Great falafel and even greater prices!…read more Stumbled into falafel me and had a falafel roll for less than 50 NOK. Now that's a steal in Oslo. The falafel was made right after I put in my order, so you know it's fresh. The portion size was surprisingly large, so I couldn't finish it all, but the roll was very tasty. I'll be back.

Today I tried their sweet potato soup of the day, and on a cold Oslo winters day it really hit the spot! Very tasty and creamy, but not too much. They also have a range of juiced that are made fresh in house and also have barista made coffee. I'd describe this as healthy lunch-bar, which you can stay and eat in, or take away your food if you're on a lunch break or want to eat by the water, royal palace Gardena or town hall garden, all which are a short walk away.

Jamie W. and I finally arrived in Oslo at close to 10PM after a six-hour train ride from deep in…read morethe fjord country. After we checked into our hotel, we went on the hunt for a late dinner. However, we had no luck finding a suitable restaurant still serving food after 10PM. I refused to patronize a McDonald's not because I'm a food snob but... OK, maybe I am a snob, but when we accidentally came upon this Middle Eastern kebab grill, we were game. We were also desperate at this point in the evening. There was a long horizontal picture menu, so we just ordered off of it at the counter. When they were ready to make our orders, one of the staff motioned us over and asked us which fillings and toppings we wanted. We just kept modding every time he scooped anything, which was why our meals looked rather gluttonous. I went for the 155 NOK Lamb Kebab Box which was quite a pile of grilled lamb with lettuce, cucumber slices, beets, jalapeños, yogurt sauce, and housemade pita bread (photo: https://bit.ly/3vLcrWl). Jamie ordered the 120 NOK Lamb Kebab Pita which was quite an overstuffed handful with the same ingredients as my box plus corn kernels and hummus (photo: https://bit.ly/3A2HVcZ). Even though they were messy and oversauced, the hastily assembled food certainly filled our bellies, and for Norway, they were reasonably priced. Mine was almost $16, and Jamie's pita was around $12.25. At that late hour, most of the customers were either friends of the owner or drunk Scandinavians. And there was us. FOOD - 3 stars...generous portions of grilled meat, decent tasting, pretty messy AMBIANCE - 3 stars...fast food operation in a historic brick building SERVICE - 3.5 stars...they customize the orders willingly TOTAL - 3 stars...now you know what you can eat after 10PM RELATED - Exploring Norway?

It isn't easy to find cheap food with American portions in Norway, but the general rule of thumb is…read morethat middle eastern food is mostly promising in that aspect just like how Mexican food is in America - delicious and affordable! I love middle eastern food, their kabobs, grilled meats, rice, spices, special sauces, etc. This place makes good food with big portions! Not only that, the main reason we came here was the early opening hours compared to the common hours in Oslo. We had a hard time looking for a place to eat in the morning before our train ride, and this place was one of the very very few choices we had. The shop just opened when we got there. The guy wasn't the friendliest but at least he gave us food that was prepared hot and fresh. The prices were affordable and it was nice to sit outside looking out onto the busy streets. Great place to eat middle eastern food!

If you're looking for a quick bite to eat, this place is a very nice option. They have self order…read moretablets so it's a super quick process to order to go or dine in. The food came out really quick and was pretty tasty for Mexican Style food in Norway. Definitely recommend if you're looking for something quick.

I know. Don't go to Oslo and expect Mexican food to be like home. This food was inedible. I would…read morehave taken it back for a refund but I was too upset to even deal with it. My vegan bowl was supposed to come out hot but was served COLD. My friend had to ask for his French fries to be heated. My jalapeño nachos had maybe a tablespoon of cheese and I'm being generous. Place felt dirty and the table to p was sticky. Noisy and mostly full of people drinking beer. DON'T be tempted. Stay away!! If there were negative numbers I'd use them

Was looking for a coffee-shop while in Oslo to warm up in and glad we found Mesh. Their coffee was tasty. Plenty of good seating and tables. They had some heaters running. Internet was free and fast. Service was great - the guy manning the bar was from the UK. Fairly conversationally-quiet space as lots of people working on projects together. Would come back if ever in the area.

But the café on one corner offers several vegetarian choices in their sandwiches, and they had a superb beet soup, not just a borscht but unique in my experience. Huge bowl with bread almost made a meal in itself. We had with some cakes and coffee for desert and paid $60 for two of us. Check it out for non-fish and non-meat options. The department store itself is worth a visit. And the cathedral with stained glass windows by Vigeland is across the square.

The favorite were the goat cheese baked in honey and the king crab. The meal reminded me of Spain..flavorful food.

Check out my spread!…read more Tapas in Norway? Yes. And it's legit. Sooooo bomb. I would recommend it to all my friends and family. No, it's not Norwegian, but it's amazing regardless. Meatballs, bomb. That salsa, those balls. Take me. Mushrooms topped with crusted/baked Parmesan, it's guilt free for a veggie side. Yes, there's cheese but you're eating cheese on mushrooms, so that's pretty much a salad right there. Potatoes w/ a Creme fraiche like side and peppered tomato sauce. Omg, the goat cheese with honey. If you don't order that, don't even talk to me. Every dish I ate was exceptional and tasty and brought it's own to the table, literally. 10/10 would recommend and probably my favorite restaurant I'd eaten at in Oslo.
