I haven't been so fascinated by an inn for a long time; there is a lot of delicacy for gourmets. The portions are in a good and filling league. The restaurant is actually extremely stylish. No cheap decoration, instead the colors were very nicely matched to each other. Fast and polite service. I think all the staff did a great job there.

The decoration creates a great atmosphere! Seats on the floor, but also on chairs possible. The food is almost exclusively eaten by hand. The dishes are extremely good. Definitely something for vegans :)

I was today in this restaurant with my friends. We ordered three plates and we mentioned that one of them should not be spicy. I can’t eat spicy at all. What I got was a very spicy food. At the beginning I didn’t understand that so I started to eat a lot (I was starved) and then just literally felt that my mouth was burning. Maybe it was a human mistake or maybe this traditional food goes spicy by default. We asked the waitress why so. She was so cute, amiable and so affected by the fact that I couldn’t eat it that wanted to call the chef, try the food, see whats wrong and so on. I am not a scandal person so I decided not to call the chef. Just paid my bill and decided that afrikan food is not for me??‍♀️ The rest was nice, interesting design, tasty beer. My friends had a good experience there. )))

It was our first time here today and the positive reviews did not disappoint. The large restaurant is currently closed due to Corona but that is also stated on the homepage, so the selection of dishes is very small. The food tastes great, sooooo delicious! The staff are very attentive and friendly. We were here for the first but not the last time. For that we will definitely drive another 50km! I can only recommend it! Service, food, ambience, price NOTE 1!

Life has brought us here (the trip should actually go somewhere else) and we are overjoyed and grateful! Probably the best meal we've ever eaten. The staff was friendly, especially the boss is very cheerful and ready for a joke. We felt very comfortable and the food was heavenly. Absolutely fresh and delicious! Thank you very much for this evening and see you soon !!

Casual casual ... or is there someone's success in recent years head over heels? (Success probably through the Mainz wine market as a welcome change with a nice seating area) Culinary always the same okay.

Always my pleasure! The staff is very friendly and helpful, the food tastes good and the atmosphere is right. The menu is very clear, but I think that's pretty good, then you don't have to think forever to regret the selection. A larger selection would make no difference there, it is simply a completely different way of eating (without cutlery with your hands, the bread as a spoon / fork and directly in your mouth)

We ordered from Lieferando and are very satisfied. The service is fast and friendly, the menu selection is manageable but very good. The portions are completely sufficient. Is very positive, the packaging is environmentally friendly ????. We will definitely order again!

Food on the street unfortunately only okay because there is no injera and that definitely defines the typical taste. The sauces are good and the red lentils need a little more flavor. The potatoes are great, but the sauce could have a little more structure. Thanks :) Humus super delicious ♡

Have asked for a place upstairs, but this was rejected directly, since supposedly nothing would be free. I went upstairs to wash my hands and was able to tell straight away that this statement was a lie. In addition, card payment is only possible from 30 euros. It is rather unusual. I will not eat there anymore.

The food is ok, but please serve your meals with knives available. I understand that you want to provide us the original experience, but it's not always fun getting dirty while having a meal.

Wow! What a taste experience and what a wonderful ambience! The mixed platter for 2 people was very nice to look at, the wine harmonized great and the homely, low table with the upholstery near the floor whispered: stay a little longer! Booking in advance is wise at least on a Friday; the restaurant is very busy - and rightly so!

A cool 'adventure'! In the heart of Africa offers, in a very nice atmosphere, really delicious food. The portions we had were all very big and we had to return half for sure. The staff was very friendly and hard-working, they also told us how to eat it, because, you should probably mention, you eat here with your hands. But there are towels on the tables and you can wipe your hands. The price-performance ratio was good. Why we have to pull off a star is that it has already burned pretty much in the mouth and the degree of severity was not always signposted on the map.

Great food, very friendly staff. Fair pricing: mixed platter for two people plus 1L Beer for 17€ / person. Great seasoning - spicy is acutally spicy. Be sure to make reservations.

Awesome time. Make sure you have a reservation on a Friday night, by 630pm we we're put into a smaller side wall table. We had fun with and enjoyed the experience of everything. The food ,oh my, amazing flavor. We had the combo for two. The entire meal is eaten without utensils, be prepared to use your hands. Only come with people you would allow to double dip! Outside is very plan you may pass by without knowing your there. The door has a bell on the right side. You have to ring and be let in. Handwash stations are scattered about so you can clean up after you enjoy. Very casual and they have English menus, Staff will guide you.

Amazing food that is also fun to eat. The decor is very well done. The portions are also pretty big, for about 12 euro a person you can get a lot of food. It is a little on the dark side but all of the tables are well lit. I would definitely recommend this place as long as you are ok eating with your hands.

I don’t remember enjoying this cuisine as much as I did last week for my birthday dinner. We shared the combination plate with meats and vegetarian dishes with the spongy bread. The spices and herbs used to cook gave me almost a euphoric feeling by the end of the meal and I was so happy with the experience. We sat close to the floor and had some African beer while we waited and the staff were very nice checking on us throughout the visit. I can’t wait to come back here!
