The gentlemen are always very friendly. The meat is always fresh and homemade :) It's a small place, the food may be a bit more expensive, but it's very delicious. I recommend it :)
Edited after one year. Prices remain the same as last year; the competition has raised their prices, which makes this place even more attractive!
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 visiting Deggendorf from Mainz and chose this restaurant for dinner "blindly" based on the good reviews.
What can I say... The good reviews were confirmed.
We were completely satisfied. The food was delicious, the place was incredibly clean, everything was well-organized with tasteful decor, and the chef was a very personable and down-to-earth person.
Thank you for the unforgettable stay with you.
Mixed impressions: we were greeted warmly and the service was always attentive. The vegetables in the Fajita Vegetario were quite garlicky but tasty. The wraps, however, were too dry. The wild boar goulash was very tender and delicious. The portion size was rather small for €28.00.
The conversation at the high table (at a regulars' table level) was distracting – presumably it would be worse if the restaurant were busier (during our visit at 8:30 pm, only three tables were occupied). Therefore, we decided against ordering the planned cocktail.
A doner kebab costs almost 9 euros, so it's worth spending a few euros more and getting something really great to eat. It's a really great place; there's nothing there that doesn't taste good.
The owner is a real bloke too.
We sat in the basement with a small group and were served by a very friendly and attentive waiter.
The food was very good. Excellent value for money.
We had reserved in advance, so there was no wait.
I ate there today, and overall, everything was really good, except for the drink. I ordered ginger tea, but they served me an iced tea instead. I clearly told her that I'm pre-diabetic and therefore can't drink anything too sweet. They still brought me the iced tea. Is my health less important than a drink?
We were there with a team of almost 20 people. We had reserved a large table a month in advance. But the restaurant owner messed up our reservation! We arrived on time to find that the large table was already occupied. We had to wait outside for half an hour in the winter. Meanwhile, the restaurant tried to find tables for us. Some of us even had to wait longer before we got a seat. It was supposed to be a nice team dinner after work. Unfortunately, that's how it started. The restaurant desperately needs to improve its organization. The service also left much to be desired; it took ages for us to get the menu and our food. It was total chaos…
