But first you gotta climb the steep stair up to the main area where you are greeted by a bar-look-alike counter. On the board, you see the summary of the menu, food on the left and drinks on the right. For detailed menu, grab the menu on the counter. On the left you will find an area with table & chairs where you can sit down. We tried the Hummus & Falafel 163kr and Hummus & Chicken 173kr plates. You will get a plate of hummus and another plate of pita, corn chips, beets salad & few other condiments. The hummus are not bad, a little bland & dry for my taste, I do prefer it to be a little more garlicky. As for the falafel, again, it was OK with lack of flavor & not very crunchy outside. As for the roasted chicken, it was decent & can get a little dry when dip with the pita. That being said, for the price, it really fills you up and I really liked the ambiance. Remind me of a hippy hangout spot with arts, photos on the walls and few knick-knacks for decor.

The restaurant is located in the heart of Oslo, in a touristy area surrounded by plenty of other…read morerestaurants, bars, and cafés. Almost all of them have outdoor tables, and if you just want to stop for a beer, this place is a good choice to relax--and the service is good, but don't expect great food, as it's quite average and not very high quality.

So unprofessional and unorganized. Disappointing behavior. Food was good but I am beyond disappointed in the server that didn't have the common sense to get the bill right. Is it that hard? We went in after our meal to call a taxi and none of them said anything until we were long gone. Then proceeded to call us saying we didn't pay. Seriously get it together. Will not be recommending.
