The restaurant is quietly and charmingly located in Detmold's old town, with a sheltered outdoor area that allows you to sit outside in a relaxed atmosphere even in light summer rain – a real plus! The service was extremely friendly, attentive, and pleasantly unobtrusive – you feel welcome and well looked after as a guest. The food: I had the avocado hummus for starters. It was fresh, creamy, and balanced with a subtle hint of sesame. The pomegranate seeds added a fruity kick – unfortunately, they weren't quite fresh anymore, which was a bit of a shame. The main course, Palestinian-style kapsa, was very filling and warming. The portion was generous, and the dish overall was filling. Unfortunately, the rice was noticeably overcooked, and the chicken was quite dry and tough. The otherwise delicate oriental spices were unfortunately overpowered by a dominant paprika aroma – I would have preferred more nuance here. The cranberry-rhubarb spritzer, on the other hand, was refreshing and fruity. Overall, a lovely place with a lot of potential – I'd be happy to return and look forward to more dishes from the diverse menu.

Don 't be fooled, because we weren 't disappointed. Quite the opposite: this meal was a revelation. The service was a bit reserved but still attentive. You just have to get used to it. A very nice, clear menu with many dishes we weren 't familiar with. After studying the menu for a long time, we ordered, and it was incredibly delicious. To anyone else who hasn 't eaten here before, we just say, let yourself be surprised and enjoy. Many thanks to the Bastet team for this wonderful experience. Annett, Peter, Rainer, and Irene
