Ottimo

Il ristorante offre una selezione di piatti proveniente dalla via della seta, è gestito e operato da persone migranti e il cibo è ottimo.
Ci vengo spesso e prendo sempre le melanzane al sugo e il riso con le lenticchie. Molto consigliato
Si può anche prendere una boccata take away nella porta accanto.
L’unica cosa non prendete il pane se andate al ristorante, è secco e non molto buono come quello del take away.

A vegan menu!

It was nice to find somewhere that had an actual vegan menu, not somewhere I'd have to modify a dish. Nice location in a busy square. The food arrived quickly and was tasty, but nothing special. Service was good.

Meh, nothing compared to Orient Experience in Cannaregio

There are two restaurant like this one, Orient Experience 1 and 2. The first is gorgeous, delicious and has great service.
Orient Experience 2 is nothing like that. Microwaved menu and service absent.
It's OK for a fast lunch, not a dinner during the weekend

Pros: Many vegan options, Card is marked very well, It was served fast

Cons: Expensive, Food was already cold while serving, Staff did nt do good job

Etnico con opzioni vegane

È possibile comporre il piatto con 2, 3 o 5 opzioni. Le scelte vegane sono tante e il piatto è abbondante

Pros: Molte opzioni vegane, Cucine di vari posti orientali

Cons: Acqua a 3 euro

Nice break from pizza&pasta

Nice place you can sit in or take away, they have a spread of different things. I payed about €6 for rice with lentils, and my friend also added falafel and hummus and payed a bit more. They have meat, so make sure you ask which ones are vegan. Recommend to get some veg and healthy food if you’re feeling over doughed from all the pizza and pasta!

Pros: Nice healthy food

Cons: Quite oily , A bit expensive , Has meat

Disappointing microwaved meals

No cook on duty when we visited (8pm on a weekday), just a waiter who spooned food out of big vats onto a plate and microwaved it before serving. Lentils were tasty. Curried vegetables had no curry flavour or sauce - basically just cooked vegetables. Rice was dried out and hard in places. Menus were tatty.

Pros: Decent amount of vegan options

Cons: Nothing fresh, Poor service

Bad customer service

A really bad service! The employees are rude and don’t care about your needs. After we told them we were ready to order, cause they were the ones that asked us, they made us wait 20mns to place it.
The food quickly arrived and was surprisingly good.
After we being served they didn’t care anymore about us. By this time we only wanted to leave cause it was really cold outside and no one appeared to ask us at least if we wanted anything else (deserts or coffee). It came to the point that we had to go inside and ask for the check so we could leave.

Bad experience if you are a solo traveller.

It seems like they are not welcoming solo travellers willing to dinner alone, since if even the restaurant was fairly empty, they refused to set a table to me inside.

Pros: Vegan options

Cons: Not friendly if you willing to have dinner alone

Vegan options

I got the white rice with the mix of vegetables cooked in the oven, they were a little spicy but I liked them. The portions are quite generous and staff is really kind, they have a big range of vegan options.

Experience to forget!

Unfriendly- possibly not LGBT welcoming?- food served lukewarm. I think they prepare dishes in the morning.

Pros: Vegan menu identified

Vegano y diferente en Venecia

Bonito restaurante con mesas en una plaza con buen ambiente. A destacar que el primer menú de la carta sea el vegano, después el vegetariano y por último el de carne. Probamos el menú vegano de cous cous y el antipasto misto con hummus y babaganush. Ambas salsas muy buenas, sobre todo el hummus que estaba espectacular.

Pros: Buenas opciones veganas, Buen precio, Buen ambiente

Cons: El camarero parecía con pocas ganas de trabajar

Glad to find this place here

Between hundreds of pizza, pasta restaurant it was great to find this delicious offering of mixed Middle Eastern foods! Some reviews here mention „frozen veggies“ - However, our experience with with the curry veggies and falafels etc was on point! Highly recommended. Vegan options could be labelled more clearly but there are plenty, just ask, they will be somewhat helpful

Pros: Delicious and varied selection , Good falafel , Many vegan options without compromising

Cons: Take away & sit down restaurant are seperated, Vegan options not labelled , Take away shop menu is too small/ distant to read

Good but not fresh

The taste of the food was good but it came right out the microwave, So it was not fresh. The Bread and falafel was very tough and hard.

Pros: The taste of the food was good

Cons: It was not fresh, it came out of the microwave, The falafel was very dry

Very yummy falafel

Awesome experience with a lot of Middle Eastern vegan items to choose from. I have tried their rice with fried onions and lentil and their citied vegetables, while my partner ordered their spicy kidney beans. We have both tried their hummus and home made falafels, huge and yummy. Definitively recommended.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Very good falafels

Big portions and good food

I liked this place as the vibe was quite cool and they had clearly labelled vegan options.
Also it was on the few places opened after Acqua alta (high tide) and this was cool as well.
Got the three options menu and regretted a little bit as I was extremely stuffed after lunch but everything was super tasty.
I wish I found some cooler options but anyway I was sarisfied.

Pros: Big portions, Good food, Kind staff

Really enjoyed our food here!
