Wüstenblume Fulda in Fulda

We were thrilled, super delicious food, nice atmosphere and our server Shala was awesome. Would love to come back.

Had a wonderful evening. The ambience is great. The food was fresh and tasted great. We send greetings to our fantastic waitress Shala. We'd love to come back.

We had a wonderful evening with the super friendly service Jasmin, and excellent food - from the starter to the main course to the dessert, everything tasted wonderful 😍🙏🏼 Kind regards from Gelnhausen - we'll be back soon 🥰

Serve meat with vegetarian dishes! "accidentally" and then only became accommodating after a long discussion! never again!

The desert flower enriches Fulda's cuisine. Cozy and modern small restaurant with very dedicated staff and delicious delicacies :)

Great restaurant! Great team! The dishes are strong and unusually seasoned for us but super tasty! Ideal for anyone who wants to have a new taste in their mouth. We'd love to come back😃

Desert flower very nice place. The food was delicious, eating with your hands was an enriching experience, and the service was very friendly and top notch. The location is small which is rather pleasant, maybe a little too dark. We'll definitely come back. Keep it up

Super tasty in vegan form and simply a great experience! Shala accompanied us through the evening in a friendly and approachable manner - we'll be back!

Great food, really cool dry ice cream show

Absolutely recommended!! Totally authentic African restaurant. We would definitely love to come back!

Perfect all around. Eating with your hands is a must, simply a great experience

Ate very tasty, rather expensive. We had made reservations and the restaurant was well attended. Just FYI, there is no alcohol here. Of three non-alcoholic beers, only one was there. In my opinion, however, there are too many tables in the small restaurant. Dog is allowed.

An absolute recommendation – perfect food & great service! We had the pleasure of celebrating my wife's birthday at the Wüstenblume restaurant in Fulda - and it was simply fantastic! As soon as we entered we felt incredibly comfortable. The location is super cozy, with a great atmosphere that invites you to linger. The entire team is super friendly, attentive and quick. You can immediately tell that people are working here with passion. The boss is also extremely nice and warm - a real highlight of the evening! The food? Simply a dream! Every dish was perfectly seasoned, freshly prepared and incredibly delicious. After dinner we were treated to a sweet surprise - a wonderful gesture that made our evening perfect. Our tip to everyone who eats here: Be sure to try it with your hands! This makes the culinary experience even more authentic and special. Many thanks to the whole team – we will definitely be back!

The food was very tasty and the service was good and very accommodating :)

Hello, four of us were in the restaurant yesterday. And we loved the facility. The service was super nice. It turned out that we knew each other. Funny. Gluten-free was a bit difficult but a dish was possible. Rice with chicken leg. It was a really great meal with exceptional, well-balanced spices. Price performance is also completely okay.

What an exciting experience in the desert flower. We had a wonderful evening with an extraordinary ambience, delicious food and the best seat in the restaurant, right by the window. The first and unexpected experience of eating with your hands was challenging, especially because of the peanut sauce. It was allowed to eat traditionally African with your hands, finally licking all 10 fingers like a child ;-). When tea was served we held our hands up. Luckily there were cups. What brought us the greatest joy that evening was the lovely staff, what friendly and attentive staff. This led to an indescribably fun evening on both sides. You're great. Kind regards from Alette and Diana

We arrived a little late, but we still got our table. We are very enthusiastic about the service and the culinary experience. There is also a little surprise for birthday guests! We highly recommend eating it with your hands and the dessert was delicious. The toilet is also very cool. One of the best restaurant visits we've ever had. We will come more often! Thanks <3

Super warm staff, a beautiful atmosphere and the fufu was incredibly tasty. Absolute heart recommendation! :)

I have rarely experienced such courteous/polite staff. Furthermore, the food is fantastically tasty and was served very quickly. I can only recommend it.

Really exceptionally good in all respects. Clear recommendation!

Wonderful atmosphere and super delicious food!

Best restaurant in Fulda love it here, great service and very good food! Always happy to come back :)

Great atmosphere, very stylishly furnished. The food is very tasty and is served with a special effect (remains a secret, you have to experience it yourself;) and the conditions are particularly friendly and attentive. A big heartfelt recommendation💙

A 10 out of 10 restaurant. A very friendly & attentive staff, the food is excellent. I would recommend it to everyone 👍🏻

We had the pleasure of eating at Wüstenblume in Fulda and it was a great experience from start to finish. Our waitress, Schala, gave us a warm welcome and impressed us with first-class service throughout the entire visit. She was attentive, friendly and made us feel truly welcome. The food was simply outstanding – fresh, aromatic and perfectly balanced. We were impressed by the quality of the ingredients and the attention to detail in the preparation. Every bite was a delight! The ambience also contributes to the special atmosphere of the restaurant. The loving furnishings and cozy lighting ensure a pleasant and relaxed dining experience. Overall, our visit to the Desert Flower was a complete success. If you are looking for good food, great service and a harmonious ambience, you should definitely stop by here. We'll definitely be back!

We give absolutely EVERYTHING in this restaurant a 10/10. The ambience, the food from starters to dessert and, above all, the staff... everyone was super friendly and accommodating and the food was simply delicious. It tasted super fresh and there was simply NO point where we said we didn't like it. We felt totally comfortable and I was very happy about the birthday surprise 🫶🏼 We are already looking forward to the next time. You are great! ⭐️

The ambience, the service and especially the food were very good. Top!!!

The atmosphere is very pleasant due to the dimmed lights and the beautiful music. I had rice with chicken and found it very tasty. For dessert we ate the traditional balls. The service was perfect! Very nice people work here. We were pleasantly surprised and will definitely come back again :)

The culinary trip to Africa is not over-promised. Very tasty, great location and nice people. Gladly again at any time.

Stylish little restaurant with super nice staff and very tasty, exceptional food! There was even a little show effect with “Gorilla in the Fog.” Be sure to go and see for yourself! We ate our plates completely empty! 😍😍😍

A real highlight in Fulda! I was at Wüstenblumen Fulda and I was absolutely thrilled! The African food was incredibly tasty - something different that definitely enriches Fulda. The spices, the preparation and the quality of the ingredients completely convinced me. The owner is also a super nice guy, always warm and committed - sometimes maybe a little too much, but that's what makes the shop so charming. If you're interested in something new, you should definitely stop by here! Clear recommendation!

You are greeted and taken straight to the table and have a very great atmosphere. The only point where the restaurant takes away my 5 stars is the space, the restaurant is a little too small but it was enough for two people.

Great food, great service; you should definitely visit

This is my second time here and it's something special. Something completely different than the Italian and Chinese restaurants. I can only recommend that everyone overcome themselves and have their own experience. Everyone was super nice and it felt like home. Thanks to the whole staff ☺️

The restaurant is an absolute experience & highly recommended. The staff are very hospitable & super attentive. It was worth every penny. Insider tip for Fulda. We'll definitely be back!

A highly recommended restaurant visit of a particularly beautiful kind! Not only is the ambience and the food exceptionally good, but also the great and extremely attentive, friendly service from the entire staff, who spread a lot of joy with their smiles. With lots of little touches, enjoying the restaurant becomes an unforgettable highlight! Thank you for the wonderful hours with you, we would love to come back! 😊 Bianca and Michael

Delicious food and nice ambience! The staff was very friendly and attentive. I would recommend the “Wüstenblume” restaurant to anyone who would like to try African cuisine.

Small but very comfortable. The staff is absolutely super friendly and great. The obligatory dry ice to start the meal is great and puts you in a good mood.

Very good service and outstanding food. Would again!

Delicious food and very nice service. Definitely recommended

The service in the restaurant is a dream. The staff is very friendly, accommodating and makes visiting the restaurant something very special. Since we (two friends and I) were there for the first time, the concept was explained to us. We were asked at regular intervals whether everything was OK or if we needed anything else. The food was excellent, I particularly liked the sauce for the fufu, and the meat was also very tender. But the starter, which consisted of fried lentil balls, was also extremely tasty. We also tried the non-alcoholic cocktails, which we really enjoyed, and to round things off we shared dessert. I can recommend the restaurant to everyone and would like to thank you again for the good service! (We were particularly impressed by the fact that an older guest was helped down the few steps and that great care was taken to ensure that the curtain in the entrance area was always properly closed so that we didn't freeze)

Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Our food came quickly and was very tasty. Reservations are also possible online. There are vegetarian and even vegan options. Gladly again!

Everything TOP!!! Very nice experience!

The place is nice and the food is flavorful. And how you distort the food is a surprise.

Friendly people. Always worth it. :)

We had a wonderful time. The drinks and food were very good. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and you feel like you are experiencing a part of African culture. As someone who grew up in different African countries, I immediately felt at home and also got a little homesick! I can only recommend it!!

The food is really a culinary experience... very nice hosts and employees. A visit is highly recommended.

Arrived on a busy evening without a reservation and were nevertheless greeted in a very friendly manner. The atmosphere in the restaurant is great, and the employees are super friendly and accommodating, even when the restaurant is full and stressful. The food was super tasty and the portion size was absolutely sufficient. We would definitely like to come back, but next time with a reservation 😀.

Fabulous😍. Great service, the food was super tasty. The atmosphere is very nice and the prices are more than reasonable. Eating with your fingers was a strange feeling for a short time, but then it went away quickly and was really fun. The operator is a super nice young man who clearly runs this restaurant with heart. Totally recommended👍. I definitely say see you next time🙂

We were here for the first time today. Despite requesting a table at fairly short notice, we were still lucky. Super lovely people and outstanding food! I haven't eaten so well in a long time. We'll definitely be back.

Such a good restaurant, the food is so delicious too. But most of all the service was wow. Everything perfect

Great restaurant, atmospheric ambience and excellent food. Service was very attentive and warm; the dishes are fresh and the ingredients are perfectly balanced. The “birthday greeting” and the authentic atmosphere were particularly nice.

Super nice, small restaurant with attention to detail and very friendly staff. The food tasted wonderful and the dessert was an 11 out of 10. 😍

Desert Plume – A piece of Africa in the middle of Fulda We had a really great evening in the desert plume yesterday! The food was simply delicious – authentic, spicy and with so many exciting flavors. Eating with your hands took a little getting used to at first, but it definitely added to the experience and was really fun in the end! The service was incredibly friendly and accommodating - despite the restaurant being full, everyone took the time to answer our questions and give us detailed advice, as we couldn't decide on what to eat at first. Particularly nice: There are even small handbag holders, which we found to be a charming detail. It almost felt like you were on a short vacation in Africa for two hours. Thank you for the wonderful evening – we will definitely be back!

Aad baad u mahadsantahay, way fiicnayd!! Short info: Service: super friendly and attentive Ambiance: modern, small but nice Food: very tasty, taste experience Reservation: strongly recommended More detailed: We went to the “Wüstenblume” on a Saturday evening with a reservation for four people. After a minimal wait, we were shown to our small tables. The reception was extremely friendly and I personally love it when people call you on your first name, it immediately makes you feel welcome. Our servers were fantastic! They were attentive and friendly and gave great recommendations. The service really made our dining experience special. (Eating with your hands is really fun) For starters we had a selection of East African specialties with Sambusa,  Lambi spring rolls and Bajio. Unfortunately, the sauces served with it were too spicy for me. I would like a third mild sauce for people like me who can't tolerate spiciness. My daughter thought both dips were delicious. My main course was Sabaayad, a Somali flatbread that was golden brown, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, served with suqaar (tenderly cooked beef) with a side salad. I can really only recommend this!! Unfortunately, I was very full from the starters, but the rest of my food was packed into a box. What's really cool now is that the sabaayad also tastes super delicious the next day (cold). One or two fewer tables would perhaps loosen up the room a bit and a second toilet with a urinal would be great. But maybe I haven't reached the age of the unisex toilet yet. The (scene bar) “Desert Flower” with its ambience could also be in Berlin, Hamburg or Munich. A culinary enrichment for Fulda!! I'd love to come back.

Sitting comfortably, very good and friendly service, excellent advice and the food was very, very good! Even the espresso was very good! Thank you !

Super good food, great service and pleasant atmosphere! Can only be recommended.

The Wüstenblume is a beautifully decorated restaurant with pleasant, slightly darker room lighting. We were warmly welcomed, escorted to our table and introduced to the concept of the restaurant. Eating traditionally with our hands was a new experience for us; we never felt strange about it. There is also a separate hand washing basin in the dining room. The staff was really very nice and attentive and not intrusive at all. The food was very tasty, but the portion sizes were perhaps a bit small and therefore the price-performance ratio was not entirely justified. In addition, the tables were rather close together, so the other guests (at least for us) felt a bit harassed. All in all, a visit is certainly recommended. I'm looking forward to new creations from the kitchen if the menu is expanded.

Simply recommended! Top service, top food and great atmosphere.

We reserved a table online and were warmly welcomed and invited to eat there according to tradition. The food was great and the service was perfect. The whole restaurant was a highlight. Highly recommended!!!

We went to Wüstenblume for the first time today and it was simply delicious! The service was also attentive and very nice, traditionally we tried to eat with our hands only. We'd love to come back!

Interesting, very friendly and very clean. Were completely satisfied.

We were greeted very friendly and felt immediately at home in the great atmosphere. The food was super delicious!

Super friendly service, nice ambience, great food. We'll be back 😁

Were there last night. The food is very tasty, great ambience and very nice staff. I can recommend it to everyone.

Were here for the first time. The service was incredibly friendly and accommodating🥰 The food was also very tasty! Absolutely recommended! 🥰

We received a very friendly welcome from the start! The food is absolutely delicious and the ambience is beautiful. The cocktails are also absolutely delicious and very refreshing. Definitely coming back. :)

I love, love, love it here!!! This is my fourth time there and I always enjoy coming back. The service is so great and everyone is so nice. We received a warm welcome and were able to have a short chat in between. The food is simply delicious, both starter, main course and dessert. Surprised every time. I'm really looking forward to the next time!

Mal was anderes ,essen war richtig gut 👍 Man kann muss aber nicht ohne Messer und Gabel essen ,wir haben ohne gegessen , muss man mal ausprobieren 😃

The food is unique in the way it is prepared and right down to the last bite. The entire design of such a small room was implemented perfectly, creating a slightly mystical but cozy atmosphere. They also have probably the best employees there, thanks to the whole desert flower team for a lovely evening🫶

The food and the staff are truly unique. Thanks again to the team for the great and courteous service. We will definitely come back.

Very tasty food & really nice and helpful team, almost like being at home 🙃

Absolutely recommended. The food is delicious, the service is all super nice and friendly and the ambience is unique.

Beautiful, extraordinary ambience. Super friendly service & absolutely fantastic food! Great recommendation! :)

Best shop in Fulda. You don't get something like that every day.

We were there for the first time and had reserved a table in advance and were quickly shown to our place. Unfortunately this was in the front entrance area, so it was very drafty and I generally found it quite cold. The ambience itself is beautifully done and has a certain flair. Had the house cocktail, which read very tasty, but it wasn't quite what we had imagined, but it was delicious. The starter plate was only filled with fried foods, everything tasted the same, but the sauces were incredibly tasty and gave the whole thing a kick. The main course was served with flatbreads, I didn't really like two of the lentil toppings so it was more of a flop for me if 2 of the 4 didn't taste good. The food is very expensive, €16 for the fried starters is quite steep. Service was good, we felt very comfortable. In everything it was ok, but the food should be offered more for the price range and the portion size should be adjusted.

Great restaurant with an East African theme. Very good food, almost always with injera, a bread typical of East Africa. The restaurant is alcohol-free. Fine tea, spicy coffee, wine, beer without alcohol, many other fine drinks. We found the little gorilla figure staring at a smoking bowl of dry ice at the table to be a somewhat absurd quote from a somewhat absurd film. But the food was great, as was the service!

We were here for the first time today... The service, the ambience, the food... simply top! 👌 Absolutely recommended! I would also like to come back again... Keep it up ☺️

We reserved a table and announced in advance that we would be bringing a dog. Nevertheless, we were assigned a table in the middle of the narrow dining room, where the dog had no room at all. Luckily a table at the edge became free after a while so we could move. The food was served quickly and was tasty. The service was very friendly. Great emphasis was placed on hygiene. Unfortunately, you almost have to justify yourself if you don't want to eat with your fingers and have cutlery.

A restaurant with a nice atmosphere, the food tasted good but the portions were quite small (with a starter it was ok) it was unfortunately only lukewarm to cold.

We were there on Christmas Day. Not all seats were occupied. The food was very tasty, the service was very friendly. Small and nice with a great ambience. We felt a bit like we were in Berlin. We'd love to come back again.

Our first visit really impressed us 🤩 The greeting was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The table for 2 by the window was perfect. After explaining the restaurant concept and the traditional finger food, we started with the starter and main course. There was absolutely nothing wrong with that. Dessert was served to us on the occasion of our anniversary with musical accompaniment and sparklers 😍 We highly recommend a visit here 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Absolutely recommended! Service and food were outstanding! We felt comfortable from the first minute. The ambience is truly unique, as is the food. We were completely thrilled. On top of that, due to our anniversary and engagement, we had dessert on the house, which was served with sparklers and matching music. We were truly touched by such a warm gesture! We'll definitely be back, even if we have to travel over an hour to do so.

Absolutely fantastic! Beautifully decorated, super tasty and cool staff. ♡

Liebes Team der Wüsten Blume, mein Besuch in Ihrem Restaurant war ein echtes Erlebnis auf höchstem Niveau! Von der ersten bis zur letzten Minute habe ich mich rundum wohlgefühlt. Das Essen war schlichtweg phänomenal – eine harmonische Kombination aus frischen Zutaten, authentischen Aromen und einer perfekten Präsentation. Jede Speise erzählte eine eigene Geschichte und zeugte von der Leidenschaft und dem Können Ihres Küchenteams. Der Service war genauso beeindruckend: aufmerksam, unaufdringlich und mit einem herzlichen Lächeln. Ihre Liebe zum Detail – sei es in der Dekoration, der Musik oder der Atmosphäre – hat diesen Besuch unvergesslich gemacht. Vielen Dank für diese Weltklasse-Leistung! Ich freue mich schon darauf, bald wieder bei Ihnen zu Gast zu sein.

Small restaurant with a feel-good factor! The menu is rather small, but there is something for every taste. The service is incredibly nice. Eating without cutlery is a bit unusual, but it is authentic.

Very tasty food served by very nice people. The spicy Chllie lime dip for the starter dish deserves special praise. The final bill for the lovely evening was very OK. We'll be back

Today we were in the desert flower for the first time. When we entered the restaurant we were first impressed by the furnishings and the lovely ambience. A look at the menu confirmed our impression. The starters, the main courses and also the desserts were great and, above all, homemade. There are no convenience products here! You can taste it straight away. It's also nice to wait a little longer. The prices absolutely correspond to the quality of the food. We would love to come back.

The food is unusual, but in a positive way. Only recommended. Attention: There are no alcoholic drinks. I'm just writing this so that no one is disappointed.

Dieses Restaurant ist ein absolutes Highlight! Vom freundlichen, aufmerksamen Service bis zur stimmungsvollen Atmosphäre war alles perfekt. Die Gerichte sind echte Kunstwerke, geschmacklich, sowie auch optisch. Hier stimmt einfach alles, von der Qualität bis zum Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.

Great little restaurant with great flair! Nice welcome, good and fast service with energy, a short introduction to the culinary delights of a trip to Africa. Pretty steam effect on the main course! The food is super delicious and the portions are enough for men's stomachs! There was a small disadvantage, I was full and would have liked to try a lot more. The cocktails are also really tasty and everything is nicely and stylishly decorated. We'll be back, even if it's a 90 minute drive - it's definitely worth it! Thank you dear restaurant team

Was für ein schöner Abend! tolle Location, super freundliches Personal, sehr leckeres Essen! Wir sind immer sehr neugierig auf fremde Kulturen und hier darf man sich sehr wohlfühlen, bis bald!

We ordered takeaway from Wüstenblume and were unfortunately a bit disappointed. The dishes were carelessly prepared and tasted rather average. We had hoped for more given the good reviews. Perhaps eating on-site is a better experience, but unfortunately our impression of the take-away was underwhelming.

Ein echtes Juwel! Das Restaurant Wüstenblume hat mich absolut begeistert! Die Atmosphäre ist warm und einladend, mit liebevollen Details, die an eine orientalische Oase erinnern. Das Essen war einfach fantastisch – frisch, authentisch und mit einer perfekten Balance aus Gewürzen. Besonders zu empfehlen sind gemischte Platte für 2, das war ein Geschmackserlebnis! Der Service war ebenfalls hervorragend: freundlich, aufmerksam und sehr zuvorkommend. Man spürt, dass hier mit Herz gearbeitet wird. Wer nach einem besonderen kulinarischen Erlebnis sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Ich komme definitiv wieder!

Excellent service, excellent food, very friendly staff.

Very nice shop, the ambience creates a pleasant atmosphere. The service is very friendly and respectful and the menu is simply designed with pictures of the food. It was very tasty and filling well. I can recommend Desert Flower with a clear conscience and look forward to my next visit

Great evening in a nice atmosphere and delicious food. The service was also very good, thank you very much!

I had the pleasure of eating at Desert Flower over the weekend and I have nothing but positive things to say! The ambience was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed dinner. The menu offered a diverse selection of dishes and everything we tried was simply delicious. We particularly loved the fufu with peanut sauce and chicken drumsticks – it was perfectly seasoned and the presentation was fantastic. The service was also excellent. The staff were friendly, attentive and always had a smile on their faces. They quickly identified our needs and made sure we felt completely comfortable. I can only warmly recommend Desert Flower and look forward to our next visit!

We ate here on October 5th, 2024 with almost 30 people. Since we had actually planned and reserved less, it quickly became very crowded. We were participants in the IML Fulda March and celebrated our meeting because we come from all over Germany. The staff did everything they could to make us happy and created a huge “table” for us. We were all in a very good mood and the service team kept the general mood high. The food was delicious and we had fun at every single meal. I can highly recommend the restaurant, it is small but nice, a super friendly and open team. Thanks
