Though their food was delicious, I would not recommend this restaurant because of their lying and sneaky ways of stealing more money from their customers. For a 5.5 euro meal, I paid 4.6 euros in service fees. This is not right. I’m sorry but no restaurants deserve 84% service fee… especially the awful service we had with one waitress for 8 tables and extremely slow service. I was going to give it a higher rating but the experience of getting ripped off and lied to outweighs the good food. Just a warning for all that YOUWILLBECHARGEDTWICEFORSERVICEFEEANDFAKE/HIGHER PRICESONTHEBILL. Make sure you check your bill… On the menu, it said that service fee was not included so we knew to plan for service fee in addition to what we ordered. But when the bill came, there was a «Pane & Coperta» which Coperta is usually the cover charge but at the end of the bill, there was also a «Service 10%». So per person, it was an additional 3 euros(minimum). First of all, why would it be 10% service charge on top of coperta? They charge everyone twice for service. Doesn’t make sense. Also, I saw on the menu that a 750ml bottle of water was 2.50 euros but when the bill came, they charged 3 euros per bottle. I asked the waitress about the service charge and she couldn’t explain it and just said it was the manager’s decision and the manager was not present. I also asked her about the water and said that I think I saw that it was 2.50 euros on the menu and she didn’t even check, she just told me that I was wrong and it was 3 euros. I checked on their online menu just now because I know I saw on the menu at the restaurant was 2.50 and ITWAS2.50 euros, even on their online menu. Waitress is a liar.

First of all I was going to smoke shisha over here, but it appeared to be a good dinner spot. Tabule salad for the beginning, lentil soup with croutons for the main course and beef shawarma with rice for the end of the dinner. It was awesome. If you love mid-east and Lebanese food, this place is worth to visit. As for the shisha. There were only three smells: double apple, grape & grape with mint which I choose. Shisha was ok, but they made it with crappy fast start coal which is bad. Go in here for the food and then go for the shisha to the«Shisha» place.

Das Lokal ist nett eingerichtet, die Vorspeisen waren gut aber doch recht teuer, die Hauptspeise(Mix Grill) war qualitativ nicht hochwertig(Fleisch trocken, Reis alt und kalt), als Araber weiß ich wie das schmecken muss! Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt hier einfach leider nicht!

I found Mandaloun on Unilocal and decided to give it a try. I loved it right away, honestly not for the hookah nor the food; but for the amazing staff they have, very friendly and welcoming. I like their hookah although they don’t have a lot of flavors, just the basics, no mixes. I am not sure about the price but its around 15 €. They play classic Arabic music, which is my favorite so they gave me another reason to go back.

Absolutely shocking. I have dined around the world, from fast food to Michelin star establishments, but I am no food snob. I thought I would take a risk and order here to go. The food was packaged in aluminum containers with plastic wrap placed on top of hot soups, etc. and then covered by a top. The plastic melted into all the food. There was next to no vegetables and zero chickpeas in the food. The flavor was overwhelmed with lemon and otherwise totally lacking. I kid you not, the pita bread smelled like socks. Unexplainable and unjustifiable. Presently, I am suffering stomach cramps from whatever it is that they served us. Highly regrettable. Never again.

I walked by this location several times via route to the Spanish Steps from my hotel. Each late evening the street side dinning would be busy. They open late so we arrived after 10:30 pm after enjoying a siesta. We started off with humus which was outstanding and I followed with the mixed combo plate — rice, lamb, chicken and kefta which was excellent. For dessert we tried the combination of baklava which was the awesome! The service by the waitresses here was friendly and if you’re into hookah they offer this on the patio.
