Schatt al-Arab Restaurant in Offenbach am Main

Very good. The price is okay; we go there often.

food was great, but we cannot pay by card, only cash or paypal (??). they didnt annouced it upfront, so it was quite tricky situation

I don't even know where to begin, because I'm at a loss for words. For €16.33, I ordered a Cheeseburger XL. I repeat: XL! At that price and with that name, I expect a large, high-quality burger bun with a juicy patty, plenty of cheese, fresh onions, crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, pickles, and a matching sauce. What I received, however, is an absolute outrage and a slap in the face to every guest and the entire restaurant industry! How can it be that a patty with a maximum thickness of 8 mm is sold as meat here? The bread was a cheap, standard product from a discount store! The tomato was less than half a slice, there were no pickles or onions, and the "lettuce" was chopped into tiny, almost transparent pieces. And as if that wasn't absurd enough: instead of cheese, there was a tiny amount of about 2 ml of an indefinable sauce! But the worst part is yet to come: There wasn't even any cheese on the cheeseburger! Excuse me? Then what am I paying for? Are you trying to fool your customers? This is outrageous and borders on deception! Seriously, this should be reported! Who gives you the right to sell such a "burger"? I've eaten at many bad burger joints, but you take the cake. It's truly questionable how you even got a license to operate a restaurant. Where do you source your substandard meat? How brazen and unscrupulous do you have to be to sell a cheeseburger without cheese? And now the crux of the matter: This "XL" is nothing more than a scam. The burger was tiny and almost without any toppings, as already described. It has absolutely nothing to do with XL! It's unbelievable that such a place even exists and that customers are tricked into spending a single cent here. I only took two bites to find out what the meat tastes like. But after those two bites, the burger had to go in the trash—out of sheer self-respect and fear of food poisoning. It was simply unacceptable to continue eating that "burger." From the bottom of my heart, I pray that I don't get food poisoning because of those two bites. Just thinking about the conditions in your kitchen makes me sick! To everyone reading this: You should steer clear of this place—and for good reason! What's served here has nothing to do with good food. It's not just about the lousy burger, which is simply a disgrace, but about the outrageous deception that's systematically practiced here. You pay for a supposedly high-quality product and receive nothing more than an inferior, carelessly cobbled-together something. This kind of service and quality is not only disrespectful, but also hazardous to your health. A kitchen that can't even correctly assemble the basic ingredients of a cheeseburger raises serious questions about hygiene and the ingredients used. I've eaten at over 280 different burger joints and have never experienced anything like this. Anyone who values ​​their money and their health should steer clear of this restaurant. A disgrace for the restaurant industry and a risk to every customer!

My husband and family and I went there a few weeks ago. The staff was very friendly and the food was delicious. It's a shame it's closed.

I always enjoyed coming here. It's past its prime. It's no longer worth it.
