This is a great place to explore your food cravings. Exotic food for those who have a passion for entertaining their palates. This place has done fine for our dinining experience. I am waiting to try the camel and antelope. The owner and his family are great people, the wait stuff are friendly and drinks are not bad either... read more

Service is excellent, happy hour is great w cocktails only being 4,90. The gin and tonic was made w infused hibiscus flower and quite smooth. Great prices for cocktails w quality liquor. Now the food, wholly molly!! Plenty of vegetarian options. I had the red n yellow lentils w couscous. Amazing flavors! I asked for the sweet potato fries instead of the sour bread, never been a fan of that. The fries were thinly slices white sweet potato and amazing w the lentils. This is now my go to spot for great food. read more

I was very excited to try this restaurant, and my initial impressions were positive - the creative decorations, the nice outdoor seating, the fun bathroom. However everything went downhill from there. They would not provide tap water, which I had forgotten some European restaurants do. 1 L jar of (probably just tap) water was slightly more than €5. I also got guava juice for €3, which they somehow turned into diluted guava-wannabe-soda (1/10 guava and rest flat sparkling water). However, when I pointed out I had originally asked for plain guava juice, they did quickly exchange it out for the correct drink. We ordered 4-5 vegetarian dishes, a chicken dish (51, which she said could only come with sweet potato), and 3 appetizers along with 3 injera sides. The waitress left with our order, only to come back 10 minutes later telling us they ran out of injera. I didn't even know it was possible for Eritrean restaurants to do that without just closing their doors for the day. It's like a Chinese restaurant running out of rice. If we had known, we would have just left and gone to one of the other many Eritrean restaurants in the area. However, having sat down, gotten drinks, and already ordered, we decided to just switch to different starch, ordering couscous and some potato pudding side. The appetizers (barley pudding and couscous with yogurt) came out on banana leaves and were quite yummy. We were very excited for the rest of the meal despite the lack of injera. However, when my meat dish came out, it was an absolute disappointment. I'd asked for spicy, and it was definitely not spicy enough. The fried sweet potatoes it came with were soggy, nothing special, and didn't particularly go well with the dish (I think I would have preferred couscous or even the mashed potatoes to better soak up the stew). The worst part was how over cooked the chicken was. Chicken is the easiest meat to cook tenderly, yet they managed to make it a chewy, stringy mess. When I ate down the stew, the bottom bit was also so salty I had to give it to my husband to eat with an extra order of couscous he had ordered. The vegetarian dishes that had to be eaten with non-injera was a mess. They put everything on the starches we ordered, which just meant all the starches were hidden and one of the dishes had no easily accessible starch to eat it with. The lack of injera also meant there was really nothing to mop up all the liquid that sloshed off the couscous and potatoes. And I have no idea what was in the vegetarian tasting platter, but it was not enough for 6 people to share and try a bit of everything - everyone missed out on something (for example, my husband was the only one to be able to try the single piece of potato sampler on the platter). We ended up spending €100+ for 6 people to get moderately full. Not a great deal for food that was partially great, partiality bad, and mostly just OK. Having had Ethiopian (similar to Eritrean) in DC, SF, and London, where they have never, ever run out of injera, and where they could cook decently tender meat, this was definitely a disappointment. read more

This is hands down our favorite restaurant in the whole world. It is so delicious. If you come here, I can highly recommend Nr. 46 (I think Kukuma it's called) or Nr 51 (I forget what this one is called). The atmosphere is fantastic, the service is (usually) also great and it's all about the delicious food. The best/most fun way to eat is to ask for one big platter so then you can have all meals on one giant plate and share with your friends/partner. My husband loves it so much he actually wants the owner to open a location in Santa Cruz, CA for us. :D lol oh and PS: Best to make reservations, they get busy! read more

I liked this place. The African atmosphere is delightful and the service here was really good. There were some really unique meats offered on a very extensive menu. We went as a group of 4 people on a Saturday night with no reservation. The staff worked hard to find a way to fit us in and found us a table that we needed to vacate in just under 2 hours. My husband and I opted for a combination dish for 2, which consisted of a selection of zebra, ostrich, and some other deer like meat. The flavors on this dish were all wonderful but the meat was all over cooked. The other dishes at the table were more stew type dishes and tasted really good and did not suffer from over cooking. I would try this place again, but probably not get the same dish. read more

We visited this restaurant last night with a group of friends (17 to be exact ). This was me and my wife's first time eating African food. When we walked in I loved the decor but the restaurant is super small. I would not recommend it for groups unless u don't mind being crowed. I had a vegetarian dish #60 and a Pina colada drink. The meal and drink were amazing !! The staff wasn't very friendly I mean when I asked them a question they were nice but I had to ask someone to place my order. Our friends ordered a drink and didn't get it until they were ready to leave. The service could of been better but everyone loved their food in the group. Overall it was a great experience. read more

Wer sich für einen Besuch im "Ambiente Afrika" entscheidet sollte Zeit mitbringen, wird aber in einem gemütlichen und dem Titel gerecht werdenden Restaurant mit stets frisch zubereiteten Speisen belohnt. Mein persönliches Favorit in Stuttgart! read more

address is not so correct,cause the entrance is at Moserstrasse, not at Werastrasse. At Tuesday evening, it was busy, without reservation, we got a table just lean against the bar. A happy hour cocktail drink list right on the table, i choseAfrica queen, turns out, it's not belong to happy hour drinks, of course,like always! but why in the same list? It took more than half hour to arrive,tasted really good, fresh, maybe that was why they let me wait. i had Safari Spezial - Wunder Topf- Gegrilltes Lammfleisch, serviert in einem afrikanischen Tontopf mit Fladenbrot. It was good, couldn't taste lamb at all, since my dish came out of kitchen, the whole room became smoky, the ventilation is not so good there, next day my coat still smelled like that, had send to dry clean. The decoration: they try to make this place looks like Africa, the wood tables, giraffe, dishes,haywhich i think it's interesting, but also a bit too much The bathroom is small and bit dirty, but the washing tub with really flowers in it, looked very romantic. I guess that is worth to try out! read more

WOW!! NOT good at all! I ordered mild food and got super hot spicy food and then instead of replacing it the only thing they said they could do is bring me some yogurt to make it milder! Seriously wtf!!! It was their mistake and now I have to pay 9,90 for a dish that I wanted mild and got HOT. Not to mention that the portion was made for a 3 year old. Sorry if I seem a bit harsh, usually I'm very open to new cultures and foods but this was just unexceptable!!! read more
