Die Laterne in Osnabrück

One of the best restaurants I've ever visited! The food was incredibly delicious – fresh, high quality and full of flavor. The restaurant is very clean and tidy, you immediately feel at home. The service was excellent, the staff was friendly and helpful. An experience I definitely want to repeat! Especially Mr. Merii

The Syrian food mark is exactly right here. We enjoyed it really well, the service was friendly and we didn't wait long for our food, even though the two of us stopped by on Saturday evening without a reservation

I had dinner there today and it was very tasty. In addition, the waitress Rama did a great job and was very reliable. Top top top 👍

I was visiting Osnabrück and had the pleasure of getting to know the Lantern. From start to finish everything was simply perfect! The food was incredibly tasty, with fresh ingredients and lovingly prepared. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting and you immediately feel at home. I would particularly like to emphasize the first-class service: friendly, attentive and professional. An all-round successful evening. When I'm back in Osnabrück, I'll definitely come back. Absolute recommendation!

The two of us had dinner at “Die Laterne” restaurant on a Friday evening. The food was so delicious that I had to write a review about it. We had a falafel halloumi plate and my husband a specialty with eggplant and lamb, we were absolutely delighted with both dishes. The service is also great, attentive but not intrusive. The atmosphere is authentic and pleasant. A very clear recommendation. Thank you for making Syrian cuisine so tasty for us. PS: It's a shame that the restaurant isn't in the Frankfurt area.

I was in OS with my colleague for work and the "Lanterne" was recommended to us by three women. We enjoyed the delicious food and the friendly service. Only the music, which was unusual for our ears, was a bit too loud for us. We can also recommend this restaurant to people with mobility restrictions, as the disabled toilet is on the ground floor and spacious. We would be happy to come back!

No matter what you eat, I have never been disappointed. Spent a lovely evening with delicious and visually appealing food. Attentive friendly service. Only the background noise is a bit loud.

Too bad. I haven't eaten so badly in a long time. But let's start at the beginning. Unfortunately we had to wait over an hour for our food because the order (meat mix platter for 2 people) hadn't arrived in the kitchen. The food was only taken care of after we asked. Actually, the waiter should have realized that everyone else around us had already had their food. We did receive a free starter - it wasn't necessarily to our taste, but that's the only reason we get 2 stars for the service. When the food finally came, half the plate was burnt and inedible. The only response to our feedback was: “The food always comes from the kitchen, because the chicken has to be cooked through and from the charcoal grill it is always “black” and burnt.” They then wanted to buy us dessert, but we declined it and ordered the bill. We still received dessert - but no bill. We had to request this again and were finally able to leave - after paying 60 euros (the full price) for the dish alone. We received two 10% vouchers for our next visit. A nice gesture - but we probably won't come back.

Loved the food , I’ve come here after 5 years and they maintained it very nice . Miss Leena is doing a great job greeting, suggesting good food with a great smile !!

Was there for the first time and I was thrilled. We had a meat platter for 2 people. It was beautifully served with rice, dip and a special salad (I don't know what it's called) on a wooden board. The rice was very fluffy and the meat was tender. We also drank ginger tea and Syrian raki. What I really didn't like was that the tea was served in white cups with this Zanzibar logo, which really fit into the ambience of Sylt. And the raki in old school cola/rum glasses like the ones you used to get at the disco. There's definitely something nicer out there But that's just a personal feeling. The food, the service and everything else counts and that was great.

For €22.90 for a main course, I expect to be full and not leave the restaurant hungry. The falafel are very tasty and all the dishes taste very good, but the prices are not proportionate.

Great food and competent staff! A special compliment to Lena: she is excellent at responding to the guests' wishes and knows (sometimes better than they themselves ;)) what they need. Thanks Lena!

It wasn't our first time in the lantern. The food is very, very tasty. Unfortunately, some things sell out very quickly, so you have to be lucky on the day. We were here on a Saturday. It was full all the time. The small negative point is that we had to wait a long time between courses, but everyone was very nice and accommodating. The burak starters are very good and the vegetarian platter is also highly recommended. We really recommend the Kunafe dessert if you still have room. It's best to drink a coffee or something similar that isn't particularly sweet. You should also definitely try the oriental soft drinks. We would love to come back, but after Christmas.

We had a lovely evening in the lantern today. The reception was friendly and professional. I would have preferred a quiet table upstairs, but the area wasn't open to guests yet. Our food was very tasty and came to the table quickly. The waitress was courteous and friendly. We'd love to come back, there's still a lot to try. The cameras in the guest room bothered me; I didn't see any mention of them.

Super great Syrian atmosphere and great food! Very friendly and accommodating if you want to eat without a reservation. Be sure to stop by and stay!!!!

Super tasty food, very friendly and attentive service and the price-performance ratio is very good!

Not even one star for this restaurant, the staff was so bad, unfriendly, we had to wait 30 minutes for the cards. After we wanted to order something to drink, the waiter raised his hand and told us to wait because not everyone was ready and if the others didn't come right away, we wouldn't get anything to eat at 7.30 p.m. We got up and left and the waiter came afterwards to give us his opinion, never again

We were there in the evening with a group of 5 people. Had previously reserved a table online. That also worked without any problems. When we arrived I wanted to tell the waitress that a few of us were arriving a little later and wanted to know if we should still sit down. They didn't let me finish and just told us where to go. At some point there were the cards. I wanted to say that again but the service left so quickly that I couldn't say anything. At some point she came and wanted to take the order. Then I told her that we're not ready yet. She walked away annoyed. She then came every 5 minutes and wanted to take the order. You couldn't even look at the map in peace. At some point we ordered. We had to wait quite a long time for our food, which I still understand. But we also had to wait forever for our drinks. I have no understanding of that. While we were eating, two different people took turns coming in and kept asking if everything was okay. You hardly got a chance to have a quiet conversation. When we wanted to order drinks we could hardly get them to the table. It took half an eternity until the two rounds of drinks arrived. We sat right next to the counter and saw that our drinks were already ready. Only no one brought them to the table. When the other employee pointed out the drinks to the waitress, she looked really annoyed and complained to herself. I have no idea if it's always like that or if she was stressed that evening, but that's not possible. Then you shouldn't work in catering if you can't handle stress. Her behavior and body language made me feel very uncomfortable. When I paid she was annoyed again because I didn't have any cash with me and you can't pay with a card. So I had to ask my companions if they could explain it to me. That took a moment. Apparently too long for her. For the first time in my life, I didn't tip at all. Which I find quite a shame, as I know only too well that this industry lives partly from tips. About the food: I had hummus which was quite runny and not tasty either. The main course was a shawarma with Pommer (potato slices) and salad. The cucumber slices were already past their best. The shawarma was very tasty but at almost €20 per plate it was simply overpriced. I was there for the first and last time.

Very tasty and visually appealing food. In addition to the classic dishes that you already know from Lebanese cuisine, there is also a good selection of Syrian specialties. The service staff was very nice and the food was served quickly. It was a bit of a shame that they started clearing the table even though not everyone had finished eating yet. This made it a bit uncomfortable.

Everything was great, delicious food & homemade lemonades, attentive service

A first class restaurant, the food is very good, the service was nice and the prices are reasonable.😊🌸

We came here because of the many positive reviews. The food was quite simple and, again, too expensive. Basically a Turkish pizza with fries served on a board for €20

Waiting far too long for the bill

We ordered a table at 5 p.m. today, arrived without expectations and were completely surprised. Super nice service and the food 11/10 And a great atmosphere 👏🏻

Wir fanden es richtig lecker. Die Portionen sind groß. Leider war im Magen nur Platz für Vor- und Hauptgang. Aber wir konnten uns das Dessert einpacken lassen um es später zu Hause zu genießen.

Super tasty food, great service with nice waitresses...

We had dinner there with 5 people on a Saturday evening. Luckily we had reserved a table. Without the reservation we wouldn't have gotten a table. The selection of dishes is very large, there is something for every taste. For us it was the first time we ate there. We were very excited. But, it was all very, very tasty. From the starter, the main courses, the cocktail and the homemade lemonade. The service was top. The young lady was under a lot of stress, but she was super friendly and always asked if everything was still there. We were also pleasantly surprised at how much everything cost together. We had a very nice evening there and will definitely be happy to come back.

Food was good, we waited almost an hour for it, which isn't so nice. Service can be improved as no one asked for drinks in between, everything seemed a bit overwhelmed.

Really well made food that is exotic and offers a new experience. The service staff is extremely friendly and attentive, and the prices are fair.

I have never eaten such delicious rice 😋 The oriental soft drinks are awesome👍🏻

We were in this restaurant for the first time today and can only say: an absolute recommendation!!! Great food, pleasant atmosphere, affordable prices and very polite service from, among others, Jesus, a very friendly servant and all the staff. We'd love to come back 👍👍👍

Very nice service, the food was also very good. We were there on a Friday evening and it was very crowded, so we waited an hour for our food, hence one star less. Otherwise definitely 5 stars. Gladly again

The food was very tasty and the service was very friendly.

First of all we would like to thank you very much for the great evening. We were there for dinner on January 10th, the food was excellent both visually and in terms of taste, the service was super nice, quick and very friendly, the atmosphere was great and we don't even need to talk about the restaurant decor because it's an art. Definitely recommended, always happy.

Were already in the lantern on December 29th, 2024. Unfortunately, the kitchen cannot cope with the number of tables. We were happy to wait over an hour for our dishes because we really like oriental cuisine with all its flavors. However, when our food came to the table, our joy was quickly diminished. The mixed platter for two wasn't really hot and was still mostly burnt. In retrospect, it wouldn't be worth €59, even if it was in good condition. The ambience is nice but not good. Somehow we felt it was “mass processing”.

Great restaurant! The food was always great and the waiters and waitresses were also super friendly! Recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Incredibly delicious, service very friendly! Only to recommend

The best drinks and the food is delicious. I'd love to come back. Thanks to the chef.

Very tasty food, nice staff, everything was great :)

after 3 years it's still the same 👍 Satisfied Highly recommended...

Friendly service, delicious food, pleasant atmosphere :) Thank you

There is nothing more delicious than this food 🥣 The best restaurant in town 🫶🏻❤️

Very good food. I advise everyone to go to a restaurant. Fast service. Everything is clean. Rawaq. Thank you very much.

The restaurant is nicely decorated, the food is delicious. But unfortunately nothing more. It seems to be very much about profit. The kitchen and the service cannot adequately serve the many tables that are packed close together. Everything takes a little too long, so it just spoils the impression in the end. My food was very hot as it was an over-baked dish. My companion's platter of meat was clearly too cold and still burnt in places. I don't think the prices match the quality of the restaurant. I wouldn't eat here again and wouldn't recommend the lantern.

Restaurant Laterne – A culinary oasis with warm service. The food was simply fantastic – delicious and creatively prepared. I would particularly like to highlight the service from Aycin and co., who made the evening perfect with their friendliness and attentiveness. A small suggestion for improvement: Please don't serve the Ayran in a cola glass, that just doesn't fit with the otherwise great ambience and style of the restaurant. You have such beautiful glasses otherwise ;-). Overall, I can highly recommend Restaurant Laterne and look forward to our next visit!

Unfortunately, the service that evening was totally overwhelmed. Food without cutlery, drinks forgotten, dishes only cleared when asked, etc. The food was basically OK, except for the cold ducats. Solid ambience.

The food was very tasty. The service is top notch. Always my pleasure. Thanks to the great team.

Food was super tasty. The restaurant was full but unfortunately only one condition, a shame.

Das Essen dauert 2 Stunden. Damit das da ist aber Essen ist in Ordnung nur die wahrte Zeit ist nicht gut und die Kellnerin sind süß

Unfortunately a disappointment - very poor service in the Lantern My visit to Die Lantern restaurant was a big disappointment. The service was terrible - inattentive and slow. We had to wait over an hour for our food which is completely unacceptable. The drinks only came when specifically requested and took far too long. While other tables were served more quickly, the staff seemed uninterested in looking after us. The long wait and lack of service completely overshadowed the otherwise passable taste of the food. You don't expect this level of service in a restaurant. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Die Lantern and will probably not come back in the future.

Hello, ordered a table on Saturday evening at 5:30 p.m. Waiting time until it was released 15 minutes later at the insistence of the staff. Table groups of 20 like in a youth hostel. Then wait to order food. Done 15 minutes later. 45 minutes later, food at the table. The vegetarian grill plate may have fallen through the grates directly into the charcoal. Warp and ducat fries from Aldi. Fries fried rock hard. Lemon tea with 5 year old lemons that don't dissolve... According to the contract, the table was only booked for 2 hours. At the end, new guests stood next to me and urged me to finish and pay. Unfortunately I can't give any negative stars.

Very tasty food ☺️ Lena is particularly nice 👌

Food was very tasty, drinks came to the table quickly. The waiting time between drinks and food was a little too long. Can only recommend the restaurant.

Great food and good vibes! The waiting time was a little long and the food was no longer hot (but still warm enough in my opinion), but that was probably because there were 12 of us here :) Furthermore, listen to Felix

A wonderfully authentic, delicious and Syrian meal!! I've eaten at many establishments of this type, but none compare so well. Syrian cuisine is a challenge in itself, presenting it in such a way and guaranteeing a taste experience is a real achievement. I am impressed and overwhelmed at the same time. Sincerely (restaurant connoisseur)

The food is very tasty and all adults enjoyed it. The portions were large and you were full. However, there is no special food for children. Requests for changes were not possible, which is a shame. The ambience is not that nice. Downstairs you sit so tightly that you can't have a conversation. Room dividers and seating areas bring in less sales, but they would really do the atmosphere good. We'll definitely come back, but without children!

The taste of the food was perfect, but unfortunately it was only lukewarm on the table. The ambience is very nicely decorated in an oriental style, but unfortunately also too dark. Unfortunately, I had to turn on my cell phone flashlight to read the menu. (A little tip to the service staff, just light the candles on the tables when a guest comes, otherwise why would you have decorated them on the tables) The font on the menu card is too small and doesn't stand out well from the background color, making it difficult to read in the dark. The female service staff wears plenty of jewelry on their hands. I once worked as a waiter in a restaurant and learned during hygiene training that this is not allowed because it is unhygienic. However, the service at the table was friendly and the food was served in a reasonable time. Thank you for the nice evening with you.

A good place for meat lovers. The prices are reasonable, the menu is very varied, and the taste and quality of the dishes are at a high level. A good place for meat lovers. The prices are reasonable, the menu is very varied and the taste and quality of the dishes are at a high level.

Food is ok Could use more spices Came to the table at most lukewarm Anything can happen Not a highlight for me Ambiance and service good Everyone should decide for themselves whether to go again

Everything was super tasty. There is absolutely nothing that wasn't tasty. Then very friendly and quick service, it couldn't be better

Ordered Shawerma Arabic but something different came, didn't taste good, the meat was dry like wood.

Very tasty food, fast and courteous service, friendly dealings and overall, simply recommended. The lamb chops are juicy and fantastic and the homemade lemonades/juices are simply delicious. But if you don't like rose water, you should read the menu carefully, as this is often included.

Really sophisticated flavors with a good price-performance ratio. The Syrian tea was expensive (8€) but excellent.

Very friendly staff, great suggestions made with delicious starter plates. Great food, great ambience. We'll be back 👍👍

Incredibly friendly and courteous staff, which you don't meet often anymore. The food also tasted great, you just have to know what you like. Very quick service and you didn't have to wait long for the food. Taking it home wasn't a problem either.

We don't go there often and yet the waitress remembered me. Has very tasty food A1

Three of us went there for dinner today. Ambiance is nice but little things like the men's toilet or the ceiling lights in the restaurant can still be improved. What seemed strange to us was that we were the first and only ones at 5 p.m. and still got the worst seat. When we left the restaurant, everything except 4 tables were still free. Not acceptable for me personally. Anyone who offers something like this in a price segment should pay attention to little things in order to get a good rating. We can't say anything bad about the food. The dishes were all very tasty and the portions were large.

A really cozy restaurant with very good and friendly service, we felt very welcome, which is no longer a given in restaurants. The food was also very tasty. We'll definitely be back!

Reservation worked great, food was delicious, service was very accommodating ((Thanks Lena), only the acoustics could be a little better. We'd love to come back!

We ate here for the first time today. Called spontaneously and got a seat. We didn't have to wait long for the delicious food, even though it was already busy. There is a large selection and we are happy to recommend something if you ask. The atmosphere is nice and the staff is very friendly and accommodating!!! We'll definitely be back!

A very nice evening!!! SUPER delicious food (a lot!) remarkably friendly, personable and attentive service by Petrus! Thanks for the great evening in the Orient!

Very tasty food and nice staff. I'd love to come back.

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at this restaurant. Looking for something new, we spontaneously decided on this restaurant in Osnabrück. The staff was very friendly and gave us excellent advice on choosing the dishes. Overall, a thoroughly successful evening that we would like to repeat.

Best meal in a long time!! Tip: Since the majority probably see it that way, it seems that 98% of the time is reserved here. We were there right at 5 p.m. and noticed that up to 15 people could still eat before the reservations were made (until around 7 p.m.). So it’s better to reserve 🙂

Unfortunately the food was extremely oily and greasy and we felt completely sick afterwards. Unfortunately, this doesn’t have much to do with Arabic cuisine…

WOW, we were guests at the Lantern for the first time. It was very full, we spontaneously asked if we could get a table. Very friendly staff. We enjoyed the food very much. Price/performance is absolutely right. Really highly recommended. We'll be back 😊

Great food with a large selection

Super delicious food Greetings go out to Petrus, top service :D

Very tasty food, friendly and attentive staff, portions are more than sufficient. Waiting time is okay, everything comes to the table hot. Highly recommended and we will eat there more often.

The taste was good, but the drinks were warm

You can have a great evening as a group/family or couple. We really enjoyed it as a group.

Very friendly staff, the food was delicious, but we were unlucky that we had to wait an extremely long time for it. Otherwise definitely worth a visit.

Very cozy atmosphere and the food tasted great. Sergei

We were at Lantern last night. Great food and great ambience

Very friendly and attentive staff and fantastic food that is also stylishly prepared. We'll definitely come back.

This restaurant never fails to please. The quality of the food service can no longer be compared after years. Staff are always ill-tempered, disorganized and unwilling to serve, as one would expect from a decent restaurant. The customer is to blame for arriving late. It's a shame, I brought my whole family there and a lot of friends. For me, the lantern is no longer recommended. Falafel tasteless, cold chips and Halloumi cheese just as hard as a rock. I hope with all my heart that this lantern I met comes back.

Ate Syrian for the first time and I was thrilled. Shawarma was super tasty and I drove home super full

Delicious!! 🤤🤤 Completely perfect.

Delicious, large selection, cozy atmosphere. Service makes you wait a long time, doesn't understand some requests, prefers to chat with colleagues rather than deal with annoying guests. Delivery service good and fast.

Good restaurant, the waitress was great, friendly, competent, careful....Food good...Syrian Something different, the rice was recommended to us and was really good...

I always like to come by when I'm nearby. The food is super tasty and very tasty and the homemade lemonades are just great. The employees are particularly nice, something you rarely experience. They are very attentive and try to give the guests a great evening.

Very tasty food. Diverse and good portions. Super friendly service and great ambience. Prices are absolutely fair. Gladly again.

Ich war schon mehrfach im Restaurant und wurde nie enttäuscht :-) Super lecker, würzig und Preise angemessen. Nur nette Bedienungen! Am Wochenende, wenn viel los ist, hat man manchmal längere Wartezeiten… trotzdem 5 Sterne

Syrian fast food, tasty and good.

The lantern is still a great asset to the Osnabrück gastro scene. Very friendly service, an exotic but not kitschy atmosphere and very tasty food. Both dishes were seasoned to perfection and each flatbread had a slight hint of cinnamon. The baklava wasn't quite as sweet as I know it from the Maghreb countries, but that varies greatly from region to region. Unfortunately the card payment machine failed and I had to go to the bank. But well, something like that can happen. It is and remains a top recommendation.

I was there last week with 20 people. The staff was always helpful and the atmosphere is also pleasant. There is also a large selection of food without feeling overwhelmed for a good price. Definitely worth recommending

Food was super good and plentiful... Service very good... Ambience could be a little nicer... All in all - recommended

I can only recommend it, super nice service and delicious food. We'll be back :)

Very tasty food, but a bit of a wait and very large portions

Great, everything tastes great I will only recommend it
