Kuli Alma - Israeli Restaurant in Frankfurt am Main

Very tasty food, friendly service. Excellent value for money!

In any case! Very tasty vegan food!

Just great! The selection is large and the food tastes great. It's really fun to be able to choose from so many delicious dishes without any animal suffering. The restaurant is very cozy and the staff is super nice and attentive.

I was there again yesterday and, as always, it was excellent! I love your hummus and the dessert platter is really delicious! 🥰 It has to be every time. Unfortunately I wasn't able to ask the super friendly waiter for the recipes ;-) Unfortunately I don't go to Hesse that often, but your cuisine is worth coming here! Kind regards from Upper Bavaria

Highly recommended! The service was very friendly and the food was really good, especially the dessert was something special. We would love to come back here.

We were guests here for the first time today and were totally thrilled! The atmosphere is super cozy, the service is simply unbeatable and the vegan food is absolutely amazing!!! Rarely eaten so deliciously! Big praise and many compliments to the kitchen and the service! We felt super comfortable and welcome! We will definitely come here more often! Thank you for everything!

Excellent service and food! The kebabs were amazing. One can not tell that they are vegan.

We spent a wonderful evening here! The food was delicious, varied and plentiful. The wine was also a pleasure and the friendly, attentive service as well as the cozy atmosphere rounded everything off. Absolutely recommended, including the brunch we had here some time ago. We'll definitely be back!

We ate at this fantastic restaurant on a Sunday afternoon. It was wonderful, and the dishes were delicious. Even as a non-veg person, I got my money's worth. So, 100 points!

Even if you are a non-vegetarian, the selection of dishes and flavors is amazing.

Cuisine was good but unfortunately with some burned mushrooms. I really appreciate the vegan an animal wellfare aspect however being sit in front of the Israeli flag raised some question about the owner concern for the wellfare of palestinians.

Great food, nice people, gladly again! The selection is fantastic.

The food is really affordable, specially the business lunch. The falafel was incredible. However that is it. Nothing really special… just vegan dishes with mild Israeli/middle eastern flavor.

Totally... super friendly staff... fast, smooth, relaxed, competent... would love to come back!

Super delicious and affordable!!!

Ate there spontaneously today: highly recommended. In addition to the very tasty and rich food, I would like to praise the service team. Very friendly and accommodating. All in all, a hit!

Food was great! Just consider it’s vegetarian! Although it wasn’t proper meat it taste really good!

Hello. I ate there for the first time yesterday with a small group of 8 people. The food was simply fantastic. Portion size, seasoning.....just great. The service was also exemplary without being annoying. You know it...asking every 5 minutes if you need anything else, that's annoying. But here at larger intervals we simply asked as we walked past whether we were satisfied. That's exactly how service works. The only small point of criticism. Due to the rooms there, the background noise from other guests is quite loud. Anyone who doesn't have the ability to block out noise could quickly become annoyed. But otherwise absolutely GREAT! Gladly again!

First visit. I'm a flexitarian with a strong tendency towards meat. The food tasted very good, I only noticed in the restaurant that most of the dishes were vegan. Respect. Very well cooked, very well seasoned. And homemade lemonade always stands out from routine mineral water. It wasn't my last time at Kuli Alma.

Very tasty, fresh and well-seasoned food. Very nice, friendly boss. I can highly recommend the oyster mushroom shawarma, very filling, well seasoned and low in fat (sauces can be served separately if desired). Starter eggplant was also delicate. The wines are selected and of very good quality. I discovered it by chance and now want to come more often.

good place for a snack, food is tasty, overall a normal eatery

It was a culinary experience! The Seitan kebab was very juicy and everything was very well seasoned. The portions are large and very filling.

Super great food! Everything's great!

Ich bin begeistert…noch nie wurde ich in einem Restaurant so freundlich empfangen und bedient wie hier im Kuli Alma…das Essen war sensationell gut …ich komme wieder …vielen Dank an das tolle Team …bin immer noch sprachlos über so viel Liebe und Freundlichkeit

Everything was great! Definitely coming back when we are nearby 🤗

Leckerer Falafel, Humus war meiner Meinung nach nicht der beste. Freundliche und schnelle Bedienung, insgesamt in Ordnung.

Super delicious food and friendly attentive service. We had a wonderful evening and would love to come back.

Highly recommended, also recommended for non-veggie friends!

Very tasty food. The two of us shared the starter plate and were well fed. Nice service and a pleasant, cozy atmosphere. Not too fancy, just a good mix. The price is also completely reasonable.

Service and food were excellent! Our mental and physical well-being was taken care of first-class. I can only recommend it. Live and let live 🐄

We were here on the way back. This was the best chance find we've ever made. In the 1.5 hour time slot for the reservation (Saturday evening, called in advance and reserved at relatively short notice) we had excellent food and outstanding service. We haven't eaten so well for a long time and, as a fully trained waitress, I have rarely experienced such BONUS service. Starter - main course - dessert. Everything is awesome. The winter garden is heated and has a great ambience. So don't be put off if you're only offered a place there. We didn't regret it! We will definitely stop here again when passing through, if not even take the 1.5 hour trip and eat here again. We are extremely satisfied and can hardly wait to come back to Kuli Alma. Thank you for your vision and your restaurant.

We were here with nine people on a Sunday lunchtime. Even though it was quite busy, the service was super fast and super friendly. No question was too much. Everything was excellently organized. The food was brilliant, from the starter platters to the main courses and the desserts. All three generations represented are enthusiastic. Clear recommendation.

We've been there for the 5th time now and every time it's a "celebration", the food and the team are a pleasure, even the 90 km can't stop us from coming a 6th, 7th, 8th....time :-)

For being a vegan restaurant , I am surprised by some of the flavours and tastes. Rich and tasty. Personally I think the dish that replaced with vegan meat is ok, not as good as those that with veggies and more original vegan food Appetizers come with surprise ; maindish I will not overate it. Chocolate mousse was also tasty . But it's a good place to go with the vegan friends.

We had a main course platter for 2 and it was delicious. We were able to try our way through 5 different dishes and were in vegan heaven! Everything was fresh, tasted great and lovingly prepared. The service was, as always, extremely attentive and warm. An absolute recommendation 👍🏻 We would love to come back 💚

Super lovely hosts, incredibly delicious food and a wonderful atmosphere! Thank you very much!

How delicious can food be? I'm so excited every time😍

It was super tasty. We felt very comfortable. Definitely coming back

We visited for the first time and were very impressed. Super nice people, sociable location, top-notch cuisine. We will come by more often and have a good time with you. Highly recommended

Kuli Alma is by far my favorite restaurant and has been for several years. I have now tried my way through large parts of the map and have been impressed every time. A review is also in order. I could swim in the Labaneh. This is available, among other things, on the appetizer platter, which is overall a great recommendation! I'm also a big fan of Sunday brunch. The concept is simply brilliant: all you can eat, but everything is brought to the table and you order whatever you particularly like. For those looking to save money, I recommend the affordable lunch menu during the week. The Limo-Nana is the tastiest lemonade I know! Oh, actually I recommend everything I've eaten there so far and everything is definitely worth the money. In addition, the staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is very cozy. My non-vegan family was also convinced of the restaurant in no time. We are now regular guests on birthdays and always get a little surprise :). The restaurant isn't exactly centrally located, but it's worth the detour - for vegans and non-vegans alike!

An unforgettable evening in a great atmosphere, with first-class service and delicious food and drinks 😍 We will definitely be back!!

Positive: - Easy reservation, both by phone and online - High quality dishes, always delicious - Large selection, attractively presented - fast service - Good accessibility by public transport - Dogs welcome - Terrace (heated in winter) We recommend dinner in the beautiful vaulted cellar and Sunday brunch! Negative: - Difficult parking situation, the restaurant is in a residential area - regularly changing staff - not barrier-free, the restaurant is accessible via stairs, therefore not suitable for wheelchairs and strollers - generally very narrow, especially the toilets - no changing facilities We are regular guests at Kuli Alma. Unfortunately, I think the staff has been changing a lot lately. At first you knew each other, but now you feel like you've been ignored. On our last visit we were served by four different people and received a rather unfriendly welcome (and were told in no uncertain terms that we had to leave our reserved table by x o'clock). Prices have been increased and portions have been reduced. We particularly noticed it in the smaller kitchen pieces, which were significantly larger a while ago. This is probably due to rising raw material prices. All in all, recommended, not just for vegans!

We ate here again this evening. The dishes are delicious and are lovingly prepared and served. The warm welcome on every visit couldn't be warmer. See you soon!

Super delicious food. If I hadn't known it was vegan, I wouldn't have noticed. Nice atmosphere, cozy

I've definitely been there 10 times, super super tasty and very good value for money

The best falafel I've had so far. Everything is wonderfully strongly seasoned! First-class wine selection 🍷

What more could a vegan heart want 🥰. We give 10 stars for the warmth, the perfect food and also for the ambience. Thank you very much for the great evening, we are happy to accept the longer journey and come back.

A table in the wine cellar is highly recommended

Great, tasty, beautifully presented food. The boss also takes care of the guests. A clear recommendation even for non-vegans. Homemade hummus and falafel, Israeli beer! What more could you want!? All that remains is to say Shalom and L'chaim!✡️🍷

I always enjoy coming here – even as a meat eater. Warm food every day, a beautiful terrace, a warm wine cellar in winter and the main restaurant is always very nice to sit among bric-a-brac and Middle Eastern photos. Excellent service. Good music (my phone's AI spat out Hebrew characters), although too quiet for my taste. With parking nearby, it becomes more difficult in this residential area. However, the “Marbachweg” stop on the U5 is only 210 m away. The restaurant can be reached from the “Dornbusch” stop on the U1, U2, U3, U4, U8 in 1.1 km. KULI'S STARTER PLATE for €29.50 (with hummus, falafel, baked eggplant, potato salad, cauliflower, labaneh, challah and pita bread) is a must on every visit. The two of us eat these and then – unfortunately – we are completely full. We also shared the homemade shawarma (€16.90 made from seitan with onions, portobello mushrooms with Israeli salad, hummus and challah bread, with amba, harissa and tahini sauce). A real house specialty. For €17.90 you can get the same thing with oyster mushrooms instead of seitan. The friend really liked the cauliflower steak (17.90); Her husband was very happy with the Chraime (€17.90, spicy tomato and vegetable dish with tofu balls), although he had hoped for shakshuka, which was recently offered there in a restaurant television program. But it tasted very similar. Owner Nir Rosenfeld even revealed his recipe for vegan Chraime to a German news magazine from Hamburg in November 2021! It's definitely worth cooking again. My personal surprise was the Beyond Burger with cocktail sauce (18), there was really no meat missing! The whole thing was rounded off with nougat ice cream (6.90) with espresso doppio (2.20). Fortunately, the Mount Hermon from the Golan Heights Winery in Israel is also available in white and red for €9.50 for a 0.2 liter glass. The delicious Hefeweizen Prinz Luitpold was really well chilled (5.50). The brunch menu is recommended on Sundays.

Die finale Überzeugung des fleischlosen Genusses. In Bistro ähnlichem Ambiente verbringt man einen in jeder Hinsicht einen gelungenen Abend. Kulinarik und Service sind wirklich prima.

Perfect....everything perfect. Morally miles ahead. Thanks also to Maris

Great food in a great atmosphere. Price performance for the lunch offer is top!!

Yes, very difficult to find except for parking

I can only absolutely recommend the mushroom shawarma. But so far everything I've ordered here has tasted fabulous. The location is ideal for dates. However, reservations are recommended.

Highly recommended. Mega tasty, very friendly 💚

Nice restaurant and very tasty food at reasonable prices. And best of all, no animal suffered for it! Always my pleasure!

One of the best vegan restaurants I've ever eaten at. Great cook and very good service. Nir and his team are just super nice and respond perfectly to the guests' needs

Great tasteful and delicious vegan food.

Very good vegan restaurant. Falafel and cauliflower steak are great (I love them), there is nothing that doesn't go well or doesn't taste good (what we've had so far) Delicious soups, desserts etc. Hospitable staff, non-vegans don't notice it :-) The prices are okay, as vegan is significantly more expensive (e.g. VAT) and more complex, plus rent What's not ok is to call "Israeli" what is usually vegan and mainstream trendy food and not even a specifically Israeli recipe. Not cool, but uncool marketing

Plastic cards in a shop that wants to present sustainability, old frying fat! And a chain that is pixelated on TV... doesn't work at all!

I have a question, vegetarians and vegans always expect to get vegetarian or vegan dishes in “normal” restaurants. How is it the other way around, you get “normal” food, i.e. animal products.

Vegetarian / vegan at it's best. Simply delicious 😋

I'm happy every time I'm in Frankfurt and have the opportunity to eat there, it's always very tasty 😋 and you feel like you're at home there, I can only recommend it to everyone

Wir sind häufig im Kuli Alma, weil das Essen so gut schmeckt! Zuletzt, mit unserem Besuch, in der ersten Januarwoche. Man muss es immer wieder sagen, es tut so gut, als vegan Lebende alles auf der Karte bestellen zu können, ohne "Weglassen müssen", wie in "vegan freundlichen" Gaststätten meistens. Sicher zu sein, dass wirklich alles tierleidfrei ist! Befreiend auch für uns! Nicht nur für Tiere, die wir leben lassen. Wir bestellen gern Hauptgerichte in Kombi mit Vorspeisen, die wir zeitgleich bestellen. Dann wird auch oft probiert und geteilt untereinander. Alles ist köstlich! Gerade überflog ich neben den vielen guten Kritiken auch zwei schlechtere. Letztere verstehe ich überhaupt nicht. Wir hatten noch nie Beanstandungen, alles war stets wie gewohnt lecker und üppig. Und wer sich über die Preise beschwert, die bei dem Aufwand der Zubereitung und der Qualität der Lebensmittel ohnehin angemessen sind, sollte wissen, dass vegane Zutaten leider teurer sind, weil es eine Lobby für nicht-vegane Produkte gibt, und sich außerdem klar machen, dass es sich trotzdem im Kuli Alma um ortsübliche Preise handelt, wenn man Restaurants vergleicht. Unser Fazit: Das Kuli Alma verdiente sogar 6 Sterne, schon weil es uns so befreit, aber insbesondere wegen des tollen Essens!

I don't have the words to describe such great service, friendly and warm staff. Very great surprises from my birthday. Food is very tasty with a large selection. Everything was wonderful, more than expected. Highly recommended.❤️

Definitely one of my favorite restaurants. We come here for every family birthday and it is always a great experience. The appetizer platter is a must and I can totally recommend the burger.

There were two of us in this restaurant today and we ordered the main course platter for two people, which meant we were able to try different dishes. We were absolutely thrilled! The food was fantastic and the service was very friendly. If we ever end up in Frankfurt again, we will definitely come back!

A culinary dream. Staff super nice!! Come again!

Fantastic vegan experience! 🌱 For us the best vegan restaurant in Frankfurt. The food is always fresh and prepared with great attention to detail. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, the staff very friendly and attentive. We are impressed by the quality and sustainability. We've been going there for years and would love to come back. Absolutely recommended.

Service catastrophic. Half of the dish was forgotten and rude! Food is ok, nothing special

Unfortunately not satisfactory. Half of two dishes were forgotten or not yet finished. The pita with the hummus was forgotten. And when it came, the hummus was of course already empty. The salad was unsalted and appeared to be a few days old. The portions are tiny for a steep price.

The shawarma was ok...I had strange hard things in the soft shawarma...for the price the quality is absolutely not justified!

Restaurant is in a quiet location, but unfortunately parking is difficult. The furnishings are modern and appropriate, but the interior is very tight. The food is a little more expensive, but tastes very tasty. We had kebab and shawarma, both recommended.

Friendly service. Top vegan food. Children's toys to play at the table. Any time.

This restaurant is one of the best restaurants of its kind in Germany. Apart from the fact that the food is great and homemade, there is no noticeable lack of staff here. Suggests that the employees enjoy working there. I keep coming back!

The dishes were creative and lovingly prepared. The portions were reasonably large. Nice service.

Very tasty and pleasant purely vegan restaurant

Amazing staff and service. Lots of compassion and advocacy for the animals. And the food, so good! Worth a visit.

Update December 29, 2024: When I checked my review, I found too many spelling errors and these were corrected. The review below is from two months ago. Original review: For me it's a good restaurant with upward potential. My experiences: Positive: -Falafel tastes incredibly good! -Furniture was designed with a lot of love -The restaurant invites you to try out new food -Service is polite -White wine mushroom sauce was very good! Neutral: -The prices are high for the quality and quantity offered. I would be happy to pay 20% less immediately, but I understand the economic environment of the restaurateurs. -Using names like schnitzel in a vegan restaurant is not entirely clean in my opinion. Personally, I would completely leave out terms like kebab and schnitzel to completely avoid misunderstandings. -The cappuccino was far too hot and didn't taste anything special. -I had to ask twice about my order. We apologized once, which was completely OK, but not the second time. -The roast beef made from beetroot was nothing special for my taste (I tend to call it boring) which makes the 21.90 euros too expensive in my opinion. -The baked potatoes were bland. With butter, salt and rosemary you could really work wonders. -There was no greeting from the kitchen. In summary, if I'm personally in the area and feel a little hungry, I like to stop by for a portion of falafel because they were so tasty, but I don't make a special trip to the restaurant from downtown Frankfurt.

So warm and friendly!! The food is fantastic and really tasty - just like in Tel Aviv 😊

The appetizer platter was really excellent. Likewise the wine selection. The service was nice and attentive. The mixed main course platter for two people: divided. A poster in the entrance says: Everything but potatoes. Unfortunately, a quarter of the mixed plate consisted of potatoes (I missed that in the menu), and they weren't even prepared in a particularly sophisticated way. The vegan kebab reminded me more of a sausage salad.

The food is excellent. Everything was perfect and there is nothing to complain about. Unfortunately, the tables are very close to each other and the neighbors' conversations cannot be ignored. You can probably still handle it. I don't know if that's why it's so loud. The three stars are mainly because we couldn't take advantage of the 2 hour reservation. After 1 hour & 39 minutes we were asked whether we wanted to sit in a corner or whether we would prefer to pay because a reservation for 8 would wait. Maybe a bit petty, but you only have 2 hours there and, despite a reservation, you are given the choice of leaving or reparking. I really don't think that's good and it ruins the nice meal and get-together. Apparently there is overbooking here. Really really a shame. If you can only offer the guest 2 hours. Then he shouldn't have to make any changes due to poor reservation planning.

Food is all Arabic but is claimed as “Israeli”. It also tastes disgusting. Service is arrogant but what do you expect. Prices too expensive, portions far too small. The 5 star reviews are bought. It's not normal for it to rain 5 star reviews within a few hours.

Delicious vegan food! Great team who are always helpful and courteous. Every time we are there it is just a wonderful experience! And the best thing is that the owners do so much good for animals and people! No matter what your origin ♥️ we are always happy to come back!

Very good restaurant. Delicious food, friendly people and great atmosphere.

The feast for Christmas. Super tasty. Friendly. How do you get the cauliflower like that?

Super nice people, the food is great. We have been there several times and will come again. Everything is vegan. At lunchtime there are inexpensive lunch deals that are really good.

Very tasty food, staff extremely friendly and accommodating, great atmosphere, highly recommended!

My stepdaughter is Vegan - I’m not. The restaurant is 100% vegan. I’ve eaten very convincing schnitzel and roast beef there. You’d never know it’s a vegan dish.

Super delicious food, super good service, great ambience. Definitely try it out! We recommend hummus, falafel and the shawarma!

Very tasty and everything very fresh, falafel very tasty, large selection for vegetarians, friendly service and nice atmosphere. I'll definitely come back soon, thank you very much!!!

Trendy vegan restaurant that non-vegetarians or non-vegans like me can also go to. We were there on Thursday evening and it was very busy, so it's better to make a reservation. The food and service were good, as well as a cozy atmosphere. Parking is a bit difficult, but the U5 stops nearby.

Delicious food, nice staff, so far. We were in the basement as a group, so it took a while for someone to come because there was a lot going on up there.

Saturday, December 7th, 2024 ->> We became aware of this and were curious about a report on Hessian television, so we took this as an opportunity and reserved it for 6 people. The curiosity about vegan and Israeli cuisine and preparation was very great and free of any prejudices. We weren't disappointed - on the contrary! Starting with a nice telephone reservation, a very, very friendly young waiter who gave us great advice and also competed positively with our sense of humor. (hope blowing on the burn helped - no - of course it helped) The aperitif offer was delicious - the composition of the starter and main course platter was perfectly complemented by the service mentioned for our group and tailored to our hunger and curiosity. There was no wish left unfulfilled and no one left hungry! The plentiful re-orders also arrived promptly and quickly. The food was super delicious and we can all only recommend sharing the plates and trying everything - it's worth it! The cake as dessert was okay, but not a highlight either. The drinks “Pink Bubble” Pinot Noir sparkling wine on ice and the very tasty bottled red wine “Frankfurter Liebe” (the wine went perfectly with the food) are highly recommended and also as a nightcap with one or two or… “Arak”. The prices are not cheap and not expensive. We find contemporary cuisine that is fair and something for every budget. We think it's a shame that we were the last table at 10:15 p.m., even though the restaurant was packed - but that didn't mean we were forced to leave. Attention - tables in the entrance area are very drafty and fresh, even if an effort is made to keep the door closed. It's nice that there is such a nice addition to the diverse range of restaurants in our liberal and cosmopolitan "village" of Frankfurt, right in the middle of the Dornbusch residential area! ! ! By the way, it's easy to reach by public transport. Finally, I would like to mention that five conscious meat eaters who are old and intelligent enough to make this decision and not let anyone judge them for it, enjoyed it very much and not for the last time. Every person has the right to live and eat what they want and no one should judge them for it, but anyone who has prejudices against vegan cuisine should visit this restaurant. The six of us agree with this opinion and are looking forward to the next evenings at Kuli Alma. To the young waiter -> that's a threat……..NO…… a promise (you can take time off if you read our name in the reservation book ;-)) Keep it up & Masel tov of 6 potatoes

Went there for brunch for the first time today. The food tastes very good and is plentiful. The staff and service is very friendly.

We have wanted to try this restaurant for a long time, last night we succeeded. The food is excellent, the environment is pleasant and the service is attentive and fast. The dishes are plentiful, we couldn't finish it all. The boy recommended us a very good wine. We will definitely be back.

We had the schnitzel and the homemade shawarma. The food was ok, not great. The Israeli cigars were good! It was nice and warm on the covered terrace with heaters.

If you are into vegan, let's go!

First of all... super friendly, service-oriented and professional team. You don't experience that often. Nice little wine list with wines from Israel... including the very nice Yarden Cabernet Sauvignon from the exciting Golan Heights. Portion size allows for great hunger without ending in decadent gluttony. The map is small enough not to be too random and large enough that everyone can find something. The appetizer platter was very convincing, only the eggplant I would have liked was a little oilier and softer. The main course didn't quite suit my taste. The Chaime was super tasty (except for the balls) and the oyster mushroom skewer was very nice. But somehow I would have liked more vegetables and more freshness (a friend took the order). And I didn't like the shawarma - gelatinous, not so excitingly seasoned. The desserts were again super tasty... chocolate tart and cheesecake. If it were closer... I would come more often. @Team: Do you have any other wines from Israel beyond the wines on the menu? Or simply an additional wine list? I forgot to ask.
