Sindbad - Bucharest

The food was very poor-average. We had no other choice as we were only looking for halal food and the other halal one nearby was saray but they were serving ‘fake’ halal food as told by staff. The beef boti kebab was very dry and had a rubbery texture. The kebab had a very weird flavour. The rice was decent but I have had better. In conclusion would not recommend this or Saray if you are looking for halal food as they are both dodgy and sindbad isn’t good. Better of sticking to cheese pizza and seafood.

Having recently been in Turkey and Israel (where we also ate with some Druzi , this was a pleasant surprise to find in Bucharest (especially as we were constantly disappointed by the Romanian traditional foods . Falafel that doesn't just taste of parsley, instead has great flavor of its own. Fresh-made airan with some mint in it. (I needed the airan to help with the muhammara which was spicier than I was expecting. Friendly and prompt service, fluent in English, no problem taking my credit card. Enjoyed the salad, sausage, homos with meat, falafel, grilled halumi, but the muhamara was too spicy for us, so can't judge that one. Nice decor. Loved the lanterns.

My husband and I are vegan and found excellent choices at this restaurant. The food is fresh and tasty, with a homemade feel, prepared by a real Lebanese chef. Very nice waitress and appealing decor inside.

Amazing food and service! Will be back, very helpful staff, atmosphere is beautiful and warm. Welcome

The food is okay, but the service is not good. The waiter or the owner (I'm not sure) is not kind at all, does not make you feel comfortable. At the end of the meal we paid the bill with card. The owner said (not in a nice way) that the tip could not be paid with the card. We had little money and since the service was not the best, we had decided not to leave the tip. We went and the waiter, saw that we had not left the tip, followed us in the street that we HAD to leave the tip. I explained to him that we live here in Bucharest and that tip is not obligatory, he always cried that we had to leave the tip, I finally gave up and gave him the little money I had, but regretted it immediately. Rude and illegal to give a tip. He did the same with a few customers sitting next to us. I wouldn't recommend it.
