A l'Orientale Couscous — Restaurant in Strasbourg

The place is nice and the person serving people there is friendly. The reason for 3 stars though is that, I ordered Chicken Couscous and sadly the chicken was too bad to the limit that for me it was not edible. The chicken's flavor was tasting like the chicken that are not perfectly cleaned before cooking, or it was in their fridge for too long that its no longer fresh, I don't know! So, I had to leave it aside.

Thought, the guy explained to us that the quality of the chicken in the area isn't so good, thats why not many people prefer to order chicken. He said he could change it to me if I would tell him from the beginning.

Nevertheless, the Couscous with the vegetables was nice, we also got Merguez and meat balls and they were ok! The tea...

We have been there in family with a little baby on Saturday evening. The food and service were bad ; there are few stairs to climb up from the street to get in the restaurant, the opening Door is a bit heavy to open, we didn’t get any Help from the Restaurant personals neither for getting in not by leaving 😢

We ordered a ROYAL MENU with others; in Royal menu there was only a little brochettes, a mini Marguez and a little Boulette only (with a price 27€)!!

For drinks : ordered a limonade additionally, it wasn’t explained that is in a Bottle (not fresh and homemade at all), the service man come and open the Bottle without asking us, if we wanted it or not!!!

NEVER EVER AGAIN TO...

My wife and me went in February from south Germany to try the full garnished couscous in that place, which is normally a pretty big dish for arround 40 euro since we enjoy eating together. All what we got from the owner is: i sell only a dish per person. And he insisted that he won't sell otherwise. That smartie seems to ignore the french: Article L121-11 du code de consommation. Funny how he wasn't happy with 40 euro though, when one dish costed arround 15 euro. Not good in maths maybe? Doesn't look promising for your business...
