Mantu with vegetable filling, lentil sauce and yogurt

Central to the menu are dishes like "mantu," described as delicious dumplings filled with vegetables and served with a lentil sauce and yogurt. The restaurant's proprietor, Hassan Mohamadi, brings a sophisticated background to his venture, having trained as a barista and sommelier at the Babenberger Hof in Baden.

“

the wine is self-brought, on the menu are with Grüner Veltliner, Muskateller, Gemischter Satz (at least Fritz Wieninger), Zweigelt, Blaufränkisch and "Cuvée", each without further information, only comparatively local options to choose from, "they are not ordered so often at the moment", as Hassan notes.

Mohamadi's expertise is evident in his service, such as the elegant presentation of a Riesling wine. While the restaurant's own wine list features primarily local options, including Grüner Veltliner and Zweigelt, guests have the option to bring their own wine. For a modest fee of 2.80 euros per person, patrons can enjoy their personal selections with their meals. Mohamadi humorously notes that despite his sommelier training, he always spat out the wine during his studies, clarifying he doesn't drink it excessively.

although he completed the sommelier course, he always spat out, just so that no misunderstandings arise here.
