Al Howara - Velbert

Al howara has English menus, but we did not know until we had ordered the sampler for large service, good eating and beautiful ambiente.

Eating is great to take him the service decent, but seriously, not credit cards?

All the appetizers were filled with yogurt, chili was not hot at all, it was yogurt with a prise cold fish was fried in the oil instead grilled when I was.

After finding the Lola opposite didn't take credit card, I wandered in here and checked luckily they did, so they became my choice of restaurant for that night. The two waitresses weren't English speaking but I got onto their Wifi and managed to translate some of the menu, ordering bream and an AltBier. The fish was fairly huge on the plate grilled whole with several pieces of lemon, accompanied with rice and veg. Given the fish was unfilleted (still with bones and head) it was a slight battle to separate the flesh from bones and head, but the fish was strong and tender, covered in crispy skin great to eat! The veg amounted to peppers, courgettes and onions quite soft. I stayed for another beer but didn't hang around too long; I was seated at a single table near the passage to the toilets and I kept feeling a draught blowing in from there, so didn't find it a comfortable place to stay. Nonetheless, I'd happily return there for another meal when in the area.

Great and abundant Lebanese food, the dessert was not as good as i can get. in other places, but the rest of the meal was really good. Very nice staff and welcome, be advised no credit card accepted, only cash or german debit card.
