Loved all the food we had. Tried the spaghetti, tortellini, lasagna and pizza. I highly recommend you give it a try. Also I don't know who says what the prices are on Yelp, but this place should only have $$. Not the $$$$ they have it listed as.

Great food by any standard and simply the best vegetarian/vegan meals I have ever had. Great price, great food, fast service. A must whenever you are in Darmstadt

This is more than a coffee shop, but stops short of a restaurant, I would describe it as a small,…read moremodern, self-service eatery. They serve freshly made rice, curry and lentil dishes, wraps and a delicious Mango Lassi. If you're a vegetarian Mondo Deli can make a nice change from salad. But, I'm always a bit disappointed in the pudding menu. You can sit out in the summer, but it can get very busy at lunch time, you can always order a take out to eat at your desk though.

This Mexican restaurant located in the general central area of Darmstadt is a very good choice for…read morea good Mexican dinner and a nice drink. Dinner can be enjoyed on their cozy patio on a good weather day or in their spacious and well-kept dining room if the weather is not conducive to eating outside. The dining room is kept rather dark, which is not necessarily bad, and it seems quite comfortable. But I opted for outside. The location for this place was convenient as I was staying by the train station. It was closer than anything in the core center city area and was about a 10 -15 minute walk for me. It was reasonably easy to find. I visited on a Sunday night and found it not to be too busy. Hence, it was not diificult to find a seat on the patio on that lovely summer evening and it also set the stage for the service to be rather good since the server was not overwhelmed. I like getting ethnic fare in different places as it is interesting to compare, in this case, the German take on Mexican versus the US take on Mexican. One would expect, for proximity reasons, the US take to be more authentic, and it usually is based on my experience. But this place had a definite TexMex bent, enough so to make it enjoyable. They definitely seemed to focus a bigger effort in making their drinks authentic relative to the food dishes, but the taste of the food was good and that is the main point when all is said and done. I wanted to eat lighter as I am in the midst of an effort to reduce weight (successful efforts so far, didn't want to mess that up) and there were a couple of things that were quite in line with my needs. The one I chose was the Chicken Bowl and it was a great choice indeed. Coming with grilled chicken strips, avocado, baby spinach, mexican rice & quinoa, refried beans, red cabbage, coconut yoghurt, pickled onions, radishes and roasted corn, it was rather tasty. I paired that with a very good Tempranillo red and was quite satisfied with my dining experience. With food, wine, a large sparkling water and a small tip, the bill came to 34 euros. This was not bad considering the quality and quantity of the fare. I was happy with this value and would not hesitate to return if in Darmstadt again.

Ok, when it comes to Tex-Mex, I am spoiled. My sister used to live around the corner so we went…read more Interieur - nice Staff - friendly Drinks - good and reasonably priced Food - well, this is definitely not Pappasito's. The food lacked the flavorful spice of tex-mex cuisine. The salsa lost its kick somewhere in a can of tomato paste and tasted more like children's pasta sauce. The rest was ok. Parking - don't even attempt. So if this place could use some it is spice - mainly jalapenos, habanero, green chile, anaheim peppers, poblano peppers etc. Any type of pepper, really.

I have never been so disgusted or outraged in a restaurant before…read more If you want to eat a soggy mediocre burger, whilst being treated like s**t by the front of house staff, this is THE place for you! The Tunisian manager on duty during the evening promised us a table for 1 hour 15 minutes which seemed accommodating. The service staff were excellent, attentive and kind but the direction they received from their manager meant that despite the fact that we were only 30 minutes into our designated 75 minutes table time, he cancelled our second burger order without notifying us, and sent the waiting staff with the bill as soon as 55 minutes had gone by. The waiting staff who were attentive and kind were clearly embarrassed at having to convey the bill and the fact that our order had been terminated and one waitress was really lost for words. When I complained to the manager in question, he had nothing to say as he had enough customers sitting at tables, filling his pockets. He offered no apology, didn't try and suggest any other solution and simply expected us to swallow his insults and leave. More astoundingly, when we left the restaurant, he followed after us and very threateningly tried to physically harass my wife and I, grimacing and shouting "what's your problem?" It was clear what HIS problem was. Clearly aggrieved that everyone in his restaurant had witnessed our dissatisfaction, and how remarkably every waitress had come to side with us and against their manager, he wanted to prove something and in the street decided to try and accost my wife and I. We clearly re-articulated why we were dissatisfied but this didn't help him threatening us in the street with racial abuse (we are British) and Arabic swear words directed towards us. He claimed not to speak English when we entered the restaurant but managed some very choiceful words in mainly English but also German and Arabic when he wanted to insult us on the street in front of his institution. We had quite a crowd gather around us and in the end, my wife and I respectfully retired and left this manager to go and assault the next customer. Manni & Peet is the place for anyone who has no appetite for customer service, wants to eat food served by waitresses who are clearly downtrodden and badly treated, and finally wants to enrich an establishment who employs a manager who seeks to verbally and physically threaten customers if they don't go along with what he views as his "rules". Dine here at your peril. There are finer places to eat in Darmstadt and in any city in the world. Service should count for a lot in this world, and thankfully Google and other forums allow normal members of the public to have a say even in places where the manager is "the king"... his words, not mine! Long live the Tunisian Empire of Manni & Peet!!!
