MAORI - Oberengstringen

You only have a vegan main dish (pad thai) and two starters. And it is a little far in a somewhat bleak industrial area with limited public transport, so it is especially for people with cars (but parking is a bit a problem). Also the large outdoor seats are quite loud near a busy street. Unfortunately there are no desserts, even their sorbets are allegedly not vegan. Updated by previous review on 2021-07-11

It's the first time I leave a restaurant for the service. the table we sat was in the middle of the way, under a tent with another big group that cried. I couldn't hear my wife talking and I was uncomfortable, so I asked one of the waiters by if we could sit somewhere else. he looked around and said no. my wife then asked if we could sit in. He told us we could sit in the house, but the service would be slower. we said it's good, we're on a date and have a lot of time. we went in and ask the same waiter where we could sit. He told us we could sit anywhere we wanted. we sat and a few minutes later a waiter who took our order came and began to enter us. we can't move without saying anything. we apologised and explained that we asked the other waiter and told us it was good. he came back and called us. we tried to explain and didn't really understand why he was so upset. if we weren't allowed to stay inside, we wouldn't care to go back to our place. but we had no opportunity to speak. at last, since the night went for us. I asked him if we could cancel this. I would pay for our drinks that have already been made and we would go. he snob us and went, so I left the money with the drinks untouched on the table. we went to another restaurant and had a nice evening, but we still wondered what happened there. if he had a bad time before and was already upset. I'm sorry for him, but no excuse to insult their customers. btw, we talked to him all the time. the mother tongue of my wife is Swiss, she was raised here, but she is black. I speak fluently high German. he spoke broken English to my wife, whom I find racist.

Vom Empfang, dem Ambiente des Lokals und dem Essen, alles war Top. Aussergewöhnliche aber köstliche Saucen, wunderschön angerichtete Speisen. Den kurz Trip nach Hawai kann man nur Empfehlen.

Den 19. Geburi unseres Sohnes haben wir im Maori gefeiert. Schon bei den Aperodrinks war Hochstimmung, Tiku Miki Mugs und Scorpion Bowl (ein Drink für meine drei Ladies, der seinem Namen Ehremachte) lancierte den Abend! Aber auch für mich als Driver gabs einen süffigen Virgin Capi.Zur Vorspeise dann verschiedene Pacific Sushi Rolls, ein Sushi Board und ein Tartar. Nicht nur wunderschön angerichtet, sondern schmeckte grossartig. Und 6 Pacific Sushi Rolls sind eine sehr grosse Portion!Nur gut, dass der Service der tollen Hauptgängen etwas Zeit in Anspruch nahm. Aber kein Wunder bei unserer Bestellung 1x quer durch die ganze Menukarte am Sonntagabend: Surf & Turf, Beef & Reed, Teriyaki Chicken und Maori's White Coconut und ein Pad Thai. Alles top!Wir kommen wieder!

- wait to be seated...aber niemand da- wir sitzen selber ab. Nach 1 Minute kommt die Bedienung und teilt uns mit, dass die 2 Fenstertische reserviert seien. Wir müssen den Tisch wechseln...2 Stunde später, als wir das Lokal verlassen, waren die Tische immer noch unbesetzt!- Essen gut- Bedienung freundlich-distanziert- Nette Geburtstagsüberraschung. Danach Musik zu laut eingestellt.- Preise zu teuer, für einzelne Gerichte und Drinks exorbitant- cooler Garten im Sommer
