Lotus — Restaurant in Baden-Baden

I got the Thai special for lunch, which was chicken Thai curry with rice for 10 euros. First and foremost, it was tasty! The chicken pieces were juicy and flavorful.

Five stars for timely service, cleanliness,...

The rice is good, the vegetables are normal. At last avoid...

This place has many great qualities - kind staff, quick service, reasonable prices, very generous portions and lovely position in the town of Baden Baden.

The meal was big which was great, however the black bean flavour was very strong and over powering and the vegetables tasted a little bit off which prevented me from finished my meal. There was also so much sauce that my vegetables were drowned in it. I don’t think I will return to eat at this restaurant, at least definitely not for the...
