"Service 5/5 price 5/5 Good for a quick (but not necessarily good) bite. And whilst the food portions were big, the quality was not up to standard. 3/5."

"The food of this place is for many years absolutely superior, great and fairly affordable arabic food with many options. Unfortunately, service is not so good, doesn't know which beverages are available in the fridge and wants costumers to talk directly with the chef about special requests along with rather bad German language skills despite being friendly and courteous. I recommend you support them though as they seem to struggle with the aftermath of the pandemic. Either way I'm still recommending them for great Arabic food with great on-plate presentation."

"Ich hatte den Tipp bekommen, dass es in diesem Restaurant in Hannover Tabouleh Salat frisch zubereitet gäbe, daher bin ich dorthin und habe festgestellt, dass es für 7,50 € einen vorzüglichen Tabouleh Salat, wie man ihn sich vorstellt und man nicht selbst besser zubereiten könnte, zusammen mit einem Stück Brot gibt, ich war sehr zufrieden und konnte wegen des guten Wetters draußen sitzen zum Genießen, in Dubai habe ich auch keinen besseren gegessen... Ich bin im November 22 noch mal dort gewesen und habe diesmal nachdem ich vorher die Speisekarte studiert habe einen Liebling Teller geordert, der besteht aus verschiedensten Salaten, dabei auch Tabouleh Salat, Schawarma wahlweise aus Hühnchen oder Lamm und Falafel, dazu habe ich ein frisch gezapftes Ayran getrunken, das dort nicht nur im Becher abgepackt sondern auch aus einem Ayran-Brunnen angeboten wird, zum Nachtisch habe ich noch vom Haus einen Tee kredenzt bekommen und das ganze für 11 €, es war total lecker, ging schnell, die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, auf jeden Fall eine der ersten Adressen für vorderasiatische Gerichte in Hannover. Leider ist im Moment der Ayran Brunnen kaputt und es gibt Ayran nur aus dem Kühlschrank aber das Essen ist wieder einzigartig gut, die Mitarbeiter total freundlich - immer einen Besuch wert. Top! 06/23: der Ayran Brunnen funktioniert leider immer noch nicht, Ayran gibt es also leider nur im Plastikbecher aus der Kühlung - dafür ist jetzt wieder der Außenbereich geöffnet, bei gutem Wetter eine echte Empfehlung! 08/24: ich hole mir hin und wieder den Liebling Teller zum mitnehmen, wärme mir dann zu Hause Schawarma und Falafel auf und genieße dann das Ganze - unangenehm ist nur, dass die Bushaltestelle in der Nähe außer Betrieb ist seit einiger Zeit wegen Bauarbeiten, man muss bis zur Straßenbahn zum Steintor laufen - das Essen zeichnet sich nach wie vor durch ein perfektes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis aus 09/25: lange waren die Preise stabil, jetzt sind sie angeglichen worden, der LieblingsTeller, den ich am liebsten habe, kostet jetzt 12,00 €, ist aber nach wie vor ein sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Das Restaurant ist nach meinem Wissen einmalig in Hannover für den leckeren Tabouleh Salat, der jetzt wohl 10,00 € kostet, absolut okay für den Aufwand und die Portion - Five stars!"

"Ein nettes Restaurant. Sehr gute und zentrale Lage Sehr freundliche und aufmerksame Bedienung. Die Speisekarten ist super. Für jeden ist etwas dabei. Preise sind vollkommen in Ordnung Der Laden hat noch viel mehr Potenzial. Veralterte Einrichtung. Verdreckte stühle Auch mit viel altem Holz Meine Meinung. Neue Tische, neue Stühle, neuer Anstrich und neuen Pep rein. Der Laden wird danach viel mehr besucht."

"Friendly people, good food and low prices. The menu is in German only but the staff is nice and helpful. Many tables and seats to eat in total relax. In the background you hear oriental music at very low volume so it's not annoying. The plates are big and full."
