The proof comes in classics like Quattro Stagioni or the "Dick & Doof" with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, fresh mushrooms, arugula and Parmesan shavings more than convincingly. Since 2018, pizza lovers in Sachsenhausen can also convince themselves of this. Because "Dick & Doof - Das Original" has opened a second pizzeria directly on Schweizer Straße, between Museumsufer and Schweizer Platz.

At Terranova in the North End, the pizzas are beautifully crisp and topped with exquisite ingredients. The pizza with pepperoni sausage is wonderfully spicy.

Authentic street food from India with a modern twist is served here in a pleasant urban industrial atmosphere. A good selection of curries, salads, tandori and side dishes actually offer just the right thing for every taste. We recommend the Singh's Wings (chicken wings marinated in honey and ginger and sautéed with spring onions) and the Ginger Chilli Prawns, which get a special kick from the marinade.

In addition to the restaurant in the Nordend, there are also two other eatDoori branches in Frankfurt: one at Kaiserstraße 55 and one at Foodtopia in MyZeil (4th floor.

No Indian restaurant has existed in Frankfurt for so long. The Chicken Bombay is the specialty of the house, which was chosen in 2016 in the program "Mein Lokal, Dein Lokal" as the best Indian restaurant in Frankfurt. The sauce of the Chicken Bombay dish is particularly creamy and convinces with the intensity and balance of flavours. An indispensable accompaniment to all dishes is definitely the home-baked bread. It is fluffy, soft and aromatic. Vegetarians can also look forward to a wide selection of Indian specialties.

The Tandoori Restaurant aims to offer its guests a feast for the senses, achieved through the use of various spices, but also through the ambience and subtle music. For those who like it a little spicier, the Murg Tikka Mera Masala (tender juicy pieces of chicken fillet in a cream sauce with tomatoes, honey and butter) is recommended. But also the Palek Paneer (Indian cheese in spinach) or the lamb dishes can convince as well as the very friendly service. And the mango lassi is not to be missed.

You can get a good selection of vegetarian and meat dishes at the station district. The samosa plate is perfect for small appetites, tastes great and is unbeatable in price. The lamb curry is pleasantly spicy and really tasty. However, if you like it cozy, you are wrong here, because the snack bar offers only standing tables to eat the food.

You should definitely try the tandoori specialties here. Whether Chicken Tikka (chicken pieces, grilled on a skewer after 24 hours of marinade) or Chicken Pahadi Kabab (chicken marinated and grilled in the Tandoor), here the quality of the meat as well as the vegetables and spices are convincing. This is also evident in lamb dishes such as Palak Gosht (tender pieces of lamb roasted with onions and tomatoes, cooked with leaf spinach in an aromatic mixture of spices). Finally, it may be something sweet like the delicious Mango Kulfi!

This place specializes in the pure vegetarian cuisine of South India. Highly recommended are for example the Uthappams, pancakes made of rice and lentils, which are offered in different variations. But also the naan prepared in a clay pot or the vegetable pulao (cooked basmati rice with mixed vegetables and mild Indian spices) will spoil your palate. A really big choice, from soft to spicy and from a small snack to a filling meal!

In Sachsenhausen, right on the party mile in Alt-Sachs, one of the best kebabs in town awaits you. The shop scores with tender meat from own production, nice service and extremely tasty sauces, which you can dose yourself.

When the prawns sizzle in hot garlic oil or the paella sizzles in the pan, your mouth quickly waters. Octopus prepared Galician style, mussels in spicy tomato sauce or the Iberico pork tenderloin with potatoes are just a few reasons why this classic of Spanish cuisine has been so popular for many years. Therefore, you should also better reserve a table beforehand.

You can actually find burgers everywhere in the city. Burgers that stand out from the crowd are available in Niederrad. At Blackbox Burger you get first-class burger variations served by professional gastronome Gürhan Temesel. The former traditional snack bar in Melibocusstraße 33 is already a real eye-catcher with its black tiles. But Black Box Burger is not only something for the eye.

On Burger. sorry, Berger Street you'll find many a burger restaurant. But one bite into creations like "M Bison his Father" and you know why this place has a particularly good reputation.

Our tip: In addition to burgers, there is also poutine here in three different variants. Definitely try.

At Jamy, the freshly processed Angus beef in particular leaves a good impression. The burgers taste juicy and flavorful. If you'd like to do a little something for your complexion, order the Red Head with chili and chunks of bell pepper. The spiciness can be tamed with a homemade lemon mint soda.

Our tip: Also try the Sour Bacon Fries with homemade sour cream, scallions and, of course, smoked bacon. Mmmmmmmhh.

The cult burger from the USA also conquered Frankfurt in winter 2017. From four basics, with different toppings such as grilled champions or fiery Jalapeños almost infinite individual variations can be created. Versatile and delicious - Well done, Guys!
