Today I ordered a doner kebab with extra meat, but received one with less. The owner, as brazen as he is, secretly ordered his employee to put less meat in my doner. I know this because I understand Turkish, which the owner hadn't anticipated; that's what makes it so reprehensible. It's discrimination and fraud against people who can't defend themselves due to language barriers. For me, a doner kebab shop has always been a place where everyone is welcomed warmly and where their day is brightened. Not here... and that's despite a competitor opening across the street. Definitely not recommended!
I can recommend the place but the food less so because if you order a Swiss sausage salad you get dried out cheese and you have to pay a lot of money for that.
Today, on the recommendation of friends, we ordered from Omar's for the first time (takeout due to COVID-19). We are absolutely thrilled! The dishes are prepared to a high standard, are authentic, and very deliciously seasoned – like an experienced Afghan grandmother would make :) The lamb was truly tender and well-cooked, perfectly paired with saffron rice, orange peel, and pistachios. My boyfriend is a fan of the Ashak dumplings, and I'm now a fan of Bolani dumplings. I will definitely order them again next time. The owner is very friendly. He gave us good advice and gave us a salad and dessert on top. Great food! A great addition to Augsburg.
Addendum: I originally gave it 5 stars. Unfortunately, I later discovered that the prices were higher than stated on the menu. Each dish was simply rounded up. This shouldn't happen, so unfortunately, it's deducting two stars. (We also tipped.)
The ambiance at John Farmer's is rather dated – a matter of taste, but not my personal favorite.
The service is adequate, although it usually takes quite a while for the food to arrive. On the plus side, there's parking right in the back.
The food, however, is all the more delicious: the meat is very tasty, and the side dishes are also excellent.
Overall, John Farmer's clearly scores points for the quality of its food.
O sole mio is currently the best Italian restaurant in Augsburg and the surrounding area. The pizzas are unparalleled. The service is friendly and fast. Anyone who finds fault here will find something to complain about anywhere.
