Hoskar Restaurant — Restaurant in Vienna

It is customary to write a review, shortly after your experience. Here would be different. I will go back with you to the beginning of 2022. When we were living in the pandemic. I was working as a bike driver for food delivery, and my shift already ended at 22:00. I searched in the Maps app for any nearby restaurant. Not only because of hunger, but also because it was very cold, and I needed a place to take some warmth for a while. I read the name of the restaurant, smiled for a moment, and said to myself that I was going to receive the Oscars. I entered the place, and was immediately overcome with a feeling of despair, seeing that the place was about to close. I was about to ask for exception, but the answer surprised me, unexpectedly, "Hoskar" spoke to me in Arabic, and greeted me like his brother who had just finished his work. I spent about an hour there, I went from there thinking about him, and I said to myself that perhaps "Hoskar" the owner of the restaurant was in a good mood to deal with the workers in this way. But perhaps, the state of exception, In fact, it is a rule, i can say after two years of my repeated visits to the restaurant, as Customer, I discovered that "Hoskar" is a good person, deals with the work team in humane manner, rather, it seems that they are really one family working in their home. and therefore I understood why their food tastes good and their atmosphere is...

Hoskar Restaurant delivered one of the most satisfying meals I’ve had in Vienna. Every dish felt like a celebration of Arabic flavors — the grilled meat was beautifully charred and juicy under its layer of rich, spiced sauce; the rice perfectly fluffy; and the sides of tangy pickled vegetables and herbs added brightness to every bite. The yogurt dip tied it all together like a quiet encore.

The lamb and rice dish was exceptional too — tender, fragrant, and generously topped with cashews and raisins for that perfect sweet-savory balance.

Service was warm, attentive, and genuine — you can feel the pride in what they serve. And finishing off with a glass of Kurdish tea was just the right note — aromatic, strong, and soothing.

Hoskar is a place where hospitality meets heart, and every plate tells a story. Highly recommended whether you’re new to authentic Arabic cuisine or already love it.

A Turkish man once told me, "Syrian food is similar to Turkish food, just greasier." Well, that’s not an issue for me—especially when everything is drizzled in olive oil. I wish I could remember the name of the dish I ordered, but all I know is that I saw it on YouTube and had been wanting to try it for a long time. It did not disappoint. This was my first time trying Syrian food, and I have to say, I’m officially a fan. The dish had the perfect balance of taste, texture, and richness. And the best part? The price is more than fair. I’ll definitely be coming back for more! A year later, they’re still my favorite Syrian restaurant. The warmth and generosity of Syrian culture are much...
