Karlsrud Mat og Vinhus has always been the neighborhood restaurant at Karlsrud/Lambertseter and has gone through multiple different owners and names, and today was the first time I had the pleasure of trying out the Asian fusion menu that started to a couple of years. Personally I enjoyed it very much!!
I am a regular guest at Karlsrud Mat og Vinhus. For the most part we all enjoy our food, however their "spicy" and "slightly spicy" selection is totally off. Some of their "spicy" food is not spicy at all however my Thai red curry chicken that was unmarked would in my book be classified as "slightly spicy". Same goes for Biff Gongbao which as marked "slightly spicy", was not spicy at all! Still everything taste amazing (although not as expected)!
When it comes to the service I am always pleased. The staff is attentive and pleasant and always make sure our glasses is full and that we are having a good time. In fact I was very surprised that the waiter once offered my mom a new dish when she embarrassedly pointed out that her food was not spicy as indicated. Thumbs up to the waiter who really followed through on this something that is very un-Norwegian!
You can totally feel that this is a neighborhood restaurant by the ambiance, but it is totally worth the trip out to Karlsrud if you are not a local. read more
