Sahila - The Restaurant

Amazing experience! i took my daughter who studies in Koln for her birthday. A true culinary journey with very refined dishes. The only two minor points were: the long wait time between dishes but one can appreciate that each dish is a lot of work and some wines did not match the level of the food. Still highly recommended

I went there for my birthday. Great choice , great food and the service was Top! Very nice atmosphere and I will visit again . One thing which was a bit off for me was the plant on the table . It was plastic and I personally don’t like plastic plants 🌱. All in all , well done Sahila Resturant

Delicious set menu. Manageable portion sizes for the menu (I was able to enjoy the dishes until the last course). The experience is truly a journey around the world. Every dish was very balanced and innovative. Service was super friendly. Great wine selection and knowledgeable sommelier. The chef came to the dining room and spoke to every table. Highly recommend to go here!

Amazing meal excellent food 5 star service. Best meal experience in a long time . Sadly no such places in London . Met with Julia komp amazing talent .

Reservation started at 6:30 PM and we arrived at that time, the main course of the set menu was not served until after 10:00 PM, first dessert served at 10:45 PM, we did not opt to stay for cheese, as this set menu experience was already hours longer than expected or desired, we waited on average 30 minute between each of the 7 courses, one took over 40 minutes. If that time was filled with “experiences”of servers explaining the dishes, the inspirations, the connections between flavors or something, really anything of interest, the wait wouldn’t have felt like such a massive waste of our time, but the servers only ever spent 15 seconds at most explaining what any dish was upon delivery. The timing of how slow the courses came out from the kitchen was definitely frustrating, but even the server suggesting a specific glass of chilled wine to be paired with the next dish, pouring that glass and then that dish not coming out for another 25 minutes is one example of the exceptionally poor planning. When I asked our server if this was a normal amount of time to wait for each dish, he said it’s not usually quite this long, but when I asked the chef if it was normal, she chose not to apologize for the long wait time, instead defending the long wait by saying “these dishes take a long time”. I’ve ate at many stellar Michelin star restaurants serving complex and varied dishes and have never had to wait anywhere near half the amount of time that I did here. If you think waiting that amount of time for each tiny dish to come out is great, you may adore this place! But for me, the entire restaurant staring at their cleared tabletop between courses for 20-30 minutes making the meal last over 4.5 hrs is just too long and a waste of everyone’s time.

Highly recommend this restaurant! The food basically speaks for itself and the staff were phenomenal! Attentive to every detail and very helpful. Made for a special evening for our group. Vielen dank!

Had the pleasure of having a diner at Sahila. Staff was friendly and they share their knowledge of the dishes with you in details, additionally even those unsure about their English skills made sure we were informed of what we were eating (and we could understand them perfectly) would recommend! :)

Amazing experience from start to finish. Cool concept with each course taking inspiration from a different country. Being able to nail them all also shows diverse technical skills from the chef. Wine was great as well. I had never had corn in any dessert in my life until this meal and it shockingly worked really well. Hope to return next time I am in Cologne.
