Moudi — Restaurant in Zurich

Moudi is a gem of a restaurant with Lebanese cuisine situated in quite location close to Stockerstrasse in Zurich.It has lovely vibe and was crowded when I went in on Saturday night. I called for booking at Laura who answered the phone was sweet and said the restaurant is fully booked and busy but she will put me on the waiting list and I can possible sit on the bar till I find a decent table.As I walked in the place was packed to the rafter but Laura was super efficient and managed a place on the bar which was comfortable. People seems to have great time there and waiter were attentive. I was intrigued by the names of cocktails on a blackboard. Moscow Mule has modified versions like Munich Mule and Beirut mule!!! I ordered Beirut Mule being in Lebanese restaurant and it did not disappoint with it’s Vodka based connotations. Bartenders were chirpy and attentive.Laura was managing the whole crowd and moving swiftly from table to table.She took my order of Sujuk a mezze with Sausages in pomegranate juice, hummus as starter to go with my drink.For main course I ordered Lamb chops in mash potato. Now this a fusion which makes sense for Swiss taste. I am used to Lamb chops on it’s own or maybe with potato fries and tahini paste.But these combination tasted very good, chops were excellent.Overall very satisfying experience.The place is vibrant.Laura and her team gives very good service different from many other restaurants.I am going to come...

She responded annoyed asking why didn’t I order my food before. I told her I did and I was informed after 30 minutes they were out. I asked her to agree on an arrangement and she said no discounts, but they would bring me the food asap. Right after, another waiter comes with something I did not order to apologize, probably a wrong order that they could not place on any other table. Horrible experience, ridiculous waiting time and the food is...

So average I wouldn’t return. I found the food mediocre and lacking in creativity. Some of the food came quite dry. Some of it didn’t even come … when I mentioned to the waitress we were missing some items she gaslighted me insisting this was exactly what our party of six had ordered. But then five min later when I asked her where a certain item was she decided the kitchen had run out off this item and forgot to relay the information. The waitress was quite haphazard in her conduct, trying to wipe the table down and balance a tray full of glasses and bottles that she nearly spilled all of this over our pregnant friend. And then ahead of the surprise cake she brought out all the cake plates and cutlery, clearly giving the surprise cake away. I don’t understand how this restaurant has such high reviews, the food is utterly average and the...
