Kebabi
This is the most ridiculous Döner. And it is sooo good. You will be completely overwhelmed by the choices you have to make, which ingredients you want to have on your kebap. Because there is everything. It also has all three major sauces (chili, garlic, plain). And the bread, oh my god the bread. Self made, heavenly fluffy, soaking up all the juices that normally land on your shirt.
Expect a big queue in front of the shop.

Thai Foodland Schnellrestaurant
So tasty! I regularly order the Pad Thai here, which is the best one in town. Also very vegan friendly, just tell them you want your dish with tofu and without egg.
Bangkok Foodland
There are a lot of Thai restaurants in Karlsruhe but I will always come back here, for the impeccable service and ambience. The food is great, too. Best Pad Thai I had in Karlsruhe so far.
Oriental Grill
Super friendly staff. Awesome Döner, also the vegan one. 😍
Brasserie Colette Tim Raue
Before I tell the story of my latest experience I want to emphasize that my first experience here was divine. It was a perfect evening with impeccable service and the reason why we returned here for the dinner of my 40th birthday.
Now, yesterday it was a different story. The food was great as expected but the service just made too many faux-pas for this kind of establishment.
In detail:
*we arrived, went up the stairs to stand behind a cue of three groups of people who were waiting to be seated. The restaurant was almost empty. No one manned the entrance for a while. My dad is 85 years old and had to wait standing on stairs.
*an old lady arrived before us but was seated after us.
*there was no cutlery. The staff didn’t notice while serving the bread and not while serving our food. My dad had to point it out to them.
*the wine glasses were empty three times for a long time. The bottle was out of reach and the wine waiter didn’t notice or addressed the issue.
*they forgot to serve our espressos.
*they forgot that we wanted to see the drink menu again.
*when my mother went to pay it took way too long for our waiter to get to her leaving my mother waiting.
This is a sad story for me because I am a big Tim Raue fanboy and I can’t wait to be in Berlin soon to try his main restaurant. I really want this place to be our yearly treat for my family to go out. That is why I chose this for my 40th birthday. The staff was informed beforehand that this is my birthday and it was only noticed at the end of the evening listening to our conversations while serving.
I want this place to be awesome again. Maybe it was a fluke but I doubt it because of the sheer number of mistakes that happened.
