    Sagene Lunsjbar is an enigma: it's too good to be a neighborhood cafe, yet it doesn't give enough…read morecompelling reason for a repeat visit for non-Sageners. I was here for an after-work monthly gathering with colleagues (lønningspils), chosen for its cozy atmosphere for drinks and dining options from scandinavian to french/italian menu. The Sagenepølser (sausages) are surprisingly good, but the ravioli is very average. I think it's fine to order husmannskost in this lunsjbar, but leave the other foods to dedicated italian/french restaurants elsewhere. It's best to think of Sagene Lunsjbar not as a restaurant to go to, but as a convenient meeting place in the neighborhood (as it was originally intended to be) with some dining of slightly higher quality.

    I have come to this place for years but lately it has been going downhill. They have become too…read morecomfortable in their situation and it seems they are not trying at all anymore. I had a complaint recently due to the fact that I was served something differently than what was ordered. I clearly got old food served, stale bread to begin with and reserved dippings. When I complained I got a very poor explanation (chili in the aioli that it has never been served with, nor what my companion was served or what has ever been served, it looked suspiciously like shrimp leftovers from a previous table). I had to pay full price as well. Not a lot of money but still stale bread with left over aioli is not worth that amount of money. I will not be returning, and I hope you will consider this as well.

    Saba is as real as it gets in Oslo. In the evening this place becomes a busy watering hole to get…read morehonest-to-goodness Eritrean food and drinks with friends. The music blasts loud, people chatting even more loudly, and fingers get dirty dipping into red spicy stews. I wonder why I don't go here more often. As is traditional Eritrean/Ethiopian food, we get one large shared plate of sour pancakes called Injera, topped with little stews called tsebhi (or wot in Ethiopian). For the first visits, I would recommend the "combination" so you can sample different mixes of minced beef stew, vegetable, egg and chicken. You then rip apart the pancakes and use it gleefully to scoop up the meats. The sponge-like injera beautifully absorbs all the juices. It's actually very similar to Ethiopian cuisine, just with different names, and only the true aficionados (not me) could tell them apart. What I notice though is it is more sour and less earthy than any Ethiopian food I have ever had, and tasted of more use of tomatoes. This tiiny bit of over-tanginess - their injera is also very sour - probably keeps me from giving it a full-blown 5, otherwise, the spices are really spot on for my liking, and I always have a weakness for ethnic cuisine made from the heart :)

    Service was good but the food portions were on the small side and hence not great value. The sushi…read morequality was average. This place was family friendly which was nice.

    Sometimes it's more about what, specifically, your body is craving, than how objectively good the…read morefood is. This was unquestionably the case here at Fragrance of the Heart, which appeared out of the (literal) mist with red lentil dal, exactly at the moment I became fed up with Norwegian food and started craving red lentil dal. It was wonderful, but of course it was. It was singularly what I was searching for. Their namesake bowl wasn't as impressive. They sort of just threw a bunch of stuff into a bowl with no regard for how it might work together. Smoked tofu? Potatoes? Brown guacamole? Beans? Sure. I can say that the ginger lemonade was great and unaided by my cravings, as I didn't know I wanted it until I saw it. It was so gingery as to rival Jamaican ginger juice, which is no joke.

A calm atmosphere where the servers speak softly, people read newspaper instead of Yelping, and serene flute wafts in the background. In this respect, I get why some would adore this cafe. But to be fair, I'm not the right person to rate this establishment fully, as this opinion is strictly about food and less than a holistic view of the cafe. It may be food for the soul, but it's not exactly food for the foodies. Menu includes two kinds of quiches, two soups of the day and an assortment of veggie lasagnas, spinach pies and avocado wraps. The pies don't look that appetizing to be honest, as if it has been premade days ahead and unfrozen. The creamy leek soup was ok actually, if rather unexciting and half a note too tangy. On a good note, their coffee is raved by other reviewers and it does deliver. It is somewhat overpriced for its standards and this holds back its value.

They have a bunch of toppings like caramelized onions, raw onions, jalapeños, fried onions, pickled onions, chili, relish, all sorts of stuff basically. I got my first dog with homemade mustard, ketchup, caramelized onions, and crispy fried onions. IT WAS SOOO GOOD the crispy onions with the caramelized onions. Then I came back a couple days later and the guy remembered me. I asked for a double dog (bc I thought it was two dogs in one bun) but they gave me two separate dogs so I got one with mashed potatoes and pickled onions and my same order from the other day. My og order was better but the taters were good, coulda used some extra pickled onions. I also got these ones with the potato wrap bc I felt like I had to try it. Definitely not needed with the bun but they were good.

They could speak both English and Norwegian which is helpful because there wasn't an English menu that we could see unfortunately. I recommend the spicy hotdog, and then the sour!
