What do critics say about food in Cologne?

Fries Box review by Huseyinakbiyik at Mangal Döner X Lukas Podolski, Köln, Germany

Hüseyin Akbıyık

7.10

So I tried every kind of dish here, and I thought I'd try the local specialty, so I also tried the Pommes Box, but I didn't like it very much. It wasn't very appealing, not filling at all, and the potatoes were too hot, burning my mouth. The taste was still good, but I'd recommend the regular bread döner to anyone who comes here.
