Croque Palast in Hamburg

After the completely overwhelmed waiter ignored us inside for about 30 minutes, and the dishes from the previous diners were still there, we decided to order something outside at the counter due to acute hunger. There were five gossipy people standing in the kitchen, and it seemed like none of them had anything to do except gossip. We were then reluctantly "served." An extremely grumpy employee first took my friend's order, prepared it, and asked her if she didn't want "sour cream" on her country potatoes. After asking three times and receiving even more obnoxious answers, I realized that the employee in question might mean "sour cream." Then she wanted to take the payment, and I said I'd like a currywurst. After a long sigh, she reluctantly prepared it and took the money. Conclusion: If you can't do anything else, don't go to this restaurant. The staff is absolutely unfriendly, overwhelmed, and poorly selected!

Currywurst with cold Heinz ketchup from the bottle, potato soup from the Erasco can! warmed up, just bad and for these prices!

Unfortunately, my visit to the Makalai Lodge at the Hamburg Tropical Aquarium was a real disappointment. The currywurst with fries was a culinary disaster: the sausage tasted bland and somehow stale, the sauce seemed to have been carelessly poured out of a can and had about as much in common with a good curry sauce as a goldfish does with a gourmet restaurant. The fries were soggy, greasy, and had clearly been exposed to the humidity of the tropical greenhouse for quite some time. For the price charged, I would have at least expected the food to be edible – unfortunately, it barely was. The value for money is absolutely terrible: you pay premium prices and get fast-food quality at a poor cafeteria level. It's a shame, because the setting is actually quite interesting, but the food severely detracts from the experience. I definitely wouldn't eat here again and unfortunately can't recommend it to anyone.

The doner kebab is okay, but it could be better. The service is friendly and the atmosphere is perfectly fine for a doner kebab shop.

It took about 30 minutes to get my coffee here. It took forever before I could even order, and then it took even longer. On top of that, the service was incredibly unfriendly. Thanks for this ridiculously expensive coffee in this cold and noisy atmosphere.
