First impression
Jessie: “Stylish, fits in perfectly with Frankfurt. I miss music with an Indian touch.”

service
Jörg: “Not fake. Attentive. Appetizer arrived in twelve minutes.”
Jessi: “Drinks, starters and main courses come at the perfect distance.”
taste
George: “Your Dr-Fu cocktail, super smoky-vanilla! Reminiscent of a noble perfume.”
Jessie: “The appetizer may not look like it, but every bite is a flavorful surprise. And the truffle naan – oh god! I want to eat it every day!”
George: “With the Garlic Naan, there could be more garlic on the flatbread. The Palak Paneer spinach is too colorless – more ginger, more spiciness!”
Jessie: “My tandoori chicken is a dance in my mouth! So much happens there! Good sharpness, the very sweet mint dip really tastes like mint, great!”
George: “I wouldn’t order the dessert again, Gulab Jamun, a sugary ball of semolina with vanilla ice cream.”
Jessie: “It tastes like Greek semolina cake with a hint of cardamom and gets better with every spoonful. I like it.”
The Bill please
Jessie: “118.50 euros together. It’s a lot, but logical for a special occasion and this location.”
George: “The drinks are 50 cents more expensive on the receipt than on the menu, that shouldn’t happen! I think it’s overpriced overall. Especially 8 euros for a scoop of ice cream with a semolina ball – no!”
Our tip
“Perfect for a special date. dim light. Treat yourself to the truffle naan.”
