Die Wunderlampe in Trier

The food was very tasty and the staff is super friendly.

If you rub the waiters, no genie will come out. Was made to leave in a rude manner. Not recommended

This was our second time here and both times the service was very friendly and quick, the food was beautifully presented and very tasty. The non-alcoholic cocktails are also great. We will definitely come back again, even if it is more than 200 km from home.

Very tasty cuisine and nice service.

Starter variation with dips were very tasty. Main course also great. Dessert variation sweet, with almonds and nuts. Everything is typically oriental. Very friendly service. Will go again.

The food was excellent. I had lamb and the portion size was appropriate. And the side dishes are also beautifully grilled together with an excellent hummus in a separate bowl. My wife had chicken skewers which were also cooked perfectly. The only small drawback was that the music was a bit too loud and therefore no more background music. But that's also a matter of opinion. We just like things to be a little quieter.

I've been to "The Wunderlämpchen" in the city center several times and now for the first time to the "Wunderlampe" location. The dishes are almost equally well prepared and of great quality. The only thing that really bothered me was going to the toilet... dirty... worn out... somehow not comfortable. And about the ambience of the restaurant.....ok, I think it's great that old inns and their charm are preserved. BUT the style of an old inn decorated with craftsmanship, oak beams and paneling decorated with carpentry and carving....in combination with the oriental style.....sorry that definitely doesn't fit. This is much better in the little magic lamp.

Super tasty, highly recommended.

A true journey to the Orient! WORTH A TRY✌️

Well... looks like an old pub that last saw daylight and color in 1970. The food is something different but nothing special. I don't know what people eat when they celebrate like that. Too expensive and too expensive .and let's be honest. I'm not stupid. T.k.ware is there too!

Authentic cuisine, pleasant atmosphere

Food is good as always, but we had to wait an hour for it, tables could be cleaned better, sticking quite a bit. Otherwise everything is OK so far

First I would like to say that I am not a guest who has to have everything perfect as long as the price-performance ratio is right. We ate at Wunderlampe for the first time today, unfortunately we are very disappointed. * It took a very long time until the order was even taken. * The waiting time between starter and main course was 1.5 hours. * the drinks (except apple juice spritzer) were not chilled * the ambience wasn't that special either (but that doesn't matter) *the food wasn't warm enough (almost cold) * everything is very very expensive, almost a rip-off * the prices are almost as high as in a 5 star restaurant. We ordered the 4 person platter, around €148-150. The quantity of skewers was, well, almost ok, but there was a lot of savings on the side dishes. A handful of rice and a few fries, the side dish was just enough for 1 person. The others just had to eat skewers that were almost too dry. If the price is €37 per person, then I think it's good that the side dish is enough for 4 people. So we definitely don’t recommend the restaurant. We were there for the first and last time. I'm aware that as a restaurant you can't/don't have to give anything away, but I don't think it's fair to the guests to charge such high prices for such food. Better to go to another restaurant. The taste of the dish was OK, but nothing extraordinary that you couldn't make at home (without a lot of effort).

Exactly what I expected, tasty food, amazing atmosphere and lovely waitstaff

Despite having a reservation, we had to stay 30 Wait minutes. After we still didn't get a table, we decided to leave. The waiters hand out packaged flatbread with their bare hands, right next to the entrance. That was the icing on the cake. Never again!

I had dinner in this restaurant today. I was blinded by the rating. I ordered an appetizer plate and a grill plate (chicken). Unfortunately, you weren't allowed to choose which starters you received. After about 35 minutes we got 3 pasties that tasted absolutely average, an overly acidic olive "salad" and 3 times the same dumplings with uninteresting (different) fillings. I also ordered a grill plate (chicken skewer). Some of the fries were cold and it was perhaps a children's portion. The meat was also tough, EXTREMELY dry and unmarinated. There was a maximum of salt and pepper on it. The meat was also largely burned. And who serves a grilled plate without salad these days? I also ordered iced tea peach and got an extremely sour slushy ice cream. For a starter plate + a grill plate and two drinks almost €60 is in my opinion absolutely inhumane. The service was nice. However, I will not enter this restaurant again.

Very tasty food, friendly service and the homemade drinks are awesome. We'd love to come back ☺️

The reservation can be made easily via the website. You will then receive a confirmation email including a .ics calendar file. It doesn't get any better. The restaurant is comfortably furnished and has a great ambience. The employees are very nice and accommodating. You never wait long if you want something, but in turn you don't get annoyed. We had the four course menu for two people. The meal was a real experience. The courses were brought to the table in perfect timing. The taste and appearance are extremely good. Every bite was a taste experience! The crowd was also perfect. We'd love to come back.

Hello dear community, We ate at the Wunderlampe today (January 10, 2025), unfortunately I cannot recommend this restaurant. We had reserved a table for 8 p.m. and had to wait 30 minutes for a seat right at the beginning, despite having a reservation. A very courteous waiter brought us soup as a small apology, a great gesture, unfortunately the soup was only lukewarm and therefore only a sobering compensation. The tragedy began after we had to wait another half hour for our starter. After we had finished with the starter and several tables that had started at the same time as us had already finished their main course, our main course finally arrived after another 40 minutes, but it was not what we ordered. In addition, after such a long wait, we no longer had any appetite, so the main course remained virtually untouched. This was our last visit to this disorganized restaurant. LG

Really a unique oriental experience...Starting with the run-down location, I couldn't convince myself how the waiter quite obviously kept pulling the Arabic bread out of the shrink-wrapped Good and Cheap bag and throwing the peels away. The bread isn't even grown or anything else what.My partner had the clay pot with chicken which really consisted of 30g of chicken and mostly green beans from the jar. This fun alone cost almost €20. I had it Beef skewers with rice and it was by far the worst thing I've ever eaten outside. Even if I don't fully understand how you could go wrong with it. At any kebab the food would have been prepared better and would have cost 1/3. This shop is In my opinion it's a disgrace and I can't understand how anyone can be enthusiastic about it unless you like fried dumplings or canned food at overpriced prices....

Delicious oriental food and excellent grill dishes.

very good menu, starters with the various dips highly recommended Unfortunately there was a bit of a wait at the beginning despite a reservation, but we also arrived at peak time

Delicious food, (especially the starters!). It just pulled a bit, hence 3 stars for the ambience.

Nice restaurant near the centre of Trier (15-20m by foot). The food was good and the service amazing: kind waiters (especially the one with the glasses), super fast service, they brought us other bread and sauces when ours were finished. I would really suggest this restaurant for informal occasions. Very original and nice drinks.

The food was much better a few years ago. I always think it's a shame when the standard of the kitchen falls.

Amazing place went for new years ! The food is amazing , the service is so good , will definitely go back:)

Food freshly prepared and very tasty. The homemade lemonades are to die for and not too sweet. The service staff is very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere could be nicer. In its current state it is still very reminiscent of the old “Handelshof”, which the older people of Trier certainly still know. Also important: the toilets are very clean.

Hoping to feel like we were in 1000 and 1 Nights, we were unfortunately disappointed. I had imagined the ambience to be even more cozy, bare wooden walls (it was probably a rustic restaurant before). Only a few beautiful, colorful crystal lamps reminded us of the Orient. We had to wait about 1 hour for the food. And when the food came, unfortunately it wasn't very tasty. The lamb kebabs, which were supposed to be juicy, were firm and chewy. I also reported this to the waitress. There was no apology either, just an excuse. All in all, our visit, which was not cheap by the way, was very disappointing! Too bad!!!

2022: Thoroughly recommended! The two of us had a really good meal there (once vegan and once omnivorous, each starter and main course). The service is very friendly, courteous and quick. Price-performance ratio absolutely fine. If we come to Trier again, we would like to go there again. 2024: still great!!! We were completely satisfied the second time too.

On December 26th, 2024 we were in the magic lamp again after a long time. Unfortunately we were not satisfied, which was mainly due to the service. The main courses were served before we received our starters. It was impossible to reorder drinks. Nobody came to the table to ask. We thought it was a shame that the selection of tagines had been significantly reduced.

The interior is not that fancy but very enjoyable. The food is very good and a lot. We took the 4 course diner. Both hot and cold entrie are served simultaenious but that's ok. They are a bit like tapas. The main course is a big wooden plat with loads of meat and rice and/or potatoes depending on what you want. The desert are typical oriental. We had a very good diner, to much for us. The non-alcoholic cocktailt 'Gazelle was an excellent aperitif.

Everything was great except the waiting time was way too long. We waited almost an hour for our food. Other guests who came after us quickly received their food. Otherwise everything was great.

Since we were there on Christmas Day, it unfortunately took a little long to eat. The ambience could be made even nicer. Otherwise highly recommended.

Thank you for a lovely evening with you, which certainly wasn't the last! The service is first class, very friendly and attentive. We had the 2 course menu, which is absolutely recommended. The starters are really delicious, lovingly prepared, something special. The whole thing is then topped again with the grill plate! Five stars fully deserved!

Actually great service, only one of the service staff chatted with two women at a table for 15 minutes, even though the restaurant was full and other guests besides us were waiting in the immediate vicinity to place their orders. The other two service staff worked their feet sore to take orders and bring the ordered food to the tables. Only when the service person received a call did he get back to the actual work. I don't want to have someone like that as a colleague. But the food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was great too.

There's no oriental flair to be found, the prices are high, the atmosphere is cold, I don't have to go there anymore... since there's no alcohol, everyone should decide for themselves whether they want to drink something or not........ .

Authentic, delicious and friendly!

Arrived at 8 p.m., flew out at 9:30 p.m. Although it was communicated in advance, it was then rigorously implemented.

Very good food with great service….Decor older but cozy 👍🏻

Food would have been tasty, but it was cold Portion small.

Food was okay so far but unfortunately I expected much better from the 4 course menu. The price of €95 for two people with a drink is far too much for the food. Dessert/baklava can be much better and black tea with a filter doesn't work at all. A semaver would be appropriate.

Highly recommended...again and again

We had a lovely evening with great food. Above all, the starters and the dessert were a poem....the main course was also very good, but unfortunately only lukewarm....but definitely highly recommended!!

We would be left standing at the entrance for quite a long time. The lemonades were very tasty, I thought the food was pretty average. In summer the atmosphere on the terrace is certainly very nice!

Es sieht sehr schön aus, die Mitarbeiter sind alle sehr nett. Es ist sehr ruhig und entspannt hier, Die Preise sind auch gut

Very friendly service, delicious food

Very tasty oriental restaurant with a large selection that we can absolutely recommend. The two of us had 7 starters and a tajine as main courses, one vegetarian and one with lamb. Both were super tasty and authentic We will definitely come back next time we are in Trier

We visited the magic lamp on Saturday evening with a guest who is a vegetarian. Only possible with reservation. Despite the restaurant being completely full, the service was pleasantly relaxed and prompt, and the food we ordered arrived in a reasonable time and without delay. There are incredibly delicious (non-alcoholic) cocktails and the food is very varied and tastes excellent! Also highly recommended for vegetarians, as the selection of vegetarian dishes is very large and they also taste very aromatic and delicious. A wonderful evening! Many thanks to the team!

Delicious food served by very friendly service

Very nice cozy restaurant. I was really pleasantly surprised. The food was really well seasoned and therefore very tasty. I would be happy to go there again and recommend it to others.

Magic Lamp's food was great! Everything was fresh, delicious and prepared with a lot of love. The pickup went smoothly and the staff was very friendly. Absolutely recommended – I would love to come back!

The food and service were excellent. Everything looked delicious in the pictures, but it was actually even better than we imagined. We'll definitely be back

The starters were very tasty. Unfortunately the food for my wife was too spicy. The minced meat skewers had two levels of spiciness, which the waiter unfortunately forgot to mention, which is why my wife burned her mouth right at the beginning. Unfortunately, the service is stressful All in all it was a nice evening. We would love to come back and try out more dishes.

Rarely eaten so deliciously. We had the menu of starters, main course and dessert. Vegetarian and with meat. Really really good. Unfortunately we didn't manage to do everything. There were 7 of us and had several menus combined. Portions were generous. The lemonades were freshly made and very tasty. The service was friendly. But had a lot to do. The restaurant was full. Reservations in advance are recommended.

The food was good and tasty. But it was all delivered too fast to our tablet. We just had our first drinks and the first course was served, together with the second course. And while still eating, the main course was placed on our table. When cleaning our table after we finished, they wanted to place the dessert. We asked for more time to let the food settle, after 5 minutes they asked again, and another 5 minutes later they just placed it on our table. Never we were aked for second drinks. Personel was not very friendly, overall.

So there were 4 of us eating there. The service was terrible, there was no beer because alcohol is a sin, but the waiter smoked a cigarette in front of the window (what a hypocrite). The food was lukewarm and the portions were absolutely not enough for main courses but relatively expensive. Given that this place was so advertised it was an absolute flop, I will neither recommend it nor eat there again.

So I actually think it's bad that there is no alcohol. Everyone should decide for themselves whether they want to drink something or not I would have expected more from the food Oriental spices etc.. Freshness More or less very entt

The cards were totally dirty, all 2 of them, be careful! the rest is fine

Very nice atmosphere, very friendly service, very good prices. We'll definitely be back

Great exotic restaurant, something completely different!😊

The dish was a bit cold and the chicken was too dry for it being grilled. Other than that, the taste was pretty good.

We were there with 4 people and had the 4 course menu for €37 per person. With a menu like this I always think it's great that you can try everything. For starters there were always two of some dishes, so we always halved them so that each of us could try them. The main course was also very tasty and a lot. With the 4-course menu, the dessert could be a little larger for 4 people so that everyone has something from each other, so we halved everything again. The atmosphere is very cozy and nice. The service was very friendly and polite. We would love to come back.

The place look ok but you’re sitting on a wooden bench with no pillows. The starters are quite small and not really what I’m use to in other Middle Eastern restaurants. The meat was very good and the portion was enough. Good service. Unfortunately no Arabic coffee ( with cardamom) for desert . A bit pricy.

The restaurant was very busy, so despite having a reservation we had to wait until a table became available. But then everything went quickly. We were served in a friendly and professional manner. The food was excellent all round and there was absolutely nothing to complain about. The only thing that failed miserably was coffee with milk. But that didn't detract from the successful dining experience. Thanks to the entire team for this culinary highlight!!

Hello, once again in the magic lamp for dinner. Hummus is very good and absolutely recommended. The falafel was crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside. The waiter came across as a bit rushed. Conclusion: We would love to come back. It's best to reserve a table online.

We had a mix of delicious starters: baba ganoush, hummus, pepper tapenade, stuffed pastries with chicken, cheese and beef and a salad served with bread. All were very tasty and a real treat. Our main dish were very nice and spicy lambskewers with vegetables, bread, some rice and fries (odd for a Middle Eastern kitchen). It is also a bit strange that the dishes' names are so strange (baba ganous and hummus are not called that way).

We ate very well and were given exemplary advice about any intolerances. Very friendly and committed team!

The service was very friendly and attentive, the food was very tasty, sometimes with different spices than in German cuisine. We sat in the small next room, it was very comfortable and not so loud. I also like to drink a good glass of wine with a good meal. Unfortunately there are no alcoholic drinks in the magic lamp. But I can accept that and would be happy to come back.

Food was impeccable. Had a great experience from start to finish. Highly recommend.

Extremely friendly staff and really tasty food! We'd love to come back!

The food was super tasty. A huge selection of starters was served and the main course was also very sumptuous.

Very tasty food both vegetarian and meat. The appetizer platter is highly recommended.

It was very tasty with you, but much too warm, which wasn't so pleasant. Otherwise I felt very comfortable.

Very tasty food, friendly staff, I also found it authentic that there were no drinks with alcohol.

We had the 2 course menu where you can try (almost) all of the dishes. Everything was explained to us well, the service was excellent and quick, despite the restaurant being full. As it says in the menu: as if you were eating at home with an oriental family. Very tasty and absolutely recommended

Unfortunately very disappointing...we were there with family and although the service was very nice it didn't make the food any better. Ordered a grill plate for €37 and didn't get anything in return, definitely not again. Portion was suitable for children but not for an adult. And at this awesome price. Therefore, unfortunately not recommended... you'll lose your money there but you won't get full. We were extremely disappointed...

Sehr freundliche Bedienung und leckeres Essen, aber mein Fleisch war leider etwas trocken. Es sollte einem bewusst sein, dass es dort kein Alkohol gibt. Die Inneneinrichtung ist in altem Gasthaus Stil & passt nur bedingt.

I found it rather very mediocre. The starter consisted of various dips (including hummus) with bread, which was very tasty. For mains we had chicken skewers, lamb and (I assume) veal. The whole thing tasted okay, but was relatively bland. The chicken was very dry. There were no sauces/dips included or not offered when ordering. The food was also relatively heavy on our stomachs. The non-alcoholic drink selection was very good. The ambience is ancient and relatively dark (old pub), but the lighting makes it cozy. The service was attentive and on point. I can't really understand the hype surrounding the store. At some point we might come back again and try another main course...

The service is perfect, the place is great and beautiful and the interaction is very nice.

Food and drinks look and taste excellent! Attentive and friendly service - cozy atmosphere: highly recommended!!!

Wir hatten mit einer Gruppe von 7 Leuten dort zum Abendessen reserviert. Das Essen war sehr lecker, das Servicepersonal war sehr aufmerksam. Man fühlt sich ein bischen in den Orient versetzt. Im Lokal wird kein Alkohol serviert, dafür gibt es sehr leckere alkoholfreie Cocktails. Wenn wir nochmal in Trier sind, kommen wir gerne wieder.

Very tasty food with perfect service and a cozy atmosphere!!!

The service was super friendly and quick We had spicy lamb skewers Unfortunately the portions were so small that we weren't full There was only a quarter of a tomato, not even half a pepperoni, 2 small pieces of flatbread and very little rice And that for €18.90??? So the dishes are very tasty but only suitable for a small hunger in between meals

Food great, staff nice but sometimes a bit overwhelmed (since student assistants, it seems), atmosphere nice.

There is no beer, just non-alcoholic drinks

We've been there so many times and it's always delicious. Can definitely be recommended

Cozy, rustic, very tasty non-alcoholic cocktails.

Very good food. The salad could have been a little more, but since I also ordered dumplings, I was full. The service was very good, very friendly and on point. Price-performance ratio is right. The only points deducted for “ambience” even if it has nothing to do with it, it was a bit cold there. Especially if the back door (another exit?!) was open. Otherwise everything was tip top. Only recommended.

Super delicious food in many variations from mild to spicy.

The restaurant couldn't convince us. There was nothing oriental about the vegetarian pot (I was expecting okra or something like that, for example). The staff seemed hectic and the room was way too full. Then it's better to have one less table. It creates the impression that revenue is more important than the guest experience.

Were there for the first time and definitely not the last time. Really good food, top service and a cozy atmosphere.

The food has no taste, the service doesn't even ask for an alternative

Something different and really good. All six enjoyed it. Also fitting is that no alcohol is served.

The menu reads like a story from 1000 and one nights, the food tastes delicious with an exotic touch from the alcohol-free Orient. The little details make the restaurant special. Friendly and courteous service, highly recommended!

A great restaurant with great service!

Absolutely top, the service as you would expect. We will be guests there again.

Attentive service and a nice selection of food. Nice dishes, nice atmosphere and clean toilets. The music could be played a little quieter in the background.

The food was very tasty (mixed starters + lamb from the oven). The drinks were also great. Very attentive service. Absolutely recommended. Unfortunately, there is no real oriental flair due to the old furnishings, which probably cannot be changed.

The food was good, meat could have been a little hotter on the plate and was fried a bit too long. The staff are friendly and attentive. There is no alcohol or pork there, but I don't think that's a big deal.

Hatten noch keine Erfahrung mit der Küche. Wurden super beraten und das Essen war super lecker! Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Empfehlenswert!
