Amazing Restaurant. - Edit
The food was delicious, the wine pairing went perfectly, and hands down the best Hummus I've ever had.

Great option for Eritrean, perhaps slightly overrated - Edit
Definitely a nice atmosphere, and the food is certainly good, but this is the Eritrean place I heard about the most in Frankfurt and I think there are a few others are that are slightly better. Still - a very good vegan platter!

Absolutely Delicious 😋 - Edit
The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. There’s wonderful vegan options. We ordered the vegan mixed platter and it was absolutely delicious. I’m gonna order the exact thing next time. We also ordered two of Richards SUN ice teas.

Leckere afrikanische Küche in afrikanisch-stilvollem Ambiente mit gutem Service - Edit
Große vegane Platten und sehr freundlicher Service. Getränke okay; teils aber interessante Getränke, die man sonst so nicht zu trinken bekommt, was auch zu den Speisen gut passt, die zwar nicht alle vegan, aber wenn vegan, so doch sehr lecker sind.

Great African food - Edit
Delicious and varied vegan food. Normally served on soft flat bread that you use to great the food and that also soaks up the spicy sauces. During the pandemic lockdown, we ordered it for delivery and massively enjoyed the vegan mixed platter and hummus

Fantastic lentils and spinach! - Edit
Their lentils and their spinach on African flat bread are just delicious!! Madiba Afrika also has that option and I haven't decided yet where I like it better. Both reataurants are fantastic.

Fur seating - Edit
This restaurant offers very delicious East African food. It is not 100% authentic, but I think hardly any European will notice that. I can neither complain about the food or service, but we had the misfortune to be seated on real fur. It is recommended to make a reservation beforehand and at that occasion I'll ask to be seated somewhere else next time.

Most flavourful meal that I had in Mainz - Edit
I had a delicious shared vegan platter with friends that included a mix of potato, spinach, spicy lentil, shiro (chickpea), and fresh salad dishes. The injera here is made with wheat and corn flours rather than teff but it still has the springy, sour taste that you would expect. The wait staff speak English and we're very helpful in suggesting a combo for us.

East-African experience - Edit
“Im Herzen Afrikas” is an east-african restaurant that actually exists twice: One restaurant is in Frankfurt, the second and newer one in Mainz.
Read moreThe owners want their guests to experience a bit of their country of origin, not only by tasting the traditional meals, but also by sitting in larger groups (either on the ground or on large tables) , by eating with their hands instead of using cutlery, by the relaxed atmosphere… and I feel that they succeed in doing so!
Visiting one of their restaurants is a great experience. The food is delicious. They have three vegan mains (lentils, potatos, spinach), and some other vegetarian ones. All are nicely spiced, and placed on mildly sour pancake-like Injera-bread. And you have to try their hummus as a starter! It is soooo delicious (but can be difficult to eat…). Also love their “Pembe” – homemade beer!
Pros: Great atmosphere, Delicious food, Nice staff

Nice food in social atmosphere - Edit
This is the first Eritrean place in Mainz and they offer a great variety of vegan dishes. Half of their main courses are vegan and the best you can do is to go there with some friends and order them all. They will serve them on a huge platter on some Eritean pancake-like bread which you can use with your hands to eat the food. You should make sure to just share such a platter with vegan friends (or such friends who are okay with just eating vegan here) as the dishes will inevitably intermix during your meal.
