Burg Restaurant - Königstein im Taunus

After hours I had my lunch after a court ordered was sold out and I was supposed to be reached by phone only minutes after ordering. Alternatiw was offered me a cheaper court on the phone without refund.

We were in the main square of Königstein im Taunus waiting to catch the bus, when we realized that, on the opposite side, there was an Afghan restaurant. Intrigued by a cuisine we did not know, we therefore decided to have lunch at the Burg restaurant. Decorated with carpets, antique carved wooden columns and various Afghan objects the interior is elegant and welcoming. We ordered some meat dishes typical of Afghan cuisine: Mantu (Steamed dumplings stuffed with spicy minced meat, served with stewed yellow lentils, fresh coriander tomatoes and yoghurt sauce) and Lamm Spieß Kebab (Grilled lamb skewer with Afghan Qabuli Palau rice) as well as tasty Afghan bread. All dishes were delicious and enhanced by the typical Afghan flavors and smells based on a mix of spices and herbs. The following day we took the train and bus to have lunch there again. Again we found the lamb shank with various roasted vegetables and Qabuli rice delicious. Hamid, who has a long experience of cooking in high level restaurants, is not only an excellent cook but also a very affable and kind person. The atmosphere, the kindness, the good quality of the food and the delicious flavors of the Afghan dishes make it a highly recommended restaurant.

We always saw this restaurant and decided to get something different. We came with a group 4 adults and 3 kids. The restaurant was very small and a bit tight. The server was friendly and took our order quick, but the food took a while to come. When the food did come out, it turned out amazing. All the items were freshly made and full of flavor. I will say that the restaurant is not kid friendly as they have no high chairs. I would come back but not with little kids.

Absolutely a great place to eat. Food is sumptuous, tastes great and the service (owner) is such a joy to converse with. He played the guitar for my son and myself for about 20 mins. Sehr empfehlenswert!!! Super Restaurant, das essen ist super vorbereitet und sehr, sehr lecker. Ausserdem ist das Service wirklich sehr gut.

The food was delicious, you get little meat, but also large amount of supplements to be rich -;)the chef takes care of everything. the prices are in order.
