Fantastic food! The wine selection was all German wines and, while they don't compare to some…read morefamous French or Californian regional wines, they were good! Wait staff was extremely friendly and attentive. The selection for finer dining in Karlsruhe is pretty slim, so this place really stands out above the others! If I were staying in town longer I'd be back again. I will be coming back to this restaurant here next time I pass through Karlsruhe!

Recommended to me as the "best falafel in Karlsruhe", but it failed to impress me…read more I tried a combo plate which sounded promising and looked great when served (falafel, chicken, hummus, baba ghanoush, salad, yogurt sauce). The falafel was indeed fresh (the mash is waiting in a bowl to be fried after your order) and it tasted good, but not great. And the chicken was very dry (it was night closing time, so maybe it was "tired" all day, but still). Will visit again to give it a second chance.

I is good but not overwhelming. The hummus and the babaganush are not hand made, which is a pity…read more The falafel are not bad. But they do like what they do which give a certain spice to the plate!!

-- Food: Had a great salad there and would recommend the Oktave salad to a salad lover like me…read more -- Variety: Small and fresh selection of foods. -- Service: attentive and very friendly -- Price: Average -- Overall: If you're bored with Döner, Pizza and other unhealthy option, try this little Cafe

Food poisoning :-( Have frequented here since opening &…read morenoted a steady decline in the food. It's a great ambiance, perfect location, good drink selection and friendly staff, yet slowly but surely, the same dish from a year ago arrives less fresh, over salted, and generally unloved more and more. (The slightly higher prices don't justify the lowering standard either) Today we reach a low point as I nurse my girlfriend with bacterial food poisoning after the chicken salad there last night (set in within a couple of hours). I believe it could turn itself around, but will only do so if feedback such as this is received.

Sicherlich ist das Mediterrane Durlach eine gute Wahl: Leckeres Essen,…read more schneller und höflicher Service, sehr angenehme Atmosphäre. Trotz einer sehr langen Wartezeiten am Ende auf die Rechnung (22 Minuten finden wir völlig übertrieben, dem Service ist da wohl ein interner Kommunikationsfehler unterlaufen), kann Alphafuchs das Mediterrane Durlach empfehlen. Uns persönlich gefällt die Durlacher Filiale mehr als jene in Karlsruhe, da man sich dort einfach gemütlicher fühlt (die Tische stehen nicht in direkter Nähe des Eingangsbereiches und der Theke). Am Schluss muss ich ein weiteres Mal erwähnen, dass es mich immer wieder wundert, wenn das Restaurantmanagement nicht versteht, dass zu stark parfümiertes Bedienungspersonal für die Gäste lästig ist, da jeder seinen eigenen Parfüm-Geschmack hat. Außerdem kollidiert das Parfüm des Services oft mit jenem der Gäste (was im Mediteranne Durlach der Fall war und somit die Mischung aus dem Terre d'Hermes meines Fuchses und des Bedienungsparfüms nur schwer auszuhalten war).
