African Pearl in Frankfurt am Main

I was there yesterday and shared a vegetarian platter. The food was super delicious, and with two large sour spritzers, it was a really fair price! Highly recommended for a lovely evening.

Delicious African Cuisine! Friendly service. Highly recommend!

Excellent food, service and ambient!

I could see that it was popular because it was visited by both African and non-African people.

Very tasty platter with a good selection of vegetarian dishes and friendly, attentive service.

A very authentic restaurant with attentive and very friendly service. Delicious dishes with injera. The perfect neighborhood spot – always happy to return!

There is only one thing to say... a completely clear recommendation... food prepared with lots of love and incredibly 😋 delicious... keep it up and I'll be happy to come back again and again.

The food was delicious and freshly prepared. I especially appreciated the friendly service, always with a smile. I felt very comfortable there and would gladly return.

We ate at the African Pearl today. It was delicious and the value for money was excellent! Highly recommended!

Great service and super delicious

The food is good but too little, too expensive. It has been better.

Best Eritrean and Ethiopian food in Frankfurt

Extremely tasty food, very friendly service

The African Pearl restaurant offers an inviting and warm atmosphere, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a meal. The decor is both cozy and beautiful, creating a relaxing ambiance that enhances the dining experience. The service is exceptional, with attentive staff who go above and beyond to ensure every guest feels welcomed. I wholeheartedly recommend the African Pearl restaurant to anyone looking for a delightful culinary experience.

Very friendly staff. Thank you very much! We'll be back 🫶.

I tried this place on the recommendation of my Ethiopian friend who said it tastes like home and reminds him of his grandma’s cooking. We shared the mixed meat platter and loved it. Everything was served on fresh and authentic injera, soft and full of flavor. The food was satisfying. The restaurant has a cozy and friendly atmosphere that really adds to the experience. It’s the kind of place where the vibe and the food work together to give you more than just a meal. The staff were kind and welcoming. If you're looking for a real taste of Ethiopian food in Frankfurt, this place is definitely worth a visit.

NeoTaste's 2 for 1 offer isn't honored, and instead of €30, €20 is offered as a compromise. Furthermore, the platter for two people is unfortunately ridiculous in terms of quantity, as it includes, among other things, ONE chicken leg for TWO people. I can only recommend staying away from the place; unfortunately, the price is completely out of line and a disgrace for truly good African cuisine.

Truly excellent Eritrean/Ethiopian food. The injera was very light and fluffy, and the lamb—unlike so often elsewhere—was of good quality. The yellow lentils weren't overcooked and had a good texture. I really enjoyed it; I definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine.

Friendly, humorous service, very good, authentic food

A small restaurant with friendly staff, very fair prices, and extremely good food. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Great shop, great food, and great service. I'm always happy to come back.

Super delicious food, we'll be back!

It looks unassuming from the outside, but it's very cozy inside. The food was very good. The staff was super friendly and helped us with our ordering. I would definitely recommend it!

A very nice restaurant with a unique ambiance and food. It's definitely worth a visit.

Super delicious food and a good vegetarian selection. Highly recommended.

Delicious and very friendly staff.

The food at this place was authentic and delicious. I would definitely recommend it. The lady serving was super friendly too, and it was very reasonably priced.

10 out of 10 Good authentic food and super friendly and courteous service

African Pearl offers authentic Eritrean cuisine and is conveniently located near a major bus stop, just a 5-minute walk from the Hahn Airport bus pickup. The cozy interiors and traditional African music create a charming atmosphere. We tried the hibiscus-flavored African soda—refreshing and unique. For starters, we had Katena, a soft, dosa-like bread served with chili sauce and butter—absolutely delicious. The main dish, Hànhchenkuele (Katena with chicken, egg, sauce, African spices, and salad), was flavorful and satisfying. The warm hospitality of the lady running the place made the experience even better. Highly recommended!

Food, service, ambience - fantastic!

Great restaurant, the food was delicious and the service was great as well. The atmosphere was calm and chill. I would recommend fully to people to try it out.

Super delicious! And such friendly people...

I can only give 5/5 stars for everything! Tasty and inexpensive and the service was super friendly ✨

A slightly different way of eating. ☺️ Without cutlery, you are presented with a slightly different cuisine. And if you like spicy food, this is the place for you. From the outside it doesn't look particularly inviting, and the furnishings also seem a bit strange at first. But the service was really nice and the food was served in style. It was really tasty and the price was completely right. I can only recommend it.

A dream! Great ambience, incredibly delicious food, very friendly staff.

The food is incredibly delicious. Was served traditionally and the taste, wonderful! You should definitely try the coffee ceremony afterwards 😊 an experience in itself 😊 it definitely wasn't for the last time 😊 The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is very familiar. The ambience is quite authentic. All in all 100 points 😊

It was close to the best meal I've ever had in my life. I can Highly recommend this place.

Wonderful East African food at very reasonable prices. Great setting in the restaurant. Menu is in English too.

I always enjoy coming there. I was there every time with someone else and everyone was happy. Delicious food, the service is not always the fastest but very warm. I can unreservedly recommend Kara Mara, my favorite dish On our last visit we had the mixed platter for four people: It was very tasty and had a little bit of everything

Super delicious food and great service. Unfortunately we don't go to Frankfurt that often. But we'll be back

We had a great evening. The food was very good and the coffee was simply fantastic!! Highly recommended, we will definitely go again.

This is one of the hidden gems of Frankfurt! So authentic and amazing service and food.

Cosy restaurant with very traditional decor. The food took too long like almost 30 minutes to come when it was only 5pm plus and restaurant only had very fee customers. The food tastes weird but this is not their fault since this is first time I encounter Ethiopian cuisine. For chinese who are used to Asian cuisine you have to temper your expectations before trying. Cost wise its also abit more expensive as there are only few pcs of meat but lots of beans veg and flour stuff. The passion fruit beer is nice though.

Very good cuisine and typical dishes. Very nice environment, excellent service, very kind owner. Advised

Food tastes good and that was a new experience for me.

A very attractive restaurant. The owner spoke to us at the door and we had a very nice conversation. Since it was still relatively early in the afternoon, we were the only guests. The food was very good. Everything was freshly prepared. If we are in Frankfurt again we will definitely stop here.

Cool shop Found it by chance and didn't regret it Good prices, friendly staff They try everything to please you if something doesn't fit

During the European Championship, our accommodation was towards the restaurant, so we thought we'd give it a try. We were not disappointed, everyone was very nice. The 3 of us ate a bowl for 4. The food was delicious, tasty, not too spicy. You had to eat with your hands, so it's worth preparing in advance. I can only recommend the place!

Great African restaurant, very tasty food and super-friendly service!

Spontaneously looking for an alternative to burgers and fries, I stopped here. Extremely friendly and fast service. Excellent food and large portion - immediately saved as a favorite!

Very tasty and great service! As a large group we were completely satisfied

Price-performance (or taste) simply unbeatable! We really enjoy coming here on a regular basis

During our stopover in Frankfurt towards Vienna, we were looking for something close to our hotel. Our choice fell on this restaurant. We certainly didn't regret it. Something different from what we were used to eating but surprisingly tasty. We opted for the African Pearl tibzi (the gourmet dish) for 2 and we enjoyed it. The house dessert is also recommended. I can definitely recommend this restaurant.

We tried this restaurant as the most of the Ethiopian places were not open on Monday. The food was tasty but the quantity was relatively less. We love Ethiopian food and that is why we have been to Ethiopian restaurants in many big and expensive cities including London. The best thing about Ethiopian food is the number of items that they serve with the injera. Almost all the places we have been to have served at least 6 items excluding the meat for similar price. This place had three lentil items and one green leafy veg, that too, very little in quantity. The meat items they served were very little too. They served us this meal after waiting for 50 minutes at the restaurant.

For me the best and most authentic Ethiopian restaurant in Frankfurt am Main. The food was great and definitely inexpensive.

Price performance absolutely excellent. The homemade mead is an unfiltered experience and comes to the table with a little surprise. In terms of price it is absolutely fair. And even though the portion may seem small at first, it is more than enough to fill you up. The two of us had the platter for two and couldn't finish it all. Service is super nice. You only have to draw attention to yourself to reorder drinks or pay, or if it's busy, go to the hedge. Overall, not a problem for me.

Yes, great food! Friendly staff, reasonable price, nice big plates to share if you're sitting at the table as a couple or in a group.

Top price-performance ratio. Very tasty food

Good food, great ambience. Very good!!!

Everything was very good perfect. Keep it up

Delicious food and very friendly, always happy 😉👌🏾

Were welcomed and served very nicely. The food came very quickly and was extremely tasty. Nice atmosphere to feel good. Will definitely come back.👍🏼😁

The only good thing tonight was my company! It was very cold in the restaurant. The food wasn't tasty and I still burp and taste it over and over again. Communicating with the waitress wasn't easy, and she didn't really show up, even though the restaurant was almost empty.

Great food at good prices. Great vegan selection!

A very nice restaurant, I'm thrilled

Really delicious and eating with your hands is something different.

Gran descubriendo....comida fantástica y trato genial...volveremos...recomendable como experiencia.

Sehr leckeres Essen, tolles Ambiente. Unbedingt mal ausprobieren!

Sehr leckere Essen und sehr freundliche Personal.

ein wirklich gutes Essen, frisch zubereitet und eine Empfehlung. Das Dessert sollte man nicht ignorieren

It's a good thing when you place your order and the waiter ask "you're sure you want that?" It's a sign that they are unapologetic about their food, making it the traditional way, not catering to tourists or locals. Ordered the gored gored and it was delicious, only feedback would be that the cubes of beef could be a bit smaller to be more bite sized. It was nice and spicy with buttery flavor. The bread was soft and spongy, washed it down with some of the Mango beer in a calabash. Great meal.

Leckeres Essen und Familien freundlich... man sollte sich nur auf etwas Wartezeit einstellen (sonntags abends). Dafür kommt das Essen frisch und man kann es sich auf der Zunge zergehen lassen 🤤.

Es war ein hervorragendes Essen und Nachttisch war Seher kreativ sehr lecker

Very friendly staff with food recommendations! Looking forward visiting again. Thank you very much

Absolutely delicious smell when going in, so ny expectations were high, and the food ended up being even better. I also recommend the Maracuja beer if you like Maracuja in general

Eines der besten eritreischen Restaurants in Frankfurt, ich komme immer wieder sehr gerne hier her!

たまたま入った店ですが、アフリカ料理も美味しく、ドイツビールの種類も十分で、当たりでした。 店員も気さくで楽しいひとときを過ごしました。 おなかすいてなかったので、ビールとアペタイザーです。 ビールは4ユーロ/500mlの銘柄が多かったです。

Nous avons passé une excellente soirée entre amis dans ce restaurant ! La nourriture est délicieuse, tout comme le honey wine. Les serveurs étaient souriants et sympathiques ; nous reviendrons avec plaisir !

Cucina della Ethiopië / africano. Una bellissima esperienza, la persona che serve molto gentile e di aiuto nella scelta dei piatti. Sicuramente torno qua a assaggiare altri piatti 👍👍

Loved it! The service and the food was amazing and authentic :) Thank you for the nice experience and see you soon!

Ethiopian food is one of my favorites. No surprise I would like it here. But what an amazing service. They just made my day, super friendly, helping and supportive. Definitely take a look when you are in Frankfurt.

Super freundlichler Service! Komme gerne wieder. Sehr gutes Essen für einen überaus fairen Preis =)

Wir waren begeistert von Service, Ambiente und natürlich vom Geschmack des Gerichtes. Schade, dass wir nicht in Frankfurt leben sonst wären wir öfters dort zu Gast

Service was second to none, a must experience for delicious food and great service in a beautiful authentic surrounding! We arrived late for supper after a longhaul flight and were greeted with open arms. Can highly recommend and will make sure to visit again. Thank you for this great evening at your premises!

We loved our experience here! Hostesses were nice and attentive. Eating with our hands was a unique experience and meat was spicy and delicious 🙂

Mein Lieblingsrestaurant!! ❤️ Bedienung immer aufmerksam und Nett, Essen immer ein Traum 🫶🏽 Definitiv 5 ⭐️ Wert!!

Sehr lecker und freundlich. Komme wieder.

Sehr lecker, schönes Ambiente. Wenn man draußen sitzt ist der Service nicht so top wie drinnen, alles in allem sind wir aber sehr happy.

Wir haben die gemischte Platte für 4 Personen bestellt. Es war für so eine Menge schnell da. Es war auf jeden Fall lecker und man wird mit Sicherheit nachher satt 😄 Personal war auch freundlich und nett. Was nicht so gut war, war der Tisch etwas klebrig und es könnte in meiner Meinung etwas heller sein. Aber gerne wieder 👍

Uneingeschränkte Empfehlung! Mit einer kleinen Gruppe (4) wollten wir mal wieder gut und gemütlich essen - diesmal fiel die Wahl auf das African Pearl. Bislang war es mir im Vorbeigehen aufgefallen, so dass es auf der To Try Liste gelandet war. Und es hat sich gelohnt. Wir wurden sehr freundlich begrüßt und durch den Abend begleitet, das Essen war sehr lecker und das DjuDju Fruchtbier war Sorte für Sorte eine tolle Entdeckung. Wir hatten diverse Vorspeisen, die vegetarische Platte, eine Platte mit Fleisch und den Nachtisch. Fazit: Zentral gelegen, sehr freundlicher Service, schöner Laden, leckeres Essen und das Maracuja-Fruchtbier - es wird sicher nicht der letzte Besuch gewesen sein.

Vielen Dank für das erste afrikanische Essen das wir probiert haben. Super lecker, sehr nettes Personal! Absolut zu Empfehlen.

A unique experience with great food. Warm atmosphere. Intriguing interior. Would like to visit again if in Frankfurt.

The food is awesome! Truly impressive, we will definitely be back.
