Tasty eritrean food! - Edit
When you are in Darmstadt, unfortunately there are not many vegetarian restaurants with a big menu. But fortunately there is Baobab. Half of the menu consists of vegetarian food(maybe even vegan). You can also order a mix of all vegetarian options. The food is really tasty and the atmosphere is nice.

Really good food! - Edit
I was really positively surprised by the food as I've never really tried african cuisine before, but everything that's vegetarian is also vegan so there's a lot to choose from! You can get a mixed dish to try everything and get to try eating with hands using a form of savory pancake! The staff is really nice and the whole experience was quite fun, would definitely recommend!!
Read morePros: Multiple vegan options
Cons: Rather inexpensive

Really good food - Edit
They offer vegan starters and four main dishes that you also combine as one plate. I already went there a couple of times and I usually chose the combination plate. The food is really good.

cute place, good food - Edit
The food here is pretty good. I really love the red lentils. It's a cute place but it's quite small so you should call ahead to reserve a table.

phenomenal! - Edit
It is really phenomenal eating here.
Read moreThey even have a vegan dessert and everything is listed vegan.
If you wish to have something you are able to just ask for it and they will prepare it.
It is my go-to now :)
you are able to sit on the floor and dine on wonderful sheets

Teuer mit kleinen Portionen - Edit
Nette Atmosphäre, man sitzt auf dem Boden und isst mit den Händen.
Read moreSehr leckeres eritreisches Essen, aber die Portionen waren nicht mal annähernd groß genug für uns (kleine Frau großer Mann), so dass wir von einer Vorspeisenplatte Hauptgericht (jeweils für 2 gedacht) immer noch nicht satt waren.
Billig ists hier nicht, also war das echt ne Frechheit.
Pros: Sehr lecker, Nette Mitarbeiter
Cons: Teuer --> schlechtes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, Viel zu kleine Portionen

Delicious food, great vegan selection - Edit
I am bias, because I love Eritrean food, so I have to give this restaurant a big thumbs up! The food was very yummy, prices decent (about EUR 7.50 for a main and 2.50-3 for dessert), and therefore the sizes also perfect to satisfy you without feeling stuffed. Super friendly staff and very accommodating for vegans. Also a very nice atmosphere.
Read morePros: yummy, normal sizes, atmosphere
Cons: Meat served

Good place for a late-night dinner - Edit
The baobab serves warm food until 11 pm, good to know for a vegetarian in Darmstadt.
Read moreThe menue is not very extensive, the four vegetarian main dishes are vegan. We had a plate of mixed starters (hummus and eggplant puree) which I found a bit bland and disappointing. The main dishes are delicious. They are served with a soft, pancake-like bread that has a very nice taste and consistency (you can order additional bread if you like). It's definitely not haute cuisine, but since it's not expensive, I'd still consider it a good option.
The restaurant calles itself "Erlebnisbar" (Erlebnis means adventure or experience) which refers to the furnishing. There are different kinds of tables: regular ones, one where you sit on the ground on cushions and a hut, which is basically a table with a roof. It's all kept in an adapted rural african style. There is no bad design, it's a nice mix of modernism and cosiness. However, of course it's hardcore exoticism. I guess that comes with the adventure-aspect.
There is no cutlery, you eat with your hands, which works fine due to the soft bread. But after your meal, they place a big plastic box with tissues on your table, which to us felt like you had to clean yourself up after your ethnic adventure. I think a simple napkin would have sufficed.
The staff was very friendly, the music at our last visit was Jefferson Airplane.
I have the impression that the restaurant is well-liked by the people of Darmstadt and I can imagine it being fun for children to eat there.
Pros: food is tasty and inexpensive, friendly service, nice atmosphere
Cons: trying a bit hard to look exotic, all dishes are rather simple
