Safari Restaurant in Kaiserslautern

Incredibly great service. Even if you need advice on dishes with unusual allergies, they take the time and offer a selection of dishes. On top of that, everyone loves children. We had a wonderful evening for young and old. Gladly again

Simply delicious and really something completely different. Super nice team, very clean and the food is simply prepared with love and it tastes very, very tasty. Recommendation from my side is number 18. There you have almost every dish to try (it's also available without meat and if I'm not mistaken, it's vegan).

Food is great. Service gets slower with each visit.

Very nice service Delicious food

Safari is an excellent restaurant and the menu has something for all regardless of your dietary needs and also food items for kids. The food is always made fresh with love giving us a true experience of authentic Ethiopian culture and cuisines in Germany. Mr. Eseyas the owner is a great man who always takes a moment to engage with the customers. His Dream Team consist of Mrs. Timnit and Mr. Amanuel and the other team members do a superb job of making me always feel welcomed and at home every time I visit, which is often 😊. I highly recommend you visit Safari and experience the blissfulness of great food, a great dining experience, and most importantly great people. Christopher

The first time, but certainly not the last time there. Very tasty and very friendly

Amazing fruit beers! Homey and delicious food that will fill you up for life. Have been here multiple times and never disappointed.

From the service to the ambience to the food, everything is top notch. We would love to come back

Very tasty food, sufficient portions, good service.

Something different! Here in the picture number 13 with chicken. With hinberry and rosemary lemonade and a tip it came to €20. There are many exotic types of beer. On the left in the picture is couscous.

I came across the restaurant through a challenge. We were there with four people and had a very nice evening with good food.

Food is very tasty, price/performance good, service great. I love the safari places. Be sure to reserve seats in advance.

Great food, authentic and delicious.

Very friendly staff (also towards dogs), nice restaurant and very tasty food.

Perfect. Get something fresh to eat even late. diverse and tasty. Vegetarian, vegan and even gluten-free (THANK YOU!!). We'll come back if we end up in KL again. If you live closer: Don't miss it. Additionally, incredibly nice and friendly staff. You feel good.

Was für eine tolle Erfahrung in einem äthiopischen Restaurant in Kaiserslautern zu speisen. Der Tibsi ist phantastisch. Tolle Küche. Nettes Personal. Ein toller Abend.

The food was so spicy that you didn't notice any taste other than spicy. Otherwise you were pretty much left alone.

The African food is worth the visit, very tasty and plentiful. The service is perfect and the ambience too. At the beginning the music was a bit loud, but then they adjusted it.

I can absolutely recommend this establishment. I was pleasantly surprised once I stepped in, to find how many people were enjoying themselves. Fantastic service and you can tell the team is very well adjusted to working with each other. The food was delicious. The mixture of people dining was really refreshing. I will be coming back.

We were here with 10 people and ordered mixed plates. All very tasty. For some it was a little spicy, but not really too spicy. Service was very nice and we felt very comfortable in the cozy atmosphere

I just ate again very tasty👍I can only recommend it👍gladly again.

I went to Safari for the first time last night with my girlfriend, who lives in the States. I had no experience with African cuisine before. All the dishes I ate (of course I forgot the names of the dishes🙄) were very good Delicious. The friendly service is happy to answer any questions you may have about the food. I can definitely recommend the Safari.

Wir hatten spannendes und leckeres Essen. Wurden sehr nett bedient und hatten eine schöne Zeit im Safari. Wir können das Essen und den Besuch dort absolut empfehlen.

Super delicious food and drink. We are always thrilled. The restaurant is authentic and cozy.

We were there for the first time, food was great and delicious. Staff were friendly and attentive. Ambience was great. It certainly wasn't there for the last time.

Very tasty and nice staff. We were here for the first time and loved it! Would love to come back. Vegan food highly recommended

Really great restaurant! Delicious. Vegan options and even gluten-free options if you let us know in advance. Great atmosphere and super nice staff. Simply great. Will come again!

I infected my girlfriend with my love for East African cuisine! Many years ago I was often able to enjoy injera and the like in Berlin and after my holiday in Tanzania this year I was longing for East African cuisine. Thanks to Google I found Safari and I am absolutely thrilled! We shared a starter plate, the Sambusa filled with chicken, and it was a poem! For the main course I had Gored Gored with Timtimo and my friend Tibsi with Timtimo, the portions were ideal for filling you up, but the dessert couldn't be missed ;) The black rice with mango sauce was simply fantastically delicious, just like the non-alcoholic cocktails and also the Dju Dju! We would be happy to come back from Zweibrücken to Kaiserslautern at any time, the staff, the ambience and the food are absolutely convincing!

Ein Fruchtbier aus einer Schale trinken, daß Essen mit den Fingern zu sich nehmen, ein tolles Ambiente genießen und von netten Bedienungen kulinarisch verwöhnt werden, dann ist man hier richtig. Ich war sehr angenehm überrascht von den wirklich leckeren Essen und dem guten Bier dazu. Es wird nicht mein letzter Besuch dort gewesen sein. Aufgrund der Größe des Lokals sollte man lieber, grade an den Wochenenden, reservieren. Die Reservierungsbestätigung läßt nicht lange auf sich waren.

I love the food and the restaurant! I highly recommend the appetizer plate and the safari platter! 🧡🤤

The food is very tasty and the waiters are also very friendly. Everything is explained well. Prices are also fair. Also have high chairs for babies. There is also a good selection for vegetarians.

Delicious food with large portion and friendly staff. My first time trying Ethiopian food and I’m happy I came here.

Sind hier erstmals eingekehrt und waren vom feinen „authentischen“ Essen wirklich begeistert. Der Service ist sehr freundlich, die Atmosphäre entspannt und die Preise fair - was will man mehr? Gerne mal wieder ostafrikanisch in Kaiserslautern.

Good food and very friendly host. We'd love to come back.

This is was my second visit and the food was AMAZING as expected. If you’re looking for AUTHENTIC CUISINE then look no further. Also, the staff is always pleasant and professional from the moment you enter the restaurant.

Food was amazing, staff was amazing!!!

Very tasty food, friendly staff. Can only be recommended.

You can't get better food or service in Germany. I told my friend that he'd dance when he ate it and he thought I was crazy. He danced lol. I've been coming for over a year and I crave this place.

Quite tasty food and the staff is very friendly. Definitely a place to go if you are visiting KL.

Der Besuch im Safari war ein kulinarische Gaumenfest für uns. Wir haben bewusst eine Platte mit verschiedenen Gerichten genommen und es war sehr lecker. Das Ambiente war sehr gemütlich und ansprechend. Der Service war herzlich und Hat sich Zeit genommen mit unserem Sohn einen Spaß zu machen. Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen.

Exotic food, beautifully served! Nice and friendly staff. HALAL, vegan, and vegetarian options available. Some dishes are very spicy!!! Ask for advice to avoid the burn! 🤣🔥 Loved the decorations. Don't miss the coffee, very tasty and special 🤩

We had the vegetarian platter for two people. With Timtimo, Alicha, Okra and Shiro. Everything was delicious and highly recommended! African cuisine is of course very diverse and in this case (Ethiopian/Eritrean) an absolute delight. The service was also very good. Friendly, competent and we asked every now and then whether everything was OK. We'll be back, very soon..!

First time I tried Ethiopian food, it was delicious and I would love to come back again. Unique eating experience as you use a flatbread to pickup your food to eat . Nice and spicy with good variety.

Ausgesprochen leckeres afrikanisches Essen mit angenehmer Schärfe! Sehr freundliche Bedienung! Wir kommen gern wieder!

This Ethiopian restaurant is unique and delicious. Highly recommend a visit.

The food was extremely tasty and the service was very nice and explained everything very well 😊 We had the fruit beer with mango and with passion fruit from the traditional bowl 🎊 For the main course we had a vegan and a lamb dish 😊 We traditionally ate with our right hands ✋ At the end we had Ethiopian coffee from a clay pot with (if you wanted) sugar and popcorn 😍

Totally authentic restaurant, very tasty food (especially with your fingers if you want 😉), beer is served in “bowls”, staff are consistently friendly and accommodating. Tip: you should reserve in advance

Yesterday I experienced a new culinary highlight that was unknown to me. African food... Safari Kaiserslautern. Be sure to reserve, otherwise you don't have much chance of getting a table. I don't know what it looks like during the week. But there is a lot going on there on weekends. Staff very friendly. The menu is not overflowing with many dishes containing meat (chicken, lamb and beef), but vegetarians will also get their money's worth. Since many of the dishes were unfamiliar territory for me, the staff helped and explained exactly what they were. Ordered a starter platter and got all the small dishes that were served with a salad. Plus dips. The main course was served in a small oven with the meat still simmering in the sauce. Not only did it look exciting, it also tasted very good. You are served "African flatbread", which reminds us Germans of a pancake that tastes a bit sour. This means that food is traditionally eaten with your fingers. There is still cutlery. You can order side dishes. Absolutely brilliant in taste. If you like it a little spicier, you can use a spicy paste to season it. Afterwards an Ethiopian coffee... Absolutely top price for what you get. In the restaurant there are pictures and decorations that make you feel like you have been transported to East Africa for the duration of your stay. I can recommend Safari to anyone who wants to try something different.

Top Ethiopian / Eritrean food ! Delicious !

There were two of us and we had a very nice evening. The food came quickly and was delicious. Service exemplary and good price/performance ratio. Happy to come back!

If you appreciate African cuisine, this place is a must! Particularly recommended as a starter are the Sambusa (also known as Samosa), which are very tasty. If you come in a group, you should try one of the combination platters. This gives you a very good impression of the diversity of Eritrean cuisine. Afterwards, black rice and a freshly roasted coffee!

Very good food, very friendly staff

Anything but boring. It was very tasty and not overly spicy. Beautifully prepared, very friendly service, we can recommend it 👍🏻

Just something different and very tasty

In my opinion one of the best and most authentic restaurants in Kaiserslautern. Consistently very good quality over the years. A clear recommendation and simply worth an experience!

Super tasty and simply something special! We liked it very much. Attention: some dishes are a bit spicy and overall the food was well/strongly seasoned. However, we found it tip top. Unfortunately, the service wasn't that attentive and we waited for a very, very, very long time - but that didn't detract from the lovely evening.

Es war ein schöner Aufenthalt in einem ungewöhnlichen Restaurant. Das Essen war sehr lecker und authentisch. Man war gehalten mit den Fingern zu essen. Wir hatten uns für eine fleischlastige Vorspeisen- und Hauptgerichtplatte entschieden. Also von Allem etwas! Das Bier wird in Schalen gereicht. Wir kommen wieder.

Ein außergewöhnliches Restaurant! Ein schönes Ambiente und sehr leckeres Essen. Wir haben die vegane Platte gegessen und waren begeistert. Die Portion war sehr groß. Auch zu empfehlen war das Mango Bier, was in einer Schale gereicht wird, sowie der äthiopische Kaffee. Die Bedinung war sehr freundlich. Ist mal etwas anderes zu den herkömmlichen Restaurants. Klare Empfehlung! Wir kommen gerne wieder

An exceptional restaurant! A nice atmosphere and very tasty food. We ate the vegan platter and loved it. The portion was very large. Also recommended was the Mango beer, which is served in a bowl, and the Ethiopian coffee. The service was very friendly. It's something different to conventional restaurants. Clear recommendation! We'd love to come back

Wonderful food and excellent friendly service. We shared the Safari platter for 3, but could've fed 4. Try it, you'll love it!

We were here for the second time today and we are thrilled. We had a mixed platter and found the various dishes really tasty. The Safari Restaurant is highly recommended and the service was also courteous. We were completely satisfied. You're doing everything right. You're welcome to keep it up :)

There were three of us in the restaurant. Found the stay very pleasant. Food was absolutely delicious. Since we couldn't decide, we ordered the meat platter for 3 people. It was slightly spicy but not too much. We were all fed up and will definitely visit this restaurant again.

When I'm in my old home, I always like to be a guest at the safari. The food is just so delicious and suitable for both meat eaters and vegetarians. You can share plates or order something for yourself. You should also try the African beers, whether fruit-flavored or neutral. You should always reserve a table; getting a seat spontaneously is rather difficult. 5 stars from me!

Super delicious African/Eritrean food. You definitely have to try it. In any case, we would be happy to come back. Full recommendation.

I've never eaten African food before and was really pleasantly surprised. It was all very tasty. The food is generally very spicy and slightly spicy. I particularly recommend the following dishes: Sambumsa, Shiro and Zigini Berai The service was also great and the atmosphere was cozy. We'd love to come back!

Very cozy, rather small restaurant. The atmosphere is very nice. The food is incredibly tasty, it's an interesting experience eating it with your hands :) There's a bit of a wait for the food, but it's definitely worth it! Only recommended.

The food is good so far, but it would be great if the spiciness of the food was pointed out...since not everyone can tolerate spiciness. Otherwise great. The coffee is very tasty. The portions are sufficient. The staff are very nice and the beer in different flavors is very interesting.

Nice location, very busy. The food was tasty and plenty We ordered the safari platter so we could try out a larger selection of dishes. Well seasoned but not spicy. Price wise completely ok Gladly again.

Great restaurant, nice ambience, service is very friendly and the food is highly recommended. If you like spicy and well-seasoned food, this is the right place for you.

The food and service were an experience I will always remember. You will not regret eating at this restaurant!

Amazing place, amazing people, best African food in Germany!

We felt very, very comfortable, the food was delicious and the service was really nice. We'd love to come back.

Service and atmosphere was really good. I found the found quite mediocre though!

Inconspicuous, delicious restaurant. The food is very tasty as are the local drinks. Traditionally the beer is served in a bowl. The staff is very friendly, I can only recommend it.

Safari is a superb Eritrean restaurant, serving authentic dishes and exceptional service. The moment we walked in the door, we were greeted like family. Everyone exuded warmth and welcome, with genuine smiles and an obvious love of what they do. My only regret was that I could not finish all my food, because the portion is sizeable, but I will be back.

I just eat Shiro and drank coffee. The Shiro is as authentic as it can get. The atmosphere and staff are really nice.

By far the best restaurant in Kaiserslautern.

The food was super tasty. We had a platter of various dishes. I've never eaten African food so deliciously. The ambience matches the dishes. The waitresses were very nice and quick. All in all, a great experience and highly recommended!

Amazing food and even better service. You can't go wrong picking this place for authorize Ethiopian fine cuisine. Come hungry.

When my nephew suggested Safari Restaurant which primarily serves Ethiopian, and Eritrean food, I was eager and enthusiastic to visit it because the last time I tasted Ethiopian food during our Cape to Cairo road expedition, I liked had liked it. Of course, during that expedition, we were fortunate enough to get an opportunity to taste authentic Ethiopian food by the Ethiopian chefs in Ethiopia itself. One of the reasons I liked Ethiopian food could perhaps be that like Indians, Ethiopians also like it spicy. Though the spices they add in their preparations are different than the ones used by the Indians, the net result is the same, they make them taste mouth wateringly hot and spicy. Additionally, the Ethiopian bread called 'Injera' made from the teff flour (similar to a crêpe) is very similar to the bread prepared in Southern India called 'Dosa.' We visited 'Safari Restaurant' on a weekday evening. It wasn't crowded at all. The interior was well lit, and decorated on the African theme. We were immediately seated at a table for two, and handed over two menu cards. Menu was nicely printed with local names of the dishes along with their respective ingredients and short descriptions, and photos. It helped a lot. I ordered "Tsebhi Derho with Alicha" for myself, whereas my nephew ordered "Zigni Denish with Shiro" for him. According to the menu, "Tsebhi Derho with Alicha" means Chicken drumstick and boiled egg slow cooked in a light spicy onion tomate sauce, seasoned and refined in the traditional way; it includes side salad and three Injeras, and "Zigni Denish with Shiro" means Beef and potato cubes slow cooked in a slightly spicy onion and tomato sauce, seasoned and refined in traditional way; it includes side salad and three Injeras. To drink, we also ordered beverages "Shirley Temple" (Ginger Ale, Sprite, grenadine, lemon) for me, and "Virgin Caipirinha" (Ginger Ale, lime, brown sugar) for my nephew to go with it. Our orders were delivered without much wait. They looked appealing and appetizing. We ate our dishes with hands like we eat dosa. The food was good. We both enjoyed our respective dishes, and drinks.

Mega delicious and special food that definitely deserves more than just an experience. Will definitely come back. The atmosphere is also very pleasant and, contrary to previous fears, it is not kitschy, but appropriate.

Good food, good atmosphere and nice Service. Completely satisfied.

The environment made me relive a trip to Africa that I took this summer. The restaurant is family-run and you can tell by the care of the treatment and the kindness of the staff. The quality of the food is phenomenal and the portions are truly generous. It was an authentic dinner and a unique experience.

Very, very friendly staff who explain everything, which is especially helpful if you're eating there for the first time! Definitely not the last visit for me

We had a wonderful evening, the food and service were perfect!

Totally delicious food! Perfect for vegetarians or vegans but meat lovers won't be disappointed either. Fast, friendly service and a totally relaxed and cozy atmosphere. The portions are also very generous.

Delicious food, some things are spicy but exactly my thing 😋 wholesome food where you are full and feel good afterwards. Been there several times and will come again 😊 The only negative point is the parking

A super-great and original meal that is unfortunately all too rare in Germany. We enjoyed it very much, it looked wonderful to the eye and we will definitely be back and want to try the menu up and down...

Been there for the first time. Recommendation from my agency. More than positively surprised, super friendly reception, felt very comfortable. The waiters and owners were very friendly and attentive. No waiting time; the food was excellent, tasty, fresh, absolutely recommended. We will be back. Thank you for the lovely evening safari ♥️

The couscous was very good and the African red wine 👍🏾 Thank you my friends it was perfect

Sehr leckeres Essen zu günstigen Preisen 👍

The food, atmosphere, and service was great! They made my birthday dinner a success!

Ein sehr schönes , authentisches Restaurant mit sehr leckerem Essen und tollem Service. Preis - Leistung passt absolut! Vorher Tisch reservieren, da das Restaurant selbst unter der Woche gut besucht ist . Wir kommen gerne wieder, da wir einen phantastischen Abend dort verbracht haben und der afrikanischen Küche näher gekommen sind, die wir nun kennen und lieben gelernt haben. Unbedingt, wie in Afrika wohl üblich, mit den Fingern essen und das Fruchtbier aus der Holzschale trinken 😉 Macht Laune !!

Schön eingerichtetes Lokal,sehr nettes Personal und Essen war sehr gut....kommen sicher wieder

Sehr leckeres authentisches Essen, sehr nettes Personal

Ich war schon zweimal dort. Sehr nettes Personal und für den Preis gute Portionen! Einziger Makel sind die sehr süßen Getränke aber grundsätzlich gerne wieder

Das zweite Mal afrikanisch essen gewesen. War zuvor in Köln gewesen und wollte mit Freunden das Restaurant Safari testen. Sehr freundlicher Empfang und Bedienung. Ambiete typisch afrikanisch mit nicht störender afrikanischer Musik. Einzigartige Biere in verschiedenen Geschmacksrichtungen und leckere Cocktails. Essen reichlich, nicht zu scharf und geschmacklich gab es bei allen Gerichten nur Lob. Wir werden wieder kommen.

Das beste was ich sagen kann ich daß ich bedauere nicht bereits früher dort gewesen zu sein. Das Essen ist sehr gut und wir waren alle begeistert. Die Mitarbeiter die wir erleben durften waren alle sehr nett und kompetent. Kann ich nur empfehlen

Gutes Essen in schönem Ambiente. Das Essen war scharf, muss man mögen. Ein Hinweis auf der Speisekarte zu den scharfen Speisen wäre sinnvoll.

Ich bin immer noch geflasht, das Essen mega lecker, die Menschen super freundlich. Getränke waren auch sehr lecker und eine große Auswahl. Der Nachtisch ein Gedicht. Preis Leistung genau richtig. Es war ein super Erlebnis und kommen wieder
