The wings sauce had a nice kick, but not too hot. The burger was so juice and perfectly cooked and the fish and chips batter was one of the best I've had. It came with a big side of pea purée. The waiting was a bit longer than expected, but well worth it. Pricey, but we expected that being in Norway.

The omelette and salad are pictured and were both wonderful. The bruschetta was the highlight of the meal, it was the perfect size to split for a starter. The staff was very kind and attentive.

Seating was offered both inside and outside (shade and sun) with blankets offered for outside seating. The restaurant was also easy to find and very centrally located. I would recommend!

Zarinas offers both gluten free options for pizza and for pasta and the meal was fantastic, especially the home-made crusts for the regular pizza. The gluten free crusts were from a package (average) but the toppings were delicious and the chef did come out to apologize they didn't have something hand-made and did advise that with 24 hrs notice, they could do a hand-made gluten free crust. We then inquired about gluten free lasagna and he offered to have us come back the next night and he would prepared a gluten free meal just for us. So, the next night we went back after requesting the gluten-free lasagna and sure enough, they had prepared a "family style" meal with a full gluten-free lasagna, salad, garlic toast, and then ice cream and strawberries for the kids for dessert. The meal was fantastic and I can't say enough about their effort to make our evening enjoyable. The restaurant was very family friendly, a nice atmosphere, and a wonderful staff. Highly recommended!

Mother India 1.)…read moreIntroduction It's been awhile since I've done a format of a Yelp review, but since I'm in Norway and I would like my friends from the states as well as prospective patrons to Mother India, Kristiansand, Vest-Adger, Norway to get a feel for this place. 2.) Just to warm you up: I was eyeing this place before ad had to try it. Norwegians tell me that there are better Indian places in the capital (Oslo) but I figured I'd try my luck. I came here as a solo date, I had me, myself and I to wine and dine for the night and I was quite content. 2.) What your eyes may see: The decor here is beautiful. Tapestries of Indian colors. Indian paintings. The walls were covered with all types of colors and art. The dishes were made of tin. Silverware was decorative. The restaurant is owned by a husband and wife, so you'dsee them seating, taking orders and serving alongside their staff. 3.) Food and drink: I ordered a specialized American order, which was Lamb with Saag Paneer, and ordered it spicy. Along with that I ordered Garlic Naan and Mango Lassi. The lassi tasted a little bit carbonated, a little bubbly, but I forced myself to enjoy it. The lamb Saag paneer? Hmmmm, well, lets break down the components. The lamb was kind of dry, the only thing that was good about the Saag Paneer was that it was at the spice level I requested. Other than that, the flavors were somewhat bland, not the intricacies that I normally taste in authentic india cuisine. The rice was was clumpy. 3.) Service: I thought of the service to be fine. The owner was attentive, and the food came out appropriately. 4.) Impressions: Two stars for the food. If I were to say A-OK that means I'd be content coming here again. Perhaps I'll give their other dishes a try when I return. But what I've experience back in the states exceeds this level of Indian food making.

They had many dessert options from brownies to cookies to meringues to macaroons and more! Their coffee list was appropriate and their chai was nicely spiced and not too heavy.

There are outlets located throughout the cafe and a restroom in the basement (not sure if it is accessible any other way). I would recommend stopping in!

Not time to write, need to finish my cappuccino first! :)

When you arrive, you first choose a table and review the menu. Note the number of the table, then you go to the bar to order your food and drink, and pay at the bar. Give them your table number and your food is delivered to your table. The menu has a great deal of variety, from pasta to salads, burgers, and pizza to steak. I had the Kyilling BLT and my colleague enjoyed the Ultimate Burger, and we both enjoyed the food immensely. It's also one of the cheaper restaurants in town, which says a lot, as this town in quite expensive. Though it's cheaper, the quality is still good and the variety is great, so give it a try!!
