I used to live in Darmstadt (circa 2003-2006) and I have to say that one of my favorite finds in my…read morenewfound city was Lahore Palace. I still dream of the food there. The mixed grill was amazing... I would venture to say that this is my favorite restaurant in the whole world and I've been a lot of places. I may have had better dishes here and there, but Lahore had the ambiance, the service (and that's saying something, as it WAS a restaurant in Germany and they're not known for their service), and scrumptious food and drinks. Do yourself a favor and make a pit stop in Darmstadt on your way back up to the Frankfurt Airport. Lahore will not dissapoint.

A real Lamb biryani does not have orange skin pieces in it. Furthermore, only two Gulab Jamun for 3-4€ is way too expensive.

Upon receiving our mains, we told the waiter that our brown pasta was way undercooked and another pasta was not very flavorful. Instead of the waiter accommodating and welcoming our comments, he broke into a tantrum and a fit about how we should not come back here if we don't like the food and that this is how they make the food and he will not change the way they cook for us. He started yelling about the truffles and that he is italian and knows how it should be. To be honest their home made spaghetti was closer to udon noodles, and their pesto sauce was not a pesto rather an infused oil. We paid our bill and left, and will surely never return there - not because of our bad experience with the food, but because of the very angry and aggressive attitude and energy. People can have bad cook days, but an aggressive attitude is not acceptable.
