Great, authentic Greek cuisine. I felt like I was on vacation in Greece. Every dish I eat on vacation in Greece was served. I love it. You love Greek cuisine and don't just associate it with gyros. You've come to the right place!!! Perfect!!!
We spent a lovely evening there with friends and family. Friendly service, delicious food, and a very pleasant seating area. I highly recommend it, and if we were in Cologne often, we would definitely stop here again. Unfortunately, this will be a rare occasion.
This was our first time here. We received a warm welcome and sat outside the tavern. We wanted to order wine, but the waiter was completely unfamiliar and didn't even bother to make any further effort. The food selection is very good, but the value for money is absolutely not there. The food is very basic and the portions are very small for the price. So, we're very willing to pay for good quality, but that's not the case here. The pork fillet skewer was gristly and sinewy, and that's not a fillet. Oven-roasted lamb with rice noodles for €23.90 with exactly five small pieces of lamb, honestly??? If you want to enjoy a cozy evening with a wine (surprise, whether dry, semi-sweet, or sweet) and a few olives, then it's fine. But if you want to eat well for your money, you should choose something else.

Absolute class! The menu has something to offer for everyone, even for me as a vegan or my girlfriend as a vegan. The service is fast, beautiful and accommodating. They feel good and a little far from home. The ambience is pleasant, even if it can be a bit louder with a full house. If you are in Cologne, the Tavern Jamas is definitely one of the visits you cannot leave!
Excellent kitchen. Fish soup very spicy tasted with fresh crisp vegetables. Lamb roast buttery tender with wonderful creamy puree and fine spicy sauce. Also the calfspine that perfectly harmonizes me to the eggplant rout.
Very good food, friendly staff, good wines and beautiful atmosphere. What more do you want? Best booking in summer....
Our Airbnb host recommended us several places to have dinner, and I’m glad we choose Jamas. The service is great and the dishes are perfect, especially the octopus’s dish.
