I was very disappointed with the vegan options.
I visited this shop a few years ago when it was called "Vegano Flavors," and it was 100% vegan. I thought it was absolutely delicious. Now the shop is called "Oriental Oven," which I find misleading, and they also offer non-vegan dishes.
The signs outside the shop weren't very informative. I'm not very familiar with Middle Eastern cuisine and would have liked more clarity on what's behind terms like Lahme, Manakish, etc. The advice we received wasn't very helpful either; perhaps we should have asked better questions.
I ordered Vegan Lame – vegan meat, which was labeled "vegan meat, parsley, onions, and vegan cheese." In my mind, I expected a plate or a sizzling cast-iron pan with all those ingredients. What arrived was a dry "pizza" smeared with red paste, but I couldn't find any meat, onions, or parsley. It was simply a pureed paste on dry pizza dough with arugula on top. My companion had the same thing with some sort of green pesto. Many dishes on the menu had different names but the same ingredients, so I couldn't tell the difference.
However, the pictures in the gallery show that they apparently also offer proper, large (vegan) meat platters.
We also ordered a baked sweet potato with date syrup, tahini, and pomegranate. It arrived as a cold, halved sweet potato with syrup, served on a lettuce leaf in a bowl (about the size of a cereal bowl) for €7. I should mention that the dish was waived when we paid, as they forgot to bring us the dip.
Nevertheless, I find the prices far too high for the rather basic dishes we ordered.
I can't imagine the restaurant lives up to its "Oriental Oven" name; I had expected much more.
We were there on a Saturday afternoon. The view is beautiful, but the service was poor. First, they don't have any draft beer, then when you ask for oat milk in your espresso macchiato, you get a lecture about how they "don't even bother" with that stuff because they also have almond milk and who knows what else. After all, this is a bar, not a café! So why no draft beer? Anyway. The Pinot Gris was tasty at €11.50 for a 0.2-liter glass, but a bit steep.
Ich war gestern Abend das 1. Mal in dem Lokal und nicht das letzte Mal. Es war einfach nur super. Mir wurden Speisen und Getränke empfohlen vielen Dank dafür. Personal super freundlich eine hervorragende Küche, auf jeden Fall 5 Sterne wert. 👍👍
Unser absolutes Lieblingsrestaurant im Umkreis: wirklich hübsches Ambiente, sowohl im urigen Gasthaus als auch im wunderschönen Biergarten an warmen Tagen, wahnsinnig tolle Gastgeber, der Service läuft tiptop, auch wenn der Laden brechend voll ist, das Essen ist einfach fantastisch – da gibt es tatsächlich überhaupt nichts (!) zu meckern!!!
Whether you're thirsty or hungry... Route 66 takes care of it and also offers a great atmosphere where you'll want to linger.
Thanks for the friendly service.
We received a very warm welcome during our visit today, and the service was consistently friendly. We were particularly impressed that the owner was personally present. The food was simply outstanding – the best stuffed bifteki I've ever eaten! The stuffed peppers were also incredibly delicious. You can tell that the owner loves her work, and that's reflected in the quality of the food. I highly recommend making a reservation in advance so you don't miss this culinary experience. We left with a "wow" feeling and will definitely be back.
