African Violet in Frankfurt am Main

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the African Violet restaurant in Frankfurt and I can safely say that it is a truly remarkable place that not only delights with delicious food but also with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. As soon as you enter the African Violet, you are greeted by an authentic African design that offers a harmonious mix of traditional flair and modern comfort. The walls are decorated with vibrant colors and artistic wall hangings that fill the room with a cheerful yet relaxed mood. It feels like immersing yourself in a piece of Africa - a place where culture and hospitality go hand in hand. I would particularly like to highlight the fufu that I ordered. This traditional African dish was not only perfectly prepared, but also a real taste explosion. The consistency was wonderful and it combined perfectly with the various sauces and side dishes. I absolutely loved the combination of flavors and the attention to detail that went into the dishes. You can tell right away that they cook with passion here and I can't wait to come back to try out more specialties. The hospitality of the staff is another highlight of my visit. From the moment we walked in the door we were warmly welcomed. The staff were always friendly, courteous and tried extremely hard to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Time was taken to introduce us to the various dishes and make recommendations that further increased our culinary enjoyment. This personal touch and authentic hospitality contribute significantly to the positive atmosphere of the restaurant. In summary, the African Violet in Frankfurt is not only an excellent restaurant, but also a place where you feel at home. The combination of delicious cuisine, especially the great fufu, the warm hospitality of the staff and the inviting African ambience makes the visit an unforgettable experience. I can only warmly recommend it and look forward to my next visit!

The fufu was super delicious 😍 will definitely come back!

We went to this restaurant with an open mind to finally try fufu :-) We were extremely positively surprised as soon as we entered the restaurant. The interior décor overwhelmed us; we immediately felt comfortable and in another part of the world. The service was excellent and we didn't miss anything. When the food was served (we had the mixed starter platter and two main courses each, with fufu of course), everything that was on the plates was explained really well. Then the first bite of Sambusa with lentils and the evening could begin. We've eaten African food before but this restaurant really impressed us. Absolute recommendation because the price/performance ratio is also really good. We will definitely come back because there are still so many dishes to try (all homemade and fresh, by the way). As a little tip: make a reservation one or two days in advance, it is very busy.

A really great African restaurant! The service is pleasantly reserved and always attentive, so that you feel completely comfortable. I can particularly recommend the mixed platters, which taste excellent both as a starter and as a main course. There is a nice selection of vegetarian options, but the quality of meat is also top. I would particularly like to highlight the white wine, which goes perfectly with the food and rounds off the evening wonderfully. If you are looking for an authentic culinary experience, you should definitely stop by here. Recommended 101%!

Delicious food and friendly staff :)

VAT is not included in the price. This reference that you also have to pay VAT. You don't have to pay on the menu or anywhere else in the restaurant. A violation of the VAT law. Disappointment because the food was really great, but in the end I had to pay €81 instead of €65. Too bad!

I was finally able to eat fufu, I really wanted it and was pleasantly surprised, it was just so delicious 🤤, I'll 100% be back

My best friend and I really wanted to try fufu and then came across this restaurant. The food was really great! The service was also great, as was the ambience. We have been there several times since then and have not been disappointed once. Can only be recommended!!

Tried African for the first time. Unfortunately, the food was nothing special and everything was very spicy. Not for everyone, unfortunately

Have ordered, so can't say anything about the service and ambience. It was delicious, fresh, plentiful and delivered quickly. Absolute recommendation!

Delicious and different, coffee ceremony mega! I can only recommend it.

Very nicely decorated restaurant with very tasty food. The fufu in particular was very good. Service extremely courteous

Very interesting experience - African cuisine was a special experience and amazingly delicious. The staff is super nice, the decor gives a good impression of Africa. We sat outside - of course Frankfurt catches up with you 😉

Very good restaurant. If you want to eat here, you should bring your time. It took quite a long time until we got our food. But it was really tasty and the portion size was really good. There were four of us and we ordered a starter platter for 2 and the main course for 4 people. But we're far from making it. I can only recommend the restaurant

Tolles Essen, schöne Location, Preis-Leistung passt. Service könnte ein bisschen aufmerksamer sein, ist aber sehr freundlich. Empfehlung!

I grew up with an Ethiopian nanny who made me injera nearly every day for 15 years, and she sadly passed away 10 years ago. I came here to have injera for the first time in over 10 years and it was an incredibly emotional experience. Truly amazing food, the injera is outstanding, and the wine is great as well. Ephrem and his family run a great restaurant and now that I live here I’ll be a loyal customer!

Just amazing! Tried Fufu for the first time and enjoyed it a lot!

The place is good, with outdoor and indoor seating

We got the meat starter and fufu with chicken for the main course. The food was delicious and the staff was also super friendly. It's a nice quiet area and there was seating inside and outside.

The friendly atmosphere and the warm welcome made us immediately feel at home. The waiters were exceptionally nice and patiently explained to us how to properly enjoy the various dishes. The dishes themselves were incredibly tasty and offered an impressive variety of flavors. A particular highlight was when I forgot my glasses in the restaurant and one of the waiters ran after me to bring them to me. Thank you again! We look forward to coming back soon.

Good food, good service. Always my pleasure!

We really liked it, everything was delicious, the service was courteous and the prices were moderate. We'll definitely be back soon.

Great service, the food is absolutely delicious and the atmosphere is very welcoming.

The restaurant and food quality is consistently outstanding, exceeding my expectations every time. Pleasant place & Friendly Staff. Clean & Efficient. I highly recommend this business.

Very tasty, especially the vegetarian starters and main courses!

Super tasty authentic experience. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating! Any time.

Great service. Great food. Again and again.

Food and service top! Can just be recommended! Especially the fufu was very, very tasty!

Fufu with chicken is highly recommended

Just wow. From Fofu to the skyline…

We were there to meet and have Christmas dinner. The table was lovingly designed, the service was very attentive and the food was really delicious. I recommend the braised chicken. To top it all off, there was the coffee ceremony with incense.

Very friendly service and authentic cuisine!

Highly Recommended! Very tasty, great atmosphere and very friendly. We felt very comfortable. Thank you

Incredibly delicious fufu, very family atmosphere. A real recommendation from the heart!

Very nice and friendly employees. The food was well prepared, tasted good, but relatively spicy. However, it is a dining experience that is definitely recommended.

Super nice staff, the food is just perfect and recommended if you haven't eaten FiFu yet ❤️

Had an African meal for the first time, just loved it and we'll definitely be back! From the ambience, service to the food, everything was TOP! Definitely a recommendation!

Everything is delicious!! There are a lot of different flavours to try. We would recommend the fufu and the dju dju beer. The only negative point was the time that we had to wait but it is worth it.

Very tasty food and very good, absolutely nice service! Gladly again

Very tasty food, nice service & nice ambience. I will gladly come again!

Very nicely decorated and very tasty food.

Great food and friendly service

Very friendly staff. Food was very, very tasty and highly recommended!

Für jeden der nach etwas sucht, dass man nicht an jeder Ecke findet ist das hier eine Goldgrube. Wir waren für ca. 3 Stunden da und haben jeden Moment und jedes essen voll genossen.

Great food, very friendly team and a wonderful interior. Real recommendation.

The first thing I noticed was that I didn't have any cutlery🤣 African food is eaten with your finger😉 A very friendly welcome, despite not having a reservation we were lucky and got a table. We chose a mixed platter and fufu with beef. An interesting taste experience. The service was very good, the waiter was attentive. The atmosphere is modern and typical of the country. We really enjoyed it and will definitely check it out again. Thank you for the lovely evening.

It was a very nice visit and therefore a nice lunch. The service was very nice and explained a few things about the menu and the food to us laypeople. The appetizer platter was very good and is definitely recommended. The atmosphere was very cozy and you felt comfortable. If you want to try something new, this is definitely the right place for you!

I really enjoy being your guest. Good food and friendly service.

I had the fufu with chicken and peanut sauce [not spicy], it was very tasty and definitely recommended

It was my first time there and the food was very tasty 😋 I'll definitely come back and eat something again.

I have to start by saying that it was my first time eating African food, although in Africa, like in Europe, local food varies. The visit here that there is no cutlery for eating. Everything is eaten with your fingers. The only thing that helps is relatively soft flatbreads that are torn into pieces to hold the food, which in our menu consisted mainly of puree and mushy substances. It tasted very good though. They were very friendly and provided cutlery if necessary. It was an interesting African excursion, but one I certainly won't repeat every week. For dessert there was baked banana rolled out as dough balls, which were also very tasty.

Delicious ! It is definitely worth it !

The atmosphere and decoration are awesome. The service is very friendly and quick. Only recommended!

Very good shop and great service. The food was outstanding!

Very great restaurant, friendly staff, great food and a great price 👍🏼 highly recommended

Very nice people, very tasty food, very nice atmosphere. We eat there regularly 💯

Food looks great but the taste is not up to the appearance

The mix of appetizers was very tasty, then we got the vegetable and meat main dish with the injera bread and I have to say it was too spicy and that unfortunately covered the taste of food. The service is super attentive and friendly as well. I will come back for trying different dishes.

African Violet is a really great African restaurant. The atmosphere and service were exemplary. We had an appetizer platter and an African Violet special platter. The quality of the food was simply great and the platters made it easy to try out various dishes. I can only recommend the restaurant. We'll definitely come back.

The food is incredibly tasty and you feel really good.

The food was amazing. The service was very friendly. Nice atmosphere but I would have liked to have some nice African music in the background.

Really delicious food, nice selection - also for vegetarians/vegans and the service was great too! Very nice staff! I'm already looking forward to the next time!

Ordered something through Uber Eats today and it was the worst African food I've had so far. I never give just one star, but the food only consisted of oil and smelled and tasted slightly burnt.

I found the ambience and food good. Had a vegetarian plate, next time I want to try fufu. Unfortunately, I found the service really still needs improvement. The gentlemen were really nice, but not that attentive. So nobody came by themselves and asked if you wanted something more to drink. And out of our order (4 people) something was delivered wrong 3 times. Please be sure to listen better when taking your order. The store wasn't that full when we were there. So all in all very good, with a little criticism 🙂

Relaxed atmosphere, friendly welcome. Very tasty food. I liked the coffee ceremony.

Immer wieder lecker schmecker =)

Super tasty food for a fair price and very nice staff!! We were thrilled!

Very tasty food, it takes a while but it's worth it ☺️

Super Restaurant. Wir sind durch Zufall vorbeigekommen und unsere Erwartungen wurden übertroffen. Sehr leckerer Mix Teller, mit verschiedenen Äthiopischen Speisen. Die Servicekraft war auch sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Gerne wieder!

food is decent, a bit pricey, and dont order the fufu and eat it with your fingers if you have acrylic nails that are white!! mine changed colors and changed to a ugly yellow that is impossible to wash off after eating it

Wir hatten einen tollen Abend. Das Essen ist eine glatte 1, sehr große Mengen zu super fairen Preisen. Vorallem die Vorspeisenplatte war genial. Die Bedienung immer sofort zur Stelle, zudem extrem freundlich und zuvorkommend. Am Nachbartisch waren einige Einheimische dort essen, was immer ein gutes Zeichen ist. Kommen gerne wieder!

Bombastisch. Hab noch nie so eine geschmacksexplosion durchlebt wie dort. Der Mann war sehr nett und hat auch gefragt ob alles schmeckt und so. Mussten bissln warten auf das Essen aber hat sich gelohnt. Kostet aber egal. Von Innen ist es sehr schön gestaltet

Schreibe echt selten Rezensionen aber das ist ein Muss. Sind extra aus Mannheim hier hin gefahren und haben es auch definitiv nicht bereut!!!😍 Hatten Fufu mit Rindfleisch und Hähnchen und es war unglaublich, würden definitiv so oft es geht wieder hier her kommen. Wir sind jetzt 2 Tage hintereinander hier hin zum Essen gekommen wäre es doch nicht so weit weg von Mannheim wäre ich hier jeden Tag. Die Mitarbeiter, das Ambiente und das wichtigste das Essen ist Bombe. Ihr werdet es nicht bereuen. 🥰

Wir sind extra aus Mainz gekommen und haben es nicht bereut! Unglaublich leckeres Essen vorallem Fufu war sehr sehr lecker Immer wieder gerne !

Schönes kleines Restaurant. Ambiente ist typisch afrikanisch, sehr farbenfroh. Wer gerne scharf isst, ist dort richtig. Personal ist freundlich und aufmerksam.

Super leckeres Essen und sehr freundlicher Service! Es gibt auch eine tolle Auswahl an veganen Speisen

It takes a while for the food to be ready, but it's worth it, trust me, it was amazing!! It was clean, and the people working there are very kind people. Thanks for having us 😊💚💛❤️

Sehr lecker, lohnt sich aufjedenfall, tolle Bedienung und Auswahl, auch vegan!

Freundliches Personal, leckeres Essen und der Honigwein war echt lecker. Schmeckte irgendwie leichter und frischer als der Met, den man sonst auf Mittelaltermärkten finden würde.

Ohne Reservierung bekamen wir einen Tisch. Wir hatten Glück! Vom herzlichen Empfang, vom wunderbaren Essen und von dem aufmerksamen Service waren wir begeistert! Trotz sehr vieler Arbeit hatte das Personal immer ein Lächeln im Gesicht und nichts brachte sie aus der Ruhe! Schön dass euch gibt!

Essen war sehr lecker,Service super nett und zuvorkommend Kommen gerne wieder☺️

+ Support for multiple languages (English, German) + friendly staff but no one attended and guided us but after order, food was delivered fast + Freshly prepared food with typical eastern African touch + African food with good taste + well cooked food but its relative and depends on personal preferences + Well priced + Offers options for multiple payments + Halal Food available + Clean and typical African ambiance - Limited parking places - No one was there to guide through menu and selecting menu - Limited staff to attend customers which leads to long wait time to order - wash rooms were not clean

öfters dort bestellt, alle Gerichte sehr lecker

It was so good ! And an amazing service !!! VISIT !!! It’s just soooo goood nothing else to say the ambience is nice ❤️ perfect for a date

Приветливый персонал, все вкусно, но к сожалению, 2/5 блюда было острое для меня, хотя официант сказал, что не остро.

Bin begeistert! Wir hatten erstklassige Gerichte mit Injera und Fufu. Ersteres hatte ich schon in anderen Restaurants, aber hier fand ich es spannender gewürzt und insgesamt besser. Die Bedienung ist sympathisch und das Lokal außerordentlich schön eingerichtet. So farbenfroh und liebevoll gibt es nicht oft.

Überragendes Essen. Kurz vor unserem Flug nach Bali waren wir Fufu essen. Sehr sehr lecker!

Sehr authentischer Laden mit sehr sympathischem Service! Essen war sehr gut. Preise sind Verhältnismäßig teuer, aber man wird nicht enttäuscht. Und satt wird man allemal! Ambiente ist einladend und gemütlich. Ich werde definitiv nochmal kommen.

Great restaurant, amazing food and super friendly stuff ! Well recommended!

Sehr schönes authentisches Restaurant mit freundlichen personal. Das Essen war schbell fertig und der Service fantastisch! Vielen Dank ❤️

Essen war super lecker, der Service ging schnell und sehr freundlich und Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis war auch top! Wir hatten eine African-Violet Spezial Platte für zwei und nachdem wir das erste Mal in diesem Restaurant waren sowie kulinarisch in dieser Richtung auch noch gar keine Erfahrung hatten haben wir noch eine super Einführung und Erklärung zu allem bekommen. Tolles Essen und ein tolles Erlebnis! :)

Sehr lecker und authentisch. Personal total freundlich. Der Hausgemachte Kaffee-Schnaps ist sehr zu empfehlen 😁

Wir haben hier Fufu gegessen und ich empfehle jedem dieses Restaurant der mal Fufu probieren will. Es schmeckt wirklich sehr lecker und das Ambiente ist toll.

Das äthiopische Essen ist sehr authentisch und wirklich gut, wir kommen hier gerne hin. Die Leute sind auch wirklich herzlich, das macht den Besuch natürlich noch viel besser. Vielen Dank und bis zum nächsten Mal!

Mega lecker. Hatten Fufu mit Erdnusssosse und Tschakalaka mit Injera und es war Bombeee Auf jeden Fall nochmal :)

Unglaublich leckeres Essen und der Service war auch sehr nett! Wir mussten nur leider fast eine Stunde aufs Essen warten, daher nur die 4 Sterne

Hervorragende Küche und sehr netter Service. Die Linsensuppe ist ein Traum. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Gerne wieder!

Das Essen war gut allerdings stimmt das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis nicht. Ich hatte die gemischte ( vegetarisch + Fleisch) Platte und es hat mit Injera ( glutenfreier Brot) 23 eur gekostet. Es gab kaum Fleischstücke in der Sauce. Es ist gut mal was anderes auszuprobieren aber ich muss nicht unbedingt nochmal hin.

Top Essen, die Vorspeisenplatte war bereits super vielfältig und hatte sehr viele sehr leckere Geschmacksnuancen, der Hauptgang stand dem in Nichts nach und der Honigwein war extrem lecker, 5/5
