Papaye Restaurant in Hamburg

THIS RESTAURANT STEALED FROM ME!!!! So after trying to resolve this issue with Lieferando three times and failing to resolve the dispute properly, I have no choice but to let all customers on all platforms know how underhanded, underhanded, dishonest and fraudulent this restaurant is. I ordered Chicken Jollof Rice (guys, that was disgusting, the rice had no color or taste and there was even hair in the chicken drumsticks), Kelewele (that tasted horrible) and AfroSoda. I received a call from the lady telling me that she was alone and had no drivers and that I should please order via UberEats or Wolt. I said sure I can do that but please cancel my order, she replied "I already have" and I trusted them and ordered again. The UberEats order came and the food was disgusting, I called again to remind them to cancel my order because it showed as active in the Lieferando app and replied "I already have". Well, I let it go and an hour later the app showed the order as delivered. I opened a dispute with Lieferando, to which they replied that the food was delivered according to the restaurant and there was nothing they could be. So please people, DON'T BUY THIS TASTELESS FOOD FROM THESE THIEVES.

Food very good, prices okay, service very nice, small, cozy restaurant

Positive comments: The foods were fantastic. We took 3 different meals and they were all fantastic and very delicious. Negative comment: it takes too long to finish. Just order one hour ahead. I would recommend all the time.

Strong sea bream (dorade) fish with banana, yam, and rice are highly recommended! Rice cake-like dumplings made with horse flour have a strong sour taste and less texture than rice cakes, but they are traditional dishes and should not be overlooked. It looks like it is cooked by steaming it in plastic. There is also space to sit outdoors.

So delicious! I can highly recommend! Very friendly staff!

Delicious. A friend of mine said like at home.

Very small portions, overpriced and jollof is unfortunately not good

Ate African food for the first time and it was very good, I can only recommend Fufu

The plate of fried rice with a tiny tilapia for 21.7€ is a disappointment . I will never recommend anybody to come to this restaurant . You need to work on your food and prices . Common !

I once paid €12.50 for Plantain Red. I understand that the prices have had to be raised over time, but the dish now costs over €21 and the fish is smaller than it used to be. The price-performance ratio is no longer right here

Ordered fried rice ....it was very bad

Yesterday 22.06.24 oder fish,and Banku, the fish was complety rotten with bad small, tomatoes and onoins were not fresh, calling back the only telling me Sorry and i have being a customer there mostly i take delivery, very Dissappointed with yesterday order 👎👎👎.

The food was very bad, we ordered Kebab, The kebab was very oily, with soo much of vegetable than The Meat. No suya powder on it, which means you can’t call it kebab.The kelewele was just like fried plantain ,no spiciest, just groundnut ( the groundnut can be counting) the yellow plantain wasn’t fresh, it was just the old one that was fried again. We got a burned banku, but the tilapia was nice with the pepper.what was the baddest of it all was the jollof and The wakye, how Can jollof look like wakye, and wakye look like jollof. No taste In the food, how can you sell such food? We were 12 people and we are all very disappointed, we wount come to this restaurant again.

We had a beutiful time with a yammmy food and very good service.

The welcome was very friendly and I liked the food. The prices were also reasonable.

Delicious! The fish is great and the service is friendly.

Delicious food, not so spicy so everyone is able to enjoy this place, just awesome

My first time trying jollof rice and fufu. It was amazing. The food were delicious. The spicy sauce was spicy!!! We LOVE IT! We even ordered extra spicy sauce. Not to forget the Kele wele (fried sweet plantain), it was fried and almost caramelised, so tasty! The waitress was nice and helpfull. As an Indonesian I think Indonesian people will love this type of food. We have similar taste. They also got different types of beer. I recommend the passion fruit beer, it really went well with the fish and the rice. In this place you can easily pay by card or by paypal. The location is only 1 min from Sbahn Friedrichsberg. Will definetely go back.

I visited the restaurant with several friends. The food there was delicious and authentically prepared. Since we ate there, we noticed how small the restaurant is. The 7 of us alone have already occupied almost 1/3 of the tables. The wait for the food to arrive was about 30 minutes, but it was worth the wait

I just ate there and loved it. The food is delicious and authentic, the staff is polite, the atmosphere is pleasant.

Delicious food, welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff with African music. Gladly again!

Super delicious West African cuisine with traditional dishes! We received very friendly advice for our main course, especially because it was our first time eating African food.

The best jollof I have ever tasted. I had the best experience and food was amazing ..

Small, cozy restaurant with very good food and very nice service. The best fish in Hamburg.

The best restaurant I often eat at and very clean too 😻😻😻😻

If you want something different: try the fermented rice! :)

I had a lovely experience.the atmosphere was superb and the food was amazing.. I recommend fish, jollof and kelewele.. the have variety.. it’s a must eat when we are in Hamburg 🥰🥰

Good African restaurant. A bit small. The food was delicious and my special request was fulfilled. Gladly again!

Very good, tasty and delivered quickly will order again!

Interesting food, you should try it. The peanut sauce and the plantains are highly recommended. PLV is ok.

Very delish west African food 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 The waitress always takes time to explain everything to us. Not the fanciest place ever, but that's when you know the food is good!

Surprisingly good! Because of the different reviews I was a bit critical at first, but I was pleasantly surprised! Very tasty and authentic Ghanaian food and very friendly service.

I'm a big fan of your restaurant now! I ordered the fish with plantain rice, and it was absolutely delicious. The fish was cooked to perfection, and the plantain rice was flavorful and perfectly seasoned. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Food was very tasty and corresponded to the price-performance ratio!

Das Essen war leider kalt und hat nach Fisch geschmeckt und gerochen obwohl ich Rind bestellt habe. Leider musste ich alles wegwerfen da ich kein Fisch Essen darf aus gesundheitlichen Gründen. Meine einzige positive Bemerkung ist das Essen sah köstlich aus .

Netter Kellner. Habe Bestellung abgegeben nach 5 min war das Essen da komisch Reis Tamatensosse und Rindfleisch alles kalt. Habe den Kellner angesprochen er der Teller ist doch heiß. Habe den Teller zurück gehen lassen nach 2 Minuten kam das Essen wider. Jetzt war der Salat auch heiß. Kellner wieder angesprochen. Er bejahte das alles nur in der Mikrowelle gewaermt wird. Bei meiner Begleitung war auch alles nur aus der Mikrowelle. Die Küche befindet sich im Keller nicht so genau hinsehen. WC Ist nebenan. Frisch nein teuer ja. Nie wieder.

Super leckeres afrikanisches Essen mit netter Bedienung, eher spartanisch eingerichtet - aber angemessen

Zwar sehr einfach eingerichtet, aber das Essen ist sehr authentisch und lecker. Freundliche Bedienung und gute Preise.

Really great authentic African/Ghanian food.

Nettes Personal...gute Atmosphäre...(klein aber fein!!! 😊) gute Auswahl...angemessene Preise!!!

Hat gut geschmeckt. Kann die Kochbananen empfehlen. Und did Getränke sind cool. Ich weiß nur nicht was ich von der Toilette halten soll

Super leckeres afrikanisches Essen

Wir haben dort den Geburtstag meines Freundes gefeiert. Der Chef hat mit mir das Essen geplant (Buffet). Das war richtig cool. Es war alles super vorbereitet und das Essen sehr lecker. Konnten den Raum mit Deko schmücken. :) danke euch für den schönen Abend, Papaye! (Rezension leider bisschen spät, die Feier war im November! Besser spät als nie!)

Wir waren heute vor Ort und es war super lecker! Auch die Auswahl an exotischen Getränken ist echt cool! Auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung und wir werden wiederkommen :)

Mal was ganz anderes als Pizza und Pasta. Uns hat es sehr gut geschmeckt! Bei den Gerichten mit Hühnchen muss man wissen, dass es sich um Hüherschenkel handelt. Seeeehr viel Reis als Beilage - kaum zu schaffen.

Das Lokal sieht nicht einladend aus. Die Wände sind schwarz gestrichen. Nicht so sauber. Das Essen war relativ schnell da. Ohne Liebe serviert. Zweites Mal gehe ich dorthin mit Sicherheit nicht.

Sah so schlecht aus das ich mich nicht getraut habe darein zugehen. Daneben ist ein toller Gricher

Service 10/10 Kebab 7/10 Fried Yam 10/10 Jollof 8/10 Fried Rice 12/10 Ananas und mango Bier 10/10 Das Essen Vorbereitung hat nur 15 bis 20 Minuten gedauert Wir kommen gerne wieder

Ich gebe wohl gemeinte 4 Sterne, da ich früher immer zufrieden war und mir die schlechten Bewertungen bei lieferando leid tun. Jedoch habe ich mich bis jetzt nicht wieder getraut zu bestellen und hoffe, dass ihr euch wieder mehr Mühe gebt. Ich werde es bald wieder versuchen und hoffe nicht enttäuscht zu werden

I had the Jolloff Rice with a side of Fried Plantains, with an Afro Fanta, Pineapple Bier, and a side of Banku to share with my friends and I. Overall I enjoyed the whole meal! I went in looking for a nice vegetarian dish and the Jolloff Rice was fantastic with the plantains, which were also well cooked and tasted amazing! The restaurant itself is a bit small but the food was worth it!

War ein mehr oder weniger spontaner Besuch. Das Ambiente (innen) war schlicht, das Essen schmeckte uns vorzüglich.

Die Lieferantin war sehr freundlich. Die Portion „Fried Rice mit Rindfleisch“ ,für gute 13:00€, Ist echt klein. Davon wird eine erwachsene Person auf keinen Fall satt.

Das Essen ist zwar sehr lecker und offensichtlich authentisch afrikanisch, aber für den Preis erwarte ich wesentlich mehr Fleisch bei den Gerichten. Der Service ist stark verbesserungsfähig. Obwohl wir die einzigen Gäste vor Ort waren, musste ich nach einiger Zeit darum bitten, endlich bestellen zu dürfen. Das Ambiente ist sehr schlicht, nicht besonders gemütlich und ziemlich renovierungsbedürftig. Wenn man das Restaurant ausprobieren möchte, empfehle ich eine außer-Haus-Bestellung.

Wir waren schon zweimal vor Ort essen und da hat es uns ganz gut gefallen, auch wenn die Lage und das Ambiente nicht wirklich ansprechend sind. Das Essen war lecker, aber ich denke in Hamburg gibt es bessere Anlaufstellen für gute afrikanische Küche. Dann haben wir bestellt, da wars dann nicht mehr so lecker 😅 Wer Authentizität und Qualität erwartet ist hier nicht ganz richtig…

Tasty food. Although it took a bit longer than expected (we were eating in the restaurant itself, no delivery), it was worth the wait. We had Banku with Fish and Akwaaye and we enjoyed it all! Place could do with a bit more decoration/atmosphere, but at the end of the day its the food that matters. Would definitely recommend!

Sehr sehr lecker. War mein erstes mal afrikanisch und bin begeistert.

Das Essen war richtig lecker, das etwas lange Warten hat sich definitiv gelohnt! Der Service war auch super, wir kommen gerne wieder :)

The food as amazing. All ruined by the experience of not having (or not wanting to provide) payment for international cards. The place is a bit dodgy, but overall worth the experience.

Allgemein war das Essen (Couscous und Tiegkloß) ein bisschen sauer. Ich glaube das war typisch. Der Preis war angenehm. Kartenbezahlung ab 10€.

A lot of delicious vegan options Welcoming atmosphere .

Sehr lecker. Kann ich jedem empfehlen.

Nice but the rice was kinda strong, nice menu.

Ich habe dort „Banku“ mit okrasauce & Rind bestellt. Leider schmeckte die Soße nicht so wie erwartet. Da ich selbst Afrikaner bin, habe ich diverse Okrasoßen probiert. Diese hat mir leider nicht gefallen. Also für mich war die Soße 3/10. Das personal war aber sehr freundlich. Meine Freundin hatte „Awakye“ mit Hähnchen, dies schmeckte jedoch sehr lecker und ist zu empfehlen.

I've not been there. But order food from this place. Sometimes the dispatch will come with all the stew running in the polyethylene bags 🎒
