Restaurant Fatamorgana in Mülheim an der Ruhr

Because of the many positive reviews, we wanted to test the restaurant. Unfortunately we were very disappointed. Apart from the falafel and the eggplant (starters), we didn't like anything. Service was hardly guest-oriented. Definitely overpriced for value for money.

Extremely friendly owner, freebies, very tasty!

Great restoration, great food. The atmosphere is very, very nice and the service is very, very friendly, a piece of Egypt and always happy to come back

The food was delicious. The cellars and the cook are very nice.

We have already eaten in the restaurant twice and were very impressed. The food is really delicious, there is a great selection of dishes. The restaurant is small, but that makes it very cozy and it is very attractively decorated. You feel good! The employees were also very positive. Every time really very friendly and accommodating. The tea at the end rounds off the evening nicely :-)

Extremely tasty and very nice service.

Good food, unobtrusive but attentive service. We found it a bit cool, even though the restaurant was very full. This also made it seem a bit cramped. Tables are close together, so even the waitress had problems serving us food. But I will definitely eat there again when I crave Arabic, Egyptian cuisine.

Great experience, would love to go back with the family! Great and fast service with a good atmosphere

If you have never tried Egyptian food, you should go there immediately for a great taste experience and a unique dessert

We had a wonderful evening with good food🫶🏻 the staff was very attentive and friendly! We'll be back ❤️

You have to try it and eat it.👍👍 Very tasty!! 👍👍Something different. Always happy . Very friendly service. 👍👍

Really a cute shop. The food was excellent and the service was extremely attentive and friendly. In terms of price, the evening was absolutely reasonable. It was definitely not the last time we ate here

We ordered from this restaurant for the first time today via Lieferando and were absolutely thrilled! After we've often been disappointed with other orders, this time the food really surprised us - in the best possible way! Everything was delicious, fresh and we were even given a free dessert that we hadn't even ordered. Delivery was incredibly fast and everything arrived hot. Overall a really great experience! We'll definitely be happy to order here again!

We sat in the outdoor area. There are a lot of things that could be changed here, the first impression wasn't positive for us, but you shouldn't let that put you off. It was a very hot day and too warm inside, it looked nice there. The food quickly changed the first impression and the employees were all very friendly and happy to answer questions. We decided on the menu, 12 starters, one grilled fish and one meat and dessert. Price-performance ratio is okay, considering the current price increases in the food sector. Would love to come back.

A bit hidden but definitely worth a visit. Both the guest room and the inner courtyard are furnished with a lot of love. You get Arabic/Egyptian cuisine that is clearly above snack bar quality. The fresh peppermint tea and the homemade falafel are particularly recommended. The only criticism...some tables are too small to accommodate the entire selection.

Totally nice restaurant with outdoor seating, all of which are very nicely designed. The food was pleasantly seasoned and the dessert was unique. The service was super nice and the fact that we still got a seat without a reservation was really great.

The friendly and attentive service, a dream. Delicious food, cozy courtyard

The food is not good at all. Everything is frozen food. Nothing is fresh, dishes were too salty and too fatty. My Egyptian partner and I wanted to leave after the first bite. The restaurant itself is very outdated. The toilets were not very clean. Looked like public restrooms. The service is fine but not great.

Ate Arabic for the first time, I was very satisfied, the food was very good 👍 the service was great and we also really liked the ambience. We would come back at any time.

The service and the food were top notch. We sat outside, it's not perfectly designed yet, but it looks quite nice.

We have menu 1 twice. Once with the Fatamorgana plate and once with the fish plate. The cold starters are a blast. The service is very very good.

A very nice restaurant with super friendly staff. Starters and dessert were great. My main course was delicious, just a little too oily for me. Next time I would order something different. All in all, highly recommended. I would go again.

Everything was okay. Employees are very nice

Meat cooked to perfection, super-loving and attentive staff. We had menu 2, which would have been enough for 4 people. Table arrangement is completely okay and not as some non-cosmopolitan people describe here. The absolute recommendation for anyone who is not typically German, small-minded and narrow-minded. Drinks were also filled well over the brim and my glass could easily have been touched on the rim with a finger a thousand times. The overall rating here is completely underrated because of stupid people. The prices are super cheap for what is on offer. Many thanks to the Fatamorgana team for great food, great service and an authentic feeling. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Very cheap, cozy little beer garden at the back, very tasty and typical of the country

Great authentic cuisine. The two gentlemen were so attentive and accommodating. Completely satisfied.

Schon mehrfach hier gewesen. Sehr lecker und ein gutes Preis Leistung Verhältnis. Sehr aufmerksame Bedienung. Vom Holzkohlegrill und das schmeckt man.

Very good food, good service and nice ambience.

The staff is friendly and attentive, the quality of the food is good and it is beautifully presented. The glasses are held at the top of the drinking rim. The price level and the quality offered are consistent. The seating is quite tight, which is a bit uncomfortable, especially when there are a lot of visitors. Overall, we felt comfortable and would love to come back. July 2024

A dream from 1001 nights. Friendly, unobtrusive service, very authentic cuisine with great taste and quality and at an unbeatable price. It's better to book a table on the weekend!

The food was very good and also very plentiful. The staff was very friendly, just great, I would love to come back

Everything just fit. Super nice service, delicious and only recommended.

It was nice and delicious to eat something traditional Egyptian.

The food is very authentic, the service and the ambience are top class. The waiter had a little mishap ;) a small stain on his shirt, but then it started. A tea on the house, he skipped dessert. With that the little painter was forgotten again. Thanks to the team for the good time we had with you

Very nice😉 Very good cuisine, always freshly prepared! From now on a favorite restaurant!!!

We were here for the first time today. Great service!!! Furnishings typical of the country, rustic and cozy. The food was very tasty!!! And we were allowed to keep our voucher from the book for next time ;) We would love to come back!!!

Very authentic Egyptian restaurant with the right ambience. Food - Rich, good and meets all expectations. Very friendly and competent service. Fast and reliable even under high loads. ..., you should make a reservation.

Very tasty food, courteous service and good location for a walk

Very tasty food. A small selection of starters would be served as a greeting of the house to shorten the waiting time for the main course. I found it very friendly and attentive. It didn't take long until the main course came. For dessert there was also a small variation on the house. I was very surprised by this hospitality! Thank you! Friendly staff and a typical Egyptian atmosphere.

The small starters were good but the main course had just too much meat, too strongly seasoned and grilled for too long. It was also interesting that the staff, including the chef, suddenly sat down at a table in the restaurant to eat. But somehow family-like. I think you have to know a little more about the menu and get the right ones.

Small but nice! Very tasty and super friendly staff :)

You can enjoy a very tasty food and the owner is nice. I would visit the restaurant again.

The courtyard is very inviting in summer. The price/performance ratio is very good and the food is very good.

Fantastic service, super tasty food, great price and performance. I can only recommend!!!

Nice all around... Very tasty food, invitation for dessert, very friendly service, nice atmosphere, comfortably furnished

Owner very accommodating and absolutely understands the service area! Food top quality and great selection! I can recommend it 100%!

Super delicious food, nice service and great atmosphere! Happy to come back!

Were there for the first time today and the food was delicious. The staff was also very nice and friendly. They also paid a lot of attention to details, especially with the birthday child. Thanks again, we will come back and recommend the restaurant 🫶🏼

Everything is wonderful. Highly Recommended

Incredibly nice staff and excellent food. We were there with a large group and were thoroughly impressed. I would love to come back any time. Absolute recommendation.

A great restaurant... authentic and really recommended LG from Moers Thorsten

Very friendly service, great ambience and delicious food. Totally recommended 😊

A real insider tip!!! The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Small and remote restaurant that has no walk-in customers. Reminds me of a pub with an Egyptian atmosphere. Rather simply but colorfully furnished. The chairs could use a thorough cleaning as the backrests were stuck together. But the food is really good and the price/performance ratio is right. The service is very friendly, quick and not intrusive. The mint tea with fresh mint is highly recommended. Happy again and highly recommended.

Very cozy, delicious food and super nice service

very very very tasty... staff very friendly and accommodating... we can only recommend it... we would be happy to come back

It was our first time there, but not the last time. The service and food was excellent. We'd love to come back. 😊

A great restaurant where the price/performance ratio is still right. Incredibly good service and very tasty food. Thanks for a great evening! :) We'll definitely be back. Update... We were there again. The food was good again. This time a lot on... The sanitary facilities need renovation. (are clean, but worn out.). Here it would be good if you invest time, money and some love)

Great boss, very nice employees and very, very tasty food, keep it up

The staff was very friendly and the food was very tasty, highly recommended.

Wir waren heute zum ersten mal dort, da wir das Restaurant über das Gutscheinbüchlein gefunden haben. Ambiente ägyptisch, Mitarbeiter und Chef sehr nett! Preise sehr fair! Essen war köstlich. Wir haben sogar Verspeisen und Nachspeise und Tee gratis dazu bekommen. Auf Wunsch haben sie sogar arabische Musik angemacht! Das Essen war so lecker, es hat alles gestimmt, wir kommen 100% wieder und empfehlen von Herzen das Fatamorgana Jeden FR sogar mit Bauchtänzerin

Köfte war sehr sehr lecker. Service und Bedienung echt super. Kleiner gemütlicher Laden. Kategorie „Geheimtipp“ alle vier Gerichte die bestellt wurden haben sehr gut geschmeckt. Nachspeise und Tee gab es auf Kosten des Hauses. Sehr zufrieden. Preise auch sehr freundlich 👌🏻

Wir waren heute das erste mal hier, haben das Gutschein Buch aus Mülheim und Oberhausen, dort ist das Restaurant mit drin. Unsere Gruppe bestand aus 7 Leuten. Essen kam zeitgleich und war lecker. Ich für mich persönlich fand es lecker aber es hat mich nicht umgehauen. Preise sind aber vollkommen im Rahmen, ca. 19€ für ein Hauptgericht. Das Restaurant an sich ist sehr dunkel bzw schwummerig beleuchtet und die Tische stehen sehr eng. Meins war es irgendwie gesamt nicht, ich kann garnicht genau sagen warum.

Ein bezauberndes Lokal mit einer herzlichen Atmosphäre. Der Service ist unfassbar gut, und das Essen schmeckt hervorragend. Wir fühlten uns von Anfang an unglaublich herzlich willkommen. Vielen Dank für einen gemütlichen und leckeren Abend!

Im Urlaub in Bonn unterwegs im Ruhr Museum sind wir auf dieses Lokal gestossen. Beste Falafel ever.Alles andere auch sehr gut. Das Essen kam schnell, die Bewirtung sehr gastfreundlich. Wenn ich wieder nach Deutschland komme, seht ihr mich wieder.

Immer wieder ein Genuß, nach langer Zeit wieder da gewesen ! Sehr günstige Preisen. Sehr leckeres Essen und Trinken. Buffet für Vorspeisen und Nachtisch hat nachgelassen. Tolle Cocktails mit witzigen ägyptischen Namen. Personal sehr freundlich. Sehr schnelle Zubereitung von Speisen obwohl alle Tische belegt. Ambiente Topp. Punktabzug wegen unsaubere sanitäre Anlage

Delicious food and friendly service, highly recommended!

Hervorragendes Schisch Kebap ... und netter Typ!!

Waren eine große Gruppe. Stühle so eng, Rückenlehne an Rückenlehne, dass es einfach nicht gemütlich war (auch für schlanke Menschen). Vorspeisen super, Hauptgericht wahrscheinlich gut , wenn nicht so voll, aber so war es leider nur okay.

Menü mit interessantem Vorspeisenbuffet und Nachtisch, Speisen lecker gewürzt, freundlicher, aufmerksamer, aber unaufdringlicher Service, wir kommen bestimmt wieder

Eine der Beste Läden in NRW Top Essen Qualität 👍 Faire Preise 👍 Auf passen extreme freundliche Service ❤

Sonntags zum ersten Mal dort, sehr freundlicher Empfang u schneller Service ! Haben uns die Vorspeisen Auswahl gegönnt bis auf drei Sachen nicht unser Geschmack alles sehr lecker ! Dann anschließend die Grillplatte für zwei Personen bestellt ! Der Reis war wirklich klasse wie auch die Hackfleisch Spieße u Lamm u Huhnspiesse zart u safig ! Leider war das Rind sehr zäh u der gegrillte Fisch sehr trocken ! Alles in allen trotzdem ein schönes Essen u reichlich dazu ! Grüße aus Moers

Alles super, kommen gerne wieder. Essen war wirklich sehr lecker. Hatten die Auberginen mit Peperonis und Auberginenmus mit Sesam. Als Hauptspeise den Fatamorgana Teller mit Fisch und Gambas. Einzig die Parksituation ist ein wenig schwierig.

Leider kann ich beim Service nur 5 Sterne vergeben. Verdient wären mindestens 10. Eine vorbildliche Gastfreundlichkeit und unglaublich lieb. Kann ich nur wärmstens empfehlen und bedanke mich herzlichst für den wunderbaren Abend. Vielen lieben Dank 🤗

Tolles Restaurant welches zur Wiederholung einlädt. Die Bedienung ist sehr aufmerksam und professionell. Das Essen ist frisch und lecker zubereitet. Wir kommen gerne wieder und sagen Dankeschön!!!

Schönes kleines Lokal, köstliche Gerichte und sehr guter netter Service. Klare Empfehlung, eine Reservierung ist sinnvoll.

Klein, schnuckelig authentisch. Zum Glück nur teilweise auf den typisch deutschen Geschmack angepasste Gerichte. Vorspeisenteller sind ein " must try have". Inhaber( = Service) einfach ein guter Typ, den man mögen muss( Komm als Gast und zeige Respekt für die Arbeit welche für Dich geleistet wird und bekomme Respekt und Freundlichkeit zurück) Gerne noch mehr typisch altägyptische Gerichte. Preis Leistung einfach überzeugend. Zurück aus dem 1 Ägyptenurlaub, ausprobiert und rundum überzeugt. Sehr nah am Genuss in Ägypten

Wieder einmal mit der Wandergruppe unterwegs zur Wochenteiler Feierabendrunde. Ein Tisch für 8 ist schnell gemacht. Der Wirt hat sich super engagiert und immer wieder kleine Aufmerksamkeiten kostenlos spendiert, damit wir alles mal probieren könnten. Tausend Dank. Wir sind bald wieder da!

Es passte und kann das Lokal weiterempfehlen.

Ein kleines aber unglaublich gemütliches Restaurant. Das Essen ist unglaublich lecker. Die Vorspeisen alleine sind schon einen Besuch wert. Alles toll gewürzt, das Fleisch und der Fisch super zart. Der Nachtisch nicht zu süß. Der Service war perfekt, super freundlich, aufmerksam und mit Freude dabei.

Sehr freundliches Personal, leckeres Essen, angenehme Preise

Hervorragendes Restaurant mit freundlicher Bedienung. Kinder werden herzlich willkommen geheißen. Das Menu ist besonders lecker und sehr reichhaltig

Wir waren das erste Mal ägyptisch Essen. Es war sehr lecker, der Service war super und auch Portionstechnisch hat alles gepasst. Ganz klare 5 Sterne von uns.

Ganz tolles Essen und eine sehr nette Bedienung! Alle Erwartungen wurden mehr als erfüllt. Wir sind begeistertert und kommen gerne wieder! Herzlichen Dank!

Wir waren begeistert vom Essen und von der Freundlichkeit. Hier kommen wir gerne wieder hin! DANKE! 🙏

Ambiente eher abgewohnt, Service erstklassig, Portionen reichlich und lecker

sehr lecker Essen. Gute Preis/ Leistung. Sehr freundlicher Service. Man fühlt sich willkommen!

Essen der anderen Art. Tolle Gewürzkompositionen.

Tolles Ambiente, leckeres Essen und sehr herzliches Personal. Mein Partner und ich haben uns wie bei Freunden im Orient gefühlt. Wie ein Urlaubstag!

The place is amazing very authentic. The people working there are kind and hospitable. The food 10/10 will probably visit again.

Wir haben gut gegessen, es war mal etwas anderes.

Hallo, Essen war einfach super. Was nicht so schön ist, zu kleine Tische für 6 Personen, zu eng.... Aber sonst kommen wir bestimmt wieder. Lg

Ein schöner ägyptischer Abend. Danke

We had the tasting menu to share which was interesting and included a few things we had not experienced in Egypt itself. We were both happy with our main course and well left contented afterwards. They have constructed an outside area which will be great in the summer, but was a little to chilly to try yesterday.

Ein Abend Urlaub? Das ist hier genau das, was wir erlebt haben. Toller Service, extrem netter Chef mit 1000 Leckereien aus Ägypten. Ob die vielfältige Vorspeise oder die herrlichen Hauptgerichte...Es war köstlich und obwohl wir schon vollkommen satt waren konnten wir das leckere Dessert nicht stehen lassen...Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder❤️und im Sommer werden wir uns auf der Terrasse verwöhnen lassen....👍

Wir sind sehr nett bedient worden und alles, was wir probiert haben war lecker. Vorspeisen, Fisch, Gambas, Nachtisch. Schöne Terrasse.

Zunächst: Die Einrichtung ist liebevoll gestaltet und man fühlt sich in den Orient entführt. Die Speisen haben uns sehr gut geschmeckt. Wir hatten die 12 veschiedenen Vorspeisen und Hauptgerichte. Auch wenn alles gut war, hat ein Gericht mit Reis Gemüse und Hackfleich die anderen wirklcih übertroffen. Sehr lecker. Toll gewürzt. Leider haben wir den Namen vergessen. Nach einem nachträglichen Blick in die Karte könnte das Maklouba gewesen sein

Dined here with business colleagues - buffet style restaurant, which also offers live entertainment on a Saturday evening (DJ's & belly dancers). Restaurant is certainly popular, though the diners are literally wedged into tables - impossible to leave the table without asking several other diners to get up too!. There is a happy, party atmosphere in the restaurant, though the music was unbearably loud, and a little off (like a cross between authentic middle-eastern music, mixed with techno by an amateur DJ). The dancer was a brief distraction, but again struggled with the compact space available. Food was good though, and the pricing offered excellent value.

Wären das erste Mal dort mittels Groupon Gutschein für ein 3–Gänge Menü. Super freundlicher Service, nette Einrichtung. Wir begonnen mit einem Vorspeisen Büffet, danach aus der Karte ein Hauptgericht, zum Schluss Nachspeisen vom Büffet. Wir waren sehr zufrieden, Qualität des Essens, Service und Ambiente super.

We walked around 20km through the woods and across the island west of Mülheim centre. It was the first really hot day of the spring (peak of 24°C) and after the long walk we were searching for something fresh and light. The Fatamorgana (differently from what the name means) was an unexpected place where to stop. As starter we took a Basingan (aubergine in tomato and garlic souse that was a little but not too much spicy) and a Laban (fresh cheese with cucumbers and garlic) in combination with typical arabian bread. Both light and fresh. To drink we chose Mumie and Sahara (2 alcohol-free Cocktails not listed in the online menu), that ware lovely to see, refreshing and really appropriate for the sunny day we had. As main dish we took Falafel (veggie beans balls) and Tagan Gambas (spicy prawns with peperoni and some salad). Both dishes had a portion rice (was that written in the menu? Do not remember) and if you do not eat too much, just skip the starters because for me that was enough (obiously not for my bf). At the end of the lunch the owners gifted us a dessert and a dark tee with mint. I cannot describe the dessert: I never eat something like that before, but I guess it was some kind of yogurt with baklawa, chocolate and sponge cake. The food was overall really tasty, refreshing and well dished: nothing has been left on the plate! The service was nice and the owners friendly. What is only probably missing is a little more description on the menu, but the overall experience was really good.
