The doner kebab was delicious, and we loved the sauces. Lahmacun doner kebab is simply the best. You always get a good portion of meat. It's prepared quickly, and the meat isn't raw. The staff are nice and friendly. The prices are completely reasonable. Highly recommended :))
I visited for the first time with a friend of mine. We had quiet the large order: antipasti, drinks, and pasta (obviously).
However I accidentally ordered pasta with pork. I ordered the Pasta La Lupa. There was no display of meat, no info, no special marking or icons. And apparently (as I found out later) the Italian word Amateiciana means pork. Unfortunately while there was one German and one Englisch translation, the word Amatriciana was not translated. I thought it was cheese. Now I could have asked, but seeing there is no mark or info about meat I thought its okay. Long story short: the food came, I ate, found meat in my mouth, that I couldn't ear for religious reasons.
When I told the waitress, she was kind and wanted to make sure I don't feel uncomfortable. And offered to give me a new pasta. I assume she thought just like me that it shouldn't be a problem since it was an honest mistake and not entirely my fault as there was no proper display or translation/description of the ingredients. However she returned back a minute later with my old plate (as to suggest eat it or pay for a new one) and said the owner reported back to me that I have to pay if I want another pasta. He showed no empathy or just simpel kindness.
I was shocked over the situation, no sympathy, no sensitivity for the situation. No respect for special circumstance. It was grotesque, it has been a while since I felt that way (last time as a child in east berlin when people weren't used muslims lol). And shocked over the greedeness of the owner saving coins. For a pasta that may be costs 3-4€ in the making. Since I was hungry I ordered another pasta which he made me pay for.
I would have appreciated some level of "Kulanz" as we say in German. An honest mistake that is not even entirely the customers fault, as there was no sufficient display of information. It wasn't about taste, or me being picky. I genuinely couldn't eat it and I felt like I had to explain myself a lot.
No alternative either - like a dessert for the confusion or an espresso as a "do good". Nothing.
I only say this because I had a cold soup at a Spanish place the weekend before which had bacon in it and which I only found out after it arrived. The cook came personally and gave me another soup (no additionally charges). Due to the same mistake (no proper information). Here is some display of goodwill and kindness shown by the owner.
I now that while restaurant culture is changing in Berlin and customer is no longer "king" (which I don't expect in this scenario) there should be some level of courtesy left to offer to customers. Especially if you want the customer to come back - was it really worth it being greedy?! ... simply rude.
As for the pasta itself - it was okay, simply okay. But not worth the hype. Anyone with decent cooking skills could have prepared the same. Definitely not worth 16 eur for simple pasta. The second pasta almost had no taste/ flavour, specifically the carbonara sauce (without meat this time).
Super good great service and amazing atmosphere.!! Brought me back all the good memories from Korean definitely a soul food place. Korean staff and Korean music. Flavor is authentic and reasonable price compared to other places in Hamburg. Would definitely come back again! ☺️ 감사합니다 Danke!
Great place if you are craving for some indian food. They have a mix of all types of food including dosa, chole bature, north Indian meals and good drinks too.
A visit to this small but exquisite restaurant is a truly special experience. Authentic Korean dishes at reasonable prices, served by a very attentive waitress! Delicious food in a rustic setting. No frills, just simply good food. 100% recommended.
1st update:
Still first-class. Please keep up the good work!
Im gesamten sind wir als Familie zufrieden und gerne dort.
Aber Verpackung zu berechnen für Speisen die nicht fertig gegessen werden konnten ist schon sehr unverschämt. 3,50€ für Gorgonzola als extra Zutat auch krass. Die Preise wurden sehr stark erhöht und die Qualität hat etwas nachgelassen.
Jeder muss schauen das es passt, so auch der Gast der zukünftig kein Trinkgeld gibt.
