We came here when we were hungry from a day's walking around Mannheim's shopping area. We wanted…read moresomething simple to hold our hunger, so we ordered soup and some appetizers. I got the waldpilzsuppe (regional mushroom soup), which I liked, but bf wasn't so lucky with his Asian-inspired Thai-Kokossuppe (Thai coconut soup), which lacked flavors. However, the portions were big, so we were pretty stuffed when we finished the soup. The appetizers were not good. We shared the fried chicken nuggets with curry dip (forgot the German name) and the schafskäse (German baked sheep's cheese with vegetable). The chicken was overfried to the point of inedibility (if I were a food critic, then I would have sent it back to the kitchen), and the schafskläse was simply too heavy even as an appetizer. Perhaps we made less than ideal choices for our meal as they had pizzas we saw nearby looking tastier than our food.

With only a few tables in the place you quickly make new friends and end up dining next to strangers.

Would highly recommend this place to others in Heidelberg.

Schnitzelbank is the highest rated restaurant in Heidelberg, and with just cause…read more We lucked out coming here around 1430 HRS because we just missed the lunch rush and just beat the early dinner crowd. The weather was beautiful for sitting outside. I wish I had gotten our server's name because he was outstanding. Friendly, witty, and willing to help navigate the menu - he made our dining experience even better. We started with a couple of local wines that were amazing - a red and a rosé. Some bread and butter came to our table with our escargot starter and side salad. The bread and starter were delicious. Our snails were hot and garlicky with plenty of juice to sop up. The side salad was also very tasty and fresh. For our mains I went with the Schnitzelbank Platter and my lady went with the Pepper Schnitzel. My platter came with a local delicacy called saumagen, as well as roasted pork, sausage, roasted potatoes, and sauerkraut. The saumagen was the highlight for me. Our server was also excited we got it. It is a local offering consisting of various meats and other items wrapped up in a stomach and served as a loaf-style meat. The pepper schnitzel was also outstanding - the sauce was indeed peppery, but it didn't smother the schnitzel, which was breaded nicely and not dry, as some schnitzels can be. And after all that food, still, an apple strudel. This was so worth it. I don't even like sweets in the USA, but in Europe, they are something else. This was something else. We had a lot of great meals on our trip, but this was probably the best. Not just for the food, but for the overall experience, it's easy to see why this is the shining star in Heidelberg.

I learned while visiting Mannheim that the city has an enormous Turkish population, and therefore it has dozens of Turkish restaurants. Uzun Tasfirini is acclaimed as one of the best spots in the "Little Istanbul" neighborhood, specializing in pides. Pides (pronounced "pea-days") are the Turkish equivalent to pizza. This snack food is a large flatbread topped with ground lamb, tomatoes, and spices, which bakes in a wood-fired oven for less than 10 minutes. It is then cut into squares and served with peppers, parsley, and lemons. You assemble the peppers and parsley yourself, squeezing lemon over your pide before you fold it up and indulge in this pizza treat. It's a simple, delicious dish that you can't miss out on if you're in Mannheim or are feeling homesick for a slice of pizza.

A fresh, filling meal including a drink will run you about 6 Euros, which is hard to beat. To start, order the mercimek corbasi soup, a lentil soup made fresh in house. It comes with fresh baked Turkish flat bread, lemon and spices. For the main course, there's a variety of pides to choose from, but my favorite is the spinach & feta -- freshly chopped bright green spinach mixed with creamy cheese, engulfed in homemade Turkish bread, with generous brushed butter on top, crisped to perfection. Heaven is a place on earth with you.

The bibimbap was nicely cooked in a stone pot and it was sizzling hot when it arrived at the table. I liked all the vegetables in there. The beef with noodles dish was mediocre and it was missing some seasoning. Overall, Soban serves good quality Korean food in the middle of Heidelberg.

I should have followed my lunch partner's lead and just ordered the soup, as it was very filling and had a nice flavor. The Nuremburg sausage was tasty as was the sauerkraut it was nested upon. I wasn't able to finish the portion since the soup filled me up. I would definitely recommend this place if you are in search of authentic German food in the area.
