    Great food, good service, typical small family restaurant feel. Nice little eatery to enjoy a mealread more

    I found this place by luck while researching Oslo online. This is quite a hidden gem in a small…read moreneighborhood close to the center. The interior when you walk in is spacious yet cozy. Pillows and throws on love seats that line the walls. Patterned rugs on the floors. Very quaint and adorable. There are a few menu items that you can order by themselves (like a normal restaurant), but the main event at this place are the Mediterranean "Tapas". They call them "mezah". The menu is only in Norwegian, but from what I understood, you can choose any combination of Mezah, each costing 40 nok, or have the chef choose 6 for you, and they will cost 160 nok for vegetarian or 180 nok for meat and vegetarian (so you save quite a bit). This combo comes with pita and feeds one (hungry) person. My boyfriend and I decided to each order one, so we got quite the variation of Mezah's to try. Some were very good, others not so much. The Bulgur, Tsatsiki, Kyllingvinger (chicken wings) and Kjøtboller (meatballs) were our favorites. We did not like the Baba Ganosh or the Squash, but maybe that's just our aversion to "weird vegetables" as we like to call them haha. Everything else was good. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who likes to try new things, is hungry, and is in the mood for Mediterranean/ Turkish/ middle eastern food. It might be a little pricey, but definitely worth trying a lot of different dishes.

    I absolutely adored my evening at Cru. I will run, not walk, back here the next time in Oslo. It…read morewas a quiet and intimate dining room (I ate downstairs), and I was well-attended-to all evening, especially by a nice Scottish waiter who saw I was a wine lover and was chatty and helpful. I had a ravishingly good glass of Sekt (sparkling riesling) by von Buhl, which was crisp and acidic and a bit biscuity, though not as much as the blanc de blanc champagnes I love. The bread and butter on the table was the most delicious dark caraway bread I've ever had in my life, hands down. I had a slow-cooked lamb stew that was small but thrillingly good. There was watercress and bacon along with it, over a pea purée and with some fresher peas. Absolutely delicious, the meat was extremely tender and tasty. I would have wished for twice as much. My waiter/sommelier steered me away from a 1999 Château Lanessan (which he let me try anyway) because it was kind of faded and instead towards a 2015 Barda Pinot Noir from Argentina, which was in a much better window and ended up matching better. (Though in the end, although it is tastefully made, there was too much new oak and sweetness in it for my taste.) I had a crème catalane at the end which was very nice and palate-cleansing. The main portion was small, but the food was incredibly good. Maybe have a little apéro snack before you head to Cru. And yes, the bill adds up quickly, but this is Oslo. This was quality.

    This was my first visit to CRU, my expectations where not that high because I had heard both good…read moreand bad reviews of the place, but anyway here we were. Nice location quiet and secluded at Majorstuen (Oslo West) The Restaurant was warm and nicely decorated. The waiter seated us and started telling us about the menu (We went for the 7-course menu) the staff was professional and friendly, the sommelier was very knowledgeable and he recommended some great wine throughout the entire meal. This is one of Oslo's best restaurants right now, the food and the wine was perfect inn every way, as was the staff @ CRU. Highly recommended.

    Oh I am thorn. Because the flavours are really good. Service was good. Prices are as expected…read more However, the interior and overall ambiance is more like 'order, eat and leave'. Simplistic and not very cozy. Buuut. Have in mind. The food was 4-5 for me and I had a great Lebanese red wine. Try the kebab and the Lebaneh (think thats the name of the home made cheese dish). Pita bread was yummy too and the same goes for the rest I had. For me its about the whole experience. I would for sure eat here again, but its not where you bring your Tinder date=) Book a table in advance because its a very popular place.

    I had ordred takeaway from Ben Reddik in Oslo on Saturday evening in the middel of the easter…read morehollidays. They had confirmed by SMS two days before when the order was placed that I could pick up the food at 18:00. Then on Saturday when I was going to pick up the food I waited first in the rain and 4 degrees for 10 min before the staff asked for my name, then I waited another 25 min before taking my name for the second time. He checked the order list and said they had no order on my name. So after 35-40 my wait I left without food. Since it was late on Easter Eve, it was not easy to get food elsewhere in the city - but fortunately I got food from Saray. They had a long wait to order, but they called me and explained why and that they arrived as soon as they could. When Saray delivered I was given some extra food as a compensation because it had taken some time before they brought the food. The food from Saray was good, service superb. I can't say that about Ben Reddik, I wrote SMS and sent mld via insta but got no reply! They are probably a popular restaurant that right now, in the middle of the corona era, and does not have to deal with customer service or know what it means! Anyway they end up on the minus side when it comes to from me.
