish. Location is quite nice. Nevertheless we've enjoyed the time

?

Magnificent drinks. Mediocre food for the price.

I enjoyed the ambiance and the decoration, this restaurant is very unique. The food was delicious, although not sufficient at all. We ended up getting food somewhere else right after because we were still hungry.

Beautifully designed and having an interesting combination of bar and restaurant, the place was extremely busy. Make sure you make a reservation in advance so you don't have to wait a lot for a free table. We have arrived at 18:30 without a reservation and it touch 15 minutes to get the only free table available. This is a place to meet friends, chat, have a drink. The waiters are really nice and friendly and the drinks where really good. So I recommend you to go there and have a drink. If you expect that the experience will be completed by the food, you might be disappointed. We went there to eat and we couldn't eat much due the lack of taste 8 in the food. We tried the all you can eat menu to see many options, but 80% didn't meet my wife and my taste. I really hope that the food quality will improve or that other things taste better. One more thing, remember to have cache, as they use the old trick "our EC just broke, cache only" - quite common in Germany.

Exciting location for every budget with lots to see, eat and drink... And to enjoy off course! High quality cocktails and food to tickle the taste buds and start a party in your mouth. Highly recommend over and over again ?

Simple set menus of varied dishes and sides served "tapas style" with not many choices but delicious nonetheless. We ordered the communal meal and was advised that the mini-communal meal would probably be enough already, and we were glad for the advice as it was indeed plenty. Food and drinks were excellent, service was fast and the decor is colourful and interesting; -1 star for the fact that the restaurant is crowded and table packed tight so we were elbow-to-elbow with the tables either side making it (along with the music) very loud and noisy, so loud it was hard to hold a conversation with the person opposite me.

Food is insanely good❤ Super nice staff and atmosphere! I fell in love with the Basil Lemonade❤❤❤ Highly recommended!

Superfood, amazing

Amazing food, nice service and colorful, cozy interior! Can wholeheartedly recommend!

Our experience here was mediocre. The specialist dishes were unremarkable and everything else was deep fried, plus the service was slow. Would recommend trying one of the other amazing options available locally instead

Awesome... Lecker, I enjoy myself here. Nice food and perfect environment

Great South African cuisine. African vibe

Nice place to eat and drink some lovely cocktails or a few selection of South Africa ?? beer. The food portions could be a bit more bigger but very tasty ?
