It was our first time in the place like I said, so when we came in with our stroller, we didn't know it would be so tight. We were not greeted at all, but instead, promptly told to get our wagon out. We came back in and had to ask for a baby seat. After a small while he brought us back a child seat and we found our table. Went in to listen to music and have a coffee/tea. It was a little early to have dinner yet, so my husband ordered coffee. I asked which kind of tea they had and he said "just regular" so I asked "what kind of regular, black, green?.." He only had earl grey which I couldn't have because I am still breastfeeding, so instead I ordered water while we waited for the music to start and think about what we wanted to eat. The owner asked if we wanted to order our food and when we said "we don't want to order food right now," he kicked us out. Literally said "det går ikke. Vi betale for mye for dere å bare sitte her." Just an FYI to the owner, Every time my husband and I have gone to listen to music at a new place, we ALWAYS visit again. Your job as a business owner is to make everyone feel welcome so that they come again! This guy completely missed his chance at making new customers and we won't be going back for sure. Feeling really bummed that were missing out on the music tonight too. Good musicians don't deserve to have their audience kicked out!!!!!

Oh I am thorn. Because the flavours are really good. Service was good. Prices are as expected…read more However, the interior and overall ambiance is more like 'order, eat and leave'. Simplistic and not very cozy. Buuut. Have in mind. The food was 4-5 for me and I had a great Lebanese red wine. Try the kebab and the Lebaneh (think thats the name of the home made cheese dish). Pita bread was yummy too and the same goes for the rest I had. For me its about the whole experience. I would for sure eat here again, but its not where you bring your Tinder date=) Book a table in advance because its a very popular place.

I had ordred takeaway from Ben Reddik in Oslo on Saturday evening in the middel of the easter…read morehollidays. They had confirmed by SMS two days before when the order was placed that I could pick up the food at 18:00. Then on Saturday when I was going to pick up the food I waited first in the rain and 4 degrees for 10 min before the staff asked for my name, then I waited another 25 min before taking my name for the second time. He checked the order list and said they had no order on my name. So after 35-40 my wait I left without food. Since it was late on Easter Eve, it was not easy to get food elsewhere in the city - but fortunately I got food from Saray. They had a long wait to order, but they called me and explained why and that they arrived as soon as they could. When Saray delivered I was given some extra food as a compensation because it had taken some time before they brought the food. The food from Saray was good, service superb. I can't say that about Ben Reddik, I wrote SMS and sent mld via insta but got no reply! They are probably a popular restaurant that right now, in the middle of the corona era, and does not have to deal with customer service or know what it means! Anyway they end up on the minus side when it comes to from me.

I found this place by luck while researching Oslo online. This is quite a hidden gem in a small…read moreneighborhood close to the center. The interior when you walk in is spacious yet cozy. Pillows and throws on love seats that line the walls. Patterned rugs on the floors. Very quaint and adorable. There are a few menu items that you can order by themselves (like a normal restaurant), but the main event at this place are the Mediterranean "Tapas". They call them "mezah". The menu is only in Norwegian, but from what I understood, you can choose any combination of Mezah, each costing 40 nok, or have the chef choose 6 for you, and they will cost 160 nok for vegetarian or 180 nok for meat and vegetarian (so you save quite a bit). This combo comes with pita and feeds one (hungry) person. My boyfriend and I decided to each order one, so we got quite the variation of Mezah's to try. Some were very good, others not so much. The Bulgur, Tsatsiki, Kyllingvinger (chicken wings) and Kjøtboller (meatballs) were our favorites. We did not like the Baba Ganosh or the Squash, but maybe that's just our aversion to "weird vegetables" as we like to call them haha. Everything else was good. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who likes to try new things, is hungry, and is in the mood for Mediterranean/ Turkish/ middle eastern food. It might be a little pricey, but definitely worth trying a lot of different dishes.

I wanted to have a seafood meal on the water, and this place was perfect!…read more I took a taxi from my hotel, it dropped my friend and me off around the corner, we walked down to the water, and got a table outside with a nice view of the harbor. While this is a seafood restaurant, it has several Greek items on the menu. We ordered beers and looked at the menu. They brought us cold beers, and we ordered Norwegian oysters, calamari, and I had the Halibut for my main. The oysters were spectacular! I am not a fan of warm water oysters in the summer, but knowing these come from the cold waters around Norway, I was happy, and boy, were they good! The Calamari was tender and sweet, but the best part of the meal was my Halibut- perfectly cooked, and the lemon sauce was divine, as well as the potatoes and cabbage. We had a nice bottle of white wine as well. Our waiter was attentive without being overbearing, all in all, an excellent dinner on the water- just what I wanted!
