"Der Ort ist ruhig trotz Spielplatz. Die Gastgeber sind freundlich und gehen auf jeden Wunsch ein. Die Speisekarte ist mit indischer und deutschen Küche kombiniert. Ich finde dies passt irgendwie nicht zusammen. Aus meiner Sicht sind die indischen Gerichte auch deutlich besser. Evtl. kann ich dies aber auch nicht beurteilen da ich kein Inder bin :p Die deutsche Küche ist zwar ok aber noch ausbaufähig. Gerade die Schnitzel sind zwar gut aber irgendwie keine richtigen Schnitzel (wer sie gesehen hat weiß was ich meine). Der Inhaber ist neu und macht definitiv vieles richtig. Ich denke es wird sich mit der Zeit einpendeln."

"Ich hatte zu meinem Geburtstag mit ca. zwanzig Friends eine sehr gute Zeit in der Erholung. Die Betreiber sind unwahrscheinlich freundlich und der Service war on top! Es gibt authentisches indisches Essen, das ich sehr begrüße! Es gibt auch noch andere klassiche Gartenlokalspeisen, die auch sehr lecker aussahen! Ich komme gerne immer wieder!"

"Wunderschön im Grünen gelegen, lädt das Gartenlokal mit seiner entspannten und gemütlichen Atmosphäre zum Abschalten ein. Direkt vor der Tür gibt es einen Spielplatz, im Keller eine Kegelbahn – ideal für Familien und Gruppen. Das Personal ist ausgesprochen freundlich und aufmerksam, man fühlt sich sofort willkommen. Die indischen und deutschen Gerichte sind frisch, liebevoll zubereitet und geschmacklich hervorragend. Im Sommer ist der Außenbereich ein echtes Highlight, während der rustikal gestaltete Innenraum an kühlen Tagen Wärme und Gemütlichkeit bietet. Preis-Leistung stimmt, und man spürt, dass hier mit Herz gearbeitet wird. Absolut empfehlenswert!"
