Watan - Afghanisches Restaurant in Darmstadt

Tastes very good. The wait is a bit long, though. But otherwise, it's great 👌

Extremely delicious and authentic. The sheer yakh and chapli kebab are highly recommended.

★☆☆☆☆ – Very disappointing We went to the Wataen restaurant with friends and were unfortunately very disappointed. The food was cold, and the meat had an unpleasant smell. The overall taste was poor, and we could barely enjoy the meal. Absolutely unacceptable for the price. Unfortunately, we would not recommend it.

Qabuli didn't taste anything like it used to. The waitress didn't know how to speak to the customer at all.

We love the food at Watan. It's typical Afghan food and very tasty. Freshly prepared. The ice cream and Ferni are also delicious. We highly recommend it.

Very tasty food. Highly recommended. Chapal kebab are the best. A must try.

The food was very bad, cooked too quickly and the meat was not cooked through.....

Why are the dishes on your site more expensive than on Lieferando, and why is the minimum order value €50? Go back to normal, this is too much.

This is my first time I came from USA to Germany I heard a lot about your restaurant honestly food was delicious beautiful environment but I saw no one clean the table I was sit it wast dirty and one of the female waitress lady she was coming late to take my order besides that I requested to clean my table but unfortunately with bad behavior she response me to let me sit in another table please advise your employment to make her behavior with customers thanks

Delicious food with huge portions. One of the best kabuli Pulao!

The service and food were excellent. I highly recommend a visit.

As always, everything was great

A place where you can enjoy your tasty Asian food in peaceful atmosphere. Prices are reasonable.

Delicious food. Good selection. You can sit outside. Drinks are a bit expensive.

The portion was huge and the taste was amazing! Update August 17, 2025: I ordered two pilaws from Wolt. The price remained the same, but the portion was half the size! Couldn't the manager explain this? Update August 18, 2025: I called the staff on duty, and they were very friendly. Hopefully, I won't have the same experience again next time.

Large portions, very tasty and clean restaurant, friendly staff. I will definitely go again 😋

The restaurant has excellent and delicious food and a beautiful atmosphere. The service is also friendly and exceptional.

Super delicious food, our taxi driver Mr Kyper recommended it to us and went with us, it was wonderful, such great food, we would love to come back.

Excellent restaurant with incredibly delicious food. Thank you, Mr. Khyber, for this recommendation. We'll be happy to come back.

This restaurant offers great food.

Excellent food, generous portion sizes, we couldn’t finish it all… Economical compare to many restaurants we tried in many European countries as a tourist from North America. Only issue is most people don’t speak English so it’s a bit hard to communicate if you don’t speak German.

Delicious and flavour food, the biryani was hot and amazing! 🌶️ The vege sambosa needs improvement, and the mango juice was salty so we returned it. Loved the refreshing cardamom ice cream! Staff were super helpful, but the restaurant was extremely hot inside. With hot dishes being served, the high temperature made it uncomfortable to enjoy the meal. A cooler environment would make the experience much better.

I visited the Watan restaurant in Darmstadt and I can honestly say: I've rarely had such good Afghan food. As soon as you walk in, you notice the attention to detail. The decor is simple yet stylish – with traditional rugs and subtle ornamentation, without seeming kitschy. The food was the absolute highlight for me. I was particularly impressed by the Qabuli Palau: tender, perfectly cooked lamb that practically fell off the bone, combined with aromatic rice, raisins, and roasted carrots. The flavor is slightly sweet yet spicy – exactly what you'd want. The Mantu, steamed dumplings with a meat filling, were also incredibly good. The dough was thin and soft, the filling moist and richly seasoned, and the yogurt sauce rounded it all off perfectly. The kebabs were also excellent – perfectly grilled, well-seasoned, slightly crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. What I particularly liked were the little details that are taken care of here: fresh ingredients, homemade sauces, a crusty bread basket that's always served fresh. The salad wasn't just a sloppy side salad, but crisp and freshly dressed. The service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. You can tell that it's important to the people here that their guests feel comfortable. The overall atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant – perfect for enjoying good food in peace. All in all, my visit to the Vatan restaurant was a complete success. If you like Afghan cuisine or just want to try something new, this is the place for you. I definitely recommend it!

Went there for the first time today. Lots of selection and super delicious, fresh food. We'll definitely be back again.

Good quality service. Restaurant was kept clean and the food was great.

We ordered for pickup via Uber Eats, and the food was ready just 15 minutes later! And it was absolutely delicious. Great seasoning, pleasantly spicy, etc. I especially liked the chickpea curry with rice. I definitely recommend it.

As an Afghan, I've tried many Afghan restaurants, but this one was truly amazing! Delicious food and friendly service – highly recommended.

Foodis tasty i tried Afghani pulao, i quantity is alot in low price. Atmosphere is also nice peaceful.

The three of us waited 40 minutes for our food. When the rice arrived, the expensive mahiche palaw, there was a hair in the rice. When I called the waiter and told him, he said, "What should I do now, brother?" And there was silence, without any insight or remorse. He probably expected me to eat the food. Then, after five minutes, a waiter came and offered me the same dish. I declined because I'd lost my appetite. The first waiter said it was probably a waiter's dish, even though you can see from the photo that it was already cooked.

Super neat and clean restaurant. Pleasant service, very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the Afghan 2-person dish kabul pilav, a rice with warm herbs (not spicy), carrot and raisins with 2 delicious lamb legs where the meat comes off the bone so perfectly hidden in it. This was served with some small side dishes such as salad, beans and green tasty spicy and spicy sauce. As a drink we had the delicious Afghan green tea. We loved it and enjoyed it enormously! Everything really great! The portion is really perfect and more than enough. We will definitely come back if we drive past here again. The prices were very acceptable for what you get. Thanks again!

Very good. 100% recommendation, delicious, something unusual, and, as far as I know, authentically traditional.

Ordered online 2 hours ago and it hasn't arrived

A little out of the way, in a place where you wouldn't expect this restaurant. Plenty is served and at a pleasant price-performance ratio! Gladly again❣

A great place to eat Afghan food. I recommend it to friends.

The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is when it comes to eating, it depends on what you order. The meat dishes are extremely top class in every respect. The meat is buttery tender and melts in your mouth. The Indian dishes like butter chicken are not recommended. The portions of the mantu (dumplings) are really far too small. But all meat dishes were extremely good. I really enjoy eating there. A recommendation from me.

The best Afghan restaurant in whole Germany❤️🇦🇫

Very disappointing! The food clearly wasn't fresh - the meat was tough, the rice had an odd taste, and overall everything seemed like it had been cooked for two days. Unfortunately not a good experience. Not recommended.”

We went here today for ice cream, but it tasted absolutely disgusting. The ice cream was sticky, had hardly any sugar, and you couldn't eat more than three teaspoons because it was so inedible. So my tip for you: don't buy Afghan ice cream here; it's a waste of money on garbage. This restaurant isn't even worth one star, and besides, we had to wait 45 minutes for the ice cream to even arrive. We were extremely disappointed in the end.

Very delicious food, great service and lovely ambience ✨

We were there today for Iftar essek and the food was very tasty. For the price, the selection and quality of the food is top, there were 3 meat dishes and 2 vegetarian ones with starter and dessert. The service was very nice and courteous and worked calmly and pleasantly despite the many visitors.

Very tasty food in a friendly atmosphere. There is currently a buffet at sunset that you can take part in, alternatively I could have chosen something from the menu.

First and last time, I wanted to try for the first time the Kabab but the meat was absolutely disgusting and green, it smelled like a mess and rice was stinky with no taste and salt, never again!

Update March 1, 2025 I was actually a big fan of this store! Delivery only! Have ordered often. Yesterday I also ordered, there was only bones in Qabuli, for 12 euros is incomprehensible! Ordered again today. Burnt kofta, spinach only consisted of salt. And again Qabuli was boneless today, but only fat and indefinable stuff! It's a shame that they don't make any effort and the quality is very poor!! For That's done for me too for now!

Delicious food, nice staff, clean bathrooms, good music A bit spicy

Tried something special for my 11th birthday and ate it on a sofre on the carpet at Watan. Chicken and meatballs, both Afghan seasoned. The service was extremely friendly. Gladly again!!!

Schmek very tasty 👍 I recommend it to everyone

Excellent food, very good quality, homemade, huge portions

It was our first time eating at Watan and we were very pleasantly surprised! Very tasty, fresh food and friendly staff. We would love to come back!

I ordered takeaway food The food was actually good However, I couldn't enjoy it because the packaging is made of aluminum and the food had really absorbed the flavor from the aluminum. This packaging is not acceptable for health reasons, but I won't deduct a star from it. One star deducted because of the green pointed peppers that were smeared with yogurt even though mine doesn't contain any yogurt This strongly suggests that these peppers were simply taken from another dish and placed on my food. This is very unhygienic

Very friendly service, food served quickly and fresh. Highly recommended 😊👍🏼

Friendly, Clean Highly recommended

Very tasty food. I ordered the lamb korma and the meatballs, both were seasoned perfectly. The lamb was also tender.

Mega! Very tasty and great ambience. It's a little smaller inside than it looks outside 😄

I would happily recommend this great restaurant

One of the best Afghani cuisines in Germany 👍🏻👌🏼🌹🙏🏻

Wonderful food and environment, very appropriate price.

I recently ordered and it arrived on time and was very tasty. I recommend the biryani to you ❤️

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive.

In the future, a shoe box should be placed next to the traditional seat. The last time we felt sick was the smell of shoes taken off at our table. I no longer had any appetite. A small shoe cabinet would be nice so you don't have to smell the cheese feet.

Ideally I would give 6 stars! The food is incredibly delicious

I am sure that I have never eaten anything that was prepared with more taste and love than what I was able to enjoy here.

Amazing, authentic Afghan food. And if necessary Pasta Bolognese for the kids 😉

Tastes delicious Price performance fits LG Hotel

Freshly prepared and with a delicious taste. We hadn't planned to eat there but it was a great find.

It was empty. But it was very good. I can only recommend it!

Totally surprising how delicious this place is!

Very tasty food can only be recommended!

I always enjoy going to Watan, the price-performance ratio is definitely right and the taste is great too. In my opinion the restaurant deserves more attention 👍🏽

All I can say is that the food is incredibly tasty, but most of the dishes contain hot peppers. Other than that, everything is delicious, the atmosphere is calm, the service is excellent and the staff are extremely friendly. I highly recommend it

Intentionally the best restaurant in the Frankfurt area!

The food is very tasty, the staff are friendly, the food was brought to our place quickly but it is very expensive.

Very friendly staff. Food quality is also very good. Come again...

Food was good, should work on the better look of resturaunt.

Firtst time trying Afghani food. Ate everyday for 2 weeks straight. The variety and taste were so good I wouldn't mind eating there for months on end.

The food was very tasty and fair prices

Afghan traditional food is really delicious. Qabili for €12 with all side dishes. Full recommendation for family reunions.

The food here is excellent. It reminded me of my homeland. The service was very friendly. I will definitely come with my family next time.

The food tastes really good and the portions are large, we always enjoy going there.

This place is more than just a restaurant – it is a little oasis of enjoyment. Whether for a romantic dinner, a relaxed meeting with friends or just to do something good for yourself - every visit here becomes a special experience. An absolute must for anyone who appreciates culinary delights at the highest level.

Very friendly service. Mantu and lamb skewer of very good quality. Absolutely recommended

The food is excellent and delicious. Excellent service, nice and friendly staff and most of all, your restaurant is very nice and stylish.

That was really a shame. I've never seen such a bad Afghan restaurant. We once ordered and waited after 1 hour when this woman comes and says (we have the order Not And another time I was there for qabuli the food was full of salt and fat they just wanted to collect money I wouldn't recommend going there.

Very friendly run restaurant. The dishes on the small but delicious menu are freshly prepared. We had vegetarian and meat dishes and were all more than satisfied. Portions are reasonable, well seasoned. The guest room and toilets are very clean. We hope that even more guests discover this hidden gem for themselves. We'd love to come back.

I love rice with raisins and carrots and meat or without. Typical Afghan dish.

The food, the service and everything was great. Highly Recommended.

Was there with my family when we were on vacation. Very nice staff and delicious food! If we are in Germany again we will definitely come back! I love Afghan cuisine!!

We now come here from Hanau twice a month. For us the best Afghan restaurant in the area. Try it out, it's worth it.

Thank you very much it was very tasty. The service was top. Always happy ☺️

The service was very friendly and the food also tasted very good. I would recommend it to everyone

Very clean Friendly staff and the food tastes very good. We will be back definitely

It was a nice ambience The Afghn Burger Mantu, Chapli Kabab and…….. everything was delicious And friendly service Thanks for everything OYOSHI

Very tasty food. Mahicha Pallaw.

I would prefer to give 0 stars. IT CAN'T BE WORSE! 1. the service was catastrophic 2. Due to the food no longer being available, some dishes could not be ordered 3. When we wanted to order RICE instead of BREAD (which was rock hard, by the way), we were told that this wasn't possible. Although that would at least be a compromise. 4. There was no more Coke according to the waiter but on the other round he took 2 Coke bottles out of the fridge to bring to the customer next to us?! incomprehensible!!! 5. When we wanted to call the waiter to at least bring us fresh bread instead of this hard bread, we were ignored by the waiter three times. TOTALLY UNHEARED! Unfortunately, the food isn't particularly delicious either. The waiter should first learn the job. NO RECOMMENDATION especially the service is outrageous and unfriendly

Everything was great, very tasty.😜😜😜😜

Amazing food I like it so much

I was there with a companion on Thursday March 28th, 2024 and I really have to say the food was very good and really tasty and the service was very friendly

Friendly service, pleasant atmosphere...

Large portions of food👌🏻 Delicious!

The food was very tasty and is definitely worth a visit, the service was friendly but very inattentive, the drinks were sometimes empty in 40 minutes... But I recommend that all visitors try bolani, which were stuffed flatbreads. I had one filled with potatoes and one filled with leeks and chilies. You can tell from the restaurant that a lot of things were done on their own, but that doesn't bother you.

Exceptional food with a special spice. We had sambosa with poultry and “Kofta” spicy and delicious. The dessert as ice cream is a poem for lovers of rice pudding😉. The obligatory black tea with cardamom invites you to linger. Very friendly team.
