We've been ordering regularly for years and are always satisfied. The sushi is of excellent quality and delivery is fast. They're always friendly and courteous over the phone, too.
This restaurant was such a great find! The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious. It draws a wonderfully diverse crowd, which adds to the lively vibe. Whether a little family dinner, a romantic date night, or just want to enjoy some wine and good conversation with a friend (like I did), it's the perfect spot.
We were once again at Shikara, Bahrenfeld with our family. It’s our favourite restaurant in Hamburg. The food and service are excellent. All the staff are so friendly and efficient. Very good value for money. Sue
The gluten-free pizza was delicious, but the service was subpar.
The first thing the waiter brought me was the tea I ordered. With tea there was a biscuit on the spoon on the plate ;))
No, it's not gluten-free. Why would she have brought it to me with the gluten-free pizza? She wouldn't have known that I wanted "everything" gluten-free! Ohhh. The first doubts arose. I mean, the pizza costs an extra charge if it's gluten-free - why do I order it when it's not necessary and I can apparently tolerate foods containing gluten (i.e. no pizza, yes biscuits?)???
I asked her to take away the biscuit and replace the spoon. She came back with the same saucer, unfortunately also with the same spoon with the crumbs still on it.
I don't know of any restaurant that works like this. In my opinion, returning a spoon with gluten-containing crumbs to the guest after taking it out does not demonstrate expertise and, in my opinion, does not represent quality of service on this point.
In contrast to mama Blankenese, where I received competent and friendly advice about being gluten-free and ate delicious pasta, my visit to mama in Lehmweg was disappointing.
I ordered two burgers from here or had them delivered. I've never had such bad burgers as here. I don't know what happened, but the burger buns were definitely from the day before, the chicken was dry as hell and the other burger wasn't fresh anymore. In any case, if that's their standard, they shouldn't call this place a burger lounge, especially the cheeky way they deliver something like that. This is definitely the last time I'll order anything from there!!!
Absolutely amazing home-made Italian food!
Variety of dishes both classics from around Italy, and specials.
Cozy outside garden seating.
Don't have pictures as the food was too tasty to ignore.
We ate with 6 people, a table was booked. It wasn't set yet, we could sit down somewhere. We had 2 x currywurst, which were OK. 2 x grill plates with salad, the salad was a dry side dish not dressed, meat was hard and the minced steak was half a burnt patty, bread was a burnt wheat bread, all for 21.50. 1 pork schnitzel and 1 x chicken schnitzel were ready-made products, salad like on a grill plate, fries were OK, but were just normal fries. Service and drinks ok
My visit does not lead to a recommendation.
Positive: The dishes were OK (good). Somewhat lightly seasoned and a good standard of sophistication. The drinks weren't OK. The dispensing system should be checked. (Two independent beer brands had the same strong metallic taste.) When asked about this, the waitress didn't seem receptive to the feedback.
Even otherwise, the service seemed more like a stubborn standard procedure. (Eat ready, collect plates, standard question "It was tasty, yes? - would like another espresso"... there were still half glasses of drinks there.)
Ambiance:
The place looked like it had been cleared. 2/3 of the restaurant was literally unlit and the tables were moved to the side.
Since the restaurant often acts as an event location, this is understandable - but in my opinion you should decide between daily business and an event and then rearrange in between.
From what it looked like when we visited, it seemed like it was neither.
At the same time, consultations for event guests take place. Sure, it has to be, but then I would recommend it further back and further away from the à la cart guests.
It was cold in the restaurant - no wonder, it was a rainy day outside with 15°C and the door was wide open the whole time. The staff obviously has no antennae for this.
toilet for men; Dirty. The floor in front of the urinal (approx. 2m long metal channel) was literally sticky. Incomprehensible on a Wednesday evening around 7:30 p.m. and an estimated 12 guests in the restaurant.
