Sowohl die Fleisch- wie auch die veganen bzw. vegetarischen Gemüsegerichte waren von ausgezeichneter Qualität und perfekt gewürzt, nicht zu scharf aber auch nicht zu mild. Der empfohlene Wein, ein Syrah aus Südafrika, passte perfekt dazu. Man isst übrigens wie traditionell in Afrika mit den Fingern indem man das Gemüse oder Fleisch mit kleinen Stückchen vom Fladenbrot, dem Injeera, aufnimmt. Aber wer lieber mit Besteck essen möchte, der darf das natürlich auch. Der Service war freundlich und humorvoll, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und empfehlen das Restaurant gerne weiter. Aber bitte einen Tisch reservieren, das Lokal ist zu Recht beliebt und gut besucht.

I was visiting a friend in Stuttgart and we were wondering where to have dinner last night. I…read morewanted to go to a place that neither of us had been to, and in a city -- country, really -- of sausages, kababs and faux-Chinese noodles, Ethiopian food definitely stood out as an interesting option. Restaurant Äquator's Yelp reviews boasted high ratings and were in German, which told me that this was a favorite with locals. The restaurant had a nice ambience and had a consistent stream of clientele through the course of our dinner, even though it was on the quiet, mellow side. The owner -- I wish I had asked for his name -- was kind and took time to make suggestions. My friend and I had the sense that he was going to look after us quiet well. Based on his recommendation, we got the sample platter for two consisting of veggies and meat. I'm not exactly an expert of African cuisine but I believe I've had some great, authentic Ethiopian food due to the fact that there's a concentrated Ethiopian neighborhood in Los Angeles, where I'm from. Our meal at Aquator was excellent and comparable to what I've experienced in the past. To top off our meal, the owner served us complimentary digestifs. What a pleasant surprise! I'm not sure that this is a part of the normal service but I do believe it's an extension of the care with which they serve all their patrons. I'm already back in London but my friend was so impressed with the food and the service that she will be going back soon with her husband. I would be a third wheel to their party of two in a heartbeat if I was still in town!

Bottom line for our family, we are coming back again. Just order the mixed platter and you will be…read moregood to go!

I tried their zebra and crocodile dishes, and their lamb samosas…read more The zebra was my favorite dish because of how tender the meat was even when fully cooked (which I usually don't like), and the bed of vegetables both the zebra and crocodile were on was delicious. The vegetables had extremely rich flavors that go perfectly with the exotic meats. The crocodile meat was a little tougher, which wasn't my preference. The samosas were perfectly crispy on the outside and had the right amount of their original sauces (one chili, one mango) to go with it. Also, beautiful restaurant and beautiful food presentation. The pictures don't do the food justice. Must try: zebra dish and lamb samosas If you're going with a group of 5 or more, make reservations ahead of time. There's a list of reservations even before they open. If you have a smaller party, you won't have a problem finding a table. Waittress was nice and can make good recommendations.

The food took an excruciatingly long time to come out, possibly due to the number of people in our group vs. the size of the facility. The prices were somewhat reasonable, if their exotic menu selection is actually true (which I doubt). All in all, I would go back, but only with one or two people, just to see if the experience is any different.

Very tasty Eritrean/Ethiopian Food…read more Two of us shared the large Africa Platter with 2 extra pieces of Injeera bread and were full after. I couldn't read the German Menu but the platter had the basic staples I remember from Ethiopia and Ethiopian Restaurants in San Francisco. Shiro Yellow Lentils, Doro Wat Chicken, Doro Tibs (lamb), Spinach, Hard Boiled Eggs, plus some salad and potato salad. The dishes were low on spice to appeal to what seems to be the local German preference but I would have preferred to really feel more spicy heat from the Bereberi Spices. The restaurant has nice ambiance and the service was friendly if also a bit slow since it was a busy Saturday night. The price was fair at €43 for 2 with the platter, extra Injeera, one round of drinks and soup. I will for sure go back again.
