Restaurant Al Dar Bremen in Bremen

Well………, what can I say!?!?!?!? The restaurant had already been recommended to us by many other people and today we were able to get an idea of ​​the atmosphere for ourselves: the train station atmosphere is, to put it mildly, the size of the restaurant. The food was really fantastic and worth a trip to the other side of the world. What really makes me sad is the discrimination against Germans in this restaurant. This should not be misunderstood, but the procedure was different for non-Germans. For example, during the meal we were asked whether everything was OK (for example, we were not asked about this) We were also able to observe a quicker processing of the meal between us/or German guests and people with a migration background………., it could be our imagination or over-interpretation………. We ourselves will be more likely to visit El Sol again in the future………., because all guests are treated equally…..

The food was very tasty, the service was attentive. Even though it was very crowded, it went quite quickly. The only drawback is the noise when it's full. Then it's really loud.

Service was for the most part polite and courteous. I love Syrian cuisine. The food was a bit too bland for me and unfortunately I didn't like it. Some of the prices were already overpriced. I can't understand almost €20 per head for a little mezze, which we shared, in addition to the main course. I didn't like the acoustics, way too loud. The restaurant was filled with lots of loud people and I found that unpleasant. We had to speak louder to each other ourselves. I don't like it, other people love it. Everyone can have their own experiences.

The food wasn't special. Motabal was served very poorly. I can prepare it better at home. Bread was not fresh and not homemade. Desserts weren't special either. Rice was too little. In general, for such a chic restaurant, I give the food a 6.5 out of 10. I don't like it. Service wasn't great either.

The two of us were at Al Dar on a Monday. The welcome and service is friendly. The restaurant is well furnished and everything is intact and clean. We ordered Meza for 2. Neither the preparation nor the presentation of the dishes, for which Al Dar charges €24.50 per person, justify this price. Meza is similar to Spanish tapas. The dish consists of a selection of finger food. 2 falafels, 2 fatayer spinach pies and sambusik (filled dumplings, dips, vegetables and Persian pita chips. The dips and salads were ok, the meat in the lamb sambusik was tough. We've had this dish in other restaurants, but here it didn't convince us for just under €25.00. A glass of house wine costs a reasonable €8.50. For the appetizer, 2 glasses of wine and a large bottle of water, including tip, €85 was due.

Everything is great! Only the prices are already at the upper limit but are understandable and OK for the quality delivered.

On November 16, 2024 we ate at Al Dar for the first time. I was very impressed by the ambience. Super-duper. The food was also delicious and the staff was very friendly and attentive. Thank you very much for the lovely evening.

Very good food at reasonable prices. Very attentive and friendly staff. The industrial style of the location is due to the location, but doesn't really fit...

Great service, great food. Happy to come back 😊

From the starter to the homemade ice cream (pomegranate, fig), everything was delicious. We got a table on a Sunday evening without a reservation. The service was very very nice. We'd love to come back.

Nice service and the food was very good and tasted good

A great restaurant, the food is very good. Everything we ate there is very tasty. The service staff very friendly and attentive. Great ambience with big lights. The tables are stylishly set and there are beautiful dishes. The only thing that bothers me a bit is the acoustics. When the store is full it is very loud. This can be very annoying for older guests.

Very tasty, varied food. I'd love to come back.

Sensational restaurant Selection and quality of the food was excellent Service is always present but unobtrusive Very attentive Absolute 5 stars

Super delicious food, very nice staff We had to wait a long time just to pay, but we finally went to the counter and paid there.

Very tasty food Super nice staff, great atmosphere... Highly recommended.

Very good restaurant! Authentic, tasty, value for money more than good! We have been guests for years and have never been disappointed. Keep it up!!!

The service was very bad and the staff were very arrogant. The food was also bad and the atmosphere was inappropriate

Very good food, a completely new good experience. Highly recommended 👍🏻👍🏻

We recently had dinner there, which was very tasty, I ordered a mixed grill plate with 3 types of meat: lamb, chicken and beef fillet with fried potato slices, all very tasty 😋, before that there was the starter with various hummus and pastes, also very tasty . The price/performance ratio is right

We were here spontaneously for lunch on March 3rd, 2010. The food selected was tasty and good. Unfortunately we cannot say the same about the service. Apparently they forgot about us after the starter - it only came after we reported. The drinks we ordered didn't come at all, but they were on the bill. The restaurant wasn't crowded, but the service was unfortunately overwhelming. Too bad.

Authentic, delicious Syrian cuisine, good service and nice ambience! Clear recommendation if you are looking for “something different” in Bremen!

The food was delicious, it tasted good! Unfortunately, you couldn't fully communicate with the employee because he didn't understand anything and couldn't speak German. I also noticed that German customers are treated better than foreign customers. Which was an absolute no go for me. Normally there is the option to pay at the table, we were asked to pay directly at the checkout, which wasn't entirely understandable to me - the shop was pretty empty. I cannot recommend Al Dar.

Tried Syrian cuisine for the first time with my partner. We were both blown away and were very full. Our recommendation: Partner menu 2: Travel through Syria + homemade lemonade Very happy again 👍

Rundum gelungener Spätnachmittag bis früher Abend. Erstes Mal hier gegessen und sicherlich nicht das letzte Mal. Preise etwas hoch, aber das Essen war es wert.

Service: Friendly and on the ball Food: Very tasty, especially the starters Ambience: View of the Weser with sunset A little expensive but worth every euro

A special place. A taste experience :)

Wow, good food, great service and nice people. We felt very comfortable. And of course we'll be back.

All around successful late afternoon to early evening. First time eating here and certainly not the last. Prices a bit high but the food was worth it.

Friendly service. Too little on the plate, I was still hungry after eating 😅 . I eat normally and in my opinion every man doesn't get full.

Simply great!!! We ate at AL DAR in Bremen with 8 people (some of them for the first time). Everything was delicious and even the skeptics want to come back again. Very friendly staff and despite there being a lot of guests, the food came very quickly and you didn't have to wait longer for anything else. I can definitely recommend the AL DAR 😊

Staff very nice and attentive. Food fantastic, every bite a taste experience. We'll be back, definitely! We recommend “the journey through Syria”

Right on the water, great food'

Very well attended, on Friday evening, super nice and very attentive service, a feel-good atmosphere and great cuisine. The boys and girls do a lot to make their guests' stay as pleasant as possible. I can only recommend Al Dar.

Friendly greeting at the entrance. Menu items were listlessly placed on the table. Hardly any desire to make changes in food. The very expensive food was very tasty. Unfortunately there are no pine nuts in the salad with pine nuts. Freshly tapped beers clearly under calibration. Overall OK. But in the price range there are better alternatives for us.

Very tasty 😋 The employee was very friendly and helpful

The two of us ate here on a Saturday evening. Really very tasty food at relatively high prices. Since we wanted to try different things, we ordered the “Journey through Syria” and were really full in the end. The starter was the best for us, everything was very tasty. The main course consisted of a lot of meat, but you can also order vegetarian. At the entrance you will be greeted by a service person and seated at a table. It was very busy and therefore a lot to do. All the employees were friendly, but of course also a bit stressed. The food still came quickly and we had a lovely evening. We will definitely come back again at some point.

Service was great, the atmosphere was very nice, the food was delicious, we would love to come back.

Authentic cuisine, very friendly staff and good food. Large selection of cold and hors d'oeuvres. Even when the weather is good you can sit outside on the terrace.

The restaurant is very nice, atmosphere is very pleasant, food was tasty and sufficient, staff are friendly. I recommend you.

After a long time, we were here again on a Saturday. There were five of us. What was positive: We had different starters, all of which were very tasty. Here there were different dips, lamb, lamb coated in a dough and salads. The main courses were even better. The minced lamb kebabs are very tender, nicely seasoned and have great roasted aromas. The chicken follows suit completely. There was also aioli, for example, which has a firm structure and an intense taste. A red dip that was very spicy and slightly spicy convinced us all. What was negative: A drink came after 40 minutes. One of the many waiters who served our table managed to spill some of the drinks onto the table twice. According to the menu, the starter with hummus and lamb in butter should be served with pine nuts. Unfortunately, there were significantly cheaper almond slivers that also fit but didn't correspond to the description. Too bad The rice for the main course was at most lukewarm. We were missing more of a sauce here. The saffron sauce tasted good. If you're lucky, it contains very little saffron. Last time there were individual threads on top this time I was able to find a single 1mm thread in the sauce. There are probably savings here. Also very unfortunate. The dessert platter, which is supposed to contain a bit of everything, left us looking for more in terms of taste. The sweets are mass-produced, the tea biscuits too, the ice cream was okay. The pudding tasted best there. So after the delicious main course, it left a rather disappointing finish. The bottom line is that the prices are too high for the performance. All in all, we found the food delicious, the service chaotic, disorganized and not very friendly or inviting, the location was nice but also very loud and we went home with mixed feelings.

Great location in the middle of Überseestadt.

The service: We went there spontaneously yesterday and wanted some delicious food. We went to the terrace and wanted to choose a nice place because we didn't see a waiter at first. Unfortunately, when we chose a nice place for the 5 of us, a waitress came with a very unpleasant tone and said: "That's a waitress' job, choose another place, otherwise I'll have to walk so much." I come from the catering industry myself, so I was a bit outraged. We then chose a new place that was closer. There we were greeted by a really great waiter. He was really friendly and was able to brighten up our reception.🌸 The food: The food was really delicious. The meat was totally tender and well seasoned. The rice tasted really juicy and just as I had imagined. The Al-Dar Restaurant is definitely worth a visit. The food is great and the service is always great. Thank you very much and see you next time!⭐️

Very nice restaurant with a great ambience, delicious food, very good quality meat - very friendly, professional service

Very interesting food with a good atmosphere. Service: everything is fine.

I really like that restaurant!! Just because of the desserts it deserves to try it hahahaha. I LOOVE the roses and the fig ice cream there. The chicken was juicy and tasty, I will go again and I recommend it to you😊 The service 10/10, always smiling and very professional!

Unfortunately we were a bit disappointed with our visit to Al Dar. We had falafel and an olive salad as a starter, both of which were tasteless and uninspired. It was also way too expensive for what you get. The excessively high price also extended to the drinks menu and main courses. For the main course we ate two different lamb dishes. In contrast to the matzah, both were very tasty, although nothing special. There is nothing negative to say about the service, the ambience is also good.

Were here for the second time. Our companion had asked for a quiet table as we hadn't seen each other for a long time. The table was then directly under a loudspeaker, so it was difficult to hear each other. Oh well! It worked somehow. The service staff were all friendly and accommodating. The table and the restaurant absolutely clean and tidy. The menu is clear but sufficient. You absolutely can't complain about the food itself. Everything was fresh and really tasty. However, we find the prices for the food and drinks on offer to be quite expensive. For two people with starters etc you can quickly get to €100+! All in all, we had a lovely evening with a delicious meal in a wonderful atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

We were warmly welcomed and served, the food was really tasty and the atmosphere was great.

Super! Excellent tasty food, very cozy interior, great service

The ambience is great! You enter a very nicely decorated restaurant and the sanitary facilities are clean and well maintained. The service was friendly but not very attentive. Requests were not addressed, orders were forgotten and the lady was very unprofessional when uncovering and clearing away. The food was ok. Unfortunately nothing special. The bread and potatoes were very dry. The meat was great, unfortunately the creams were not well seasoned. The homemade lemonade tasted very good. Unfortunately the price-performance ratio doesn't fit and therefore I won't be coming back.

Very good atmosphere. The vintage cars in the hall are unique. The food is excellent, as is the service,

Were there with over 40 people, very nice contact when making the reservation. Food and service great, gladly again!

We were here on a Saturday evening. We pre-ordered, but there were still a few tables available. The food was excellent, the service was very friendly. We'd love to come back.

Very tasty and a nice Bremen harbor atmosphere.

Nach langer Zeit waren wir mal wieder im Al-Dar in Bremen. Vor einigen Jahren hat man ohne Reservierung keinen Platz bekommen. Heute war das große Restaurant nur spärlich besetzt. Wir haben die Reise durch Syrien genommen. Vorspeisen sehr lecker. Hauptspeise (Fleisch und Fisch) etwas einfallslos. Der Service wäre sehr freundlich, glänzte aber durch Unkenntnis. Auf die Frage, was für ein Fisch denn die Hauptspeise sei, erfuhren wir: Fisch mit Tomatensauce. Die Fischsorte war unbekannt und wurde auch nicht geklärt. Die bestellten Aperetife entsprachen auch nicht dem Bestellten. Auf dem Tisch fehlten Servietten und teilweise Besteck.

Great meat, very nice roasted flavors. The appetizer platters are fantastically good and filling. Absolutely okay in terms of price.

Garbage abuuu garbage and servic shiteee eat estagfurullah never again they throw everything away

The restaurant is very large and, despite the lavish decoration, seems a bit uncomfortable, but that is a matter of taste. The tables are classically decorated with white blankets and dishes, the furniture is past its prime. The service is tried hard. The food is so-so. The starters are partly delicious, partly also completely bland. The bread served with it was sticky. A starter platter for 2 people (10 small bowls of creams and a dessert plate with a few warm items) costs 50 euros. The same applies to the main courses. Fried foods appear to have been fried again and are correspondingly tough. The prices are also rather high. The wines all come from Lebanon and are special and expensive at just under 10 euros per glass. Conclusion: expensive so là là, that can be done better.

Delicious! My first time eating Syrian food and after this experience, definitely not the last. Unfortunately a little more expensive, but it's worth it.

The restaurant is beautifully located on the Weser and is divided into various different areas. The entrance is in a vintage car exhibition! The service was very good, hence 4 stars. Unfortunately, the food was average at best in terms of taste.

Super delicious....to my shame I have to admit that I was here years ago and wrote it off because I thought it was "average" back then. Now I love it...I can't say whether it's me or the food...but now I'll probably come back more regularly.

Food was delicious, the bread didn't meet our expectations, unfortunately it was a bit dry. Service competent and polite. Like the ambience 👌

Food super tasty, but also high prices. It's best to eat your fill with just the starters. The ambience inside is a matter of taste, but it is beautiful outside on the terrace at sunset.

Attentive, friendly service and food that I can't help but rave about.

The staff is very friendly and the cleanliness of the restaurant is 100 out of 10. There is some note about the hummus as if it is canned and the kebab is not 100% Syrian. Please pay attention to this, but the rest of the food is very delicious and I repeat and repeat that the staff are very good and friendly and the restaurant is the best in all of Germany 🌹🌹🌹🌹

Very unfriendly and unprofessional service. The food was delicious.

Various small salads and meat very tasty 😋 and the manager is incredibly friendly, he speaks Spanish for all Latinos. Para los Latinos El Manager Habla español se llama Adir e celebrado dos veces mi cumpleaños ahi y la verdad es mi Restaurante favorite lo mejor en Bremen. Thank you for celebrating me so beautifully, my birthday so unforgettable🥰

Beautiful, great staff and absolutely delicious! Highly recommended!

We had dinner here yesterday with 6 people. First of all, the positive: We ate several different courses - everything was very good and authentic. Since we have already been to Syria several times, we are confident that we can judge this. The reception was very friendly and a table was set for us according to our wishes. But here it comes: When ordering the meal, they tried to push us in a certain order direction by repeatedly asking questions. Our impression was that we should order everything completely for 6 people, as the waitress wanted. The highlight was the wine order: We had chosen a specific wine, but the waitress wanted to push us in a different direction. We made it clear several times which wine we wanted. After a very short time the wine, already decanted, was served and poured to us. Since the carafe was almost empty, we immediately ordered another bottle of the wine we had chosen. Then the waitress came with two different bottles and we realized that we didn't have the wine we ordered in our glasses, but the wine that the waitress had highly praised. We now insisted that we receive the wine we ordered. All glasses were then exchanged and we finally got the wine we had chosen. We consider this behavior to be a massive impudence. When paying, contrary to our usual habit, we paid in cash rather than by card. Then nothing happened - and only after repeated notifications did we receive the change... The restaurant is really recommended, but be careful: you have to be careful not to get ripped off.

We can only recommend the restaurant. You just feel comfortable. Great service Super Service Super nice staff Very good traditional food All I can say is wow 👍🌹 Lg Vip Huchting driving school

A wonderful place with only one downside. He's too far away. At first we were very skeptical about what might be here. Some things sounded very special. But the great service with appropriate explanations led the two of us on a journey through Syria that was a culinary delight. The finest ingredients, perfectly balanced and well prepared offer a fireworks display of flavor in all directions. We will definitely come back if we are in Bremen. A special recommendation for anyone who is in the area.

We ordered the “Journey through Syria” with three people. Unfortunately, with three people you get the same portions as if you order with two people (I've been there before with only one person). Simply cheeky with a bill of €160.00 to serve three people only 2 scoops of ice cream for EVERYONE. Almost a rip off at such a price. Unfortunately, even if the rest tasted good, that was my last visit to you. I was too embarrassed to share two scoops of ice cream with two other people. I will never forget that and will continue to tell others the same way.

Expensive but good, good service

The food was delicious but completely overpriced! The bread wasn't fresh and warm, the waiter was a bit bored, chilling on his cell phone as there wasn't much going on. It was nice, but it remains a unique experience.

We love oriental food, even if it is Germanized. Special thanks to the waitress who had to clean up after a glass spilled. The waiter even rolled up the sleeve of my husband's shirt, a big thank you.

Tastes like manure. This puff was recommended to me by Mr. Garlic, unfortunately I was very disappointed, I had diarrhea for 4 days

Went there for the third time last Sunday. Enjoyed a vegetarian “Journey through Syria”, a three-course meal. It's always a great taste experience! The staff is always very nice.

Super tasty 😋. Staff very polite. I'd love to come back. 😉

We were welcomed very nicely. The service was very nice and attentive. The food didn't take long and tasted very good. You can also park there easily. We liked it very much. Gladly again.

Was really good We recommend the Syrian trip as a dish

Service and atmosphere is great, unfortunately food 3/10 . Prices don’t match the taste

There were three of us there and we ordered the starter plate for three. Unfortunately, this consisted almost exclusively of pastes/creams. We had to pay 24.95 per person for this. So a total of 75 euros for the starter. And you don't even get full from it because, as I said, there was only Falden bread and the creams. Although tasty, the price is not justified in my opinion.

Good restaurant in Bremen. Typical Syrian food. Overall quality not bad although they could do more. Very kind service. Parking in front of the restaurant.

Such a great food. Excellent service.

Food was tasty and staff was nice but service wasn't entirely attentive

We ate in the restaurant on a Saturday evening and it was very crowded and loud. The waiters were rather inattentive and you had to wait a long time for the drinks. The food was good.

Great food, a bit expensive, but very tasty and very cozy.

Went there for the first time, had no idea what they were eating there, so ordered a culinary journey through Syria, delicious.

Next time I visit, I'll ask the waiter his name so I can give him a shout-out. It was only the second time I ate here today and I was impressed again. The lamb is very tasty and so is everything else. For *first timers* at this restaurant, I recommend traveling to Syria. See you next time! LG Antje from Achim

Working in service is by no means easy. If the staff still works to avoid grimacing or making pointed comments when the guest requests, correcting incorrect orders and putting an end to the confrontational behavior, the visit would be excellent.

Very tasty food, great selection on the menu. The fried potatoes and the muhammara in particular were incredibly tasty. Service upscale, very friendly and attentive.

We had great food with very friendly staff. You can spend a very nice and entertaining evening here. There is also a large parking lot right in front of the door. We'd love to come back.

Everything was great, a tip to the owners, you should get the cooking fumes in the cloakroom under control, but that doesn't lead to a point deduction! Thanks.

We ate at Al Dar for the third time on Friday, January 26th, 2024. First of all, like the second time, we were pretty disappointed with our waiter. When ordering the drinks, we wanted to order a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc which costs 27 euros and the waiter asked if we would like to order the more expensive one for almost 40 euros, which is not Sauvignon Blanc. We said no, but he continued to insist that we should order it because it tastes better. But so far everything is okay. We had ordered the starters, including the grilled eggplant, which was even pointed out in the menu when we ordered. However, when the starters were brought out, we had to ask our waiter to come over and tell him that the grilled eggplant was missing. He said no and said that he hadn't ordered any, instead just the eggplant puree/mousse. He continued to insist that he did everything right. 10 minutes later, however, the grilled eggplant was brought and the eggplant puree, which we had not touched, was still on the table. When we ordered the main courses there was the next surprise. One person at the table who is currently avoiding carbohydrates as much as possible didn't want rice or Syrian potatoes with her grilled plate. She asked if she could have a small salad instead. The waiter denied this again, saying that the smell and taste did not match the meat. After a discussion, the annoyed guest gave in when the waiter said they had no alternative but to put more of the fried vegetables on their plate. But now comes the highlight! When the main courses were brought, all the plates, including the grill plates that were normally ordered, were all garnished with a bouquet of parsley and tomato salad... they said 'the taste and smell wouldn't go well with the meat'?! There was horror at the table. At every table around us, our waiter asked if everything was okay and if it would taste good. For your information, our table was in the very corner of the room, which means he was actually at our table the whole time, but no longer at ours. However, the waiter was no longer available to us. He envied our table. When the table was cleared by another server, we ordered the bill. There were errors there again. There was apparently an 'Arak on the Rocks' booked from the next table to ours. This eggplant puree/mousse was on it twice even though we ordered it once, but as mentioned we got it twice, which wasn't touched once. but even the grilled eggplant was on it. Of course, we complained and didn't have to pay. But here too it was a different service. For us, it was probably the last time in Al Dar. The service really screwed up on 2 out of 3 visits due to ignorance and unfriendliness. It's a shame because the food is very tasty and the atmosphere is very harmonious and beautiful. In this sense, praise to the kitchen, but this behavior of the service staff, which we had on 2/3 visits, unfortunately damaged the restaurant.

Visited spontaneously on a Sunday evening, the reception was a little different than before. We first asked in the kitchen whether we could still be served. A table was quickly found and the service colleague was back very quickly. Ordering was easy as there were two identical dishes. Everything happened very quickly, almost too quickly. The food was rather flat, it didn't taste particularly fresh and seemed like it had been kept warm for quite a long time. Unfortunately things have changed to the detriment, which is a shame.

After entering we were greeted warmly and kindly. We were then brought to our table, which we ordered by phone. After we got the menus, we ordered the appetizers and drinks, which were brought out after a short time. We then ordered the main courses, which were brought to the table after a normal 30 minutes. We all enjoyed it very much, because we didn't know Syrian cuisine yet it was a culinary delight. Particularly noteworthy is the friendly way in which we deal with the guests. We would come back and recommend Al-Dar. It was a particularly beautiful evening. Keep it up. Thanks!!!

Sehr nette Begrüßung bis zum Platz, aufmerksam, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Werden wiederkommen 👌

Service was super nice, quick & courteous. Food was absolutely top. The taste is amazing and enough to fill you up.

Es ist sehr gut und die Menschen sind super freundlich. Wir gehen gern da hin.
