"Being in Strasbourg, my colleagues wanted to take me to an Indian for my opinion. This is what they thought was the best in the area and I would agree with them. Not far from the tram station (10 minutes walk) and just behind Alexandros...this is hidden in an alley. First impressions were good with the restaurant clean and decorated well. The food as is expected has been modified to suit the region which means you will come across the unusual experience of cheese being present in nearly every dish e.g Choley (Chickpeas) with paneer. It was not to my suiting but my colleagues liked it so I suppose I am not the target audience. The food was fresh and the taste was as you would expect. They offer good Desi (Indian) tea so I would recommend you try it if you have the chance. While it cannot be compared to the restaurants in the UK where there is a larger sub-continental population and therefore more traditional taste this is not by any means a bad place as long as you don't raise your expectations too high. It's a good family run restaurant with good service and a large variety of food. Run by a Punjabi family who knows what they are cooking, this is a good place to try if you would like to sample Indian food and are in the Alsace area. P.S: I would recommend checking with the manager if the food is Halal before dining. If you are not satisfied with the response the vegetarian section is still tasty and has a decent variety."

"Wolkenkratzer is a small café right in the middle of the Marktplatz (market place) in Kehl, a strategic location for business. Kehl is frequented by local French tourists from near-by Strasbourg, and then there also are enough local Germans to fill the tables. On market...days (Tuesdays Fridays) the place gets filled up easily. On Fridays Saturdays they serve something special that you cannot get on other days, namely weisswurst mit Senf (white Bavarian sausage with sweet mustard and a pretzel. I went there on a Friday and got this treat! It cost less than 4 euros, and it was worth every bite! The restaurant also had a pretty comprehensive breakfast/lunch menu that included regular, breakfast items, breakfast sandwiches and daily lunch specials. In addition to hot drinks they had alcoholic drinks. There also was an ice cream menu. Since it was summer almost everybody was seated outside. I was told by the tourist office that they had free Wi-Fi, but I did not see anybody with a computer there. I had passed by this café several times before asking myself what message they tried to convey by its name. Wolkenkratzer means skyscraper in German, but this café, when stripped off its outdoor seating (for example in winter) would look more like a wooden shed. Since their specialty seemd to be good breakfast with good coffee, I wondered if the picture of a steaming cup of coffee on their name plaque meant to say that steam was rising toward clouds. While contemplating this I thoroughly enjoyed my brunch there."

"because the city kehl has no real German “beer garden”, the Rhineschneck restaurant gets several points directly there, just because there is a chance to enjoy a cold beer in a very green atmosphere. the restaurant is surrounded by green and several large weeping grazing give cool shadows for this restaurant outdoors. rheinschenk is located in an interesting park between rhein and old rhein (an old Rhine branch). the park has an aqua playground for children, which is always visited by French tourists with their children from close to straßburg. the park is also a good place to walk, jogging or just appreciate art sculpture. when they feel energetic after their meal, there is a very high wooden tower to burn the calorie that they accumulate in the restaurant. the restaurant has a great atmosphere in the free! most customers are French tourist. so speak of course almost all waiter and waiter French German. I'd say this is a great place to have drinks and desserts. apfelstrudel with ice was very delicious. they even serve decaffeinated coffee, which is not always available in European restaurants. about eating, about what we ordered, I'd say I wasn't impressed. I ordered carving and my friend had currywurst. neither the court was beautifully presented and the tellers were almost covered with the thick homemade french fries. they were full, but not very tasty. curry was better than the carving, which was very boring compared to carving I was often eating in German restaurants. I saw other sandwiches and sausages ordered. nothing really looked mouthwater. price I would say it would be very fair: for two big beers, a small beer, two main plates, apfelstrudel and coffee we paid 30 euro. as I said, this is a place to drink a beer or have desserts with good coffee, unless they have to come naturally into the park to let the children play in water and then have lunch."

"I have been to this restaurant now three times and I have always had the feeling that it had more hot air than quality. Each time also I left thinking that it was the last time. I am not sure why I decided to go...there again this evening. Maybe because it was not very far from where I was staying? It was not at all bad, but it was certainly not good enough for the price of This was an evening in early July and everybody apparently wanted to be outside. Fair enough. So, they only counted the places outside as the restaurant although the inside was completely empty. If anybody wanted to sit in an area to avoid cigarette smoke coming from left right, then it was the inside. Yes, it was not cool be outside in summer! They had to set tables for you all over again! But, I asked for a place inside because on a Friday night the table we had was only good until p.m., that was until the next reservation. But I did not want to rush through the dinner, especially considering it was almost p.m. and the service was not the fastest. It turned out our waiter was a very nice and efficient guy who helped us select a good wine. The prices were not cheap. What I ordered was in the range of and it was chicken strips pasta with Dijon mustard. However, the dish tasted more like macaroni cheese. My friend had pike perch fillet with chanterelle mushrooms with macaroni. It also tasted like macaroni cheese. We had crème brule' with raspberry for desserts. It was little, but ok. The only saving grace was the wine that the waiter had recommended.It was a French Cabernet. Our dinner was not really bad, but certainly was not good enough! I surely would not come back here again."
