What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Ghorban Delikatessen is lauded for its impeccable ingredient quality and cozy atmosphere, with patrons praising the antipasti, wine selection, and friendly service. However, some diners have experienced exceptionally slow service and found the prices to be high for the portion sizes, leading to a feeling of poor value. The vegan options are noted as being limited.
"With the street fair in old town, we were lucky to have gotten in before they stopped serving food.
We ordered a Burrata salad plate (for 1) that also had ham. Excellent. We also ordered a meat and cheese platter (for 1). The selection of food and its preparation and presentation was excellent for both plates. Top it off with a great inexpensive bottle of Douro wine and it was an excellent dinner. We sat inside at a cozy high top table and listened to 80s pop music.
The waitress was so helpful and absolutely lovely. Her English was great and she made us feel glad to be there. The man behind the counter that created all the plates is extremely conscientious with his food prep and changed his gloves and several times. Great eye for food plate detail and design. We were so glad we choose to eat here on our short stay in Aachen!"

"Tasty Gorgonzola ciabatta, with a German Sauvignon Blanc (tasted more like a French Vorvray) and good espresso macchiato… I just missed having a water chaser with my espresso."

"Nibbles were nice, small but well-rounded wine selections, and a great time (and tunes!). Service was great but then slow; but overall a great time if you fancy wine and charcuterie."

Lovely shared plate of antipasti and breads with an excellent bottle of wine. Ghorban is basically a very classy Deli and Wine Bar jusylt off the market square with a few small tables and high chairs. It's popular so well worth booking but that does mean the few tables are tightly packed in.

Overall Rating: While I have not yet been there in person I've been told coffee is okay and they apparently sell beans too.
