Wüstenblume Fulda in Fulda

Wonderful atmosphere and truly friendly service with excellent food! When can you ever eat with your fingers? ☺️

Had dry ice show and candlelight… 10/ 10 star(s)

We had dinner at Wüstenblume today on the occasion of our wedding anniversary and had a very nice evening. The food was very tasty, the service was super friendly and there was even a very attentive surprise for the two of us from the staff, which made the evening perfect. Thank you very much and see you again soon :)

Everything was great! Very tasty food, nice service and nice atmosphere.

A beautiful, small restaurant. It's always busy and I recommend making a reservation in advance, but if you forget it's no big deal. The food is fantastic. You eat with your hands and no one looks at you wrong if it doesn't work out perfectly right from the start. The waiters are very courteous and friendly, have good taste and can help choose dishes. The recommendations were perfect for us.

An absolute insider tip! The food at Desert Flower was simply incredible – authentic, freshly prepared and full of flavor. I can particularly recommend the Bris Bajio, Sabaayad Suqaar and Fufu with peanut sauce, they were all taste explosions! The spices were perfectly balanced - spicy, but not too hot, and simply wonderfully aromatic. The ambience was also very pleasant – warm, welcoming and furnished with great attention to detail. You immediately feel welcome. The service was super friendly, attentive and happy to explain what was behind the different dishes. I will definitely come back and can only warmly recommend this restaurant - a piece of Africa in the middle of Fulda!

My friend from Munich and I (from Osnabrück) met in Fulda this weekend. We had a really great first evening in the Wüstenblume! The food was delicious and the staff was remarkably friendly! We felt very comfortable! Thanks for the lovely evening!

Super nice staff. Delicious food.

Delicious food and super nice staff!

From entering the restaurant to the delicious, traditional meal, everything was perfect. The service was always friendly and accommodating, we didn't have to wait long for the food (that alone deserves its own entry here - 10/10) and the atmosphere was great. We'll definitely be regulars!

That's what I call perfect service. After the nice welcome, the very friendly service gave us very good advice about the kitchen/menu and customs. Eating with your fingers, unusual but exciting! We would love to come back because it was delicious!

Really good food, no long waiting times, very nice staff. Will definitely come back for dinner.

Eating with your fingers - if you dare. A nice idea to bring you a little closer to the African lifestyle. Very tasty food and friendly young service. Recommended!

On the recommendation of our hotel, we ordered a table with 8 people. The menu we looked at before appealed to all of us. Another new experience was that there are no alcoholic drinks here (we also knew that beforehand). The food was very good, but we had to wait over an hour for it. I would pay the desert flower a visit again.

Very pleasant atmosphere, delicious food and very courteous service - definitely worth a visit!

My first visit there was truly amazing. It felt like a short trip to Africa. The food was sensational and the service extremely friendly.

Mega friendly staff, great atmosphere. Small, very fine menu. The food was absolutely delicious. Plus a freshly made cocktail. A really great experience! This makes going out fun. Many thanks to your entire team! We would love to come back.

Absolute recommendation! Very friendly and helpful staff. Delicious food and a nice atmosphere. Something different!

We ate at the Wüstenblume in Fulda for the first time yesterday. Our table for two was right by the window, which was perfect for us. After an explanation of the concept and the traditional finger food, we started ordering. It was an experience and a culinary delight. We had a wonderful evening with excellent food and service. The waiters were super friendly and attentive. The food was something truly special. We would love to come back.

Super exciting experience! Right at the beginning we were informed that it is customary to eat with your fingers and that only non-alcoholic drinks are served. The map can be easily accessed using a QR code. As a starter I ordered the desert flower salad. Delicious!!! The main course is Injera with Signi (No.20) Yummi!!! The dessert is just amazing!!! Luqiman Special…😋😋😋😋 Pay smartly via Paypal. All in all a successful evening. Many thanks to the kitchen, the service and everyone who helps in the background.

Food super tasty. Service was super friendly. You can feel that everyone enjoys their job and there is a good atmosphere Reservations in advance are strongly recommended

Very tasty and friendly service. I'll be back 😊

The two of us were there for our wedding anniversary and got the best seat by the window. Super pleasant atmosphere, very courteous service and as a wedding anniversary surprise, dessert was on the house. The food was very tasty! We will definitely come back and can recommend the store without reservation.

A beautiful restaurant with an extraordinary atmosphere. The food was outstanding and we were very impressed. Our waitress Jasmin gave us a wonderful evening with her friendly and convincing manner. Thank you very much again. See you soon 😉 Ceren and Dennis

We were pleasantly surprised on our first visit to the Desert Flower. Had very good advice about the dishes on the menu. Great service in that direction. The food was very tasty. It's just something different. We felt very comfortable and would like to come back.

Very tasty and special food! It was our first time there and we received extremely friendly and pleasant service. The staff left nothing to be desired and were very accommodating. A special recommendation for the "Desert Flower" cocktail and the dessert pastry balls with Nutella, pistachio cream, and coconut flakes. Everything was explained to us well beforehand, and we enjoyed eating with our hands, even though the staff assured us that using cutlery would be no problem. It feels good to touch the food and has a natural quality to it. We will definitely be happy to come back!

The staff was super friendly, and the food was also very good. Non-alcoholic cocktails and food were priced on the higher end. The service and food were still worth it. Overall, a very nice evening in a small, cozy, and authentic location. I can definitely recommend this visit.

Very nice restaurant, extremely friendly and personable staff, fantastic food, highly recommended.

A fascinating restaurant where service and hospitality are a top priority. This style of dining was completely new to me, but absolutely worth it! It's great to be able to enjoy the variety in such a rich culinary world. Thanks to Shahla and the entire team! If I'm ever in Fulda again, I'll definitely be a repeat customer. 🙂🙃🙂

Was super tasty It's definitely worth a visit🥰 The service was also really nice and courteous

Very good atmosphere, food also great. Greetings from Munich to Jasmin, super friendly service

My son and I ate there on March 20, 2025. People!! I can only recommend it!! Delicious, super friendly, great atmosphere. Happy to come back!!

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 🥰

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

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

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!

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

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😃

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

Great food, really cool dry ice cream show

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.

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

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

Really exceptionally good in all respects. Clear 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.

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

Wonderful atmosphere and super delicious food!

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

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💙

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! ⭐️

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!

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

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

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 :)

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!

Great food, great service; you should definitely visit

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.

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

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 ☺️

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.

Very good service and outstanding food. Would again!

Delicious food and very nice service. Definitely recommended

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.

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!

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)

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. 😍

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

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.

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

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

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!

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. :)

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 😃
