We went there for the all-you-can-eat tapas, but unfortunately, it was very disappointing. None of the tapas were particularly tasty – most were lacking salt and spices, and often arrived only lukewarm.
Service:
The owner's behavior was clearly discriminatory. In Turkish, he instructed his employee to put less meat in my doner kebab – presumably assuming I wouldn't understand. Such disrespectful behavior is completely unacceptable.
Food:
The turkey was bland and dry.
The bread seemed stale and was correspondingly tough.
The yogurt and garlic sauces were okay, but nothing special.
Conclusion:
In terms of taste, this place can't hold a candle to the competition in Augsburg (Pamukkale, Onur, Lezzet, Masters of Kebab, or Edessa are leagues better). In addition, the owner stands out for his rudeness and discriminatory behavior towards non-Turkish people – apparently, simply looking "non-Turkish" is enough to be treated condescendingly. One shudders to think what he says about people who don't understand what's being said.
Overall, absolutely 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.
Very kind staff and the food was great! They offer a variety of toppings for the different items and also a good selection of drinks. Mexican approved!
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.
