    Rude service and attitude, don't use masks properly, and they did not disinfect the menus, when they pass it from table to table. Very overpriced for a small dish. I was in the restaurant today with two friends. I ordered the lentils vegetarian dish and chose the couscous (from the options couscous/rice/injera) The lentil stew was ridiculously small portion and for sure it doesn't justify the price of 11€ it came on a flat, small plate which gives you a small portion (It’s very strange to serve a dish with a soup-like texture on a flat small plate and then use this as an excuse to say why the portion is small) My friend, who also ordered a vegetarian dish (with the same price) but with spinach and injera, got a portion that was at least double the size of mine. I finished my dish in one or two minutes and wasn't full at all. When I politely complained and asked for a bit more lentils, I got a very rude and aggressive comment from the boss who didn't try to help or understand at all, and she didn't wear a mask. She said she didn’t care at all if we wouldn’t come back or if we were satisfied customers. I was even more disappointed in this attitude. Also the menus were not cleaned by disinfectant when passed it from a table to another. The waitress wore a mask but only over her mouth, not over her nose. The prices of the menu had increased, which I can understand because of Corona, but the portion of my dish was extremely small. I was told that this is because I ordered couscous, but in the menu it was not written that if you choose couscous, your vegetarian dish will be smaller. It was very unfortunate and disappointing, especially the service. We'll not back, even though the food was nice.

    The food in Savanna tasted overall quite good. We ordered the mixed platter, which has some vegetarian and meaty options options. The food was well done, you could feel the amount of spices in it (a similar feeling to eating indian curry). Thus this might not be for everyone, the food is quite heavy and one might miss one "food neutralizer" (which is usually the function of rice and bread. The platter had some sort of crepe with it, but it is a bit sour, so it doesn't fulfill it's role as a neutralizer. The srvice was very friendly and the place is really cozy - 5 points for ambient.

    Super cozy restaurant! We went there at a rainy day and siting at the window looking outside. Good friendly service. We ordered the dish for two, so we can try everything, lamb is specially tasty and the rest as well. Price is fair.

    What a delightful restaurant! The dishes are so rich in taste, the service is fast, the waiter was polite and the atmosphere is so warm and welcoming. I ordered the vegan injera plate and enjoyed every second of it!

    It's much more good than my original thoughts!! You will have food with your hand, kind of pancake and some meat, salat, curry vegis, and everything fit with each other so well!

    I've been several times over the past few years and I would say that they managed to keep a very high standard. No gimmicks, just very good food and very nice service. There are a few tables set outside in the back that are quite nice and shaded. I would recommend this place to virtually everybody.

    The place is very nice, easy to find. Stuff is very helpful and professional. Injera salad and dumplings were delicious, mixed plate was too spicy. Creme brulee was cold and sugar wasn't good carmelised. Choco mousse very good, banana a little bit too soft. A big + for very beautiful toilet

    I have been here a number of times and always loved the food and the atmosphere. The service today (in a total empty restaurant at 8pm) did not want to let us sit where we wanted to sit though it was not reserved(at least no sign of reservation) without any reason. Hence 1 star for the service.

    I'm usually not a huge fan of ethiopan food but this one was really good. Their honey wine is good, the food nicely spiced, and the price is ok for Frankfurt.

    The worst experience, we tried calling the Resturant several times and no answer. When we are walked in , the place was empty , they had one group of four people. The rude lady refused to let us seat and eat, she was extremely rude and prejudice. This place should be closed or reported I the authorities for their discrimination and rude attitude. Please stop this kind of behavior , we live in the 21st century.
