Chez Massouh — Restaurant in Botkyrka kommun

We ordered the tabbouleh, a whole fried fish, and a whole grilled fish. I think the person who took our order was the owner of the restaurant. He was extremely helpful because we had such limited knowledge about a lot of the items on the menu. I ordered the fried fish and my boyfriend tried to order one of the rice dishes, which I think is intended to be a side dish because the owner tried offering to switch out the pommes that come with my fish for the rice. So instead, my boyfriend tried to order the baked fish, but the owner said that it takes a long time to cook (about 50 minutes if I remember correctly). The owner offered to give us a grilled fish instead which I'm not sure is actually on the menu, so we just went with his suggestion.

I was a bit apprehensive because the owner wasn't really taking our order as we originally wanted, but I think he was trying to be helpful because we didn't look like his normal customers (an Asian American and an English-speaking Swede). But the food was amazing and we absolutely demolished our plates. One of the servers even offered to get me gloves because of how I was digging into the fried fish with my hands! Aside from the fish plates and tabbouleh, they also gave us iced almonds to snack on and some really good hummus while waiting for our food.

I suppose there wasnt really much of an atmosphere (possibly Syrian music from YouTube, some kids running around, and one of the other customers was singing something from his home country which may have also been Syria REALLY loudly), but that's completely fine with me because the food was great.

Also, I think the owner prefers speaking English rather than Swedish, just...

Watch out! We two took a dish for two people. But noticed afterwards they took pay for four people. This place is peppering the bill, completely unacceptable.

The food was ok at best but too sour. There where four sauces on picture in menu, we got three. It's not a restaurant in the common sense either, but more like for big company, family gatherings etc. So it's just a big upper floor with tons of chairs and tables.

You cannot pay with card, only cash/swish. Which is not very serious. And they don't have alcohol rights either.

So no, we will definitely not return again despite often being...

My visit to this restaurant was disappointing. The music was too loud, making the atmosphere unwelcoming. When I asked for recommendations with a good balance of vegetables and meat, I was only offered two options. Additionally, the staff seemed uninterested in providing good service. Overall, the experience was pretty bad. I left with a headache due to...
