Restaurant L´Orient in Hamburg

When we visited at lunchtime we easily got a seat. The “Mazza” - various small appetizers - from average to interesting. The “lamb shawarma grilled, on rice with fresh salad and yoghurt” not in a flatbread, but as a plated dish. The side salad is fresh but prepared in a purely European way, the meat is good average, but could be even more oriental. The service was friendly, but the remains of the starters that had climbed onto the table were not removed either before or after the following course - unpleasant.

We had one of the best dinner experiences at L'Orient. We walked in without knowing we needed to make reservations. But the staff were super accommodative and sweet to find us a table and made sure we were absolutely comfortable. They gave us great suggestions on food and even a perk dessert! Absolutely loved this place! For the food, the ambience but most of all because of the team who make this restaurant what it is!! Thank-you for making sure we had a wonderful dinner! :)

The food was super delicious!👍🏼 Super beautifully prepared food 👍🏼 Value for money is a bit high, but it's worth it 👍🏼

A culinary journey through the cuisine of Lebanon, attentive service and absolutely fair prices, top 👍🍷

It's a shame there isn't an extra asterisk... If you are in Hamburg, you should definitely eat here. I haven't eaten such excellent lamb in a long time. Whether it's typical of the country or not. Quite inconspicuous from the outside but concentrated quality from the inside.. Simply great..!!! In my opinion, value for money is hard to beat.. Reservations would probably be an advantage, we were lucky that there was still a small table available. We will definitely eat here again the next time we visit Hamburg.

This was our second time here and, as before, we were extremely impressed.

The food is delicious and be careful - not only the mezze are delicious and rich - no, the main courses are also delicious and really big. In summer you can sit outside great.

I visit this place regularly for lunch. High-quality and beautifully presented food

I've been here quite often. This restaurant is bursting with culinary expertise. Perfect food with consistent quality. Reliably good. In my opinion, the service always provides everything with great friendliness. The guest room was recently spruced up with great success. Really always happy and thanks to the host. Well done.

It's a shame - it used to be better The service used to be always friendly and accommodating and the food used to be really special. Last night, when we arrived on time for our reservation, we were greeted unfriendly and left standing outside. This is how it went on: The food was ok, the corn poularde was just boring, there was nothing special left. The table was only very reluctantly wiped with a dirty cloth and remaining puddles of water upon request, the red wine was a good 26 degrees and was only put in the refrigerator for a short time upon request. The prices have risen extremely because every side dish is extra. At least we no longer got the delicious cinnamon ice cream that used to be served as a greeting from the house as dessert. In summary: it's no longer worth coming to Osterstrasse for that, it's a shame - you used to be good.

Very tasty food. Staff top❤ Always my pleasure

Very tasty food, we had salmon with vegetables. The dessert was also very tasty. We didn't order and still got a table. The service was also very good. We'd love to come back.

Unfortunately you can only give 5 stars. Insanely delicious and fresh food, first-class service. Thank you and see you next time

I can recommend it!! delicious food & super nice and funny staff :)⭐️

Completely unexpected, from the outside it looks like a no name restaurant, in fact it's a high standard libeanes restaurant that offers a modern kitchen as a fusion of Arabic and modern western taste. I tried the lamb in almond crust, super interesting!

Delicious mezze, good atmosphere and attentive service. Gladly again :)

Wonderful evening with very good food and service, waiters all very accommodating and friendly. We felt very comfortable with our friends - an all-round successful evening 😊

Lots of passion and love, thank you for the lovely evening!

When we come to Hamburg, L' Orient is always a must and we have never been disappointed. As always, the food was great and once you've tried the lamb sausages with the homemade potato chips, you won't want anything else. The service is always in a class of its own. If only one wish remains unfulfilled, please finally open a branch in Leipzig.

Top Lebanese food that is very special. The service is extremely nice and courteous, even though we were there shortly before closing time.

Food was delicious, service outstanding. Ambience not to my taste (last renovation was about 15 years ago. Everything was well-kept, but a bit old-fashioned and a bit pretentious/cheaply luxurious)

I found L’Orient on Google, then later got a trusted friend’s endorsement, so we ordered a large selection of Mezze plus a platter of Kibbeh for 12 people. The L’Orient team not only delivered the food on proper platters to our apartment but they also picked up the dishes the following day because we’re currently without a car. Very good, prompt communication with the manager and driver. The food was EXCELLENT. We eat Lebanese food a lot (my in-laws are from Lebanon), thus we have very high standards. Absolutely everything we had ordered was fresh, very tasty, perfectly seasoned - all our guests loved it, too. Highly recommend L’Orient, and on my next Hamburg visit we’ll definitely go to the actual restaurant. Huge thank to the L’Orient team for making my birthday lunch such a delicious occasion!

Great food with very attentive service

This restaurant belongs to a group of 4 restaurants. They serve Libanese food. We ordered mezze 10 dishes. Some meze dishes were very good, but some are poor such as tinned beans with spices, marinated beetroot. To sum up, average, but poor value for money. About 20 euro. The typical bread is served: very delicious. We ordered fish: it was fresh. At the end of the meal ice cream with a piece of cake was served. Very pleasant surprise. The service is friendly but could be more attentive. I liked this place. I can recommend this restaurant.

As a vegetarian, it was difficult for me to find something to eat; there were 3 vegetarian main courses that didn't particularly appeal to me and were similar. I was denied the much-praised explosion of flavor on my tongue... I would have liked to have the matzo platter, but it only works in conjunction with a main course... who is going to eat all that??? My companion liked it very much, prawns, the sauce was very tasty! Our cellar made a lot of effort, I didn't make it easy for him - thank you for your patience 🙏 What spoiled the ambience are the many dead flies in the window sills...otherwise the restaurant is cozy.

I came here for dinner with my friend today. The restaurant is small, with an indoor and outdoor area. The seats filled up quickly during dinner time and I'd definitely recommend to book - even on a Tuesday! We shared the mezza as a starter and it was a delicious selection of small tasters that went perfectly well with the bread, olive oil and Zaatar. It was a perfect amount to start with. We both choose the dinner special. Kabeljau with a lemon potato mash, beans with coriander and other spices, Tahini sauce/dressing and pomegranate seeds. The portion size was reasonable and filling. The fish was juicy and tender. Every dish we had was extremely flavourful and I highly recommend this place. The service was attentive, friendly and fast. We would definitely return! Prices are slightly on the higher price but well worth it! It was our lucky day when we received a little surprise desert from the kitchen. I can't remember what exactly the dish was but it was just as delicious as the rest. It was some sort of ice cream with a little taster of a cake-like/fruit puree slice. We will be back and I already passed on the recommendation!

Excellent food, friendly service, great flexibility

Long waiting times, food okay, service is good

Great food and very attentive staff. Very diverse and varied mezze (come with several guests) and very tasty, finely seasoned main courses. Very reasonable prices in relation to the quality. Also very helpful and friendly staff.

Outdoor seating is great. Definitely try their appetizer sampler (mazza). They also have good vegetarian options. We also got a complimentary dessert plate at the end of our meal. So that was nice. Walk-ins are entertained on weekdays. Great place for a date!

As always perfect! We always like to come back. I would also highly recommend it!

Unfortunately, people have been relying on Chici Micki for some time now. The menu is extremely small and expensive; unfortunately, starters such as falafel are only available in conjunction with the main course. You forget that some people simply can't or don't want to eat that much and maybe just want to have a bite to eat with a glass of wine. The selection is extremely small, once you've been there a few times you don't know what else to eat, very one-sided and a bit expensive. It used to be nicer with the somewhat simpler furnishings and less rigorous when it came to the selection and could also be done with less staff and less chaotic, of course it costs everything but it's no use if one person doesn't know what the other is doing. It would be better to return to your roots, something simpler

Except for the service... We were thrilled with the food. It wasn't that nice outside, we would have preferred to sit inside, but we were grateful that we were given a seat at all. The menu was great! The service overall wasn't that good. Forgotten something here and there and now I'm not really happy. But overall okay

Super versatile lunch menu! I have to briefly praise the vegetarian lunch menu - it is very varied, always wonderfully seasoned and with lots of fresh vegetables or salad. The portions are just right and the price is reasonable. Ordering for pickup is always very quick. Really great!

Saturday evening, then this wonderful dinner. Roast beef and cod. A real taste explosion. We enjoyed a great cold white wine with it. Great team, we were picked up very pleasantly and accompanied through the evening. Thanks for that. It could develop into a new local bar. We'll be back very soon. Heinz and Marie

… Lebanese delicacies, deliciously seasoned, always vegetarian dishes too… a bit cramped, but very friendly service… when the weather is good, the outdoor seating is very popular…

We were here for the first time a few days ago and we were thrilled. Great food, great service!! Attentive and friendly. We felt comfortable and would love to come back!! Thank you very much <3

Very tasty fresh food, nice design. Highly recommended 👌🏻⭐️

Food was great, there was nothing to complain about. But everything was set up too tightly. When the waiter visited the next table, his bottom visited our bread basket on the table.

100% recommended!😊👌🏼 This Restaurant is a gem! Soooooo good! Starting from the ambience which i so nicely decorated and so inviting. The service which was really friendly and attentive and of course the foods we ordered were all tasty!! Really delicious and I highly suggest that you book it in advance because it cane be full. 😊

The food and the marinated turkey strips were VERY delicious!

Delicious. Very friendly. Very professional. Next time I'll definitely take photos of the great food. Falafel. Pomegranate juice spritzer (homemade). Dessert.

Everything is very tasty, and the service is excellent!!!!))) We liked everything very much))) We will definitely go there again)) I recommend it!!!

Very tasty🤤and very good service👍👍👍👍

Innovative take on traditional Lebanese cuisine. Delicious and good value. Staff is very outgoing, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Inside and outside seating options. Try the Mazza with 8 varieties. Dajaj bel tamer (dated filled chicken) was also excellent. Highly recommend.

Anyone who has ever been here will always experience something similar, at least with us and our family. There are only three words… Just great and super, courteous service and also a really great chef. But of course we don’t want to forget the boss of the house either. Of course he contributes a lot to it. It's amazing what people can conjure up in this little kitchen! There are ten of us ⭐️ kind regards Ingeborg, Andreas and family 😘

Very tasty food and good service

Delicious drinks, nice service, thank you :)

Very tasty, inexpensive food and extremely friendly, attentive service. We would love to come back!

We spontaneously got a table for 4 here during the Easter Street Festival. Despite the restaurant being full, the service was great - competent and professional. And the food was really, really tasty. We would like to come again!

Great place great food and very nice ambiance I ordered the lamb kebabs which where very tender and soft My wife had the falafel which were so fresh and tasty! The chips were nice but I think we call them crisps in the UK!

Just great ! All around a culinary delight! شكرا‏ شُكْراً

The restaurant itself wasn't bad. However, if you don't want a stuffy restaurant, it's not recommended at all (as was my case). Everything was exaggerated and too stiff. We waited over an hour for the food, and it should have been better for such circumstances. But the cinnamon ice cream and the rest of the dessert were wonderful. Thanks for the stay.

It was a nice experience to eat there. We were warmly welcomed and very well informed and advised about the menu and the food and drinks. The food was prepared quickly and tasted incredibly delicious! Special thanks to the friendly, attentive, very polite and well-groomed and good-looking service :)) We recommend!!!

Very well-kept restaurant, with great food and very attentive staff. Great experience.

We went to dinner there last night. The food was absolutely amazing. Service was impeccable. Even though there was a small language barrier the restaurant went above and beyond the expected. I highly recommend but get a reservation. It filled up quick

Such great food and great service. We had the menu for 2 people. Great!

Very tasty food. And we had a lot of fun with the nice staff, who gave us fantastic hospitality.

Excellent food and good service justify the prices.

Delicious food. Two restaurants that are one. Somewhat simple seating.

We ended up at L'Orient relatively spontaneously and were absolutely thrilled: we were able to make a reservation at short notice, received a friendly welcome despite the delay, were served courteously and the food was great. We were also surprised at the end with a greeting from the kitchen for dessert. A real discovery and recommendation ❤️

Very tasty and special dishes in a pleasant atmosphere. The service was great and overall it was very quick and quick.

A very, very tasty meal, exceptionally good service but quite tight. But it doesn't affect the quality of the food. The starters are awesome. You have to make a reservation. Clear recommendation if you want to eat delicious oriental food.

Very charming Lebanese restaurant in Eimsbüttel. The service was excellent, friendly and customer focused. The portions were a good size and everything tasted delicious and fresh. We'd love to come back.

Really nice lunch dishes, nicely presented

Nice place decorated with a touch of elegance, music wasn't too loud, we didn't have a reservation but we were very well looked after. The food was delicious, well decorated and arranged on the plate. Well, we didn't order dessert but we got one. The ice cream they made, a cupcake that was wonderful, everything was really perfect! - Service, Atmosphere, Food! I loved it ☆

As always, the food was fantastic and the staff were very polite and quick. We always enjoy coming back.

Extremely good food with very friendly and competent service. It's a bit tight, but you're happy to accept that. Always reserve!

Really great food, friendly service and a relaxed, feel-good atmosphere. I would love to come back!

Simply good and nice and still 5 stars.

Very well cooked lunch with friendly & attentive service.

Highly recommended for someone who is not looking for something everyday

Wonderful food, top quality, very friendly service, really tasty, a great eating experience!!!

We were there promptly for lunch at 12:05, there was still a lot of space available, but by 12:30 everything was full. We decided on the lunch menu. Unfortunately I have to say the starters were okay to good. But other restaurants have it better. The main course was an absolute hit! The dessert was great too! All in all a great value for money with nice staff. Thanks for that!

Very tasty food with attentive service. If you want to take a culinary trip to the Orient, this is the right place for you.

Yummy food+please note that the ciusine is long and you’ll stay for hours (which I enjoyed) Very kind waiters and amazing food

Amazing variation of vegetarian food. Authentic and extraordinary!

The black tiger prawns on pepper vegetables were absolutely amazing. The best thing I've eaten in recent years. A nice greeting from Hesse.

It is a very cozy restaurant with very attentive service and good cuisine. The eggplant with cinnamon rice and nuts was very tasty - the other dishes were as well. On request, vegan dishes were prepared that were very well seasoned with oriental flavors. Highly recommended!

A real insider tip! I'll definitely be back soon. One thing you have to remember: be sure to reserve in advance

Food: 6.5/10 Staff/hospitality: 10/10 Atmosphere 7/10 Value to money: 2.5/10 So all in all 2.5 stars Many nice things about the place, but we all (5 people) thought it is way overpriced for the quality and quantity you get. Also, it is the first time I see dragon fruit on a Libanese dish!!! Edit: the owner filed a complaint to delete my review, which I perceive as bullying. To sum up the issue: we paid ca. 30 euros each then went for a second dinner because we were hungry. Not getting full for >30€ is ok if the quality and pure pleasure is what you are going for. In this case, in my opinion, the quality and the quantity both don’t justify the price.

Food was excellent! The taste was really good. However, the service was really slow and they even forgot my partner's dish. so, we never got his dish. I would come again but just keeping in mind that the service will be very very very slow!

Lecker Essen + Nachtisch traumhaft

Wer sachliche, faire aber kritische Rezensionen löschen lässt, kassiert erst Recht nur einen Stern. Konzentriert euch lieber auf guten Service!

Unser erster Besuch: Wir kommen wieder. Einfach nur toll. Herzlichen Dank für die wunderbaren Speisen, in toller Atmosphäre mit zuvorkommenden Service. Alt und jung waren begeistert.

Sehr schönes Ambiente, hervorragender Service! Die Vorspeisen Variationen ein Geschmackserlebnis. Hauptspeise, Wolfsbarsch, auf den Punkt genau gegrillt. Wir sind begeistert. !!! Vielen Dank

Sehr gutes Essen in schöner Location. Der Service war fantastisch und das Essen ein wirklich Erlebnis. Geschmacklich einfach perfekt.

I love this place, food and service

Ich bin ehrlich. In Altona ist es viel besser. Osterstraße sind die Tische zu eng gestellt. Man hört was am Nebentisch gesprochen wird und muß selbst leise reden. Und die Bedienung ist in Altona charmanter. Das Essen war aber sehr gut.

Wir sind immer wieder sehr angetan Das Essen ist einfach sehr geschmackvoll. Wir kommen immer wieder.

War sehr lecker. Sehr gemütlich. Danke, wir kommen noch mal.

Wir waren heute spontan zum Mittagstisch im L‘Orient: erstklassiges Essen, Preis/Leistung top - zudem schneller Service, obwohl der Laden brechend voll war. Wir kommen wieder.

Wunderbar , immer wieder gerne... sehr gute Küche und ausnehmend freundlicher und kompetenter Service... wir hatten ein großartiges Geburtstags Dinner und ein leckeres Sylvester Menue im Dez '23.

It was really nice here and all what you need for a nice night and taste ✨

Eine tolle fast schon familiäre Atmosphäre. Service überaus zuvorkommend und freundlich. Das Essen vielfältig, würzig, orientalisch... einfach klasse. Einen Tisch sollte man sich reservieren lassen.

Das essen ist vorzüglich, Personal sehr aufmerksam und eine schöne Atmosphäre im Restaurant

Bin auf Empfehlung hier gelandet - dank der Deutschen Bahn recht spät. So spät, dass die Küche schon nahezu geschlossen hatte und ich mich schon damit abgefunden hatte entweder hungrig zurück zum Hotel zu gehen, oder mir einen Döner zu besorgen. Wurde aber sehr herzlich begrüßt und nach kurzem Austausch mit der Küche entschied man, dass ich noch etwas essen könnte. Da ich den Jungs so wenig Arbeit wie möglich machen wollte hatte ich gesagt, sie können das zubereiten, was am schnellsten und einfachsten ist. Am Ende hatte ich trotzdem das Lamm bekommen - weil man wohl dafür bekannt ist und man mir das bestmögliche Erlebnis bieten wollte … also mehr Gastfreundschaft und Kundenfreundlichkeit geht wohl kaum! Was soll ich sagen, das Lamm war perfekt, auf den Punkt gegart. Ich habe wirklich lange kein so gutes Lammfleisch gegessen. Aber auch der Safran Reis und die viel zu vielen Vorspeisen dazu waren sehr lecker! Am Ende gab es sogar noch ein Dessert als Gruß aus der Küche - das Eis war grandios! Vielen Dank für die Gastfreundschaft und das wirklich hervorragende Essen! Das Essen war so gut, dass ich direkt noch mal ein paar Tage später den Mittagstisch ausprobiert habe. Ebenfalls super lecker und preislich wirklich mehr als fair! Abends zugegeben etwas preisintensiv, je nachdem, was man bestellt, aber Qualitativ auf hohem Niveau!

Essen war sehr lecker, der Service gut, nur leider war es sehr laut, da der Raum insgesamt recht klein und niedrig ist. Nur für unsere Weihnachtsfeier war es sehr schade, dass das Restaurant bereits im 23:00 Uhr schließt und wir dann auch um 23:30 vor die Tür gestellt wurden. Somit fand der schöne Abend ein recht abruptes Ende.

Es ist eine orientalische Ambiente in einem kleinen Restaurant in Hamburg. Das Essen ist vorzüglich- bei den Vorspeisen gab es nichts, zu dem ich hatte sagen können, naja geht so- es war geschmacklich auf weiter Flur großartig und sehr zu empfehlen. Das Ganze hat seinen Preis und geht in Ordnung- passt. Weiter so- von Euch können sich viele Andere mal ne Scheibe abschneiden... so sagt man in Hamburg 😉

War einfach super 😍 richtig lecker, empfehle Abends zu reservieren. Das Ambiente war sehr schön, die Annrichtung der Speisen war einfach himmlisch 😍 komme gerne wieder! Die Auswahl ist überschaulich.
