I tried this restaurant just once but I highly recommend it. I chose the buffet menu and everything…read morewas delicious, the service is so nice and attentive. The Erythrean food reminded me of the Indian food, you can find a lot of vegetables with spices and rice. The vegetable kind of pancakes were the highlight. I was very pleased to find hummus as well. A free warm tee was the icing on cake.

YUMMY, this was very good. We came in at a time when the buffet was not open, but were asked if we…read morewould like to try a platter and got the option between meat or no meat. The meal was perfect to share and consisted of some sort of pancakes with different dishes on top. Very good, filling and reasonably priced.

Randomly happened to be here as a business partner picked it. Never had heard of it before. What a…read morenice find. Love that their stuff is all organic. Super simple, yet stylish decor with a relaxed atmosphere. Service was truly top-notch and very helpful as well as attentive. Most importantly, the food (at lunch) was really good. I found the prices to also be very fair for the quality of food which you are getting. A bit of a pain to get to if you're coming by car (limited parking) or public transport (no subway right near by) but I will definitely make an effort to come back. Will bring my g/f along next time.

Having now been here a couple of times I thought it was time to write a review. I personally like…read morethis place in regards to location and ambiance. I prefer sitting outside in the warmer months and having a glass of wine or coffee. It's kind of a place to go for a quick stop. In the winter, I find the interior really tight when the restaurant is full but it's stylish. Others have written this already but don't go here if you're not into the gliterrati of Eppendorf hanging out. I can easily ignore them and find them entertaining, albeit oftentimes too loud. Everyone wants to be "most important". Whatever, these are all trust-fund babies or advertising drones and they never change wherever you are. The food is mediocre at best but there are some highlights. The place is not consistent which is probably the biggest complaint about their food. The prices are also steep for what you get. I recently had a seafood mix which was I believe 21 Euro. It was horribly small in regards to portion size and was bearable. I've had so much better seafood in my life. The mussels in the dish were the smallest I've seen in a long time. The fish was also off somehow.....I just couldn't put my finger on what it was that threw it off. On the other hand, my g/f was impressed with her penne dish and we both do regularly get the Caesar salad, which actually is more like a chicken-teriyaki salad. Oh well, this is Mars Bar. It's usually like this and you go here knowing what you're going to get. At least the crowd is consistent. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. It's a fun place to "stop in" if you're in the area or live nearby as I do. It's definitely not a destination restaurant where you make an effort to go out of your way and reserve a table. Of course, if you want to show off your Porsche, Ferrari, or Lambo, you can park it right out front and there are a lot of windows so that everyone WILL see that it's you. If you feel ignored, rev the engine a couple times......it's usually loud inside.

Went there on a Sunday for brunch…read more + or the reasons why you want to go there * Location & Atmosphere: The only reason you want to go there. At water level, still central but not overwhelmed with the crowd around the Alster a few meters away. Terrace is much larger than inside the restaurant, so you want to go there only on a sunny/warm day. There is also a possibility to sit on stairs with a drink facing the Alster and the city tower. * Food: For brunch there is a corner for 13,8EUR (drinks not included) with deli meats, smoked salmon, green salad, tomato mozzarella, veggies, scrambled/boiled eggs & white/wholewheat bread. - or the no go * Staff: a BIG downer, damn, the ladies there make you want to either go away or throw something at their faces. Attitudes (What for?) / Withering looks (need a moisturizer?) / Fish faces (Aquarium?). If you decide to go, do your best to ignore their lack of customer oriented skills (euphemism) * Food: 13,8eur is overpriced for what's served. Not a single dessert / cake on that buffet corner. The only veggies plate (eggplant, zucchini, carrots) available bathes in oil. Scrambled eggs look like there are made out of an omelette mix powder (really!?), I stayed away. All in All, You pay for the location which might be cool on a sunny day but even for that, staff might ruin the experience... too bad, I wont go again. I do not recommend the place.
