The Room By Kozeen Shiwan

This is far from JUST a dinner, everything was incredibly thought out from the setting to the cutlery to the wine and drinks to the dishes of course, every small bit of food was divine and something to write home about, every bite being better than the last, the staff was incredibly professional and nice, and talkative which made it a bit more comfortable for someone who doesn't go to restaurants this fancy often, altogether one of the best experiences I've had in a restaurant, and would highly recommend anyone who has the chance to visit to run, not walk to taste the creations The Room has to offer :)

This is not a dinner, it’s a Wold-class show with magical atmosphere and incredible taste experience. Such a bold mix of Middle East culture mixed with Nordic stile gave us an unforgettable memorie. And of corse with full vegan options. Thank you for such a high class service!

A wonderful experience. Something very different in Helsinki. Very well thought plates. My high was the sorbet 🍧 Just amazing trick play with ingredients and technical knowledge of skilled cooking techniques. King of potato was missing something in my mouth and I felt a little hungry again after 2-3 hours. Service was warm and professional. Wine expert needs to carry herself with a little more confidence. You have it young lady. Take your stage.

Food was very good and well prepared and a very nice concept. You can see how the chef is very meticulous and I think was a good experience overall, my personal favorite was the date. The two big BUTS are the winelist, it is very reduced to like 4-5 options and the focus on a kind o organic wine that is very bad and the chefs egocentricity. You can ser this on his pictures and in my opinion to some extent this is nice but it literally is everything about him and such ego kind of ruins or you forget the purpose of why you were there (because of the food) also he explains every dish super fast and with so many ingredients is almost impossible to follow on what you are eating

Food itself was innovative and well prepared. But the portion were super tiny to the point that we left hungry after 8 courses. One would expect small portions in fine dining but a course consisting of one (!) olive is not acceptable as a course, in my opinion. Also a course with one boiled potato as it’s main ingredient, is not something that you would expect getting as course in any restaurant… There was no ready option for wine pairing to all of the courses. They offer a ”beverage” package to the menu, but this included wine only to some of the courses and 2 of the courses had a juice paring and last course with a choice of coffee or tea. We wanted to substitute the juices and coffee with wines and asked to see a wine list. This however, was not possible, because "it would have ruined the atmosphere of the dining room". We did get the wines for all of the courses but without the opportunity the choose. Some of the wine pairings were excellent whereas some did not compliment the flavors of the course at all. When the bill came, we had been charged up to 25 euros per glass for some of the wines we had. Even in Finland, I think that is an outrageous price for wine! I did comment on that to the staff, the answer was that the wines were of ”3 star quality” and they had to open some bottle just for us which put the prices up…Without seeing a wine list with prices first, I felt we were being scammed. Even though we did enjoy many of the flavors that were served to us and the waiters were super polite and professional, the overall experience left us hungry and we felt it was not good value for the money (410 euros for 2 persons) we spent.

The whole evening was a beautiful and delectable experience. The dishes represent different chapters of the chef’s biography and were served using ceramics custom-made for every dish. The whole concept is absolutely unique, and we were pretty full after the dinner. Food wise I’d like to especially point out how exceptional King Potato and The Unknown were, truly exceeded all expectations.

Newest Michelin restaurant in Finland. Worth every penny. Whole experience is awesome. Would not change a thing. And will go again. If I can get a table. 14 spots, 8 courses of greatness. Whole course based on chefs history. Nice concept

The restaurant The Room has earned its Michelin star! The dinner was an amazing experience in terms of the restaurant space, the tasting menu’s story, the recipes, the flavors, the service, and the atmosphere. Kozeen is a storytelling professional who knows how to take care of customers. The food was inventive and delicious. I will return again!
