Viele gute Zutaten aber...  de

Einen kleinen Fußweg von der Stadtbahnstation Gerlingen liegt das Dejavù. Eigentlich sollte hier ein Burgerlokal sein aber seit kurzem residiert hier ein Fast Food Imbiss mit Schwerpunkt auf Burgern und Pizzen. Na ja, was solls und zügig einen Burger bestellt.

Optisch wirkte der Burger sehr ansprechend auf mich und die Süßkartoffelfritten konnten mich geschmacklich überzeugen. Aber wieso muss bei ansonsten sehr guten Zutaten zwischen den beiden Brötchenhälften eine vermutlich fertige Tiefkühlfleischmasse verwendet werden? Schade, denn das hat den ansonsten guten Eindruck bei mir ruiniert. Vielleicht sind die Pizzen hier ja besser denn für so einen Burger würde ich nicht wieder herkommen.

Authentic and tasty ramen in cosy atmosphere

There are two vegan starters and two vegan main dishes on their menu. The food was always tasty and very nice staff cared about us, special requests are taken into account and the dishes are adjusted according. The owner is very kind, always open for a chat and converted the location into a very cosy spot. I like this place and visit it frequently.

Below average burger

Fast food restaurant selling only vegan food. Unnecessarily, they sell milk based aryan as well.

At my first visit, we tried a burger, a wrap and fries. The latter is an item I won’t take again and can not recommend, but the burger and the wrap were satisfying. The staff was nice as well and took the time to explain their concept and products. However, after two more visits I can not recommend the burger anymore. Its dry, boring and overpriced and I’m not planning to visit them again.

On all my visits preparing the food took quite a while. Moreover, food is served in disposable tableware only, and they do not have any restrooms.

More than just a place to eat

Pfannenzauber is a fully vegan restaurant where most of the staff are totally committed to the concept and are friendly and cheerful, they are also committed to combatting food waste!

The food is most of the time very tasty and a seasonal menu ensures a change of their offer. However, there’s a huge fluctuation in portion size, sometimes it’s way too small. They offer a free portion of fries if your dish contained fries and was not sufficient to satisfy your hunger, which is nice, but not what I am looking for. There are in general many items on the menu that one expects to find at a snack point, but not in a restaurant. If one ignores the latter, one can basically just choose between the two saisonal options.

EDIT: Since December 2025 payments by cards are accepted, so ignore the following paragraph and appreciate the missing 5th star.
Moreover, refusing payments by card was already outdated 10 years ago. They have a couple of arguments why they refuse it, which would be valid if one would expect card only payments, but that was not what the discussion was about.

Fries, fries, fries

If you’re not interested in fries, you better look for another place. They offer several vegan dishes which are indicated as such on the menu.

However, the amount of vegan options decreased significantly in the course of the last year. The same applies to the portion sizes and and amount of ‘toppings’. The vegan currywurst e.g. contains only traces of sauce. Since, the prizes went also up, the stars of this review went further down.

Share Text & Files Reliably

App is simple to use and works over LAN / WLAN. Makes life easy by sharing text, files, apps, media to other networks on the same network. The exchange traffic is also encrypted which is good for privacy and security.

Access YouTube with Privacy

I have been using NewPipe for more than 5 years to access YouTube and I must say it always works as expected. No ads, background playback, video/audio downloads, offline subscription, I use all of those features.

The app will break very rarely, but it’s not NewPipe’s fault. Google now & then makes a change in YouTube service which breaks the app, but the community finds a solution / workaround which gets fixed quickly in the next hotfix version.

Beyond YouTube, the app also has support to access video/audio contents PeerTube, SoundCloud, CCC Media, etc.,

Beautiful Historical Temple

This is an historical site maintained by Archeological Survey of India (ASI). A temple dedicated to Lord Shiva which was built between 9 CE - 10 CE.

Though it is located in Chikkaballapur district of today’s Karnataka, the temple has evidences of stone inscriptions with Tamil letters in it which possibly links to Chola empire influence along with other regional empires from time to time.

Often people visit only the Nandi hill top but miss this masterpiece located downhill. There is ample space for car parking & paid washrooms are also available.

It is not only an historical relic but a living temple with daily rituals taking place. This is a dual shrine temple, one for Bhoga Nandishwara & other for Arunchala.

The pond is what I loved the most in this temple. Since it was full, they had locked it when we went but the view even from the gate is spectacular.

I highly recommend to visit this place.
Parking: 40 INR for car.

Needs Active Development

Reviews was one of the key missing component in the opendata & Openstreetmap ecosystem. This project along with mangrove.reviews has the potential to fill that gap.

Lib.reviews is simple & easy to use compared with mangrove.reviews since it sticks to a traditional account & web based approach.

Not all API endpoints are implemented as of writing this review and the project also needs to be actively developed & maintained.

While technical contributors can improve the code, everyone should focus on adding reviews which is what this project will be valued for.

Together we can get rid of Big Tech dependency one thing at a time. Let’s keep moving!

Much appreciation & love to the developer who started this project. Commons FTW!

Pizzeria und Eisdiele in Hannover-Vahrenwald  de

Eine seltene Mischung aus Eisdiele und Pizzeria, mit Blick auf die Speisekarte eher ein komplettes italienisches Restaurant, liegt in einer Nebenstraße in einem unscheinbaren Zweckbau. Eine überdachte Terrasse und, bei den Temperaturen zu unserem Besuch sehr willkommen, eine Klimaanlage im Inneren. Die Einrichtung ist, wie das Gebäude auch, nach Fertigstellung nicht weiter angefasst worden. Aber was solls, die Speisen stehen hier im Mittelpunkt.

Die Pizzen waren allesamt sehr gut. Dünn gebackener Teig, gut belegt und schmackhaft. Leider war die Auswahl der Nachspeisen stark auf Eisspeisen fokussiert. Eine Tiramisu beispielsweise habe ich sehr vermisst. Und ein Apfelstrudel ist nicht unbedingt ein typisch italienisches Dessert.

Dieses Restaurant ist für einen Besuch ohne weite Weg empfehlenswert.
