Watan Restaurant in Leipzig

I discovered the restaurant on my day trip to Leipzig. Truly an insider tip. Super delicious vegetarian food, friendly service and a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Food was super tasty! Have been there several times now and can particularly recommend Bolani, Aubergine Polo and Ashak. Everything was delicious and the service was very friendly. There are also many vegan options :)

One of my favourite restaurants in Leipzig, it feels like homey, cozy, the food is Bio and healthy, they have Iranian and afghan food, and the workers are really sweet and friendly.

Super delicious food. Always order Kabuli with veal and kofta here. Finally a good Afghan restaurant in Leipzig :)

From the outside it looks like a snack bar, but from the inside it's totally cozy. Food and service is super good! 6 out of 5 stars... really recommended!!!

The food was very hot and tasted really good 👍👌 very tasty 👍

Super delicious food! Staff is very friendly!

Good food, large portions, nice people and the tips benefit people in Afghanistan. A visit is worth it.

It's super delicious! I highly recommend the place to everyone!

delicious food and nice service. Very relaxed atmosphere.

Top food, very healthy and tasty ;)

nice little snack bar, everything is freshly prepared

Small shop that looks more like a fast food restaurant from the outside. It's cozy inside and the food is great. The menu is small, but with vegan dishes as well as meat and children's dishes. Very tasty and not too expensive. The food came quickly, but there was a bit of a wait for the cashier and the second round of drinks. Overall, highly recommended!

One of the gems of Leipzig. Beautifully decorated, big dishes, and amazing tasty food. 100% recommended

Super delicious vegetarian food. Number 13: Ashak. Cooked with love. A cozy family-run Afghan restaurant.

Delicious food, great portions and reasonable prices. Worth every visit

A cozy little family-run restaurant. We'd love to come back! The prices are very reasonable and the food is absolutely delicious.

I haven't eaten as deliciously as I did here in a long time. The Bolani was incomparable – I'll happily order it again when I'm there again. Highly recommended!

The food simply has soul. Taste is great! The sauces and dips have the perfect seasoning. I'm thrilled!

We got delivery from this restaurant. It was very delicious and quick in terms of delivery. Friendly staff and good quality of food. Highly recommend

The lady was visibly overwhelmed! Small bowl of lentil soup didn't taste good at all! I tried seasoning it! Very carelessly prepared! Then €5.50 for a vegetarian soup! Not again!!!

Freshly prepared Boloni with thin dough and finely seasoned contents brought me joy. That motivated me to order a Mantu. That was a step up and then I tried Kabuli with great seasoned basmati rice. Thank you very much, I have a great feeling and you gave my group a great taste experience.

The food was good, especially the dumplings, the lamb was well grilled but tough, the lamb and veal balls much better, the olta peppers disappointing, a Persian salad without pomegranate seeds is strange, but what's really annoying: there is no toilet.

You can experience the best national and Afghan food with its real taste in this restaurant. I was a guest of this restaurant one day and I wish to go there all the time.

The food is delicious and cheap. The service is very good and friendly.

I think I'm crazy?! I called and just asked if their meat was halal and what certificate they had for it and immediately I was insulted, "are you stupid or am I stupid..." Wow! doesn't work at all

Being familiar with the menu, I ordered Watani kebab and was satisfied with it. The traditional Afghani decoration and cosy environment was nice. The price for a good meal is around 15 Euro which is reasonable. If you don't compare it to a fancy restaurant and also know what to order, it's worth trying.

The best kebab, really delicious

Watan Restaurant is the best restaurant, really great food, tasty, very friendly staff

Super delicious food. There are also vegan and vegetarian dishes :) Particularly great: the vegan Bolani with hot sauce.

very tasty food! always my pleasure :)

This is very tasty food! This tastes like home ❤️

The food is extremely tasty, the prices are fair and the owner and her husband are super sweet

Food arrived cold, 30 minutes late and you forgot 1 dish.

I had dinner here the other night and, first of all, this is not a restaurant but an imbiss, there is not even a toilet. The first impact is not positive, there is an intense smell of carpet which does not help the appetite, and it does not give a sense of cleanliness. The menu is illustrated as in all imbiss on a banner placed above the counter and there is no correspondence between the pictures and what you will receive at your table: I ordered lamb with herbs and ate practically only the herbs and those herbs were inedible (it tatsted like tobacco and the dish was black!). It was served with boiled white rice and salad dressed with water and salt. I felt like I was eating the prisoner's plate, I was speachless. Unfortunately, it was a bad experience, and I am sorry because I am always happy to support small gastronomic realities but here incompetence and laziness do not deserve to be rewarded.

Super delicious food, super loving service. We would love to come to Leipzig again.

Very tasty food and very friendly staff.

The food here is super delicious 😋 My recommendation: Bolani. Simply stunning, simply gorgeous!

Food was very tasty. The staff was also very friendly and we didn't have to wait long for our food. We will be back.

Ein kleines afghanisches Restaurant mit leckerem Essen und freundlichem Personal.

Das Essen war gut und köstlich. Und der Ort fühlte sich auch gut an.

غذا خیلی خوش مزه هم خیلی مهربان بودند سر از مه. خیلی تشکر

Leckeres Essen, sehr kühles Ambiente

A nice and cozy place. Meals are tasty. The owner is very polite and friendly, he also supports Ukraine, so if you are from Ukraine and don't know where to go, then you can visit this place.

immer wieder leckeres Essen und so freundliche Bedienung! vor allem das Bolani ist zu empfehlen, es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall hier essen zu gehen.

Si eres español te recomiendo venir a este restaurante. Te hacen sentir como en casa desde el primer momento y la comida es espectacular. Sin duda volveré en la próxima visita a Leipzig

The food is very delicious. And the service is excellent

Vor einigen Wochen zufällig entdeckt und lecker gegessen. Heute war ich wieder hier und war wieder sehr zufrieden. Schmackhafte und authentische Küche, sehr freundlich und sehr zu empfehlen!

Super authentische, handgemachte Küche. Eine Bereicherung für das kulinarische Connewitz

Ich habe am Samstag mal mittags Essen bestellt, weil der Arbeitstag noch lang dauern sollte und dachte ich probiere mal etwas Neues aus. Und es war extrem LECKER! Ich hatte "Manto" :-). Mal schauen, wann es wieder so klappt!

It was really good, fresh and homemade. Looking forward to eating there again.

Sehr leckeres Essen , frisch zubereitet, große Portionen, sehr freundlich

Das Auberginengericht ist sehr lecker :) Schön, dass es wieder gutes Essen in Connewitz geben kann!

We just arrived after a long day on the road and accidentally found this authentic restaurant. The owner was very friendly and family like and gave us some recommendations. It was lovely and I can really recommend this restaurant.

Die besten Falafel der Stadt serviert von sehr nettem Gastgeber! Top Laden!

The food is great, very friendly,

Klein aber fein. Sehr lecker, sehr nettes Personal, hübsche Deko, gute Musik. Ich empfehle das Bolani.

Das Essen ist super lecker und reichlich, das auberginen polo kann ich nur empfehlen!! Und die InhaberInnen sind sehr gastfreundlich :)

Leckeres Essen und sehr nette Mitarbeiter

Sehr sehr Leckeres Kabuli Pulaw(mit Fleisch). Inhaber war sehr freundlich

Ssssuuuper leckere Teigtaschen 👍

Durch Zufall entdeckt. Schmeckt sehr gut. Selbst gekocht und...keine Zusatzstoffe trotz angegeben( habe gefragt). Vegan auch. Ich finde...kann man mal essen, probieren und damit Afghanisch Neues ausprobieren. Besitzer sind sehr freundlich, sprechen deutsch. Preise normal.

Sehr nettes Ehepaar das das Restaurant gemeinsam leitet und super sympathisch ist. Das Essen war auch sehr sehr lecker, vor allem der Reis. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Gutes Essen und freundliche Inhaber!

Unsagbar lecker. Wir sind spontan rein, wurden sehr freundlich beraten und haben dann viel zu viel gegessen, einfach weil es so lecker war…und auch die Mittagssuppe für den nächsten Arbeitstag kam noch mit…und das alles zu einem äußerst fairen Preis. Wir kommen wieder! Vielen Dank!

Sehr leckeres Essen und der Besitzer ist auch super sympathisch

Very authentic afghan food. Fresh made meals and friendly service.. highly recommended.

Tolles, authentisches Essen, super freundlicher Service und ein gemütlicher Laden. Ich komme sehr gerne hier her!

Unglaublich lecker, super freundliches, aufmerksames Personal, das für jeden Extrawunsch offen war, ultra gemütlich, absolut und ohne Abstriche durchweg zu empfehlen!
