    One of the best place to eat out at Bergen, Norway! The place is not very spacious, but nicely decorated. The foods are too delicious, if you want to have some great kebabs just go straight to baban! I prefer their item Qåzi from the menu, which is so filling and tasty. You must have enough space in your stomach to finish the platters. They serve a complimentary item (lentil soup) at the beginning which is very tasty and you may feel like it would be great if you could have it few more times!! Highly recommended.

    After several days of expensive, bad pizza driving across Vestland, we finally found this restaurant in Bergen. We had some of the best kebabs I’ve had in my life and for a great value. The owners are very nice, hardworking people and the restaurant is clean and cozy. The mixed grill with rice was enough for me and my wife to share, and for around 27 NR, it was the best value for quality we found in Norway after a week.

    If you're looking for a tasty meal in Bergen. Don't think twice, just head straight to Baban! The set I ordered was soooo good, it came with big bread, lentil soup and grilled chicken with rice and salad. Juicy meat, perfectly cooked rice. They know what they're doing, guys 😁 Definitely top 3 restaurant in town for me!

    The chicken and salmon on skewers were very tender and juicy. Mixing them with the condiments, they were delicious. The starter lintel soup was tasty and a fantastic way to start the meal. Even if one does not read Norwegian, just look at the picture menu, mix and match. The waiter is very helpful. We were so happy to have discovered this restaurant on Google Map. We highly recommend this restaurant.

    Well deserved 5 stars. Tasty food, generous dishes, very nice service, what do you want more!? I enjoyed visiting Bergen with the family and we enjoyed Baban’s offer. They welcome you with a lentil soup while you check the menu and wait for your order. My favourite was the Lamb Shank-called Qozi in their menu- a delight! See the first picture. A very good discovery thanks to Google Map community reviewers, you are awesome, keep it genuine! Keep it fair! You are awesome!

    Heyyyy!!! I bumped into the place by chance and wanted to give it try. Guess what? Amazingly tasty 😋. I have tried meat shesh kebab with rice and mixed of salads 🥗. It's been served in no time, along with hospitality dishes such as lentil soap and Iraqi bread ! Wow! Kebab was great, as we (Iraqi's) love to have lamb kebab cooked with the fat of the lamb in order to intensify the taste and smell, and this is how it's been cooked here🤤🤤. Staff were super helpful, generous and friendly, well done, and keep it up. Best Regards, Ihab 🇮🇶 🇳🇴

    We were a group of eight and super hungry in Bergen. We thought finding a Halal place would be tough, but we found this spot on the map with good ratings. We got excited seeing the menu, and they served us super fast—in just 10 minutes! The kebabs were yummy, but the Ayran was the best I’ve ever had in Europe. The folks working there were nice, and even the bathrooms were clean. Totally recommend it!

    This little restaurant was a great find. We get complimentary lentil soups to start, and mixed grill with rice. They also have a machine which serves sour milk.

    The best food in Bergen without a doubt! Lentil soup as a starter was amazing, bread was fresh and warm. To top it up they even offer Turkish tea complimentary. Highly recommend!

    This restaurant should be on the top list of restaurants in Norway. The food was very delicious and their complimentary lentils soup was beyond tasty. To top it off, prices are very low for the quality they offer

    The food here was spectacular. Pitas were huge and fresh from oven, service here was fast, and, for Norway, the price was quite reasonable. Would definitely recommend and go back.

    It is a nice place for dinner.With the pandemic, its either you book a table, or dine in or take way. Only few tables around so the management is trying to organise the set up. Like there is a space in every table here. Customers must sanitize their hands ,then register there name on a list to know that they have been there on that restaurant.then it is a one table apart. Lovely dinner, just have to wait a little longer than I expected.They also need to share their time for the customers who are taking out their order. So far the foods are good,I covers the whole plate, and its a lot. It is worth it to pay and you definitely come here really starving 😀to fully stuffed in your stomach. Enjoy eating and keep your distance from other customers.

    Excellent food. Good price. Shish kebab is out of this world. Lamb could use a little bit more salt compared to Shish.

    An Iraqi restaurant with a high quality food that is not expensive at all. We got free lentil soup, fresh bread and a glass of tea with our food

  • 1/5 Hosein Y. 5 months ago on Google
    Disappointed with the service most of times. Staff members are inattentive and disorganized, especially during busy hours. A more responsible and courteous approach is needed for an improved customer experience. I never recommend this restaurant. I suggest looking for better restaurants, as there are undoubtedly higher-quality options in this area of Bergen.

    Delicious Kurdish cuisine at very reasonable rates. Honestly the food is really... really delicious, genuine Kurdish style grills at a very reasonable prices honestly it is a great value for money. The shop owner is very kind and welcoming, unfortunately at the time of my visit the restaurant haven't yet printed an English menu but the owner and staff were really helpful and supportive in explaining the menu for me. For sure I will visit this place again. The place can be crowdy and busy so you have to harry up 😉.

    Everything was perfect during my 1st visit. Loved the food especially the lentil soup. Went there for the 2nd time. Unfortunately the lentil soup was not there (Maybe finished). Food was great.

    I had the pleasure of dining at the Perfect Restaurant, and it truly lived up to its name. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for an exceptional experience. The ambience was sophisticated yet welcoming, with tasteful decor and soft lighting that set the perfect mood for a memorable meal. The attentive and friendly staff made me feel like a valued guest from the start, providing top-notch service throughout the evening. Now, let's talk about the food. Each dish that graced my table was a masterpiece. From the appetizers to the main course and dessert, the flavors were exquisite, and the presentation was artful. The chef's creativity and attention to detail were evident in every bite. The menu offered a diverse selection of dishes, catering to various tastes and dietary preferences. Whether you're a meat lover, a vegetarian, or a seafood enthusiast, there's something delightful for everyone. The wine pairing suggested by the sommelier complemented the flavors perfectly, enhancing the overall dining experience. Price-wise, while the Perfect Restaurant falls on the higher end, the quality of the food, service, and overall experience made it worth every penny. In conclusion, the Perfect Restaurant is an absolute gem that exceeds all expectations. If you're looking for an unforgettable culinary journey, this is the place to be. I can't recommend it highly enough and can't wait to return for another exceptional dining adventure

    This has been my favourite food experience in Bergen so far. Everything from the food, costumer service and atmosphere was just a really nice break from the buzzing city. The food is definitively on the quality side - it is made directly on a grill, and the ambient lights along with the acoustic music just created a very wholesome experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience!

    Halal foods!!! kebabs are so so tasty that I ate there 3 times in one single week and still forgot to take any photos. Because the smell is so good I could not wait to take photo! Still missing the kebabs. And the price is reasonable. The staff are super friendly. They offered something complementary every single time. It felt so warm! I wish them all the best. If I ever go to Bergen again, this will be my lunch and dinner place.
