Our first night in Germany, we were looking for a place to have a hot bite to eat on a cold night…read more We thought this place looked inviting, reasonably priced, and an informal place. There seemed to be several customers eating here, so we decided to give it a try.
The proprietor did not speak English, but we managed to place our order by pointing and gesturing. He was friendly and willing to work with us. This was not a very large place, and the people inside seemed to be locals, who were not necessarily dining there, but watching some sports on TV and enjoying some camaraderie and beer. There was only one small table left where my husband and I could sit.
My husband enjoyed his bowl of lentil soup. He said that it was spiced well. I ordered a Doner sandwich, which was somewhat new to us. We have had Greek gyros before, filled with shawarma meat....but this meat was spiced somewhat differently, and more mild-tasting. The cook filled a roll with the sliced meat, vegetables, and a creamy sauce....more like a thousand island than a Greek tsaziki. It was very good and interesting. I ate my fill of the sandwich, and my husband finished it off. My husband ordered a bottled beer, which he declared very good.
I would say that the only thing that were negatives is that my husband actually wanted another soup on the menu, but it was not available and that I felt just a little uncomfortable being the only woman in the place and all of the men just hanging out there. I did not consider this in my rating, because I feel that it may have been a cultural difference, but worth mentioning for others. This was definitely an informal place, but suited our needs at the time.
