Hylla has existed at Manglerud for as long as I can remember, however they recently moved from one side of the mall into a new space on the ground floor. Their new location is quite nice and includes an outdoor seating area which is excellent during summer.
Hylla is a typical neighborhood restaurant, filled with locals that all seam to know each other. From friends and family I have heard talk about quiz night every first Thursday of the month, and regular karaoke night. I must admit the crowd is a little older than most places that I hang out, but I still think it is great that a neighborhood restaurant tries to be a little bit creative and bring people together! I am definitely getting a crowd together to try these things out!
The waiters are friendly and helpful, and I have yet to have a bad meal. I can still remember from Hylla's old location that the food was good. As I have grown older and wiser since my last visit, I do miss some more vegetables on my plate. Still the portions are generous and you will not leave hungry. Their menu has a great selection of different dishes, regular and spicy, so there really is something for everyone. I also must say, I was IMPRESSED by how fast we were served our food on a Friday night, big plus for fast service especially since I was hungry long before walking in.
Definitely recommend for people who dear to wander a little bit away from the down town area of Oslo. Hylla is just a quick subway ride with the Eastbound number 4 subway to Manglerud station. read more
