Electric Lotus Restaurant review, Dresden

The Electric Lotus is located on Louisestrasse which is quite a hip area. There's a long counter with the menu posted above and about seven wooden tables with chairs scattered around the one large room. The atmosphere was pretty basic but the fresh flowers on all the tables cheered things up a bit. The restaurant bills itself as veggie fast food and the menu is simple: bio burger, dahl, thai curry, "mediterranean art", gulash, crepes, and a couple bottled drinks. They have a deal for 6 Euros where you get an appetizer, main, dessert, and some other stuff I couldn't understand because it was in German. Customers order, pay, and pick up food at the counter. The girl who took my order spoke English. I went with the dahl which came as a huge bowl with rice for 3.30 Euros total. The dahl was sweeter than the dahl (lentils) found in most Indian restaurants in American where I've eaten. It was not spicy at all but there were a variety of spices at the counter one could use to add some heat. I think next time I would try the burger or the special combo if I could figure it out. Electric Lotus was nice for a cheap veggie meal and I would return to try other dishes.
