What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Shtroudl offers a charming Middle Eastern atmosphere in Haifa's German Colony, with many guests praising unique dishes like cheese appetizers and specific Arab cuisine options. However, some diners found the food to be average or overpriced, and the service and ambiance did not always meet expectations.
"You must try this place! Outstanding food and service. The cheese appetizer is simply the best thing I’ve eaten on this trip! The local schwarma is wonderful with a lot of veal and delicious sauces. Our server was very helpful in explaining the dishes and making recommendations based on our preferences. Our kids loved the kids menu with pizza and chicken schnitzel. Also grilled chicken breast for our more health conscious daughter."

"Great middle eastern atmosphere in the German village area. Best location in the city. the hummus was good unfortunately I didn’t try other things from the menu because of the short time. The food looks good just a bit overpriced. I like the design of the restaurant, beautiful and colorful."
Niv Shimoni
"Food was OK, wouldn’t really say there’s anything that particularly stood out. Would consider the price relatively dear for the food served. Ordered a shishbarak (the dumplings with the white sauce, which comes with the yellow rice. The pine nuts were a really great addition) and the Arias (on the skewers)
Located in the German Colony, ambience was really nice though"
