I haven't actually sat to eat here but I have had some of their take-away food, which was…read moredelicious. Their hummus is great and so is their falafel. I have been dissapointed multiple times when trying to stop by for a late dinner and they had closed early (around 22:30) even though their opening hours mention they're open until 23:00. Recommended for those who like a wide assortment of middle-eastern specialties, but come early before closing.

Not impressed, sorry guys. Very overage food. I had couscous with vegies. Half of the vegies was…read morepotato, enough said. The only spice in the sause was cinnamon, no herbs, no nothing. On the other hand prices are low, so I guess you get what you pay for. Perhabs, they were very overwhelmed by our big group (it was a Qype dinner). Also some of the guys had special menu and they did a good job, putting a lot of effort in it. There was not much effort in my dish though. The restaurant is small and cosy, there's open kitchen. Stuff is friendly, menu is pretty diverse. And the last: at the end thy offer their guests self-made schanps, very decent quality!

A very chic Lebanese Restaurant. The service is very good…read more The only waiter there, is very friendly, but yet very serious and professional. the way he served us the food and drinks was more than impressive. The mezza has a wide choice, and if you have a special request they usually comply. We asked for the 7 dishes mezza and asked for an extra plate of Labneh (a less liquid sort of yogurt) and they got it for us with no extra charge. the meza was vegetarian but we also ordered a plate of Kebbe! It was very good. I had the chicken dish: djaj a frike but my friends had the Meat Makloube! It was delicious, much better than the chicken. which was nonetheless really good. We had lebanese wine: Clos St Thomas! I personally loved it. At the end they offered us coffee for free! It was very good. the arabic mocca coffee! Very lebanesy, puts you in the mood! So if you have a special occasion, and you want to have exotic food. And on Fridays as of 9, theres a belly dancer, which unlike i imagined, was not german! She was a pure bread arab belly dancer, and she did a good show, inviting the patrons to dance along, and teach the women to shake their booty! Its the place to go it deserves its 5 stars

We visited this restaurant on a Friday evening with a group of 8. There was a reservation for us to…read moreensure a table, but honestly it was probably unnecessary. The place was not empty, but was not busy for a Friday at 7 pm. For our large group, we ordered 4 rounds of the Bekaa Mesa, their largest assortment of appetizers, to start. This meant that about 30 or so small plates of dips, meats, and finger foods was brought to our table. They were all elegantly prepared, and many of them paired great with the baskets of pita provided for the table (which we had to keep refilling). My only complaint was the unclear response from our server when we asked what dishes had nuts. My partner is allergic to all kinds, so we wanted to know which dishes to avoid. Our servers gestured to some plates but was mostly unclear of which dishes we should for sure avoid. I stressed a little as we ate, but it all went (and tasted) well. After this, some people ordered main meals, dessert, or more appetizers. I personally got another mesa, as I enjoyed being able to taste so many things. My partner got the schisch taouk, and I can say I was jealous. His plate looked amazing. Also note that it comes with half a pita pizza and potatoes, as well as the salad, dip, and chicken listed on the menu. I sampled some of it (when he let me), and it was amazing. In conclusion, I greatly enjoyed my food here. My complaints would be that the menu is not descriptive enough of the dishes, meaning you are not truly sure of what you order. As the partner of someone with many allergies, this can be a source of stress, and we would have appreciated more empathy from the staff with these concerns.

I ordered the falafel-teller platter, which came with five falafel balls, humus, tzatziki sauce,…read moreand two vegetable sides. I chose cauliflower and chickpeas. The portions were very generous, so I was definitely full after finishing my meal. The cauliflower was my favorite part of the dish; it was spectacular, and I would definitely order this as a side if you come here. The falafel was good but not excellent -- I really enjoyed the texture (very soft yet crispy outside), but I didn't think it tasted as great as other falafel I've had (it was still yummy, though, don't get me wrong). Chickpeas aren't my favorite, so I don't know why I ordered this side, and I thought they were decent but not amazing (I enjoyed the tomato sauce). The tzatziki sauce was excellent (very flavorful), and I really enjoyed this along with the humus, which tasted great as a dip for the pita and falafel. The staff was very accommodating, and I liked the setup of the (small) restaurant quite a bit, with a variety of seating arrangements including lower couch-side seats. Overall, this restaurant had excellent service, atmosphere, and food, so I would highly recommend eating here. Although the falafel wasn't excellent, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and also saw some other great looking dishes around (including a fried empanada). I will be back here for sure.

Azeitona's charm comes from its rundown but cozy establishment. Great place to eat really cheap and…read morereally good food. I had the mezze for 2 and It was wonderful. My personal favorite: their hummus! The place is perfect to hang out with friends, but it's not that big...so don't plan your next birthday party over there. On the downside, staff might have been very friendly but they were rather inattentive. Also, I had a pomegranate lassi which was not nice at all. It was small and way too sweet (taste was rather artificial). If you want to drink something opt for tea. Other than that, I can't wait to try another dish. Mucho love, D.

If the lamb is on special and you are an eater of lamb, I implore you to take it. This is the…read morereasoning I used and left highly sated in terms of red meat levels and happiness factor. The service was lovely, especially in regards to keeping wine glasses full, explaining the menu (going the extra kilometer to explain in english the specials), providing quick translations and overall just being very pleasant and excited about the experience. My lamb with veggies in a mint/thyme sauce was elegantly plated and the taste surely matched the looks. A medium portion, just enough to fill up but not be overly full. The cinnamon rice I snagged from across the table was also quite a treat...savory sweet. We had a range of appetizers, the standouts being the falafel and the red beet paste. The dipping sauces for the bread were a bit bland, and the other starters quite small (more like tapas, but smaller) so a bit hard to split amongst the group easily. A lovely dinner for our group of 7. Half German, half American. All happy. *reservations suggested. *cash or German EC only. Total: 200 euros with tip. Not bad at all for the quality and panache of the evening.

There are more authentic Lebanese/Syrian restaurants in Hamburg. The guys made quite an effort so…read moreit's a little bit of a heartbreaker to give them three stars, but it is what it is. The main problem is, that the food really lacks authenticity and yet it comes at a quite high price for what it is. Please trust me on this one I have travelled the entire Middle East and I know what their cuisine is like. As a real Hamburg Docker I'll give you a heads up and recommend looking for another Syrian/Lebanese place to eat.

Love it! I wrote a review of Mazza on my blog (before I was on Yelp) and have been telling everyone…read moreI run into that they should try this place out.
