Delicious kebab, super pleasant and friendly Erkan Kasap

First of all: it was absolutely delicious at Heimatjuwel! This (not entirely strict) vegetarian restaurant in Eimsbüttel serves regional, wonderfully creative, and delicately crafted dishes. The menu is quite simple: there's a 5-course menu (€89) and an upgrade to six courses (€109). One of the two upgrades includes regional beef. A wine pairing (€51/€61) can be ordered with the menu. It started off brilliantly with homemade, very crusty sourdough bread and a bright green, extremely tasty kale butter. The three-part amuse-bouche consisted of a lentil and celery soup and two tartlets with pear balls and pickled red onions. A feast for the eyes! The actual menu began with a beautifully decorated swede mousse with beer vinegar and shiso. It's amazing what you can get out of such a boring-looking turnip with the creativity of the Heimatjuwel kitchen! Speaking of creativity: it was also involved in the organic egg yolk with crispy cereal flakes. A very tasty starter. We continued with a potato with roasted vegetables and two sauces. What can I say? Another poem! The main course would do any Michelin-starred restaurant proud: Pizza Funghi in "Heimatjuwel style." It's quite difficult to describe, so please take a look at the photo and try it for yourself :-) At this point, the kitchen added another "greeting." As a starter, a cheesecake espuma with cranberry mousse and crumbles arrived, delighting us even more. For dessert, I swapped the originally planned tonka bean for the highly recommended upgrade "Hamburger Kapitänskäse" with red cabbage and black walnut. Very creamy and wonderfully flavorful. Finally, beautifully arranged "sweets" were brought to the table. Vanilla, spruce shoots, and pickled cherries were included. The wine selection was very imaginative and apt. The service was unobtrusively friendly and very competent. The interior, crafted by a carpenter, was tastefully chosen and perfectly in keeping with the style of the house. Definitely worth trying!

Very good restaurant to have a really good meal in Hamburg after 10 p.m. Perfect after the concert. Great wine list!

One of my favourite restaurants in Hamburg!

Awesome atmosphere and the service is very attentive, "Flammkuchen" was okay but also underwhemling, go for their seasonal specials to get a true sense of what the kitchen has to offer.
