Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Ja lecker ne! Gnocci solala durch, aber die Soße! Die Soße kann echt was! Deshalb hat mein Freund hier das Essen wegschnabbuliert bevor ich ein Foto machen konnte. Sorry dafür!"
"Wow! Dieses feine Lokal am Rande Kölns überzeugt in allen Belangen das Salatdressing erinnert mich an die sanfte Küste Italiens und versetzt die Seele in einen jodelnden Freudentaumel."
"Leckeres Essen zum kleinen Preis. Das Angebot könnte ein wenig größer sein, allerdings ist das bei der Masse an Studenten nur schwierig umzusetzen."
"Gutes Essen zum sehr guten Preis. Die Beilagentheke ist auch sehr gut. Ein Nachteil meiner Meinung nach ist jedoch, dass es ziemlich oft Pommes gibt, was nicht so gut ist, wenn man dort jeden Tag als Student isst. Stattdessen könnte es zum Beispiel öfters Püree oder Reis geben.Außerdem schließt die Mensa zu früh. Ich habe von 10:00-14:00 ein anwesenheitspflichtiges Seminar und schaffe es anschließend nicht mir etwas zu essen zu holen, weil die Mensa um 14:15 mit der Essensausgabe aufhört, was ich zu früh finde."
"Sehr moderne und saubere Mensa. Es gibt ein super leckeres Salatbuffet und jeweils ein vegetarisches und ein nicht-vegetarisches Gericht. Mittags ist es oft recht voll."
"Alles top! Aber bei dem heißen Wetter und dem Grillen draußen sind die armen Mensa-Mitarbeiter kurz vorm Kollabieren. Bitte sorgt für Ventilatoren oder andere kühlende Maßnahmen, damit es für sie nicht so anstrengend ist."
"Die beste Uni Mensa, in der ich bisher war. Gute Angebot an vegetarischen/begaben Speisen. Manchmal könnten die Portionen etwas größer sein, und manchmal ist das Essen sehr wild zusammengestellt (Chili son carne mit Mayo und pommes), aber es schmeckt eigentlich immer ganz gut."
"Wow best place for lunch. So nice place , food price very cheap , very crowded place , full of youths. I enjoyed this place."
