Al-dar in Hannover

Finally in Al-dar. Always heard great things and now managed to go. It's really nice inside and you feel welcome. Unfortunately, we were unlucky because the heating didn't work and we were really cold (especially since we were sitting at the window with our backs to the open room. It wasn't until almost at the end of our visit that the boss was told about it (we were told four different waiters) and then he brought a portable heater. Everything else in terms of service was great! Food: the starters are a dream and we were really looking forward to the main course, where we were a little disappointed. We decided on the 'Journey through Syria' and then ordered a grill mix and a fish plate. The grill mix was delicious with different meats, the fish plate only had one type of fish and wasn't salted enough and the vegetables weren't seasoned enough. Dessert/dessert was good.

I visited this restaurant that claims to serve halal food, but I was surprised that there were alcoholic drinks on its menu. In addition, the treatment of the staff was very poor and very unprofessional. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a true halal experience and good service.

Very very good food! Friendly, accommodating

The food was significantly better. Our starters and main courses came so quickly that they couldn't possibly have been freshly prepared. 5 falafels with some hummus and iceberg lettuce on the plate cost €18.90. Unfortunately, the price and performance don't fit here. The most unpleasant thing, however, was the atmosphere. We sat upstairs and everything looked like a train station. Although it is clear that a restaurant is not empty on a Saturday evening, it was so loud that we could hardly hold a conversation at our table. For me, less would be much more - that's how we do it with the food here. Menus weren't available to all guests right from the start because the restaurant seemed fully booked. I can't understand many of the very good reviews. Yes, it's not a disaster and the starters advertised, for example, are really tasty. But the overall package has unfortunately deteriorated enormously in recent years and there are much better restaurants in Hanover.

Bombastically good food at a very, very high level! And very good, courteous service. Will definitely come back again and again!

Always 5 stars. The food is very authentic and delicious. The service is beyond reproach. Price/performance is perfect. An absolute tip.

The appetizer platter is good for trying out the various delicious dishes and will definitely fill you up.

Food is always very good, even if not exactly cheap. But sometimes it is very loud, which can be tiring

Very nice local. Good food at a relatively affordable price.

We visited this restaurant as part of a team meeting. At first glance, a restaurant of a higher level. We booked the majority of the menu for the Syria tour. The menu was varied and full of flavors, but unfortunately it didn't have the right spark (spice) that I've experienced in restaurants in Israel. The service was pleasant, just didn't care much about us, there were always empty glasses on the table and waiting for the service. Overall, I rate this restaurant above average, but expectations were higher.

A very nice atmosphere at a high level. Very polite and accommodating. Great service and a great meal. The menu trip is recommended.

All was just super. The food was just delicious

Incredible journey through the oriental landscape of Syria. We are very excited 🤩. A taste of old times that can hardly be found today.

It is good but not good enough for the prices

We were there with friends and became familiar with Syrian cuisine. The service is very friendly, we definitely recommend making a reservation as the store is always very busy. The orders were taken quickly and the food came very quickly. As a German, I cannot judge to what extent the food is authentic. All starters were delicious and the lamb dish as a main course was also very tasty. Traditionally in the Mediterranean area the meat is fried well, but it was still tasty and not tough. Overall it was a nice evening, if I could point out something it would be the fairly high volume, it's just a big shop. A little tip, the starter plate for two people is quite large, I had a hard time finishing my main course. You can easily take the leftover food with you.

The food was very tasty and you can understand that the quality of the ingredients is top notch! It is quite expensive but I would come here every now and then for a special dinner night 😊

The food, the staff, the decor is great! Only to recommend...

An all-round lovely evening, with delicious food.

An idyllic Syrian restaurant that's easy to miss with its hidden location. You can sit well both inside and outside and enjoy the delicious food

Very tasty, nice atmosphere and very nice service. Again and again.

Just cozy, delicious food and great service. Thank you for the lovely evening.

We continued to be impressed on our second visit to Al-Dar. The starters, main courses and also the wine were very tasty. We would recommend the "Journey through Syria" and a good wine to new guests. The waiters also help with the selection of food and drinks.

Very tasty and very friendly service

My best meal so far. The lamb melted in your mouth and I have never had anything as good as it tasted. Rounded off with a lemon mint soda.

A really great restaurant. Super high quality food. Excellent service and the atmosphere is what I imagine a wonderful trip to Syria would be like.

Al-Dar, highly recommended, wonderful atmosphere, someone really put a lot of effort into it. It was also well implemented outside:)) Service: top, courteous, nice A1... now to eat, very tasty, fresh ingredients, starters a must... see pictures, so go there and let yourself be surprised :))

Paid €110 for 2 people. Had mezzah starter. Card labeled with 2 or more people for €24.90. Well, per person. In other words, you've already shelled out €50 for a small starter. In addition, the dumplings arrived with raw meat (not cooked through). So not edible. For the price-performance you would expect courteous and smiling staff, unfortunately that was missing too. With the high prices and the corresponding food, you can definitely eat out cheaper and more deliciously in Hanover. Conclusion: Not recommended

He is the one who loves in this Arab language. Reise can be found in the home so that it is mega. Essen ✔️ Service 💯 Atmosphäre ❤️ Something awesome and very suitable for a family atmosphere Service, food and ambiance Thank you to everyone who created such a nice atmosphere

Had a very nice evening! We were able to sit outside in the temperatures and enjoy the courtyard!

100% recommendation. Great service, delicious food - that's true here everything.

Once again super tasty. Traveling through Syria is highly recommended. The service, as always, was competent, friendly and quick.

It was just good, but nothing special. It was quite ok.

I really enjoyed being here for festive occasions about 2-3 years ago and was a guest again today. Unfortunately I have to say that my enthusiasm to return was dashed. The vegetarian mezze selection was nowhere near the level we were used to back then. Service was not attentive (including a bottle of wine and water that was completely poured by myself), the tablecloth was dirty, candles on the stairs were not lit, pages in the menu were loose and industrial soap dispensers and refills were visible on the shelf in the bathroom. The eye for detail seems to have been lost. Maybe after many years with so many guests and the constant menu in the very large restaurant, everyone has somehow burned out. I'm just used to different things from Al-Dar in the past and now from other restaurants in the same price range (in Berlin). It's a shame because I've always been a big fan. Dessert is still really good.

Been there for the second time, just something different and very tasty. Unfortunately it's not exactly cheap, so it remains something special.

Eat deliciously Friendly service Pleasant atmosphere Prices acceptable

Visited again in August 2024. The variety of appetizers also remains delicious. This time minced lamb and lamb fillet...both good...various starters to start with. ...The wheat beer alone could have been better chilled...otherwise everything was good. Gladly again... We had reserved a seat, you should definitely do so. In terms of meat, there is mostly lamb, we had saddle of lamb fillet and lamb fillet, very good, the rice was a bit lukewarm, the meat was well seasoned and well fried, delicious, before that we had the large starter plate mazza 2, be careful, the price is per person, we are closed Ate four of them, there was enough quantity and also very tasty, the service was not unfriendly, you had to get used to it and very sales-oriented, we didn't follow the wine recommendation, which was very expensive, we would have had the third one. From the menu, red Lebanon, that tasted good too. Overall, it's a great place, nice decor, good food, and everyone has to rate the service for themselves

Made a reservation for the 05.08 online through the website. They send me an email for Bestätigung and then when i went there with my girlfriend it was closed . And we had our yearly anniversary. I thought its a good idea to invite her to have dinner at that place . Was such an awkward moment for me!

Were there on Monday for the Maschseefest. There is a bar on the waterfront and a restaurant on the other side of the promenade. We sat down in the restaurant during happy hour and asked if we could just sit here to drink cocktails. This was not a problem, they said. We asked the waiter in advance whether happy hour also applies here in the restaurant, he gave a thumbs up and took our order with a smile. Long story short: we ended up having to pay full price for the cocktails. Either the Lord didn't understand us or he pulled us away. Not a nice feeling, hopefully not the store's business model. One might think, however, because all the signs only said the name of the store and when the happy hour was, but not that it only applies in certain areas. Definitely never going to visit the shed again, absolutely shitty feeling.

The best restaurant in Europe I visited so far. We took the menu and we ate delicious food over about 3 hours non stop. A real culinary travel through Syria!

…at the Maschsee Festival… 5 stars for offering such a great ambience, such great service and such delicious food at the Maschseefest! More is not possible! 💛 Rarely have we experienced such courteous service.

Food and service very good. Prices accordingly. There is lamb or chicken in the run-up to Christmas, which is typical for the country. There are little to no options for patching. It's best to drive into the parking garage

I was for the first time In a restaurant with the flavor . Normally for me Greek is Italian or German. But the first time in Al dar was awesome 👍 from the taste to the service, I can only say it couldn't be better. The attentive staff and the food was really great. Some very expensive restaurants can take a lesson from this. Keep it up 👍.

This time we were at the Maschseefest in the restaurant. As always, very good, super friendly and so fond of children that our son was looked after by the boss.

First of all, the food was quite good. Unfortunately, the visit to Al-Dar still left a negative lasting impression for us... We were there on our wedding day. We had previously reserved a table for two people, stating the occasion. Unfortunately, the aperitif fell off the tray while serving and spilled down my pants. It can happen. Not so wild... We had ordered the trip through Syria vegan and discussed this in advance and with the waitress. Our main course came with a yogurt sauce. We naturally assumed that it would be vegan because it had been communicated several times. As an "apology" for all the inconvenience, we got an extra scoop of ice cream for dessert. No discount on price or proposal to cover cleaning costs. As a normal earner, you can't afford a course meal like that. It's all the more disappointing for us that the only thing we have left from this visit is a good pair of trousers with large pink stains for me and intestinal problems for my husband due to severe lactose intolerance...

While the price is on the higher side, this Syrian restaurant is totally worth it. No compromise on quantity, quality or service. The servers were very pleasant and accommodating. The ambience is amazing, and you feel like you stepped into the middle eastern world. The toilet is through a steep set of stairs, my only complaint.

Food very tasty and reasonably priced for the location and ambience, I recommend the trip through Syria.

Good place but.. We ordered the Al-Dar plate but it looked like a kebab mix plate in any Turkish restaurant! Far too expensive for this quality! The quality is far from Syrian cuisine...One more thing I forgot to mention: the kebab was frozen and not fresh. You can buy these types of kebabs in any supermarket!

Starters are tasty, but main courses can be improved. Prices are high.

Very tasty and varied food, also good vegan options. The appetizer in particular is highly recommended for sharing. Overall, probably the best falafel I've eaten so far.

A great Arabic restaurant, super delicious food, great, friendly staff. Class!

Very good food with the family and nice service in a pleasant environment

Unnecessarily spending a lot of money on food that doesn't taste good and is an insult to every Syrian is the case here. The ambience is not bad, but the restaurant is not recommended. Unfortunately we had the most unpleasant person as a waitress. Not only was she incompetent and disrespectful to us, but she was generally rude (not just to us). The rest of the staff was very nice, but the one waitress with the red hair made our visit unpleasant. Overall, the restaurant is not recommended and we will never visit again. Other restaurants in Hanover have much more to offer :)

Super delicious food, great quality of meat, gluten-free options and non-gluten-free main dishes can also be converted to gluten-free. There was even gluten-free bread to eat with. I was very enthusiastic and my family, who miss their grandparents' Lebanese food, were also very enthusiastic. The service was great. And the ambience is beautiful.

Very nice atmosphere and the staff is nice and helpful, but the amount of food is unjustified in relation to the high price per plate (rarely less than €23). Unfortunately overpriced :(

Sitting beautifully in the courtyard and staying dry despite the rain thanks to the large umbrellas. As always, everyone was very friendly. The interior is beautifully decorated. As always, the food was super tasty and fresh. I always enjoy coming here!

We were guests in this extraordinary restaurant. Here you have the feeling that everything is about you. I have very rarely experienced such service and attention. My thanks to the entire staff for the best moments!! The cuisine of Syria in the middle of Hanover leaves nothing to be desired. Just perfect. You can say that this is a restaurant in a class of its own, starting from the service to the ambience to the last sweet course of the menu, namely the "Qatayef" etc.

Cheap, not tasty food for expensive price. I don’t recommend to go there absolutely. Service was very good.

Amazing food, amazing service, amazing space! We loved it. We were a bit sceptic first to lamb but they made it taste extremely good! Can recommend this place easily for anyone visiting Hannover!

Extremely good food, super friendly staff and great atmosphere!

Delicious food, but very noisy outside because it's close to the train. The lady in service was having a bad day, or our group was too big for her and she might have been overwhelmed

Very tasty food! Unfortunately, service at peak time at 7 p.m. was hectic and a bit overwhelmed. But whatever. We will be back definitely!

I was at Al-dar for the second time at the weekend. The ambience is great, but it is just too crowded. However, the food wasn't good. It was completely unseasoned, took a very long time and was unfortunately only lukewarm. It wasn't worth the €80. In every Turkish restaurant at Steintor you eat times better and the ambience is authentic for half the price.

The starter was tasty, but the main course was very dry and not exactly a taste explosion. The question about a second blanket due to the cold was answered in the negative. A pity.

Highly recommended, delicious food and a really good view of Syrian cuisine. I had no idea what great dishes there were. I'd love to come back here!

Table for 2. Despite a reservation, we waited 40 minutes for the drinks and a total of an hour for the food. The food was good but the service is terrible!

Very tasty food, extremely nice, experienced staff! We will be back definitely!

Mazza 2 (starter platter) was excellent. The service is courteous and nice. We will be back.

Very nice restaurant and very good service. We used to enjoy coming here, but unfortunately the quality of the food has drastically decreased. One dish had limp potatoes that were completely soaked in oil. The vegan kibbeh smelled like hay, the magluba was completely soaked in yogurt and the vegetables in the vegan magluba were anything but fresh. Unfortunately no recommendation

Great service, wonderful service and outstanding food. It doesn't get any better!

Great food and buzzing atmosphere

Very good service and delicious food

Very tasty and recommended. Interesting dishes for a slightly more intense price. The service is also very friendly and positive especially...

The service was very nice, professional and courteous. The atmosphere was inviting and clean. Unfortunately we didn't find the food outstanding and not very authentic. When I asked if I could swap the spinach side dish for vegetables in the main course, my rack of lamb fillet was unfortunately served on iceberg, tomato and cucumber. In order not to disturb the atmosphere at the table and wait any longer for the main course, I accepted the course without criticism. Overall a nice evening, However, I would not visit the store again or recommend it.

Top food, top service, top top top Went here for the first time today and loved it. I can only recommend it. Finally oriental food according to tradition, keep it up

As always very tasty 😋 Can only be recommended

We have finally found a friendly, competent and guest-oriented service in Hanover! Food was extremely tasty and a very attentive waitress provided perfect service. Thanks

Very tasty and friendly service.

Super delicious food. We were really pampered. Thanks

Very good food and good wine selection. We were there with 8 people, everyone was thrilled. The starters were very good, but the main courses were also delicious. The portions are absolutely sufficient. The service was friendly.

Simply great. Classy and delicious. Super Service. Meat very tender and perfectly fried.

Exceptionally good food, very courteous service. It's even more beautiful in the restaurant than outside.

Service at its best… food great…. A wonderful evening spent, we will be back….

Super tasty and super friendly! Very nice facility.

Early reservation is absolutely essential - and there's a reason for that - it's great here - everything about the service, the ambience, the food. There is no 28 page menu. Thank God. Traditionally prepared starters, main courses and desserts. You can also try out the starter variations and be happy. Clear recommendation.

The service was good and friendly. The falafel is really delicious there. But they are served on a bed of completely unseasoned and undressed lettuce. There is also no menage at the table. I also had a completely unseasoned tabbouleh and was expecting more couscous in it. The dumplings filled with cheese were not in a pastry shell as you would expect from Turkish börek, but in a very firm dough, not crispy at all. To be honest, I found the food, which has its price, to be just okay. The ambience of the restaurant is nice, but also very, very loud when it is full. There is a beautiful outdoor area in the middle of the city that looks very inviting. I was there for the second time. The first time I shared mixed “Journey through Syria” starters with other guests. This meal was better than my current visit.

Something different and tastes great.

A little bit noisy as it was full, but the service and the food was amazing.

A truly good Syrian restaurant in a nice atmosphere with delicious authentic arab food. I recommend the "journey through Syria " meze platter, a selection of the finest dishes to share with a group. And my personal comment: I indulge the fact that the restaurant refrains from playing disturbing and distracting background music. This is great to have decent communication.

The food was, as always, very tasty, The service was very helpful and very friendly, just great 👍 I can only recommend the trip through Syria, it's a 3-course menu with lots of small starters, Delicious main course and dessert just delicious 🤤

I've been here several times and every time it's been delicious. The service is very attentive and makes everything possible as far as possible.

Nice Syrian restaurant with a big menu. They also have quite a few large tables for bigger groups and a nice outdoor seating area. Reservations are a must. Def like that they have a lot of sharing options so you can try different things! Also great for vegetarians. Service was great as well.

A Lebanese Syrian restaurant in Hanover. The quality of the food is really excellent. The chicken in particular was as good as ever. (I hate chicken which I find stringy). I also found the lamb and accompanying rice excellent.

One of the most popular restaurants in Hanover and that's not for nothing. The Syrian restaurant offers a very diverse and colorful cuisine. The dishes are wonderful for sharing. In the backyard there is a beautifully designed and inviting outdoor area. The staff is very friendly. Be sure to reserve as it is always very busy.

A wonderful restaurant for a special culinary journey! We were recently at Al-dar and were more than thrilled. Everything was perfect - from the greeting to the farewell. Super accommodating and friendly staff, incredibly delicious food. We would be happy to come back and recommend the restaurant wholeheartedly.

Another great evening at Al-dar. As usual it was very crowded. Nevertheless, the same high quality of service and dishes. We enjoyed it from starter to main course to mocha.

Falafel with hummus plate is very tasty. Nice personel. 👍 There isn't much choice for vegetarians, but the falafel is absolutely great! Delicious fresh mezzes (dips, starter plates)👍

Nice restaurant, but very full, the two tables are very close to the other tables, so you don't want to overhear other people's conversations. Service was very good and very attentive. The food was OK, we chose a menu, the starters were very good, there was a good selection and a great introduction....the main course was nicely prepared, unfortunately the lamb was very dry, the chicken was great, dessert was OK...the evening was nice, I would try something next time choose something else. The card still has a lot to offer ♡

The food was far too overpriced for there was far too little on the plate. Meat, rice and vegetables, for me as a young woman, far too little and not tasty for the price! Never again!

Again and again the food is a poem, friendly/top service. Absolute recommendation - without reservation!

Great food, very attentive employees. Absolute recommendation!
