Pizza Presto - Genève

Nur wenige Schritte von unserem Hotel Les Nations weg, daher unsere erste Wahl nach einem langen Tag. Der Name führte uns etwas im die Irre, denn genaugenommen handelt es sich nicht um eine Pizzeria, sondern um ein orientalisches Lokal. Das auch Pizza macht. Solides Essen, nicht spektakulär, aber gut und bezahlbar. Freundlicher und engagierter Service.

The name of the restaurant is a little bit misleading! It has nothing in common with Italian cusine. Quite tasty and not so expensive Arabic fast food. Just next to Ibis Nations, if you don't want to go far from the hotel.

The place looks like the typical north African diner. The food is good and there is a lot more offer than pizza. Good and simple food, nice tea.

Conveniently located between UN and Gare Cornavan, the Pizza waa okay (my son tried once) but the specialty here that I keep on having is the Tajine and Couscous. The lamb and chicken tajine were tender, well seasoned and served with rice. Learnt to eat...them with the dried plum n abricot and the taste danced well together. Try the special mix couscous to get all dew kinds of meats n merguez (fresh grill sausage). Have the mint tea (sweet is the default here) to complete the experience. Worth mentioning is the warm bread you can nibble before your order arrives. Ask for loyalty card that gives you free sandwich after 10 orders/ visita. This place serves halal food, which may be a relevant info for some.

Service: This is a family run little place. The lady who took our orders was very friendly and prompt, but she can speak very little English. She is fluent in French and we can't speak french at all. We were not sure what we ordered until...we got the food. Food: Good quality grilled chicken, beef and lamb. I had the mixed grill and the portion size was very generous. It was reasonable value for money. They also serve complimentary bread which was warm. Atmosphere: The restaurant is small, has basic table and chairs. It is clean. Liked best: Quality of food, food serving time Liked least: Half of the menu tagines, couscous and pizza were not available. That too on a Friday night. Nobody could speak English properly.
