The…read moreburgers were good but definitely not at the top of my list when it comes to the 'best I've ever had'. Others have commented on this as well but it's centrally located in Bonn and close to all of the shops. You can visit Beethoven's childhood home (now a museum) if you're up for a 10 minute walk. Just ask anyone at the restaurant where it is and they will tell you. If I'm ever back in Bonn I'd definitely go back if given the chance. This place is the epitome of A-OK.

Herr Lehmann is a classy and centrally located burger restaurant in Bonn. The place is very…read morehygienic, the staff is friendly, the service is fast and the portions are huge. I am a burger conservative-even a burger bigot-so I don't know whether it is a good thing that they have a large selection of burgers, ranging from classic burgers with cheddar cheese to internationally-inspired (and I guess experimental) burgers such as burgers with chorizo and dates; nachos, guacamole and salsa; or shrimps and pineapple. As the side dishes, you choose among pommes, curly fries or potato wedges. Especially curly fries are strongly recommended. Herr Lehmann has two serious problems in my opinion. The first one is that it is really difficult to enjoy the taste of the patty as other condiments and sauces dominate the taste. Take the burger "Der Platzhirsch" I had once, for instance. Due to the tangy BBQ sauce, the onions and bacon, I could not really enjoy the taste of an obviously juicy, delicious and properly medium cooked patty. Even basic burgers such as "Herr Lehmanns Cheddar" have the same problem. Burgers taste good, no discussion about it, but I am sure customers would be happier if they can enjoy the taste of the patty-the backbone of a good burger. The other problem is about their buns. Neither ciabatta nor dinkel buns are suitable for burgers I guess. Especially ciabatta bun is so crusty that the patty slides off the bun, leaving you eating the patty, bun and other condiments separately with knife and fork. To quote a view on the best burger bun: "The ideal soft burger bun should be pillowy, squishy, and tender, with a tight but soft crumb and a distinct sweetness. It should hold up nicely to the burger's juices, but should never be tough or cottony. On the opposite end of the spectrum, you don't want a burger that disintegrates half way through your meal." I 100% concur with what's said above. Unfortunately buns at Herr Lehmann are not meeting these standards. It was a huge disappointment for me. Overall, despite its drawbacks, Herr Lehmann might be one of the best places to have gourmet burgers in such a nice atmosphere. With a few minor changes, there is no reason why it cannot be the best burger restaurant in town and a mecca for real burger lovers.

Served very rare sizzling on a VERY hot cast iron brick...you remove the steak onto a lower part of the plate, slice and place back on the brick to cook to your liking. This quality of meat rivals or exceeds some of the best US steakhouses I've eaten in. Very open floorplan so was a bit noisy, but still an excellent experience with clients.

Namaste appears to be a hidden gem in Ippendorf, a little outside of the city center. It is a…read morefamily business run by a very nice family who, as far as I know, come from the Punjab region in India. I have always enjoyed the way they treated me as a customer-always friendly, always attentive, always kind, and always fast. True, the decoration inside is as kitsch as it could get. True, it was formerly a Greek restaurant and you can still see the remnants of it. True, it is not sufficiently ventilated inside. True, the bathroom might have been more hygienic. BUT... When one is to talk about Namaste's food, s/he should open a clean sheet and forget about all of the downsides. To start with the starters, without a doubt Namaste is serving the tastiest samosas in town. Period. Paneer pakora and vegetarian pakora tasted so good, too. Chicken pakora is, however, disappointingly mediocre. I should note that what makes those starters taste even better are the sauces served beforehand. Hausgemacht mint chutney, mango chutney and a spicy combination of vegetables (shame I don't know what it's called) make the whole experience unforgettable. If I were the business owner, I'd even sell mint and mango chutney in cans with a catchy brand name to make more money and institutionalize eventually. :) Pappadam and (butter) nan taste really good. Still, it is a mystery why they sometimes serve pappadam on house and sometimes they don't. Same applies for mango lassi-sometimes they serve it for free, sometimes they don't. About swads...I strongly recommend lamm kefte masala, lamm rogan josh, lamm korma, chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, and chicken madras curry. Indeed tikka masala and butter chicken are generally not considered as genuine Indian food but they are still worth the try. Also, I strongly recommend kefte masala for those who want to taste as if they are having a garlic sausage in a spicy sauce, and korma for those who enjoy their meat, chicken or lamb, in a sweet and creamy curry. I don't recommend lamm kadahi and Namaste India Special, especially the latter. In my opinion, especially Namaste India Special was neither Indian, not special; it was rather like a money trap. The rice served along with swads always tastes so aromatic and good. I'd say the prices are high for the food you have in Namaste's atmosphere outside of city center. Therefore, it is always better to enjoy Namaste's lunch deals or open buffet options whenever possible. Overall, I am sure no one regrets to eat at Namaste as it is one of the best (and undiscovered) Indian restaurants in town. Even a starter and a curry will convince you that Namaste is different (and better) than the rest of Indian restaurants in Bonn. :)
