"this wonderful unique restaurant is definitely my favorite in germany possibly in all europe no kidding. it features organic vegetarian fare as well as organic wine, beer, cider other beverages. i myself am not vegetarian, so this is not my criterion for...my rating, but after all the heavily schweinfleischheavy menus you find in germany, what a relief it is to discover zodiac . the food is as fresh madetoorder as you can find is not only delicious, but food that makes you feel better as soon as you begin eating it. the superwelcoming proprietor mo is of iranian origin i'm pretty sure the staff is comprised of mo's large family, so the cuisine is probably persian at its core, but cannot be defined exclusivlely as such. i've had meals at zodiac, everything i've tried there is good. yesterday i had the delicious ratatouille made with roast vegetables, the freshest tastiest taboulleh you can imagine always order the taboulleh a pizza with feta, spinach olive, which a friend i shared along with a cider a weitzenbier the bill was so as you see the price is surprisingly reasonable. i'll also recommend any of the soups, by the way. always call reserve first, as you never know when the place will be swarming with neighborhood patrons it is certainly popular. the ambience is calming, with low lighting lots of green vines climbing everywhere. the service is very good, but the food being individually prepared comes out in its own time. once you're seated, you won't be rushed in any way. the kitchen is in full view of the dining room you won't hear food processors whirring i'm pretty sure they don't use them or even loud conversation. if you're not able to be seated that night, you can order a pizza from the adjacent takeout window. i tour professionally, whenever i hit essen zodiac is the first place i go. i'll be here a total of days this trip, i'll definitely dine at zodiac at least one more time. thank you mo crew i'll definitely be seeing you soon"
