At first glance, Raamson seems like a mix of Späti and a grocery store. But despite its looks and various signs that read Indo, Asia, Afro, and Latin, it is actually a canteen offering Tamil specialties. The menu offers various curries – since that’s what Sri Lankan food is all about. You may choose rice or Tamil Thosai, made with lentils and filled with potato masala, as a side. I usually go for the latter and as for curry I prefer the eggplant instead of okra or lamb. A samosa served with a cocoa dip is always a good starter. Both appetizers and curries are truly yummy and authentic here. I shall return soon. (Photos: Benjamin Lindenkreuz)
