A great new restaurant in Sindelfingen is the Tara Restaurant on the Wettbachplatz. That’s in the pedestrian zone near the intersection of the Poststrasse and the Untere Torgasse. Parking is best in the Stern Center garage, but there’s street parking in many places.
If you like to talk American football, one of the owner/waiters played for 20 years in various AF leagues in Germany.
The restaurant is wonderfully clean and the seating area is fresh and light. The staff is constantly looking over the dining are, looking for customers who might need something. They provide a handy tool to make it easy for you to signal a waiter, but I’ll let you be surprised when you go there.
The menu is only a suggestion, according to the owners. If you want something a bit different, just speak up. They require employees to have English knowledge, so that shouldn’t be a concern.
We ordered a cheeseburger, a side salad and a baked potato. Burgers and steaks are definite specialities. They grind the meat for the burgers themselves, adding some egg and a bit of paneermehl to hold it together on the grill. My husband, normally a conqueror when it comes to the food on his plate, could not finish this burger.
The waiter (I think he was also the owner) brought out a fresh T-bone steak to the next table so he could explain the concept to those who’d never seen one before. There was also a nice little appetizer brought to our table that we wolfed down.
I ordered a homemade lemonade, titled “American Lemonade.” Wrong. Not American – way too tart. But it was fabulous, and they did serve a couple of ice cubes with it. My baked potato WAS American-sized, and had a cheese sauce with a slice of crispy bacon. There was pretty good cole slaw in the salad, and the ingredients were fresh without too heavy a dressing.
They also offer Caesar salad, hot dogs, and Schwabian food. There’s also a terrace out front for sunny days, although tonight it was raining.
Great place, great food, great service. Who could ask for more?
