Im Herzen Afrikas in Frankfurt am Main

Wir wollten gerne mal wieder afrikanisch essen. Gemütlicher Laden mit netter Bedienung; ziemlich voll und eventuell nicht perfekt organisiert; hat uns aber nicht gestört. Besonderes Essen zu fairen Preisen.

Super tasty and authentic food! Service is great and everyone is super friendly and accommodating!

Very tasty 😋 Always happy to go there for dinner

We've eaten there a few times now and both the food, the staff and the atmosphere are an absolute 10/10 We've only had really good experiences so far and we're always looking forward to coming back, which is why we're always happy to make the journey from Darmstadt to Frankfurt. The price is also absolutely fair and all in all a really great restaurant Big recommendation 🥰

We were thrilled by this extraordinary restaurant in the heart of Frankfurt. The great and warm service staff and the cozy atmosphere in particular make a stay here a special experience. The food was very tasty and a wonderful change from the monotony often served elsewhere.

Very cozy and authentically furnished. Super great service, I haven't experienced such friendly service in a long time. The food and drinks were super tasty. Unfortunately, there was a lot of mixed platter and we didn't manage to eat everything because the bread was so filling.

What can you say - just great. You are warmly welcomed, the food is simply an experience in itself, you can see and taste that it is homemade and it tasted phenomenal! The service staff were just great, explained everything very nicely and there was a nice mix of attentive service and a bit of small talk, which really rounded off the experience. Big compliment to the team. The prices are also unbeatable, especially for this area! It's rare to find such great food and service of this kind for this price. The mixed platter doesn't get boring either because you can always order new combinations. We were here again for the second time and felt very comfortable with you, thank you very much 🥰

The food was very tasty, but by gluten-free injera I mean...injera made from pure teff flour and not corn tortilla-like flatbreads. ;) It was also a little bit. Maybe an idea to make the injera from Treffflour gluten-free, like others do. Service was very nice and relaxed. In the end we would have liked to order something else, but unfortunately we sat with empty glasses for 10 minutes and then decided to pay. Ambience is very nice.

We had a very nice evening here with delicious food and new impressions. Very special thanks to the great service. You were great. 👍

A really exciting experience with very friendly service!

I've been there several times now and can really recommend it! The atmosphere is beautiful and the staff are super friendly and always in a good mood. The food is a 10/10. ⭐️

Bei mir gehört es mittlerweile schon zu einer guten Tradition, bei meinen jährlichen geschäftlichen Besuch in Frankfurt mindestens einmal im Herzen Afrikas zu essen. Ein total entspannter Laden, total netter, persönliche und natürlicher Service und fantastisches Essen. Dazu schöne, ausgewählte zum Teil afrikanische Biere und Roséwein. Wirklich ein absolutes Erlebnis, kann man sogar alleine ganz nett machen, in Gesellschaft jedoch viel schöner. Top Empfehlung!

Celebrated a birthday in the heart of Africa today. We felt very comfortable, ate deliciously and had a really nice evening. To celebrate the day there was a shot on the house. Thank you for the nice evening and the service ☺️. We'd love to come back! Grüzzääää

If you come to Frankfurt please don't missed this restaurant. I been all around the globe and this place was amazing. I have a share plate each item taste different to the other I wish I come back soon .

Unfortunately it was too spicy for me but the staff was super friendly

The restaurant offers great food, including vegan options, in cozy and truly special seating areas

I'm not into the ambience at all, but that's my personal taste. What is certain is that the staff is very friendly, the service is quick and the food is reasonably priced

Very friendly and competent service. Super tasty food with a very good price-performance ratio. The atmosphere is really extremely nice and cozy. Gladly again and again.

Cozy and unusual atmosphere. Good presentation of food. One serving, as in the photo, is enough for two. Delicious cocktails🍸

I'm sorry, but I don't really understand the hype. It's all about the food here, because everything else was great. Great service, great atmosphere. But the price of the food wasn't really cheap, but it wasn't much either. Eating the whole thing with your fingers wasn't easy either because of the extremely soft bread. Everyone has to know for themselves, but it wasn't for us. The seasoning wasn't that unusual either. Thanks anyway for the great service.

It was just great! The food and the atmosphere were very special. We ordered a mixed platter with meat and vegetarian dishes. Everything is made with love and you can tell that straight away. We thank you very much for the experience and will definitely come back.

In the heart of Africa – unique ambience and interesting culinary experience Four of us went to the restaurant “In the Heart of Africa” in Frankfurt and ate in the tree house – a truly unique and impressive experience. The ambience was outstanding, especially the tree house in the middle of the restaurant is very special. I have rarely experienced something like this. The restaurant is very centrally located near the main train station and is easily accessible by public transport. You can usually find a parking space by car, but it's not easy - Frankfurt city center is often a challenge for drivers. The service was excellent. The staff was very friendly, greeted us straight away and explained the concept of the restaurant. You immediately notice that the restaurant is much more than just a place to eat - it almost has the feel of a theme park. We ordered a large platter for four people, emphasizing the African concept of sharing a meal. However, this requires one to agree to eat from a large plate - a culturally different experience. Personally, it wasn't really my thing as I prefer to eat from my own plate and choose my own dishes. The taste of the food was good, but a bit strange for my taste. I found it missing certain flavors and I'm not sure it completely satisfied me from a culinary point of view. Overall, I give the restaurant a 4 out of 5 stars. The ambience and service were very good, but I wasn't completely impressed by the food. Nevertheless, it is definitely a special experience that you should have. Rating: 4/5 stars

Delicious dishes, beautiful décoration but the most important are the people : so kind. 6 stars.

Everything was perfect, from the staff, ambience and food.

Super friendly staff, large portions (we had a mixed platter for two people) and super tasty. If you love well-seasoned cuisine, this is the right place for you.

Die Location ist wunderschön und besonders. So eine Einrichtung habe ich noch nie gesehen und habe mich extrem wohl gefühlt. Die Bedienung ist sehr sehr nett, zuvorkommend und herzlich. Nur das Essen fand ich tatsächlich nicht besonders und hatte ziemlich wenig Geschmack. Ich bin des Öfteren eritreisch Essen und kannte das schon deutlich besser. Würde daher wohl nicht wiederkommen.

I had an unforgettable experience eating at this place, exquisite Eritrean food. It was a first for me and I’d definitely love to go back there when in Frankfurt again 😋

You eat with your hands. The choice is simple. It tasted good. The urinals are unique.

Went there spontaneously at the weekend for dinner with 4 people without a reservation. Since we didn't have a reservation and there was an event (TramEM) nearby, we actually assumed that we wouldn't get a seat. But the employees were super friendly and managed to get us to use a table for an hour and a half. The waitresses were all very friendly and attentive. All tables were served quickly and friendly. Drinks and food came very quickly and the food was simply fantastic. Fresh, tasty, smelled very good and tasted even better, very aromatic. Always happy to come back

Very friendly staff, great atmosphere and super delicious food

Greatly furnished location, suitable tables for every small or larger group of people, very tasty and typical Ethiopian food, attentive service. Highly recommended.

Food was phenomenal! I had the mixed platter with a little bit of everything! Atmosphere is super nice too (decoration, music, etc.) Highly recommend and will definitely come back!

Always nice with you. Great food Nice ambience And super nice service. Keep it up 😃

It was my first x African, I loved it!

Incredibly brilliant location. The food is varied and delicious, the staff is very nice and attentive. The visit left us with a lasting positive impression.

Everything was great, delicious drinks and the banana cream is a poem ♥️Keller was very friendly and quick.

A real gem! The African Restaurant In the Heart of Africa offers an impressive culinary journey. The dishes are perfectly seasoned, full of flavors and authentically prepared. The service is warm and attentive, which makes the experience perfect all around. For lovers of real African cuisine, this restaurant is a must. Absolutely deserved 5 stars!

Very good Ethiopian food, also vegetarian. The service was very friendly. It was a bit too warm for us in the restaurant.

You can do it ;) Super tasty, super friendly.

We were totally thrilled! The food was super delicious, we were even told how to eat it :) The staff was really extremely friendly and accommodating! The interior design is a dream 😍 the iced tea drinks were also the perfect refreshment! 11/10 Restaurant 🫶🏻

We arrived on saturday night and they had a place for us while we didn't made a reservation. The inside scenery was beautiful and very cool. When we wanted to chance our table to outside, they made it possible without a problem. The staff was really kind and helpful. They changed in a instant to English. Wich they spoke very well. The food was done in no time, and was DELICIOUS! We really loved it, there was so much flavour and a good amount of variation in the vegetarian platter.

Bring friends to share the lovely food here

Are you interested in African? Then you've come to the right place in the heart of Africa. Super tasty food with meat & vegan options - spicy & not spicy. We ordered the mixed platter for 4 people and were able to choose 7 from 8 dishes. We had a colorful mix of beef & chicken and vegan options (chickpeas, spinach, potatoes…). The food was delicious (including the flatbread) and we were more than full! Eating is done by hand. There is a sink for washing hands independent of the toilets in the restaurant. Depending on where you sit, there is also the option of sitting in the sand. The restaurant definitely deserves 5 stars and is recommended. Reservations are absolutely necessary!

Excellent quality and price. Very attentive and friendly staff. Totally recommended!

Pure love! 💚 and also the best hummus 😍💚

Amazing place. If you want to try something truly different that's the place to go. The food was very tasty. The staff is friendly and very accommodating, they speak English. Prices are not too high. Tables can be reserved directly from their official website.

Very good service, delicious food.

Super friendly, great location, super tasty! ;)

Something different :-) Very nice atmosphere, friendly service and delicious food. There were 4 of us girls and we shared the hummus then took the mixed platter for 4 people. So we were able to try 7 out of 8 dishes. Unfortunately we didn't have any for dessert “Space” more. ;-) It is definitely necessary to make a reservation. The restaurant "In the heart of Africa" ​​is worth a visit. :-)

Cozy atmosphere, very tasty food. Be sure to try their honey wine and banana dessert. The staff speaks excellent English. Large selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes. We'll definitely come back again

Delicious. Lots of vegan selection. The best hummus I've ever had.

Very inconspicuous from the outside, but absolutely awesome from the inside! I will definitely come back on my next trip to Frankfurt

Beautiful ambience, wholesome & yum food.

Service was very good. Unfortunately the lemonades weren't that good.

Pro tip: don't book the cozy corner because it's not cozy at all if someone goes to the toilet or comes out of the toilet every second

We ate together here as a group. The restaurant is cozy and absolutely not dirty. The atmosphere is authentic and so is the concept. In terms of taste, not everything was my case with the mixed plates, but that is definitely a matter of taste and otherwise a recommended place. There are also African beers that we have tried.

We first became aware of it through the catering and ultimately we were able to convince ourselves on site. Delicious authentic dishes and lovingly furnished restaurant.

I should have taken photos of this place and my food, but unfortunately I was in a hurry and forgot about it! Nevertheless, a unique and beautiful spot in Frankfurt that delivers my favorite African cuisine! First off - I have to mention the beautiful beautiful waitress that was serving my food, she has to get a pay rise! Unfortunately I am extending bad with names, but she was tall, with glasses and beautiful Scandinavian looks. She made me fall in love with this place after a tiring day in a different city, because of how caring, positive and kind she was! She even treated me to a very very delicious drink before I left, mentioning that it is alcohol free (which was so thoughtful of her, cause she could see I don’t drink alcohol !) I know that being a waiter or waitress is VERY STRESSFUL and u barely have time to think about clients and take ur time with them - but she somehow managed it and all her work as well! And I for sure will come back again with my husband or friends for the drinks and her beautiful energy!) (My husband is a fan of interesting drinks) Coming to the food - I got my favorite a platter with Injera and a mix of African dishes for 17-18 euros (reasonable price for the portion) and it was deliciouss! The design of interiors is something else! They have real sand in one of the halls and u can feel the vibes of Africa in every detail! Thoughtful and atmospheric design! I will add photos next time I come here!

Very satisfying and unusual! The combination of spicy meat with sour pancakes and lentil paste is wow! I also recommend ordering dju dju Mango or Passion fruit beer with your large plate. The food was served quite quickly, considering that we arrived 15 minutes before the kitchen closed (21:45). Very beautiful and photogenic interior 😍

A wonderfully designed restaurant that is as individual and atmospheric as I can currently think of. The service is excellent: guests are helped with their different eating habits in a friendly and accommodating manner. The food is well seasoned: we had a vegetarian and meat plate, which is traditionally eaten with injera bread. Alicha is a potato and cabbage dish that stands out.

The food wasn't really my thing, but the ambience and service were metropolitan.

Great African cuisine and courteous service make this restaurant an experience. Individual composition possible, delicious beer variations and reasonable prices.

Since the owner lives in the village, we went there and were more than thrilled. We've eaten African food several times, including in Frankfurt, but we enjoyed it here by far the best. Ambience is great, made with great attention to detail. There is basically only one main course that you can put together yourself. Price-performance is completely okay.

Super nice atmosphere, you feel like you're in another world. I can recommend reserving the tree house, the only criticism is that it is considerably warmer there when the outside temperatures are summer. The food came quickly and easily, the waitresses were super friendly and it had an almost family-like feel. We were able to easily pack the rest (we didn't manage everything) into a Rebowl can and take it with us. The banana cream as a dessert is really recommended!

Just wow 😍 From the starter to the dessert everything was to die for. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive. We'd love to come back!

Very friendly service, everything is well explained. Food delicious and varied.

Always beautiful in the heart of Africa. Super friendly service and good food. The atmosphere is really lovely...

Today I had the pleasure of dining at the "In the Heart of Africa" ​​restaurant in Frankfurt and it was hands down the best meal I've had in a long time. This restaurant not only offers delicious dishes but also an atmosphere that is second to none. As soon as you enter the restaurant you are captivated by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The decoration is tasteful and authentic, adding to the feeling of truly being in the heart of Africa. The ambience is simply stunning and contributes significantly to an unforgettable experience. The food was absolutely outstanding. The dishes are prepared with great attention to detail and the flavors are simply heavenly. Every dish we tried was a culinary delight and reflected the diversity and depth of African cuisine. The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive. From the first moment you felt welcome and well looked after. The service staff were not only helpful, but also very knowledgeable about the food and its preparation, which enriched the entire experience. "In the heart of Africa" ​​is not just a visit to a restaurant, but an absolute experience. The combination of excellent food, outstanding service and unique atmosphere makes it a must for anyone in Frankfurt. I can only warmly recommend this restaurant and look forward to my next visit.

Incredibly delicious!!!! I sat outside. When the waiter came, he sat right in front of me (very personable) and took my order. I asked what he could recommend and just ordered what he recommended. It was incredibly delicious!!!! The waiters and everyone else were very friendly and personable. Ambiance, interior and everything is great! I'm not from Frankfurt, but I would come again just to eat here! Thanks so much!!!

A wonderful atmosphere with a cheerful, attentive and very friendly service staff. And the food tastes very tasty. I love it! We'd love to come back.

We came across the shop by chance and got space for 2.5 people. The food was very tasty, but some were also spicier, had the mixed platter for 2. There was banana cream for the bedside table. As the person who ordered, I hardly got anything because my partner, who is not usually a fan of sweet things, and my 9-month-old child destroyed it more quickly... when we are back in Frankfurt, we will repeat the visit.

Best Eritrean food I've ever eaten. Very friendly staff, very nice atmosphere, very tasty food. We highly recommended the large mixed platter. I'm already looking forward to the next visit.

Just absolute madness. You don't come here to eat, you come here to experience the food! From the friendliness of the staff to the ambience and the quality of the food, it's simply outstanding. A reservation is definitely recommended! It's best to share food with your best friends; it's eaten by hand from a shared plate. There is a selection of meat and vegetarian dishes. Absolute insider tip: the banana cream as dessert :)

Delicious and great for vegans too. Very stylish and the staff is super friendly

We ate there with our children and were warmly welcomed. The team is super nice and helpful with menu selection. Although I'm from Frankfurt, it was my first time here and I thought the atmosphere was great. Sandy floor and cozy decoration, everything very clean and well maintained. The food was really tasty and we enjoyed it very much. I would have preferred a more reserved dressing (or none at all?) on the salad in the middle to neutralize the palate in between. This is what I know from other injera dishes. But maybe A matter of taste. All in all TOP and would be happy to recommend it.

A great, warm-hearted experience today in the tree house. The food was great, the service was super friendly and the view from above was funny. We really enjoyed the time. Another thing to mention: the restaurant works with deposit boxes. This means you take the leftovers with you and return the box to a partner restaurant. We'll be back soon.

I have had better Ethiopian food . Also very expensive compared to other similar restaurant. We were made to sit in one small corner because we did not reserve, also we asked to share one platter but we were charged for 2 platter. People serving did not pay attention when we were ordering.

Always very good, friendly, delicious... great!!! And that has been the case for years

Great atmosphere with a sandy floor. The food was great! The contrast between “Bahnhofsviertel” and this beautiful restaurant is stark. Service was also very nice and attentive. We would eat here again.

Very nice atmosphere the food is o.k nothing exceptional. The service was good.

Extremely tasty and great service!

Amazing Food, Atmosphere & Service

Everyone was super friendly and the food was great. Absolutely recommended!

We went to the restaurant “In the Heart of Africa” for the first time and found it to be a great experience. The food was amazing! We took a mixed platter for 2 people. You can put together different platters with or without meat, we had a vegan platter. The staff was very nice and polite. You will be happy and well advised when choosing a meal. In the restaurant you eat with your hands and if you have never done this before you will receive a short instruction when the plate is brought out. The drinks were also very tasty and with attention to detail. Absolutely recommended to eat there.

Atmosphere, food, service, furnishings - unmatched!

Beautiful! Very tasty food, wonderful ambience and something very special: very friendly and very attentive service staff. Clearly emo error.

Good African restaurant in Frankfurt.

Expensive cocktails and no real radler (only mango flavor, etc...).

Great experience. A must in Frankfurt Extremely friendly staff with a beautiful, unique atmosphere. Decorated in a clay look, the restaurant brings a unique experience all around. The taste of the food was also just great. If you like to share and try a lot you can try the mixed platter, we thought it was really good. You eat with your fingers, but towels and sinks are available nearby if anyone needs them. The portions are decent and the price is justified. The drinks also creative and delicious. There is a good and tasty selection for vegetarians and vegans. Definitely worth a visit and a big highlight of our trip. We will be back definitely!

One of the highlights of my trip to Frankfurt. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The food was fantastic, lots of variety and contrast. If I lived closer, I would come here all the time.

Cozy atmosphere, wonderful service, and delicious food!

Very nice atmosphere, delicious food and good service. Price level is also absolutely fine. Something special for a change. We recommend

The food was super tasty. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is very original.

Simple African cuisine without a lot of frills in a lovingly furnished restaurant and very friendly and attentive service. Just something different and that makes it stand out. Recommendation: Ethiopian mead as an aperitif. We'd love to come back!

Delicious food, great service and a feel-good atmosphere

Everything was really right, very tasty food, very friendly service and a great ambience. We'd love to come back.

Super nice place to eat, that food is fantastic, I'm just thrilled with this atmosphere!!

Sehr schön eingerichtetes Restaurant mit zwei Bereichen inklusiven eines Kellerbereichs. Sehr nette und aufmerksame Bedienungen, ganz leckeres Essen und gute Weine. Punktabzug gab es bei uns nur, weil die Karte wirklich sehr überschaubar ist, es gibt eine Vorspeise ansonsten kann man nur gemischte Platten bestellen, bei denen man fünf von acht Gerichten auswählen kann, vegetarisch oder mit Fleisch. Es gibt keine fünf Punkte, weil man diese nicht einzeln bestellen kann, stand zumindest nicht auf der Karte. Sehr gerne wieder!

Uniquely good. Has been holding its own for ages. Mega humus. Mixed platter absolutely fantastic. Generous portions.
