• Never again

I went to Parsifal with modest expectations. The restauarnt is located very central from Taksim, and I really liked the decoration, which is cosy. Still, I find the food overpriced for Istanbul. A Falafel Dürum with a small side salad and French fries cost approx. 16 Lira. This is too much for the low quality of the dishes. The salad came without any dressing, so I used the mustard they served with my fries (I still wonder who eats fries with mustard). The Dürüm came without the Hummus it was described with on the menu. When I asked for it, I got a portion of Hummus - the most tasteless hummus I have ever eaten. But most disappointing was the service. Normally, you would expect people in veg* places to be welcoming and relaxed. The waiters were sitting outside the restaurant when I approached, and did not respond my greeting. In fact, they did not talk at all - I have never felt so uncomfortable in a restaurant before. They gave me the feeling that I was a burden which disrupted them from their break. The waiter who served me almost did not say anything at all - only wwhen I asked him for some more hummus, he said "OK". Plus: Before I almost finished, I found the famous "Hair in the soup". I would not recommend visiting this overpriced, bland and unfriendly restaurant.
