Tried the shish kebabs with rice as per the chefs recommendation and found it to be quite tasty. Ambience was alright but the service was mediocre at best. I walked in as their first customer of the day and was literally ignored for 5 to 10 minutes by the chef and the waiter who continued chatting before being seated and given a menu.

So I and my wife were visiting Oslo this week when we decided to try some Iraqi food, since we are originally from Iraq and wanted to try some of our food as we heard that there are so (or too) many of us residing in Oslo! We entered the restaurant to find ourselves standing like lemons in the middle of the restaurant with three tables occupied, with one of which the chef was enjoying his dinner while we stared at him and 2 ladies sat at the same table who later turned out to be the owners of this establishment. The chef finally decided to leave his food alone and show us to our tables while grabbing the menus and literally asking us to carry them to our tables . We ordered soup, chips and humus to start with and 2 main dishes and Arbil famous Yoghurt drink. The soup took ages and was served cold, really cold. The lady came and reheated it for us but took ages to come back but it was really delicious I must admit. The humus never showed up and I asked to cancel it anyway by the time the mains had turned up with the chips. The meat was dry and the bill was crazy too
