SILK ROAD Restaurant Köln — Restaurant in Cologne

Silk Road offers an enchanting culinary journey through Central Asian particularly Tajik cuisine. From the moment you step in, the ambiance immerses you in the rich cultural tapestry of the Silk Road. The menu is a gastronomic adventure, featuring a symphony of flavors that reflect the region's diverse culinary heritage.

The appetizers, such as the savory Samsa pastries and the refreshing Mastoba salad, provide a tantalizing introduction to the feast that follows. The mains are a celebration of spices and skillful preparation, with dishes like Plov, a fragrant rice pilaf layered with succulent meats and aromatic herbs, showcasing the chef's mastery.

The Tajik Plov is a standout, marrying tender meat with sweet raisins and carrots, creating a delightful interplay of tastes. Each bite is a reminder of the historical trade routes that influenced the region's cuisine, blending influences from Persia, India, and beyond.

Vegetarians are not forgotten, with options like the flavorful Lentil Soup and the hearty Mantu dumplings filled with leeks and herbs. The attentive staff is more than happy to guide you through the menu, ensuring a personalized and delightful dining experience.

Silk Road is not just a restaurant; it's a cultural odyssey that transports diners to the heart of Central Asia. Whether you're a culinary explorer or someone seeking familiar flavors with a unique twist, Silk Road promises a memorable dining adventure that transcends borders. It was my second visit this year from Canada and hopefully many...

The food here was never fantastic. The Samsa's dough was too thick, the meat too salty, and the exteriors burnt. The plov was too spicy, despite real plov not suppose to being spicy. The lagman is served in a shallow plate, so not much soup in there.

Despite all of these shortcomings, I used to enjoy coming to this place. It was a little piece of Central Asia where I could eat some Uzbek food when homesick. But today, the awful service I received convinced me that it's not worth eating here. If you are craving Uzbek food, you can always go to the Uzbek restaurant in Frankfurt or to another one in Duesseldorf. The new wait staff, unfortunately, have no idea what service means. They were stubborn, unfriendly, and nasty young kids. Won't be...

I came from the Netherlands and wanted to eat Central Asian food, I went on Google and found this Restaurant. I called and made a reservation fairly quick, I went to there and the worker knew we would come and suggested us a place to sit. We looked at the menu and said our order.

A person with a dog sat next to us, I personally didn’t like that and requested to sit an other place.

The food was great, tasted fresh and was warm. The prices are okay and not too expensive. The workers even replaced us again to a table for 4 persons (we were with 2) because our order was large and it would be more convenient to eat on a larger table.

In conclusion, great experience and I would definitely come back if I am in Köln and desire...
