They have a beer named 3.5 mtrs which denotes the fact that it is actually brewed 3.5 mtrs away from the cash counter there!

This place carries the best of the best in terms of beer. They even have an IPA from Gothenburg called Dugges High Five. 45 SEK for a small portion, but seriously a good beer. I didn't get to spend too much time in here as this was my first trip to Gothenburg, but when I head back, I will absolutely be making this my joint for the weekend.

It baffles me that Göteborg, although having a large numbers of ethnic Persians living there for…read moredecades, doesn't have much to offer when it comes to good Iranian restaurants... So I just visited "Fanous Restaurant", a grill house only serving kabobs and dizi. So if you're looking for more traditional Persian dishes, this isn't the place. No Baghalee polo or zereshk polo here...They tricked me by charging 20 kr for the yoghurt and water mixture in the dispenser, and wrongfully calling it "doogh". That was NOT doogh and I did mentioned it but instead of giving me an honest answer, the owner made me pay. Woaw what a horrible service! However, my koobideh was heavenly: the meat was so delicious, it melted in my mouth. And because this is a grill house, the meat is top #1 priority. On the plate, I had a grilled tomato sliced in two halves, three leaves of parsley, a spoon of yoghurt sauce and two steaming koobidehs. Apart from iceberg salad, coleslaw, corn, slices of red onions, olives with dill and a horrible orange coloured dressing, the salad bar had the usual components, except for seer torshi (pickled garlic). That was delicious. There were two dispensers, one with water and the other was yoghurt mixed with water (not doogh). I later found out that there were also a soup included which The staf didn't informed me of. The rice wasn't good at all. The traditional seasoning for koobideh is a dark red to violet colored sour spice called Sumac. The Sumac in Fanous was grayish brown and didnt taste anything. So that was a huge minus. I can excuse the bad rice and the funky looking/tasting Sumac but tricking me to pay for something that was obviously NOT doogh is inexcusable. So my advice is to avoid this place. Avoid it at any cost!
Horrible
Koubideh
I visited this restaurant in January 2016 and it is now called "Sophia" and not aloonak…read more I had a soltani (which they call 'Makhsos' on the menu) with a small bottle of doogh from Abali. If I could I would give the doogh 5 stars without any hesitation. However the food was average and tasted very different from what I'm used to normaly eat. Also the portion is small for the price I paid. The Barg was juicy. But the koobideh was smaller compared to other Persian restaurants abroad. Also the taste was unusual. There was a clear taste of oregano. I'm not a huge fan of oregano, especially in Persian cuisine. It doesn't mix well. But I guess it's different strokes for different folks. Needless to say that traditionally, oregano is not included in the original recipe. The plate was also badly presented: the rice was thrown over the koobideh almost as if they intended to hide its small size. There were also slices of a tasteless discolored tomato, two low budget olives, three small slices of cucumber and some iceberg salad. And a tablespoon of funky tasting yoghurt.. It reminded me of the Indian Raita mixed with mastmoosir... You can imagine the rest! But the staff was very friendly. The doogh also made my day. But seriously, they should hire another chef.
This is how the "makhsoos" plate was presented. The meat hiding underneath the rice
The best part of my meal was the authentic doogh. Awsome

I just recently found this Turkish themed restaurant and decided to try it out tonight. What a gem!…read moreI cannot believe I've missed it. This is posh compared to many others. It is located on a slope giving a terrific view of church and park. It is tastefully oriental decorated - stucco in the ceiling and walls with mosaic and wallpaper accordingly. The staff is so professional, attentive and serviceminded. The menu has a wider selection than most restaurants around. We went for the starter with 13 (!) of the chef's choices. Mostly consisting of dips like tsatsiki but vey tasty. The main course portions are HUGE so go easy on the tasteful bread if you want both starter and dessert! The only down side might be that dishes with a distinct flavors might be a little too much with such huge portions. Maybe offering meze (small plates) not only for the veggies could be an alternative. We couldn't resist having dessert even if we were full. The chocolate fondant was perfectly sized - meaning smaller - after this mastodont dinner. The pastry with cream and mascarpone is large. They are both really lovely. I can't wait to go back. They accept AMEX.

Service was great and we got everything on our plates explained for us. We ordered the meze plate and four wonders if the sea and splitted them between us two for a total of 480kr.

Overall a nice experience. Take the mussels, they were really good!
Efessos serves massive, authentic Greek dishes in a tiny, romantic, crowded restaurant near…read moreChapmans Torg. They are one of the most reasonably priced restaurants in town. Reservations are essential on Friday and Saturday nights. Late dinner is normally empty (after 8pm). The appetizer platter for two is enough for your entire meal - don't make the mistake of ordering that and then some lamb chops and moussaka on top unless you are looking for lunch tomorrow as well (which, frankly, is not a bad idea). Those are my favorite three things. The hubs mixes it up and we have rarely been disappointed. All your standard Greek fare - hummus, tzatiki, grilled lamb chops, horiatiki, spanakopita - done well, unpretentiously, and served in huge portions, cheaply. Nothing not to like.

I wanted to try a new restaurant and my friend who lives nearby recommended me this one. We both choose vegetarian dish and it was delicious, not what I was expecting it to be. My experience in eating vegetarian in restaurants has not been positive so far hence the surprise. I usually get more hungry after I have eaten vegetarian food in restaurants, but this was not the case here. I also tried their pineapple ice cream which was ok. It actually was served in a pineapple. This is not a fancy place but the food was delicious, fresh and good and for that reason I would definitely go back to try other dishes as well.

I ended up here and figured Indian food would be great on a day like this. It wasn't as authentic as I'd hoped. The Butter Chicken Korma was more sweet than spicy. Some of the chicken pieces were questionable - either chewy, unseasoned, or weird texture. It definitely kept me full until dinner but it wasn't as satisfying as I hoped.

My wife & I each got the veggie combo (vegan; 200 SEK each), which comes with 5 dishes each as standard, plus they appeared to throw in an additional 3 items to share.

The shiro was particularly good, packing quite the spiciness. Good value and a much better bet for this style of food than Simba. Come here instead.

Don't expect to roll up on a Saturday night without one. We made reservations about a week in advance for a 7pm party of two on a Saturday night. The place was totally filled up by 7:30pm. The service was super friendly, fast, and the ambiance was cozy. We ordered the madra curry and lamb curry, with chili and garlic naans. The Currys were super delicious, my favorite being the lamb curry, it has three peppers (their spicy grading on the menu) and is just the right amount of spicy. The naan was so fresh and delicious, could've eaten the whole of it myself.

For smaller portions of enjoyable kebab order the döner! (kebab in bread) The dressing is hot, a bit hot for my taste, so I always have the mild one. Ask for a mix of hot and mild, if you think mild is too lame. Eat here or take away. They accept AMEX.

A friend suggested meeting at Masala Kitchen when we were in town visiting, which is how I found…read moremyself eating there last week. The menu for lunch is relatively simple, something that I am told is common in Gothenburg. Essentially, there are two lunch specials for each day, along with a vegetarian option that rotates. We all went with the meat-free selection, which was a veggie dal, some kind of okra dish with lentils and sauces, and we got naan on the side. For what the food was, it was pretty tasty, and it was also filling. For 90 SEK (or about €10), the price was also extremely good. I do wish that there was more of a vegetarian option other than whatever the chef decides to make that day, but even so, it was good. The service was fine. The restaurant itself is small, but there is a pretty quick turnover at lunchtime. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to eat here, but if you're in the area, it's maybe worth checking out.
