Restaurant International Oberhausen in Oberhausen

A truly special restaurant! The ambiance is cozy and inviting—perfect for feeling at home. The food is simply fantastic: fresh, authentic, and prepared with love. I was particularly impressed by the warmth of the staff. You're not just served, but truly cared for. You can feel genuine hospitality here. If you love Croatian cuisine or want to discover it, the International is the place for you. I highly recommend it and will definitely be back! 😊

Absolutely recommended in every respect 😃👍 for meat lovers... the grill plate was the finest... the service was perfect and I felt super comfortable here 🤩 thank you✌️😀

Nice welcome and friendly service. We were very satisfied with the food and will come back 👍

All the meats were perfectly grilled and the staff is very welcoming. Will come back.

Still one of the best restaurants in Oberhausen even after over 30 years. Food tastes good, portions good, staff friendly. You don't have to wait long for the food. It was a cozy evening. We send our warmest regards to the boss Martin and his staff. Keep it up. See you next time.

A Saturday evening when the reservation didn't work out and everything took a while. No excuse for that while we stood around a bit cramped. The meat was good and as you would expect. The rosemary potatoes are prepared with dried herbs and were sweet because they were layered. Unfortunately I missed the other order and then flippantly overplayed it, saying it was too salty. The sauce tasted mostly like fondor. The wrong wine ended up in the glass. The daily receipts were counted in the dining room. The LED next to the table flickered annoyingly. When - like at the beginning - all the seats are occupied, it is very loud. You have to like the many artificial flowers. Many smokers stand outside under the awning and bring in the cold and smoke despite the vestibule. That wasn't a nice evening. Judging by the many good reviews, we were disappointed.

Restaurant International – steak enjoyment at its best! We have visited Restaurant International many times and of course enjoyed the classic Croatian specialties such as cevapcici and grilled plates - but what really blew us away were the steaks! Grilled to perfection, buttery tender and full of flavor. Added to this is the warm service that makes us feel welcome every time. The atmosphere is cozy, traditional and invites you to linger. If you like eating high-quality meat and appreciate authentic cuisine, you shouldn't miss this restaurant. We're always happy to come back!

Went to the restaurant for the first time today and were very satisfied. We got a table quite spontaneously, which is not a given. The food was super tasty and very filling. The service was really nice and, above all, quick. We didn't have to wait long for our food, even though the shop was full. Then there were side dishes on the house, from ajvar, mayo & ketshub to bread, with olives and herb butter and finally the Croatian schnapps! Not a given these days. We'd love to come back.

Very friendly service. Super delicious food. Top meat quality. All in all, a restaurant to feel comfortable.

Super tasty food, inexpensive and great service. We felt very comfortable again.

My husband and I were here for the first time yesterday and it certainly wasn't the last time. The food was really very good and the service is just great. The waiters were very attentive and super friendly. It was a completely successful evening. We are already looking forward to the next visit.

Super tasty food, the waiters were very polite and very nice. Mega delicious food. We come there more and more often.

Three kinds of pepper steak and the service was simply outstanding. Gladly again!

We were their guests today with 14 people Great service, delicious food, we'll be happy to come back....👍😘

Great restaurant, we were there for the first time today. Very good value for money. Great quality of the food. Very friendly staff with great service. We'll definitely come back.

Our absolute favorite man in Balkan cuisine. Traditionally run family business, super attentive, fast, tasty and very lovable. We always enjoy going there.

We just had dinner there. You should actually be careful with superlatives, but what we were offered here was simply fantastic. The food was incredibly good, the atmosphere is simply incredibly beautifully decorated and the staff was friendly, well-groomed and professional. We will definitely come back to you on our next visit to Oberhausen!

The food is always good, you have to go there 😊

What I particularly liked about this restaurant was the service, super friendly, very attentive and, above all, you had the feeling that the employees enjoyed their job. I have 16 years of professional experience in the catering industry. The food was very tasty, I had the shrimps as a starter and the grilled plate as a main course, unfortunately I was too full to try dessert afterwards 🤭. All in all, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit.

It's always worth a visit, the food is great, the service is super nice and they make an effort to help you, we can only recommend it.

Delicious affordable food, even though we didn't have a reservation they managed to get us a table. Totally nice service and a nice atmosphere. We will come again 😀

Food and service perfect. All recommendations

Great restaurant with excellent service! We went to Restaurant International for the first time today and had lunch there. A really nice visit! Free soup is offered before meals until 3 p.m., and bread with butter is provided in the evening - a great gesture. The restaurant has a partly new and modern interior, which is very attractive. The attentive and quick service was particularly impressive. The waiters wear shirts, bow ties and a nice apron, which gives the ambience an elegant touch. The bathrooms and toilets are extremely clean and modern - that's not a given and a big plus! The boss is also very friendly and runs a really great shop. A small negative point is the somewhat limited parking situation on the side streets, but you're happy to accept that. We'll definitely be back soon!

We have rarely eaten so well! A great restaurant

I have never been served so quickly in my life! The waiters are very quick and attentive! You don't have to wait hours for your food and you get exactly the drinks you ordered. In the case of allergies, care is taken to implement what is possible! The atmosphere is very cozy. You can reserve for several people (in any case for 10 people). The size of the restaurant suggests that there is a reservation option for several guests. Tableware and cutlery are ready to hand upon arrival. Even if you take a starter, you will be given a small soup to sample. Both the salad with chicken breast and the pork loin were very tasty. The butter rice that was served with the pork loins, the rice was also perfectly cooked and dressed! There were five of us in the restaurant using wheelchairs, and there were no problems with space. We were served quickly and friendly, and we all enjoyed the food! There was also an aperitif on the house to say goodbye. All in all a really nice and successful evening. Thank you very much for the great hospitality! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cozy restaurant with an extensive menu. Friendly staff, and even though we came in a little later in the evening, we weren't rushed or anything like that. Highly recommended

I have to revise my review from back then. It's not one of the best restaurants in Oberhausen, but the best. I also don't know of a better restaurant in Düsseldorf, Essen and Mönchengladbach. Finally back tomorrow 😍

Ein absolut hervorragendes Restaurant. Da stimmt alles. Essen von feinsten und die Kellner auch überaus freundlich. Vielleicht möchtet ihr ne Zweigstelle (wie besprochen) im Sauerland aufmachen. 👌😋. Wir kommen ganz bestimmt bald wieder. Vielen Dank für das tolle Essen.

Excellent food. Everything is right there. The Sauerlanders will definitely come back. Kind regards and keep it up! 👌👌👌👌👌

A very nice cozy restaurant. The food is plentiful and tastes very good. The staff is also friendly. We'd love to come back.

Very tasty food. Great service. Unfortunately, it is not stated anywhere that only a small card is available for Christmas. Despite everything, a great restaurant with great service

My buddy can't stop moaning because he found the food so delicious. I think that speaks for itself. We took a plate for three, everything was delicious! We are super satisfied and would love to come back! Everything was great, we can only recommend it.

Restaurant International has been one of my favorites for almost 3 years now. No visit there was associated with negative experiences. On the contrary: Even on the stressful Christmas Day, as always, attentive and close to the customer. Thanks to the team for the great hospitality.

Absolutely outrageous what we experienced there today! We ordered a table for 20 people for Christmas Day! Of course, when we arrived there weren't enough chairs on site and we had to squeeze together so that everyone could fit on the bench! When we made the reservation we were told the menu was the same as always, which wasn't the case either! We were told we could stay from 4:30-7pm! At 6:20 p.m. almost immediately after eating we were brought the bill and we weren't allowed to drink anything! I've never experienced anything so unfriendly! The main thing is to collect money and get rid of the people! Conditions are so unpleasant! Absolute madness! The old man should consider retiring if he doesn't feel like it anymore! Food tasted great! The portion, however, is also a disgrace - a steak plate for €35 with what feels like 10 fries on it! In the end that was it for us and we will never enter this store again! Absolute impudence

Never again !!! 1. Service unfriendly 2. Most disorganized store! 3. Way too overpriced for the portions that were on the plates! We were supposed to come 30 minutes later so that we could stay until the end and were then only allowed to stay for 2 hours. Stayed and then were thrown out for another 15 minutes!!! We were told when making the reservation that there was the normal menu, but in the end we were given 2 DinA4 pages that didn't even have half of the menu on them! The service was so unfriendly. The bill was simply placed on the table and we were told we had to go! We couldn't order dessert or finish our drinks! Conclusion: The store just wants your money, it doesn't care about the well-being of the customer! We love to give tips, but even we felt it was a shame to give even 1 cent!!! It was the last time for us!!!

1. Kellner sehr unfreundlich! 2. Portionen auf dem Teller rechtfertigen nicht die teuren Preise!!! 3. Man sagte uns bei der Reservierung das an Feiertagen die normale Speisekarte vorhanden ist - dem war nicht so! Es wurden uns 2 Seiten hingelegt auf denen nicht einmal die Hälfte an Essen stand wie auf der Speisekarte. Als Vorspeise gab es nur Suppe!!! 4. Das Restaurant fragt uns, ob wir eine halbe std. später kommen können, dafür dürfen wir bleiben bis Ende offen. Wir waren eine halbe std. später da durften aber nur 2 Std bleiben, wurden dann noch 15 Min. eher rausgeschmissen und man sagte uns Getränke gibt es nicht mehr, da der Laden zu voll ist und die nächsten Gäste essen wollen! Beim rausgehen war eine Riesen Schlange an Gästen die auf ihrem Tisch warten mussten. Die Organisation in diesem Laden ist ebenfalls eine Katastrophe! Wir geben immer sehr gerne Trinkgeld, aber in diesem Laden lassen wir keinen Cent an Trinkgeld! Fazit: Unfreundliche Bedienung, schlechte Organisation und wir wurden behandelt als ob man uns sagen wollen würde: ihr dürft schnell essen, euer Geld hier lassen und dann wieder gehen und So wurden auch die Gäste einbestellt. So viel wie möglich an Menschen bestellen damit es viel Geld einbringt, im Gegenzug müssen die Gäste ihr Essen dann runter schlingen und schnell wieder weg, damit der Laden hinter her kommt um die nächsten Gäste zu bedienen!!! Für uns definitiv das letzte Mal!!!

Good quality food and excellent service. Keep it up

Incredibly delicious food. INTERNATIONAL says it all. Variety, fresh. Everything wonderful

Very tasty 😋 Food, simply great👍 Starter, main course, dessert. Cozy atmosphere and nice and friendly service...can only recommend, keep it up!🤗

A wonderful evening. Super delicious food and drinks. Nice greetings from the kitchen (hot chicken soup suitable for the cold season!) Quick preparation even though all tables were occupied. Very nice atmosphere and very friendly staff. Moderate prices and clean sanitary facilities. Gladly again 👍

We had our Christmas party there and the bowling was a lot of fun! The food was very tasty! Everyone was thrilled and the service was also on point! 😁 I can only recommend it and the prices are great 😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Keep it up!!!!

Seit vielen Jahren (mehr als 10 Jahre) besuchen wir dieses Restaurant, mal zu zweit, aber oft zu viert und Geburtstage haben wir im kleinen Saal auch mehrmals gefeiert. Wir waren wirklich nie enttäuscht, immer gute reichliche Portionen und das Fleisch wie gewünscht. Service auch prima. Die negativen Bewertungen können wir nicht nachvollziehen. Wir bleiben Stammgäste!

Clear menu, good value for money, friendly staff, tasty dishes.

Perfection in one word 🩷😍 what a fantastic meal we had here! Big 5 🌟 restaurant, we highly recommend it 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The food was very tasty and the service was friendly and quick. All special requests were fulfilled. Very reasonable prices.

Loved this place and the atmosphere is so cozy, feels like in a winter fairytale and very nice people work in there.

The service was very friendly The appetizers served were really good. Unfortunately, the minced steak lost a lot of water when it was cut. Wasn't that appetizing. The real reason for my bad rating is that we were charged for the wrong dish. After complaining, the waitress put some cash on the table in a more or less disparaging manner. When we checked the total again we found that they were still overcharging. Then we got the right remaining money in the second attempt. Despite the very unpleasant situation, I think it is a good restaurant with a family atmosphere. Too bad.

We ate there with 13 people and no one was really satisfied. Everything was there, from forgotten salads to cold side dishes. The grill plate was really a bad joke for the price. That wasn't even a senior's plate. If you really want good Balkan cuisine, you should go to the INTERNATIONAL in Duisburg Walsum. The price-performance ratio is still right.

Very good lunch at an almost impossible price! Recommended!

Nie wieder. Waren mit 13 Leuten zu einer kleinen Feier dort.Haben quer durch die Karte bestellt.Keiner war wirklich zufrieden. Die Steaks waren gut,dafür die Beilagen kalt.Auf den Grill und Filettellern war die Fleischmenge und die Qualität unterirdisch. Das ist man anders gewohnt von Balkanrestaurants. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis passt in keinster Weise.nie

Nice service, extra requests such as a children's high chair are no problem, etc.

Very good service, very nice, food is excellent

Had dinner with 4 women last night. Ordered the table at 6 p.m. and by 6:45 p.m. we were completely finished! One had the feeling that they wanted to get rid of us quickly in order to occupy the table again. Food wasn't bad but it used to be better. Pre-made schnitzel. Not freshly breaded, you could tell from the breading. I didn't want fries with the schnitzel, I preferred a baked potato and had to pay a 2 euro surcharge!!! Why ? I didn't have any fries for that! We wanted to spend a cozy women's evening and unfortunately we were forced to leave at 8 p.m

Delicious food beyond expectations.

Not the typical ambience, but nicely done. Very friendly service, flexible and customer-oriented. The food was really great (personally I really like the fried anchovies, I just wish I had aioli with them) The quality of the meat was good (steak), all in all we had a very nice evening and will come back.

Yesterday we ate here with 7 people and were always super satisfied, except this time!!!! The salmon fillet was ordered with salad, instead of with hollandaise sauce, salad and baked potato!!! First the order came as I didn't have it wanted and then I was served the salmon fillet on a side plate and a normal side salad separately. The full price appeared on the bill, i.e. €28 and when I asked that it couldn't be, it was not answered and it had to be for about 120g of salmon fillet plus a side salad 28€ have to be paid. I think that's a disgrace and I will no longer recommend this restaurant, as I did before, and I won't go in myself either. It's actually a shame, as I was otherwise always satisfied!!

Heute waren wir zum ersten Mal hier zum Mittagstisch. Von außen unscheinbar und dunkel gestaltet, da das Haus etwas nach hinten versetzt ist. Wenn man rein kommt ist es etwas eng und es hat so den Charme der 70/80er, was nicht schlecht sein muss da es sehr voll war und wohl auch viele Stammgäste mittags da waren. Die Bedienung sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Es gab eine kleine mittagskarte ( sehr gutes Preis Leistungs Verhältnis ) Für unter 20,- gab es ne Suppe, Hauptgericht , Salat und ein Stück Kuchen dazu nen 0,4er Getränk. Alles lecker …klasse Zuletzt noch die Toilette, aus der Armatur kam Wasser mit Seife gleichzeitig..tolle Erfindung .

As always, very tasty and really reasonably priced

I had a wonderful evening at Restaurant International. The atmosphere is pleasant and inviting, the staff very friendly and attentive. The food was simply great – fresh, perfectly flavored and prepared with a lot of love. You can tell that a lot of emphasis is placed on quality here. I felt completely comfortable and will definitely come back. Clear recommendation!

I had the pleasure of visiting Restaurant International and it was a wonderful experience! The atmosphere was inviting and cozy, perfect for a relaxed dinner. The menu offered a great selection of traditional Croatian dishes. I tried the Peka and it was simply delicious - tender meat that was perfectly seasoned and served with fresh vegetables. The seafood was also fresh and tasty, especially the grilled squid! The service was excellent. The staff were friendly, attentive and had good wine recommendations that complemented the food beautifully. I can recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to discover Croatian cuisine or just spend a nice evening with good food. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Very tasty food and super friendly service... if we're in the area again, we'll definitely come back!

Croatian cuisine, as always, is at its best, even in Croatia itself, where we now constantly vacation, since discovering it for ourselves, with the cleanest and warmest water, and one of the best cuisines for ourselves, and we have already traveled to almost all countries and beaches from Albania to Gibraltar and outside of Croatia. The food was very tasty, not expensive, the atmosphere was cozy, and the staff was helpful and polite. Whenever I come to Essen, it will only be to the International restaurant. My recommendations. My only regret is that this restaurant is not in my city.

Wir waren für das Wochenende in Oberhausen ( kleiner Familienausflug) und haben zufällig das Restaurant entdeckt. Am Freitag hatten wir keine Reservierung, alle Tische waren reserviert, wir haben trotzdem einen Tisch für 1,5 Stunden bekommen. Wir haben einmal Fisch- und Fleischgerichte bestellt: das war einfach lecker, der beste Fisch den ich je gegessen habe. Wir haben gleich für den nächsten Tag einen Tisch reserviert: Geschmack war wieder voll dabei. Unsere Kleine (3) isst nicht so viel, alle ( der Inhaber, Kellner, der Typ am Empfang) haben sich bemüht ihr was anzubieten. Kann man nur weiterempfehlen.

Unfortunately not recommended 😕

As always...very good. Price performance...5 ***** stars

Very inviting restaurant with very nice service, great food and a good price-performance ratio. We felt very comfortable here. Gladly again!

Food like in a fast food restaurant. The lunch menu was offered with a fish plate, but there was no explanation as to which fish it was, which is not possible at all. After asking, I was told it was Pangasius, oh well. The portions are kept quite small. The coffee we ordered was brought with sugar and a can of condensed milk, unfortunately someone had made a joke and opened the milk can and left their empty sugar packet there, really tasty. The bill was accidentally overcharged by €0.50, but this was returned immediately. After checking, I found that the bill had been overcharged for a glass of beer, so I was given back €4.50. Overall, you can say that this visit to this restaurant was a failure. As a certified food technician, I can say that I will never go to this restaurant again.

Honestly, the best restaurant I've been to so far. We came with a larger group and got a starter and dessert on the house. Great prices, great food and great service👌

I'm just extremely excited. Went there relatively spontaneously with 30 people. Had a very good, tasty and nice meal. The people there are all very friendly. And all of this for a very fair price. I can warmly recommend it to everyone.

Thank you for the lovely evening Very friendly service and great food Dessert is also recommended

Great restaurant, we were there with a larger group, super nice, friendly team. The food was also great👌🏼 Prices are good too.

Food was ok in terms of price-performance. The staff was too pushy for me. I still had my jacket on when I ordered a drink and when I had half a glass I asked for the next one. I don't like it that way.

Well-run restaurant, very nice and considerate staff. A nice atmosphere, the food was very good and the portions were large. The price/performance ratio was right. This was our first visit, we would love to come back.

Nice atmosphere, very tasty and sumptuous food, I felt like I was on vacation in Croatia! Gladly again!

Everything was perfect. According to my friend, "the best minced steak she's ever eaten."

A very cozy restaurant with a feel-good factor and great food. We tried everything from soups to the wedding platter for 2 to the Palacinke. Everything was super tasty and the portions were more than generous. All the employees were really friendly and the service was very attentive. We will definitely come back next time we visit Oberhausen.

Did not have reservation but were accommodated never the less. Food was great and the service excellent. Highly recommend,

Such delicious food, great staff and lovely atmosphere. Always my pleasure !

Super tasty, friendly service and also very inexpensive... Definitely not our last visit...

Super attentive staff, very friendly and accommodating. The food was very good and worth the price

It was a lovely evening at the bowling alley. The food was OK, we were with several people, it came quickly, it was hot but nothing special. We didn't expect that, but what was important to us was that we got a good, solid meal in a nice atmosphere combined with sporting entertainment. The price-performance ratio was satisfactory. Even small children and vegans had the right food so that everyone was happy and satisfied at the end. The 3 stars for the food are because some steaks were not cooked to perfection.

Great experience at this Croatian restaurant in Oberhausen! Friendly staff, warm atmosphere, and authentic dishes like girice and lignje made it feel like a piece of Croatia. I’ll definitely be back!

We were here by chance. It was awesome. Food great and the staff was incredibly nice and friendly.

The food was delicious, just home cooking. Fried potatoes sometimes a bit greasy. On Sundays with beef soup as a starter. Difficult for vegans.

I love the food at International, the portions are generous and taste very good. We eat there very often with the family. 1 star deducted for service because miscommunication occurs every now and then. Last time, the person in charge of our table threw away my food even though he was supposed to pack it; over half of it was still on the plate. He also simply removed the olive starters from the table because the bread was already empty? Otherwise I can't complain.

We ordered a “wedding platter” for 2 people to take away, the food was delivered super hot after 20 minutes and was enough for 4 people.

Delicious dishes, great Julischka. Friendly service and

Wonderful food, good service, top value for money.

Unfortunately the food wasn't quite warm, but it was good

As always top, very nice service, food was great.

Very friendly service, very tasty food and good portions.

I always enjoy eating there. Top quality food, very friendly staff, cozy

The food was plentiful and very tasty. Super friendly staff, very accommodating. Nice ambience. All in all there is nothing to complain about. Gladly again.

Very nice service and the food is also very, very tasty

Today we were eating at the International Restaurant. We each had a grill plate. Very tasty, meat very tender and juicy. We will definitely do this again. See you soon

Ate very well. We always like to come back. Everyone is always friendly there.

The food was plentiful. The waitress was out of her mind. The ambience was very nice.

We have been regular guests there for over 40 years, with friendly service and good food.

Food that is worth its price. Very attentive service.

Nice cozy bowling alley. Delicious food and good service. I'd love to come back!
