I am a bit of a fanatic about Ethiopian food. That being the case, I am not sure that I could tell…read morethe difference between that and Eritrean food... I have been delightedly stuffing myself without knives and forks on the likes for years now. On one hand, I am happy that such a place exists in Darmstadt. The food itself was quite good. The portions, though, were somewhat small for my Western appetite. The place DOES offer, though, quite the Lion King ambience, complete with (somewhat loud) tribal-sounding music, very nature-preserve-looking benches and chairs, and decidedly ethnic-seeming waitresses. All in all, the experience is one worth noting, especially in the somewhat homogeneously milky Darm-a-tropolis. Make sure to make a reservation, though. Darmstadt is full of yuppies with little imagination and practically no thirst for real adventure. (I.e., Frankfurt is but a hop, skip, and a jump away, people.)

It's amazing what she has done with it. For the food and restaurant, I would have given a 5 star. May be a 4.5 because the portion sizes could be bigger. The problem is mama pearl does not joke with Africans. We initially perceived her to be extremely rude and over bearing and somewhat condescending towards other Africans only for her to suddenly convert into an angel sharing experience, giving hugs by the time we left. I will most definitely be going back but if you do decide to go, do not say you were not warned of her somewhat brash first impression. That said, she grows on you like your favorite grand mother.

The motto of this restaurant reads: "Where Urwald meets Odenwald!",…read moreand it is indeed a curious combination: the union of a German "Biergarten" with an authentic African restaurant run by a Nigerian princess. The menu features exotics like Nigerian curry chicken with sweet potatoes next to the most Hessian of all dishes, i.e. "Handkäs mit Musik". The place is not easy to find. It's at the back of the Felsenmeer, coming up from either Jugenheim or Auerbach, going through Balkhausen, a colourful sign marks the turnhof to Ada's Buka. A winding road straight through the woods leads to the old Odenwald-style farmhouse complex from which one can easily reach the Felsenmeer by foot, which is always well worth a visit, especially with children. Afterwards the tables in the little courtyard are very welcoming indeed. Or one can spend an interesting culinary evening in the truly African atmosphere of the restaurant. Both, Biergarten and restaurant, are only open in summer (from April to October).

If you are interested in authentic African food in a beautiful and unique environment, Im Herzen…read moreAfrikas is the place for you! Before I even get to the food, I have to talk about the atmosphere as it is truly special and makes you feel the African vibes. Everything seems to be interestingly shaped and carefully curated to fit the theme. There is even a little treehouse sort of elevated seating area and a part of the restaurant with sand on the floor. You just have to take a look for yourself. As for the food, it is really authentic style where you eat everything with only your hands. The menu is sort of limited, where you pick a handful of items to be served on a single large plate and shared. We got 3 kinds of beef, chicken, lentils, and white cabbage. They all had a good flavor, and some were quite spicy. It was served with lots of bread on the side, which was flat, soft, yet somewhat fluffy. The way to eat this is by grabbing the food with the bread (kind of like making a little wrap). It's 18 EUR per person, which is a decent deal. I also got the non-alcoholic "momo is back" cocktail (9 EUR), which was a mix of lime juice, grenadine, peach juice, and guava juice. It was tasty and served in a nice cup with garnish on top. The staff are friendly and helpful. We were able to get a table for two with no wait on a weekday night, but I know it can be quite busy at peak times. Overall, I had a great and unique experience at Im Herzen Afrikas and highly recommend it to anyone interested in trying some African food in Frankfurt!

They even subbed out okra for spinach for me, no questions asked, and all the people sitting in the restaurant were regulars!

Highly recommend! We were able to make a reservation online but ended up just sitting at the bar,…read morecuz the vibe was right. Based off recommendations I got from friends, we started with the lamb sambusas and then had the 2 person platter. I got a glass of red wine and my husband tried the African beer. The beer was served in a wooden bowl! The food itself was so good. I wanted to eat my weight in the sambusas - they were spiced so nicely! The 2 person platter was great - we were taught how to eat using the injeria instead of a fork and knife (we were provided cutlery if we didn't want to eat the traditional way). All of it was so good, but I did get a couple of bites of meat with some gristle. We then got a dessert - the black rice witb mango sauce. My husband was so full, he planned to only have one bite. He ate half! Can't wait to return - we'll be trying the vegan platter next

Best Vegan Meal all week!!…read more What a relief that there were probably 8-10 vegetarian options with most of them being vegan-clearly listed together on the menu. I ordered the Schiro which was like a chickpea puree with spices on the Ethiopian bread. It was one of the few spicy dishes listed. While I like things REALLY spicy, it was very flavorful but not 'hot spicy', and was just perfect even though I typically get more 'spicy hot' foods. My dinner was 6.55 euro. My friends got a sampler platter that included some vegan options. On their plate the vegan options were pleasant in presentation and tasted great! Nice portion sizes, decent prices for downtown. Quaint restaurant. Not sure why it was so hot inside, it was definitely warm. They were very busy for a weekday evening. We had a great time and if I am ever back in town, I will return for sure!

It truly pains me to do this, but I have to downgrade Nollywood a star. I still think they rock,…read morebut the food last time I was there was a mess. I considered giving it another go before writing this, but I have concluded I will no longer eat off of their every day menu and will simply go there for the Saturday buffet (which I still think is better than Kenkey House in Sachsenhausen). The last time I was here I ordered a groundnut stew. It came out with the wrong protein, and the flavors were just off. It tasted like peanut butter. I like the subtle hints of peanuts throughout in this stew, but for the entire thing to just taste like peanut butter is a bit much. My boyfriend's food wasn't too appetizing either. The portions here are so large that it is really difficult to know where to start eating and it leaves me stressed because I can't finish it and the pounded yams don't hold well for leftovers. I don't know really what else to say except I am going to stop going here for meals unless it is buffet day for a while. I hope they can get their game back on track because I really like this place and its owner.
