Kilimanjaro

Top choice in Hanover


Feast on zebra steak (yes, really), thieboudienne (a traditional Senegalese fish dish) and other African specialities at this little restaurant in the Altstadt. Service can be slow but the food is delicious. Try one of the homemade juices: tamarind, ginger, even baobab. There are several vegetarian and vegan dishes, too.
