Mexico meets India. Great food and excellent service! Will definitely go back the next time I'm in Hamburg.

Authentic Mexican, Indian and Asian Fusion Bowls? Sounds like a strange combination, but since those nationalities are represented by the cooks behind the counter it really works. While it's great for a quick lunch during the week they have special menus focusing on one nationality on the weekend. Really nice staff and curious cooks that are eager to improve and like to discuss their recipes with guests.

I went on what happened to be Indian night and had the best thali (vegetarian) ever. Truly perfect.
The only downside was service was not quite on point, like waiting for 10 mins for a menu and only when I asked for one, same when asking for bill. This turned out to be because they were short staffed that evening. It seems that they’re newish and still learning the ropes. With a bit more polish, I wouldn’t be surprised to see lines out the door or a bigger space opening soon.

It's a bit dark with the low level light and dark materials, but the atmosphere is very casual and nice. People smile and the guys and girls running the place make you really feel welcome-good vibe, which I think is very important. Chains like Otto's Burger feel a bit like an eating factory, here you have a sense that this is driven by someone's passion and it's personal.
Our food was good: fresh and different, you could taste that they made everything themselves.
Value for money I found to be especially good, considering what kind of *uniqueness* and quality I get for the same money in other places around. Only exemption were the 0,2 liter soft drinks, I think this trend is really stupid to make those bottles smaller and smaller.

I will come again and will recommend to my friends!

Cheers
Andy

The Restaurant is small and we had to wait more than 1 hour to get our food. The kitchen is really small and they could do one table at a time. Price are a bit expensive for what you get in your plate and the quality is not in accordance with the price. If you want to eat enough, take nachos 7€, a main meal about 13€ and a desert 5€ + a beer 4€. For this will be charged 29€. To finish don’t forget to bring your clothes to the pressing next day because your close will smell from the kitchen. Light in the bathroom closed after 10s. You have to switch on it all the time.

Good food, portions could be larger.

It's one of these "trendy" places in Altona/Ottensen, thus the prices are a little higher too.

The interior is quite dark, but there's benches and tables outside the restaurant too.
