Savanna Restaurant Frankfurt in Frankfurt am Main

A cute little restaurant with delicious food. You eat at tables and not sitting on the floor, which was really great for me with knee problems. We were even able to have a large record put together.

Super delicious authentic African food and very nice service. We always like to come here when we are traveling in Frankfurt.

Went there for the first time last night and can absolutely recommend the restaurant. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is cozy. The food was delicious and authentic. The price was reasonable: with 1x starter, 2x main course, 2x dessert and 4x drinks we came to €75. We also had a great conversation with the owner, who really shows her passion for the restaurant. Gladly again!

Savanna is a place which gives you enough space to have good discussions with your partners and friends . The food is amazing. Download Google lens to translate the German menu to English and order the platter as in the picture . The owner supports as much as she can . Eritrean food for an Indian is like Neer dosa and multiple curries .. You can order extra dosa type food and also do try lamb curry which you can order separately .. can be 1/2 portions too … You have so many vegetarian and vegan options The interiors are well done showcasing culture . Toilet door lock is unique 🙃 Overall a good experience and worth a try …

I was very disappointed with my visit to this African restaurant. The treatment of the guests left a lot to be desired. The service wasn't friendly. Questions about the dishes were downright unwelcome - it was as if they didn't want to bother explaining the dishes to me in more detail. About the food itself: Unfortunately, most of the food was tasteless, especially the rice which tasted like water. I was looking forward to authentic and flavorful African cuisine, but the food was bland and lacked depth. Overall the experience was disappointing and I definitely won't be returning.

I walked in drawn by the “East African” sign . The Chef/owner/sever lady introduced her Eritrean heritage . Very tasty spinach - lamb main dish with a refreshing salad

Excellent food from a very nice owner who cooks herself! Fantastic!

Very tasty food. No matter whether small or large portion. Preo's performance is okay if you know that the ingredients come from Africa. Recommended.

I really like the food and the ambience! Unfortunately, the store is usually very busy and you have to expect long waiting times. It is advisable to book a table in advance, but service at the table is not always the fastest. Nevertheless, I can only recommend eating here once :) Tip: coming a little earlier and avoiding the crowds is always better there.

It was a perfect match. The condition is very nice and pretty. As does the facility. And... The food is very good. Always a pleasure.

Very nice atmosphere, delicious food and very nice service. Can be recommended.

Were there for the first time today. The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was very appealing and the service was top notch. We really felt like we were visiting friends. In any case, we will be back as there is still a lot to discover on the menu.

As a guest you feel very comfortable here because the service responds to the guests' wishes and is also very friendly. Here you can see that gastronomy is alive and well. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, so many people can follow their example. The food is consistently good and lives up to its price. There is nothing to complain about here and I will come back.

It's a nice, cozy place, I was there with my girlfriend. The hostess is very friendly. The food was delicious and plentiful, we would love to come back!

Starter has almost no seasoning at all (nothing that was on the plate). Meat dishes are quite well seasoned, but portions are far too small - basically a blob on the flatbread without which you would never be full. So completely overpriced.

Very tasty food and super friendly service.

Recently visited this restaurant. It was a great evening with really good food. Despite acute understaffing (short-term absence) the kitchen staff gave 100 percent and, despite the challenging situation, dishes from the specialty menu were still prepared for us despite their complexity. The waitress helped in the kitchen throughout the evening and still ensured smooth service for the guests. The possibly longer serving times announced as a precautionary measure did not exist. Nevertheless, the food came to the table quickly. Thank you. We would be happy to come back next time we visit Frankfurt. Price note: Price-performance ratio is good. We had 2 starters, a bottle of wine, a large bottle of water, 2 main courses, an African coffee for 2 people and 1 dessert, which is why the price per person is of course higher. By the way, everything was very good🤗 We left the restaurant full. Were always treated kindly.

Absolutely fantastic, very authentic food. Super friendly service. We're always happy to come back!

Small portions for big money! Unfriendly owner is free! We had dinner last night in the Savanna restaurant and were disappointed (after a long wait) by the small, poorly prepared portion size, which was disproportionate to the price. I reported back that the portion (chickpeas with rice) was so small that I wasn't full. The management then replied with an annoyed expression that I was probably too hungry. A good service would have offered to bring another portion. Paying 15.90 euros and leaving the restaurant hungry is more than annoying! After my companion reported back that she would like criticism to be dealt with in a friendly, professional manner, the owner left the table complaining. We can't shake the feeling that the extremely positive reviews are bought. We're definitely not coming back!

Real Ethiopian cuisine, in-house Ethiopian. Honey wine with food - it couldn't be better. You eat with your right hand, so no jewelry. Prices are okay, nice, quick service. We recommend .

Very tasty food, everything was very fresh. The owner is very friendly and accommodating. Price performance great. Nice atmosphere :) We'd love to come back!

Hostess was super nice. The food was really tasty and the portions were sufficient. We ordered 3 plates and the four of us were really full. Definitely coming back :)

It is advisable to reserve a table. We were warmly welcomed and the service was extremely friendly and accommodating. Everything was well explained! The food was very good. We will definitely come back to try the many other delicious dishes. Thanks

Incredibley ignorant woman working here

Great taste experience. We recommend. It's best to go early in the evening, then there are only a few people there and it is quiet in the dining room

We enjoyed the dinner very much. The service was really very good, they really took the time to give advice when choosing what to order and the ambience is also nice. We'll be back and can recommend it.

I love the ambience of being able to eat with my hands!! The boss herself is still in the kitchen, so the food is a real pleasure. It's also very well prepared. I'm there often and have tried various dishes. Be sure to reserve on weekends. I recommend the mixed platter with meat. There are also vegan dishes!!

I love this Restaurant I go there rarely top food & service

Schlecht unfreundlich und das essen nicht lecker für mich Ich persönlich würde da nicht mehr hingehen. Sorry

I have been here a number of times and always loved the food and the atmosphere. The service today (in a total empty restaurant at 8pm) did not want to let us sit where we wanted to sit though it was not reserved(at least no sign of reservation) without any reason. Hence 1 star for the service.

Sehr nett und das Ambiente gemütlich. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Das Essen war leider sehr enttäuschend. Abgesehen davon, dass einige produkte, wie die salat sauce oder der spinat wie aus der Tüte geschmeckt haben, war auch ansonsten das essen zu langweilig und auch nicht warm genug. Geschmacklich dachten wir, sind wir bei einem Inder mit unter anderem deutschen Gerichten. Die Atmosphäre ware leider nicht existent. Das restaurant war leer, es gab keine musik und dadurch hatte man das Gefühl nicht reden zu können, ohne das einer der wenigen anderen Gäste alles mithören kann. Der Service ist auch stark optimierbar gewesen. Von teilweise langen Wartezeiten in einem leeren Restaurant, hin zu ungeschultem Personal war alles dabei. Das einzig positive war der Rotwein, der das ganze erträglich gemacht hat. Keine Ahnung wie dieses Restaurant diese Bewertungen hier erhalten hat, aber leider hat es nicht mehr als 2 Sterne verdient.

Eines von wenigen Restaurants in Frankfurt, in dem man wirklich qualitatives und leckeres Essen bekommt. Sehr nettes Personal, denke alles familiär, und das Essen war sooo lecker ❤️ Danke Savanna Restaurant

Nach langer Zeit mal wieder da gewesen, aber unverändert gut. Dazu eine sehr nette und zuvorkommende Bedienung. Und ja, man sollte kein Problem mit scharfen Gerichten haben, sonst ist man etwas eingeschränkt.

Portion size smaller than other african places

Schöne Einrichtung und auch recht leckeres Essen, aber Hauptspeise leider zu wenig um satt zu werden (sogar mit Nachtisch), für den stolzen Preis

Tolles Restaurant. Besonders die Vorspeise konnte überzeugen. Sehr freundliche Bedienung.

Authentische Restaurant mit sehr freundlicher Bedienung. Das Essen war sehr gut, nur am Ambiente könnte man etwas machen.

Really great little find, highly recommended!

Das Essen und die Erfahrung war super. Leider war die Wartezeit ziemlich lang wegen wahrscheinlichem Personalmangel (es gibt nur eine Frau zum Bedienen). Man muss einfach die Geduld und Zeit haben. Gerne wieder :)

Das Essen war unglaublich lecker, die Dame von der Bedienung war sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Das Savanna kann ich nur weiterempfehlen!

Waren hier schon ein paar Mal und es hat uns immer gut gefallen. Freundliche Bedienung und leckeres Essen. Nehmen immer zu zweit eine große gemischte Platte. Im Sommer gibt es einen kleinen Außenbereich im Hof.

Wir hatten eine vegetarische Vorspeisenplatte, ein vegetarisches Linsengericht und Lamm mit Okra; danach waren wir pappsatt. Alles hervorragend gewürzt - sehr lecker! Den traditionellen Kaffee sollte man auch nicht verpassen. Super freundliche Bedienung, angenehmes Lokal. Wir kommen ganz sicher wieder.

Sehr herzlicher und freundlicher Service. Man fühlt sich direkt willkommen! Das Essen war sehr, sehr lecker. Tolle Gerichte mit wirklich leckeren Aromen. Herzhaft, schmackhaft und merklich mit Liebe zubereitet. Die Herzlichkeit des Service findet sich auf den Tellern wieder. Tipp: den traditionellen Kaffee darf man nicht verpassen!

I've been several times over the past few years and I would say that they managed to keep a very high standard. No gimmicks, just very good food and very nice service. There are a few tables set outside in the back that are quite nice and shaded. I would recommend this place to virtually everybody.

Es ist hier ein klein wenig teurer als bei vergleichbaren Restaurants, entsprechend ist aber auch der Service und das Essen aus unserer Sicht besser, weshalb dieses Restaurant unsere 1. Wahl ist, wenn wir afrikanisch Essen gehen wolle :)

Alles bestens, sehr freundliches Personal. Gemischte Platte wurde auf Wunsch angepasst :)

Sehr leckeres Essen in schönem, authentischem Ambiente :)

Delicious food at reasonable prices. The service was also amazing. Definitely would recommend to anyone. Will go again.

Kleines, gemütliches Lokal, traditionell eingerichtet und auch die Speisen sind super. Vorher Tisch bestellen ist angeraten. Lokal liegt günstig, in wenigen Minuten ist man im Zentrum.

Ganz tolles Restaurant. Wir hatten zum Essen eine Platte für Zwei. Die Auswahl war gut. Die Preise sind für Frankfurter Verhältnisse gut. Auf der Platte war Rind, Spinat, Weißkohl, Linsen & Salat. Wir haben nicht alles geschafft zu essen, so viel sei gesagt. Ganz großes Lob auch für die Toiletten. Diese waren extrem sauber und hatte durch eine Duftkerze einen super Geruch. 👍 Die Chefin hat uns hier auch bedient und ist super freundlich. 😊 Kann das Restaurant definitiv empfehlen.

Sehr lecker! Ich komme immer wieder

Herrliche Speisen, sehr freundlicher, aufmerksamer Service. Leider war das Essen nicht mehr richtig heiß, deshalb nur 4 Sterne. Der afrikanische Rotwein war sehr gut, aber etwas zu kalt. Der Espresso war mir persönlich zu sauer. Trotzdem werden wir wieder kommen- alleine schon für den köstlichen Nachtisch: Creme Brûleé mit Amarula!

Sehr leckeres Essen, große Portionen und eine sehr nette Besitzerin. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen!

Super lecker, gute Auswahl. Nette Inhaberin!

Sehr leckere essen doch haben wir sehr lange auf unser Essen warten müssen

kleines aber feines Restaurant mit gemütlicher Atmosphäre. Die Speisen sind authentisch und ansprechend angerichtet. Preise sind für die Qualität absolut im Rahmen. Wir waren zu zweit da, und kommen sicherlich wieder.

Super cozy restaurant! We went there at a rainy day and siting at the window looking outside. Good friendly service. We ordered the dish for two, so we can try everything, lamb is specially tasty and the rest as well. Price is fair.
