Enjoyed the friendly host, the tall drink of water who also took my order and with gusto. Also enjoyed the blue-haired server with a nice smile, that in turn, made me smile. As rare as the eclipse, but almost as beautiful unless you stare at it for too long. The spicy burger, whose name I won't pretend to know how to pronounce, was very good. Spice level was just about right (for me) so probably 'quite' spicy for mere mortals. Accompanied by the onion rings with its own dipping sauce and a beer with the best logo I've seen for a long time... it was a mighty fine afternoon. Though the burger was fantastic, it wasn't quite enough for me to remember it for the rest of my life. Would I eat here again? Certainly would. Can I recommend it to burger aficionados? Definitely. Is the earth flat? No comment.

Unfortunately, during my time in Oslo, I did not get much of a chance to eat the local food, since…read morethis city is pretty expensive. However, for some strange reason, hamburgers are supposedly popular in Scandinavia, and are usually the cheaper option. We were really hungry and ended up here after a really busy day exploring this city. I got a cheeseburger here, and after putting some lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup and a little mayonnaise, it was a very juicy burger, combined with the softness of the bun. The price was fairly reasonable for Norwegian standards, it was less than 150 NOK. The fries here are decently good and have a nice crisp. Another good choice is their kebab platters, and I also think the prices are also reasonable. We sat by a nice glass window, and you could do some "people watching" from there. The people who worked there were fairly nice, but you might have to speak in the simplest English words possible. Overall, if you are looking for a somewhat inexpensive and simple lunch/dinner in a good location in Oslo, this place might be a good choice. I don't think it is an amazing restaurant in a city like Oslo, but you can get your stomach full without spending too much money.

But when I saw it had opened I had to go in. The menu are fairly simplistic but you can add stuff for free or get some extra of the more fancy sides/extras for a small price. The waitresses and chef was really pleasant and helpful to me, and they get extra cred since the one who took my order was from my home area in Sweden. Okey... The burgers. Well, I dont really know where to place this one. It was not a fancy burger as from "Kverneriet" but more a burger of the class of Munchies. But it was really good! It lacked a bit of zing and taste but had a nice creamy cheese, perfect bun and a good sice of the beef. And it was greasy! The perfect amout greasy after a long day or a night of drinking.

Illegal seems to get some pretty negative scoring reviews but I throughly enjoyed my visit. First thing to note is that it was late on. 11pm or maybe even 11.30pm, but they were still very much open when we ventured in for dinner number two of the day. We had already had a few beers and were glad to see we could get a another one with our burger. They had some Interesting Norwegian craft beer bottles I had never seen before, so all good on that front. There was some very laid back but funky style tunes playing and the staff were friendly enough. The burger was fine, nothing special, but tasty enough. The prices were normal Oslo mega bucks standards as would be expected. I also tried their big rival Munchies, but in my opinion Illegal is much better. Ok burger, cool place, nice beer.

I had the mixed grill and loved it. The food was tasty and arrived quickly. The staff were friendly and efficient. We left completely stuffed! We went on a Saturday night and it was mobbed, but they still managed to squeeze us in. Two things worth mentioning. There is no alcohol and you pay at the till at the end rather than them bringing you the bill. Neither are a big deal and when the food is so good you don't nind about either of these things!

Luckily, there are places like Istanbul that reminds us that kebab is a wonderful dish when freshly prepared. Istanbul is a great outlet for typical Turkish kebabs - beef, lamb, chicken etc - along with other interesting Turkish menu items like rice-and-meat dishes, lahmacun, lentil soups etc. For vegetarians there are falafels. It's cheap enough to be a quick late-night doner takeaway (69kr), but also nice enough for dining-in and enjoying a complete meal. I was very satisfied with the 3-skewer sis kebab (160kr), a generous portion complete with bulgur, grilled peppers, yoghurt, salad and free bread. The beef may be a touch too chewy, but that's kinda given for the price. Probably doesn't get better value than this in Oslo.
