Baba Azeitona in Hamburg

We had lunch at Baba Azeitona with 14 people. Everyone liked the restaurant: very tasty and cheap food, great ambience, nice host and delicious coffee (even with oat milk). We will come again!

We only had a drink here, but we were treated extremely friendly and the drinks were also very good.

We sat there for an hour to have a starter, when we asked we were told that unfortunately the kitchen could no longer prepare it. Thank you for nothing, because there was no communication, there were no alternative suggestions and the service was unfriendly when we asked.

Thank you for the great hospitality! 🫶🏼

Delicious and cheap. Very flavorful, very nice

We went there to take advantage of the happy hour offer. Waited almost 40 minutes for 2 gin and tonics and 2 Cuba Libre. We were about to steal the orphaned Astra from the toilets. Initially a mule was ordered. The waiter pointed out to us after we had placed our order 10 minutes ago that there was no ginger ale available. Nice, it doesn't come in a mule either. After another 30 minutes our drinks, which were far too strong and carelessly prepared, arrived. The impression here is that guests are being lured with cheap offers, cheap ingredients and untrained staff. Atmosphere is more like a cemetery.

Never had Levantine cuisine so good, the dishes were perfectly seasoned and fantastically prepared. You should definitely try it if you are in the area.

We can't decide which tasted best! We took the mixed starters and then always ordered what was tastiest. A short vacation for the palate in the heart of Hamburg :)

Excellent restaurant, the choice is varied, the dishes are just spicy and tasty. Much better than their French counterparts.

Food was okay, The drink was not cold enough and halloumi burger was just okay.

I love coming here, great food, good seating. I always take halloumi burgers and love them.

Best matzah I've eaten in HH so far. And simple, straight, nice.

Were at Baba Azeitona for the first time. Rather coincidental. We are fans of Levante cuisine and are used to a lot of (good) things. The selection of dishes exceeded the usual. Very beautiful, unusual creations. The service was friendly and the food came quickly. Requests were also readily responded to. The starter (3 wild prawns) was quite generous and tasty. The stuffed chicken would have been delicious even without the sauce. The falafel plate was very rich and tasted great. Although the falafel also tasted a bit unusual due to a combination of caraway, anise and fennel spices. Luckily it wasn't that dominant. For us it is clear that we were not there for the last time. There are many more dishes to try. See you soon!

My girlfriend and I were warmly welcomed as soon as we entered the restaurant. We sat outside because the atmosphere there was very pleasant. The food was really plentiful and very tasty, so the slightly longer waiting time can only be explained by the fact that it was freshly prepared :) The prices are totally okay! The owner was really nice, sociable and runs his restaurant very well!! We'd love to come back!

I was in Hamburg with my wife a few weeks ago and I'm from Bavaria. Our son lives in Hamburg and took us to this restaurant. Love this very good food. The landlord is a really great person.👍When I'm back in HH I'll come back with Jens and my wife. Wish the host and his family all the best and many guests. Kind regards from Bavaria. 🍀💕

Unfortunately the cousous was definitely spoiled. I ate a maximum of 2 spoonfuls of it and then developed severe stomach pain. Don't come again.

It's been a long time since I've had such a good meal in a restaurant! Familiar and friendly service and also price-performance ratio! I'll be back!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Baba Azeitona and all I can say is that it was an extraordinary experience. From the moment I entered the restaurant I was struck by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The ambience is simply enchanting - tastefully decorated and perfectly lit to create a cozy and pleasant atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious. Every dish I tried was fresh and full of flavor. I would particularly like to highlight the kebab roll, which was simply excellently prepared. The portions were generous and the value for money is unbeatable. It's rare to find such high quality food at such fair prices. The service was also outstanding. The staff was extremely friendly, attentive and always tried to fulfill all wishes. They made a big contribution to making the evening so pleasant. Overall, my visit to Baba Azeitona was a wonderful experience. Delicious food, a great ambience and first-class service – what more could you want? I can highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to my next visit.

Very friendly, good value for money, nice atmosphere and super tasty. ☺️😌

I ordered the lamb shank and received extra sauce upon request. There were 6 matzahs ​​in advance. Excellent taste and highly recommended.

The fish of the day was really delicious and for the price of under 9 euros a decent amount of food :)

Incredibly delicious food and also very plentiful. I have rarely eaten such perfectly seasoned dishes where I really enjoyed EVERYTHING (and we had 18 starters, 2 main courses & dessert). Very nice service, at the end there was even a schnapps on the house. It was also very inexpensive. We didn't pay €60 for everything including the Aperol Spritz. Absolute recommendation!

Extremely delicious food with creative ideas (we had matzah, shawarma plate, lamb burger and the delicious cinnamon-ginger ice cream). Very friendly service and fair prices. We also had long drinks (happy hour 9-10:30 p.m.).

Unfortunately we didn't get to eat because we were treated very badly and super rudely by the owner. He was extremely racist to us! In the end he wanted to attack me, but his staff held him down. We called the police and wanted to report him, but we decided against it just because he is an old grandpa. Never with you again! 🤮

After 40 minutes of walking through Hamburg, I finally found a restaurant where I could sit down to eat. The service is great, the gentleman who works there is very friendly and caring. You immediately feel comfortable. The food was ok. I would have just liked the vegetables to be a little more organized, so not too overcooked. More like aldente. I'll still come back in 2 weeks. LG

Service could be friendlier, we were there with a larger group and five dishes were forgotten...no real excuse. Food is cheap, but not a big hit.

Delicious food but the drinks are not the best.

Delicious fresh food, familiar atmosphere, casual ambience, no fancy...honest and warm and excellent value for money

We drank cocktails there. It was very pleasant and the bus leaves right outside the door.

The two of us ate there. I ordered the couscous tajine. A plate of bland, not warm food was served. I actually know tajine differently, I was just on holiday in Marrakech... my companion found her food (köfte with sesame, she completely missed the sesame, as I did the almonds and the tajine...) also cold and bland. It wasn't a nice atmosphere either; in the pictures it looks much more inviting. Boss very nice, staff could work on smiling. Conclusion disappointing for us. But maybe we just chose the wrong dishes.

My wife and I visited the restaurant based on a recommendation. Our expectations were far exceeded. The family-run business is extremely friendly, accommodating, reads your wishes from your lips, so that you have the feeling of being warmly welcomed and you immediately feel like you are among friends. We can wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant because of its wonderful culinary diversity! Days later, you still think back with gratitude to the culinary experiences, the friendliness and the atmosphere in the rooms. We are already looking forward to the next visit!

Absolutely great shop if you want delicious vegetarian and vegan food. The atmosphere is great, the staff is really nice. A must for every Hamburg resident and anyone visiting the most beautiful city in the world. We will be back definitely.

Super tasty dishes, great, warm service 💜 We were there with a larger group and everything worked out great. Be sure to order the mango-ginger-cinnamon spritzer “Anja Spezial” 😍

This restaurant is characterized by wonderful, delicious, varied food. From vegetarian to lamb to fish, everything is included and the price-performance ratio is excellent. The employees, obviously including the boss himself, are very courteous and very nice and are happy to explain the different dishes as well as the region from which these wonderful dishes came to Germany. The location is excellent with the direct bus connection and the direct route to the party mile. For that reason, here is my fullest recommendation and be sure to check it out for a quick snack if necessary

Very tasty, very nicely decorated, great service Just something different than pizza, pasta, kebab and co. Highly recommended. Happy to come back 🫶

Super delicious food, exceptional, taste explosion at its finest. Great service 👌 My absolute recommendation is mango ginger cinnamon spritzer.

My new favorite restaurant in Hamburg! I'm really excited about the food 🤩 we were there for lunch, the prices are totally fair and the boss was courteous and friendly. Great service, great atmosphere with the chandeliers, fresh roses on the tables and the food was heavenly good. I really liked the way the plates were laid out, we'll definitely be back and we're happy and full. Happy hour every day from 9:30 p.m. Long drinks. Thank you so much!

Exceptionally unpleasant… - there on a Saturday evening, the restaurant was moderately busy - authentic Levantine cuisine? - more standard or the dishes that a German perceives as “Levante”. - Waiting time for drinks is around 30-40 minutes, you wait a little longer for the starters; Unfortunately, not all of the dishes we ordered made it to us, which we kindly pointed out to the waitress - Bread portion for 5 people was rather narrow with 5 small corners of Arabic bread; had to be reordered several times - After 1.5 hours and repeated requests, the food came, unfortunately again not everything and unfortunately only gradually, so eating together as a group was impossible... - Hummus and a salad to finish - the preparation probably took 2 hours (I honestly could have prepared the dishes we ordered in 40 minutes alone in my kitchen, but so be it.) During the waiting time, only two other tables were served with food, so it couldn't necessarily have been due to the flood of orders. The service staff, two young women, tried hard but were a little overwhelmed by the situation and our growing dissatisfaction with the quantity and quality of the food (shawarma snacks are often better)/process and waiting time, so we had a little chat at the end of the evening want to look for the managing director. Our criticism was not taken into account, it was our fault for only complaining after 3 hours. The comparison that it was like rush hour in the restaurant like in the city center and that everything was going slowly was unfortunately not accurate, even with a great deal of imagination. Even walking speed in first gear would be more satisfying than this meal. (Luckily I got a portion of churros afterwards) They didn't let us finish. It was assumed that we wanted to blame the service staff. Nothing can be taken from the bill due to the cash register system, which is simply a lie. A 20% was then drawn with a pen on a 10% voucher - for the next time and since there will be no next time, two 5s were then arrogantly (sorry) counted out from a wad of money and thrown at us. Wow. Pearls of communication (private questions like “Do you always go through life so suspiciously”), touching the service staff to show team spirit and the final expulsion rounded off the impression. At the end we were able to laugh about it, ate something and just wanted to provide a bit of a reality check. Thanks for the minutes of reading time.

Definitely a recommendation: a good selection of different dishes. Also several starter options. Everything looks appetizing. The kebab roll was really tasty. But the kicker came at the end: the dessert called Nammora - a semolina cake with date sauce. Absolute risk of repetition. Friendly staff and humorous boss, who didn't lose his cool even when his payment terminal refused to work on Saturday evening. First of all, there was some caraway on the house. Thats how it is suppost to be!

We were visiting Hamburg from Baden-Württemberg for a few days and then ended up at “Baba” for dinner. We felt very welcome. Very nice owners and the food was good too. From now on it will become a tradition, whenever we are in Hamburg we will come here to eat. Kind regards and see you next time ☺️👋🏼

The three of us enjoyed a very tasty meal. Nice service, friendly boss. Thank you very much

We were there with a large group and had a great evening. Delicious food and clever, attentive service, which contributed to the success of the evening. We'll do it again next year!

Great restaurant in St. Pauli run by a super committed boss who knows his shop and the dishes, totally great

Unfortunately super unfriendly!!!

Sehr leckeres Essen, nette Mitarbeiter, tolle. Preis-Leistung. Wir waren hier gestern. Die veganen Dips waren der Hammer, aber auch die Lammwürste in Sesamsoße sowie die Köfte - mega. Und noch nie so einen leckeren Bohnensalat gegessen. Leider ist der Laden immer wenig besucht. Echt schade.

Es ist so ein tolles Lokal! Das Essen ist der Hammer und der Inhaber ist ein Schatz :) Es hat ein super persönliche Atmosphäre und wir fühlen uns jedes Mal sehr wohl.

Sehr sehr leckeres Essen und sehr freundlicher Service, dankeschön 😊👍

Sehr leckere Gerichte. Höfliche Bedienung.

Sehr freundlicher Restaurant Inhaber und leckere Falafel!

Man fühlt sich sehr willkommen und wird im Restaurant mit neuen Geschmackskombinationen überrascht. Chef und seine tollen Mitarbeiter machen fast unmögliches Möglich!

Geheimtipp für HH. Ausgezeichnetes Essen. Auch vegan. Coole Ambiente, vollendet mit Jazz/blues-Musik im Hintergrund. Fantastisch

Ich bewerte ja echt selten aber das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist der Hammer! Ich hatte den Lammburger mit Salat und Kartoffelspalten und dazu eine Mango-Ingwer-Zimt Schorle - total lecker und ausgefallen! Jedes Mal wenn ich in Hamburg bin ist Baba Azeitona ein MUSS!

Sehr leckeres und frisches Essen! Super nettes Personal! Gerne wieder :-)

Super leckeres Essen. Keiner von uns 6 konnte etwas beanstanden! Freundliches und lustiges Personal. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen gerne wieder.

Wochenlang habe ich auf meinen Besuch bei Baba Azeitona hingefiebert und ich wurde nicht enttäuscht. Das Essen war köstlich, der Aperol großzügig und die location ist der Hammer! Der Falafelteller ist eine große Empfehlung. Gerne wieder jederzeit!

Ich gehe fast einmal pro Woche mit meiner Theatergruppe dorthin. Der Besitzer ist immer freundlich und gut gelaunt. Das Essen ist großartig und die Getränkepreise angemessen.

We had a reservation (we made 3 days in advance) for 4 people and one hour before they canceled our table per mail. I called to ask what’s wrong, why they cancel on such short notice and everyone is already on their way. They just said: we are fully booked. I will never plan to go there again.

You can't play such a techo music, with such an annoying bass and expect me to dine in ! No :/ that's why I took away my order.. The food is not bad, a bit overpriced. It would be nice if the owner employed more people, the poor waitress was just overwelmed !!

Sehr freundliche Ladeninhaber Extrem gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis bei der 12-teiligen Mezzeplatte. Sehr lecker und umfangreich. Das Brot im Korb reicht für 6 Leute. Bei unserem Besuch wurde die Bedienung neu eingearbeitet. Deswegen dauerte alles etwas länger. Das hat den schönen Abend aber nicht weiter getrübt.

Sehr leckeres Essen. Für diese gute Qualität haben mich die Preise positiv überrascht. Sehr fair! Schönes Ambiente, der Service war super freundlich. Immer gerne wieder!

So unglaublich leckeres Essen für wenig Geld, tolles Ambiente und nettes Personal. Es hat ab nichts gefehlt 😊

Wir waren eigentlich nur auf einem Aperol im Restaurant, aber der war soooo gut gemixt dass wir noch ein wenig sitzen geblieben sind und noch eine Kleinigkeit gegessen haben. Super nette Bedienung und tolles Ambiente. Fazit: sehr empfehlenswert.

Mega leckeres Essen. Die Mezze, die Suppen und natürlich die Hauptgerichte. Auch die Salatbeilage ist immer super knackig. Preis/Leistung ist sehr gut. Auch das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend und immer freundlich.

Guter Mittagstisch, leckeres Essen, freundliche Bedienung!

Wir waren auf ein Getränk zum Abschluss unserer Stadtbesichtigung in dem Restaurant und kamen mit dem Inhaber ins Gespräch! Ein toller und sehr sehr gastfreundlicher Mann. Wir wünschen alles Gute für die Zukunft. Liebe Grüße aus München (:

Waren eine 20er Gruppe und konnten nirgendwo einen Tisch in der Sternschanze finden, doch die Besitzer haben das Restaurant extra noch einmal aufgemacht und uns ohne Zeitdruck bewirtschaftet.

Wir sind zu Besuch in HH und sind per Zufall reingegangen. Äußerst leckeres Essen und super nette Bedienung. Meine Empfehlung: geht hin 👌.

Hatten Mittagstisch, war sehr gut und auch günstig. Chef schmeißt den Laden selbst und war super freundlich.

Ich bin mit meinen Mädels zufällig über diesen Laden gestolpert und muss sagen: wir wollten garnicht mehr gehen. Wir waren zu einer ungewöhnlichen Zeit da, weshalb der Laden fast leer war aber umso mehr Zeit hatten wir mit dem lieben Besitzer zu reden. So ein Herzenslieber Mensch <3 ich hätte mit ihm stundenlang sitzen und reden können. Der Zimttee mit Haselnuss ist sehr zu empfehlen + die Preise sind top! Das Essen ist einfach nur göttlich. Normalerweise salze ich immer alles nach, aber hier war es on Point! Es ist auf jeden Fall wichtig mit leerem Magen zu kommen. Die Portionen sind nämlich riesig, fast genau so riesig wie das Herz vom Inhaber. Zum Abschied habe ich noch einen Gutschein für meinen Mann und mich zum Hochzeitstag im Februar bekommen. Der Inhaber ist wirklich ein Mensch aus Gold. Ich freue mich auf den nächsten Besuch!

Wunderbare Küche, mit Liebe zubereitetes Essen und ein sehr freundlicher Gastgeber. Es hat uns hervorragend geschmeckt und wir werden gerne wiederkommen.

Mega leckeres Essen. Bedienung sehr nett und flott.
