Returning to the fatherland from France ain't easy. It's like leaving an air conditioned room in a heat wave, to buy an ice cream. You see the reward, but the price is discomfort. This place is a normal German dining experience. Cheeky, friendly service and a mixed blessing of dishes from good to "oh, I'm not in france any more". Neither is this place a cheap eat. It used to be that at least the trains run on time in Germany, unlike France. Sadly, it's the other way around now.

It was expensive but worth it. Good food and service only don't give a tip, they already do it when you pay.

I dined at the denkMAHL restaurant on two separate evenings while working in Kassel for Ro-ka-tech. I truly enjoyed the atmosphere on the terrace, the dishes eaten were delicious on both evenings and the service level was quite decent.

Fabulous restaurant with impeccable service; Personable and attentive waiters, which made for an enjoyable experience. Everything was served fresh and full of flavour. The steak was cooked as requested & the mash potato is unbelievably good! Creme brulee for desert was definitely the star of the show for me! Highly recommend

A really nice place for all you can eat brunch on Sunday! Friendly stuff, open to help or answer questions. Plenty of nice food, decent coffee and an opportunity to press orange juice yourself or to make waffles make denkMAHL a must-visit-again place

Restaurant located in Friedrich Ebert Str, which is most popular place in the Kassel city town. Almost all the bars , disco and restaurants located in this street. I mean in the city town, of course many restaurants and bars all around the Kassel but here is the heart of the town. DenkMahl was dinner stop for us , they have small garden , insaid the restaurant have nice sitting area. Most of the dinner time is busy. Steak, pizza etc. Options they have. Beef steak was really delicious , tender, portion was big, about price if you compare another place was a bit higher. For 2 steak, one cola and beer we paid around 90 Euro, which is high. I know because I've tried many restaurants in Kassel. But taste really good. Staff was friendly, service not so fest. End of your dinner u will have small sweet from the house, that's so nice Good location , if you looking for taste recommend but don't look for the price .
