eatDOORI – Mumbai street food on Kaiserstraße

I recently visited this extremely trendy eatery that endeavors to bring Indian street food cuisine to Frankfurt. eatDOORI is a small new food chain with two shops in Frankfurt and another one in the larger Rhine-Main area. With its location on Kaiserstraße, it is right in the heart of the hip multi-cultural melting pot of the Bahnhofsviertel. The rapidly gentrifying neighborhood that is still dominated by the red-light and the drug scene is an energetic place where new food options pop up all the time. Kaiserstraße is the central street of the neighborhood and boosts many vibrant new restaurants.

eatDOORI offers a twist on the otherwise typical Indian restaurants that can be found in Germany. It serves street food – some versions of known Indian dishes, some more unusual inventions – in a very trendy cool environment that usually gets very busy. That it gets crowded, is part of the concept of course, trying to resemble the noise and culinary flair of Mumbai. Indeed, in eatDOORI, the tables are cramped together in tight space and agile waiters are rushing through the corridors. The street food on the menu ranges from burgers with flavors from the Indian subcontinent, to sandwiches made with Naan and topped with chutneys. Variants of the traditional curries are also served.

I was craving some really spicy dish and therefore ordered the spiciest sounding curry. It came in a nice portion with plenty of rice. The curry was tasty and as spicy as expected. You can choose different meat that you want to have put in your curry. Unfortunately, the waiter misunderstood me and brought me chicken instead of lamb. Not a big deal, but I think a chicken curry is not very adventurous and I regret it a bit considering that the menu boosted so many interesting creations. I guess I just need to come back and try out some of the more creative dishes. The curry was very flavorful though. Overall, this place is a really trendy cool food shop with an unusual concept that totally works in the vibrant Bahnhofsviertel.
