The restaurant has a diverse menu featuring seafood, ensuring there's something for everyone to enjoy. With its welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff, Het Paradijs stands out as one of the best dining options in the area.
One of the most beautiful and stunning places in all of Enschede. The service was fast and helpfull and the food was unbelievably tasty and you could taste that it was selfmade.
It was a bit hot inside but that could be due to the temperatur outside (about 34°C).
There were some cute tortoise and some fish inside the reastaurant living their best life.
The interior is breathtaking and pictures definetly don't do it justice.
There is a small and lovely second hand shop in the back.

Absolutely wonderful place! It felt we were seated in the lap of nature, enjoying well-made vegetarian dishes. The lasagna was delightful, and the drinks were very refreshing.
The staff were very polite and friendly, adding to the experience!
Maybe due to the dinner rush, it took quite a while for the food to be ready. But the wait was worth it for the delicious meals!
10/10 recommend.
The ambience of this pretty restaurant is a huge reason in itself to visit here atleast once!
I enjoyed the burger and the kebabs were okay.
Such a cosy place with good food! Ate the shepherds pie and it was great!
Nice indoor garden with exceptional food and very friendly staff. Highly recommend!
A very unique vegan Restaurant. Great food, amazing atmosphere!
This place is one of a kind. I was amazed at all the quirky little details that have been put in different places to create a truly unique experience. The staff was super polite and answered our questions thoughtfully. The only problem we had was with one of the desserts that either had really thick cream cheese or mayonnaise (!) on top of it so it was just too "heavy" to eat in the end. But I highly recommend the vegetarian burger, it is one of the best I have ever had!
The place is unique, really different with another restaurant. The high tea package is nice to share with family or some friends. But some of the cakes are a bit too sweet. Overall, it’s a good place to spend Sunday afternoon with family.

Stoet is a cozy and welcoming spot where you can enjoy a variety of coffee specialties such as Cinnamon Latte or Crazy Caramel, along with delicious treats like Red Velvet Brownie and Lotus Cheesecake. The place exudes a homely atmosphere with comfortable seating areas adorned with paper animals, homemade hanging shelves with green plants, and fresh flower bouquets on the tables. It's located in the Enschede Library, offering a great space for both relaxation and focused work.
It's always nice to have brunch here. Or just a coffee. Although it is noisy inside you still can enjoy your food and time with someone else. Or by yourself. Both are totally fine. The food and drinks are delicious, especially the iced latte and the warm goat cheese sandwich.

Such a gorgeous unique place!
I ordered a chicken toast and wanted it really quickly because I was in hurry. And it worked!
The only problem was the toilet, which was not that clean.
We probably had the best cake ever. The service is super kind and respectful and the atmosphere is just a very chill vintage vibe.
Absolutely in love
😍
Went here on our last day in Enschede for breakfast.
The venue inside the library is very interesting with a lot to explore and cozy as well. Very good service and fair prices (ordered everything in the picture plus another tosti, two coffee and an “easy breakfast” for less than 40€). Tab-Water is for free.
Great place and cheap to especially with how good the quality is! Great value for your money! The best way to describe the place is as a cheaper Frank & Charlie's, and I mean this as a compliment! Very childfriendly, lots of children playing everywhere, so good place to with kids. It's also part of the library and has some study spots with outlets but I don't think studying here would be too productive with all the noise. They also don't allow laptops around lunchtime. I'd recommend the American pancakes and the Chai Latte is also quite good.
Chill, relaxed place for lunch. Nothing gourmet, but great value for money. The chicken wrap and pancakes with bacon and maple syrup are great choices.
It can sometimes be quite noisy, since it's quite popular among families with little children, but usually has a relaxed coffee house atmosphere.
Arrived at 9:40 on a Monday morning, and in a fully empty space was told not to use my laptop at that specific table and that I needed to move. Just add a minimum spend or maximum time (if you really must). Laptop-free rules are obnoxious and should be removed.
Very cozy and aesthetically pleasing cafe. We had the avocado toast and American pancakes. The pancakes have a very delicious mango sauce. For drinks, we had a vanilla flavored chai latte and a dirty chai latte, both very tasty. The staff is also very friendly. It’s a nice place for brunch and also if you want somewhere to work/study.

This bar used to serve very good food a few years ago. Sadly not anymore:(
Try the rauw burger! Great taste, can't have enough of it!
Great service, kind staff, good food. Something else.
(Translated by Google) Always tasty and filling. Be sure to try the chicken burger now, it's fantastic. Also nice to combine with this owner's sweet tent.
(Original)
Altijd lekker en vullend. Probeer nu vooral de kipburger, die is fantastisch. Ook lekker te combineren met het zoete tentje van deze eigenaar.
(Translated by Google) Food good, employees don't handle criticism well. Prices on the menu at the table do not correspond to what must be paid. No one responds to criticism about this.
(Original)
Eten goed, medewerkers kunnen slecht met kritiek omgaan. Prijzen op de kaart aan tafel komen niet overeen met hetgeen moet worden betaald. Bij kritiek hierover geeft niemand thuis.
(Translated by Google) Few gluten-free options, but still very tasty
The very attentive and friendly staff informed me that traces of gluten may be present in every dish.
Upon asking, I was recommended the Korean Bowl and the Nachos New Style as vegan and gluten-free options.
The bowl was very tasty, but very spicy.
The nachos were also good.
From the perspective of a vegan nutritionist, the gluten-free options are relatively low in protein and not nutritious.
I still felt full and was happy to have found something to eat.
This place is located in a hall with many bars and snack stands.
The food hall is large, and there is free seating, including outside. Drinks must be purchased at a separate bar. There is no information about whether individual drinks are vegan.
(Original)
Wenige glutenfreie Alternativen, trotzdem sehr lecker
Die sehr aufmerksame und freundliche Bedienung hat mich darauf hingewiesen, dass Spuren von Gluten in jedem Gericht vorhanden sein können.
Auf Nachfrage wurde mir als veganes und glutenfreies Gericht die KOREAN BOWL empfohlen sowie die NACHOS NEW STYLE.
Die Bowl war sehr lecker, jedoch sehr scharf gewürzt.
Die Nachos haben ebenfalls gut geschmeckt.
Aus Sicht einer veganen Ernährungsberaterin sind die glutenfreien Varianten relativ proteinarm und nicht vollwertig.
Ich bin trotzdem satt geworden und war froh, etwas zum Essen gefunden zu haben.
In einer Halle mit vielen Bars und Imbissen befindet sich dieser Ort.
Die Food-Halle ist groß, es gibt freie Platzwahl, auch im Außenbereich. Getränke müssen an einer separaten Bar gekauft werden. Dort gibt es keine Deklarierung, ob die einzelnen Getränke vegan sind.
(Translated by Google) Really cool! We arrived expecting a restaurant. But it's in a food hall with various stalls, which I immediately loved. Great concept. The selection is really great. I had the RauwBurger and didn't regret it. It was so delicious, I could hardly believe it was vegan. We'll be back!

Richtig cool! Wir kamen an und haben eigentlich ein Restaurant erwartet. Doch das ist in einer Food Halle mit verschiedenen Ständen, was mich schon direkt begeistert hat. Tolles Konzept. Die Auswahl ist echt toll. Ich habe den RauwBurger genommen und es nicht bereut. Einfach soooo lecker, ich konnte es kaum glauben, dass der Burger Vegan ist. Wir kommen wieder!

The moment I enter Bagels and Beans Enschede, I always get welcomed by their passionate workers. You will be greeted when you enter and even when you leave they will wish you a nice day.
I believe service is a important point which makes you enjoy your meal even more.
And when talking about the all the delicious options they have; enjoy you will!
From vegan options to meat -
Cold and warm drinks -
Small and big desserts they have it!
Personally I always have difficulties with ordering, because I have to many favorites 😅
And most important; their coffee is good! 👍🏻
Absolutely lovely café with really delicious bagels! I had the Bali Bagel and my girlfriend took the aardbeienjam bagel with strawberry jam and vegan cream cheese. Both were soo good!!
Also the bagels are quite cheap for what they are.
The people working there are also super Friendly. I loved the atmosphere inside but because of the good weather we could sit outside, which was also really neat.
Also, the toilets are clean :)
If I visit Enschede again, I will definitely come here again! Loved it there!!
Very friendly staff and the bagels were amazing. They have a great variety of bagel combinations and the menu is available in dutch, english and german. The matcha drinks were very good. I can recommend the Japanese style bagel, the wasabi mayo is not that spicy so it's perfect. And the salmon was of high quality. Loved it ✨
In a word "Uitstekend!!" After a couple of hours on the road we chose to stop here because we had experienced several other B&Bs during our road trip through The Netherlands and whilst they varied a little, overall each was consistently good.
We are so pleased we stopped here as the staff are exceptionally friendly, the flat white and hot chocolate excellent and the Bagel Toasti - superb!
Well worth the detour away from the Highway as we were able to leave our car in secure parking and stretch our legs on the short walk to this fabulous Coffee & Bagel spot. 10/10
PS ask for the "special sauce" very, very good.
Very tasty coffee, especially mochaccino
Enjoyable food and friendly service. Would definitely go again. We shared the mixed toppings platter, highly recommend.
The food is always really good here! It's not that busy, so you get service quite quickly. The staff is really friendly and helpful. When I asked what kind of coffee they used, they told me the brand. I recommend this place for lunch!

Nestled in the heart of Enschede, Sam Sam has become a beloved destination for those with a sweet tooth and a penchant for delightful mini-desserts. This charming spot is perfect for catching up with friends over delectable treats like their renowned Arretjescake paired with Panna Cotta and lemongrass, or indulging in the classic apple pie that tastes even better here.
The food looks wonderful and tastes good, the prices correspond to the quality and they are low compared to other restaurants in Netherlands. They also have a rich kids menu with ice crem included. The ice cream is selected by children and they also can add sweets and jellies to it, that’s a nice experience for them. A great bonus is the stuff that is very polite and nice. In the pictures we have Big Burger and Sticky Lemon Chicken.

Good food and really good homemade ice tea, atmosphere at the place was really nice, full of people but not too crowded. Unfirtunately ordered haloumi salad but instead of haloumi got some other basic cheese. Not the end of the world but wasnt perfect. Overall a really good experience.
Thee table we were seated at was dirty. I ordered a cheesecake, and I haven't had such a terrible dessert in a long time ... just butter and cookies🤢I'm sorry to pay for this abomination.
Great restaurant with tasty food. I think the food was quite expensive for the portion I got. But as a vegan I can definitely recommend the Butter No Chicken.
Food was really good, would visit again.
Service was very good and they were real nice. :)
Very nice ambiance, variety of food and drinks options available. Table on terrace is the best choice. Newly installed tent with water sprinkler is amezing ( for summer). Staff is young , enthusiastic and very nice.
Plenty of toyes for toddlers/ kids available here.
Sam Sam is our neighbour restaurant and we highly recommend it.

Sat here for a drink when all of a sudden some weirdo on the square throws a beer bottle our way. It smashed apart again some glass separator right in front of us which prevented anyone getting seriously injured, but the sound was crazy and everyone realized it could have been much worse. Anyhow. Shocked people and shattered glass everywhere (including on our table). Staff came by to ask what happened, literally looked at all the glass, then left.
After ten minutes surrounded by shattered glass the vibe was long gone so I went inside to tell them that we were leaving and asked them for the bill. I also mentioned there were tiny pieces of glass everywhere (and that they were probably in our drinks too) and recommended to clear the tables around us (to prevent that people would accidentally swallow such a piece of glass).
Worst money ever spent for a drink we didn't even drink for safety reasons.
Not blaming the girl who served us, she was very nice. But when she went to tell her manager, I believe that person should have made a more professional call.
Nice food and friendly staff. Good choices in dishes. Good atmosphere on the terrace.
The burger was anything but through. Almost ice cold from the inside and very raw and muddy. It didn't taste good at all. Fries were good. 20 euros for this

The staff was very kind. The food was delicious. I'm still dreaming about that bread pudding with croissant and cinnamon rolls 🤤
"Super friendly, helpful, and kind staff. Very interesting and tasty dishes. I was really surprised that when they brought the sandwich, there was nothing bad in it, unlike most places. Usually, there are very unhealthy sauces, but here they used yogurt or something like that. I highly recommend it." The pen
ETN is a trusted staple in my diet.
Fresh, delicious and yummy. Staff is terrific and very friendly and the atmosphere is cozy.
Go there or regret it forever ;)
Amazing vegan cakes and nice staff. I must always have the lentil soup
I have eaten here before and it is one of my favorites. The staff will do everything and more, they are really amazing!
Super nice and smakelijk :) we had the avocado toast, raspberry cheesecake and a cinnamon roll. Yummy!
ETN was nice and cosy. We had 2 different types of cheesecake = delicious and girls (employees) were polite and friendly. Definitely a place to go if you're somewhere around 😊

It’s the third time we have been here and it’s always been great! We have already tried many of the salty dishes and some of the desserts and we think the sweets are better. The bao buns were good but I personally preferred the Turkish eggs, because they were truly tasty!! But the highlight was the cake in the end. So tasty!!!! I totally recommend it!
Gorgeous, fun, and delicious! I had the best bao buns of my life here, my taste buds were happy and surprised with every bite ☺️
The atmosphere, liveliness, and colors made the whole experience so beautiful that I wanted to take a piece of it home with me, so I picked up and bought some cute, colorful towels that now brighten up my kitchen.
Would definitely recommend 😊
The interior is quite nice. Various brunch options to choose from, took turkish poached eggs and bao buns, loved both. Bao buns meat would be the only point of improvement, replacing it with less greasy option.
Btw there could be a queue, we waited only few minutes, but multiple times we saw people standing in long lines.
Honestly i thought it was just a new hype in Enschede, but it’s genuinely very good and is becoming one of my favorite places in Enschede! Food and drinks are super good, and they offer quite a good and different choice than the standard cafes in the city center. I recommend!
They were super helpful, gave advice on menu selection after I told them my dietary restrictions, and checked back several times to verify and let me know which ingredients on the Mexican Sloppy Joe they were not adding.
Also had Chai Latte with Oat milk. presentation and taste were great.
I visited this restaurant with a friend last week, and we had a great experience. The food was delicious, and the ambience was warm and inviting. The service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff who made us feel welcome.
From the outside, the restaurant looks small, but it’s surprisingly spacious inside. There’s also outdoor seating available for those who prefer to dine outside. Overall, it’s a great spot, and I’d definitely recommend it!
Beautiful place. The food is really good. A perfect combination of colored ingredients that fill your eyes . Even if you arrive in the lunch time when they are full, there's no much waiting.

Lovely little location in the beautiful neighborhood Roombeek. It took a bit long for the food to arrive, and when it finally came I was surprised they gave me the wrong order. Nonetheless the food and mocktail tasted good.
The place is very nice specially when it is sunny.
However, the sandwich with chicken was too dry. Some drink like Aperol or Lemonade is taste less. The Aperol was literally orange sparkling water. Do better when you change so much for your products.
Slow place with quite high prices. If they could fix the service, it would be 4 star.
Have been here a few times and the food is always good. The place offers a nice cosy feeling as well. A local favourite when I'm in Enschede.
Below average taste with high price.
Amazing choice of vegetarian and vegan dishes, all very creative and very tasteful. Service was great, nice indoors and outdoors space and lots of places to play for kids

I was being taken here by two very good friends. The food was beyond excellent and created with expertise and passion. Service was attentive and sweet. My only complaint which isn't their fault was a rowdy, loud and obnoxious group next to us. Would go again.
Kenny A — Google review
This place had been warmly recommended to us but we will not be going there again. The meal started great and I can recommend the horomaki and beef tataki. The fried rice was just OK but the wait in between the dishes was very long and with very little service. The wagyu, 60€ per 100g, was horrendously expensive for what we received and was served cold which ruined the entire experience. The placement of tables really doesn't allow the waiters to see you and attend to the tables properly, the light is also very dimmed and the ambiance very loud. The lights are so dimmed that our waiter could not see the very obvious red stains on the spoons and had to replace it 3 times before we could get a clean one.
They forgot us for dessert and had to be reminded to bring the menu, we chose 2 surprise desserts for 2 people each: one normal and one for gluten and dairy intolerance. The normal one was a huge disappointment with sorbets and not so nice accompaniments. The one for the dietary restrictions was horrendous though, somehow the sorbets were different than the normal ones (mango, lemon and cherry from clearly different brands than the normal ones even though they are both sorbets) and tasted like chemicals. This was paired with some fruits that were not even ripe. All in all we thought we would get a high quality restaurant but got an overly pricey experience with mediocre food that was way too expensive for what it was and very poor service due to the table placement.
Very disappointing.
The food was ordinary and the price was too high.
The service was okay.. but not good enough for what we paid.
We chose the chef menu 2 and it came with soy beans (basic), a soup (it was ok), the sushi had a truffle maionese and a kimchi flavour maionese that it was also served in the warm dishes afterwards (warm maionese as a sauce).
The grilled fish had no flavour, the meat dish was ordinary.
We finished with cheesecake and ice cream that didn’t feel homemade, it was supermarket quality.
The music was loud and the waiting time between dishes was too long.
This experience was too low for the high price we paid.
The best Japanese Resto we've ever had in Netherlands! I surprised my husband to dine during his Birthday and he had so much fun with it. We both like the food, wine, sake and the service! Thank you to Shing Yin and Dunya for making my husband's birthday extra special. Kudos to the Chef!
Great ambiance, very friendly staff. My family has come to this restaurant for years and the food never disappoints. For big groups I suggest reserving tables on time, and make use of the Chef's Choice menus. They are easier for the kitchen for big groups, and definitely worth it and easily sharable among multiple people. Love this restaurant. Will definitely come back many times and recommend it to everyone.
The rolls, but most dishes actually, have a lot of sauce on them, making the actual fish hard to taste. The chefs menu is a lot of food, but it's definitely (too?) pricey. Staff is nice. Doesn't feel authentic Japanese, more fusion-like.
They have their own parking on the other side of the road, where there were several places.
This place doesn't disappoint. Yesterday we had the best grilled lamb chops ever. Absolute bomb.
Superb sushi! Even the take-out option is of impeccable quality. If you're in for a delicious treat, than you can't go amiss at TAO.

Overall the quality of the food is very good, and the service is top notch as well.

What an amazing find it was.
It is kind of a food mall with different kitchens. We had Texan Nachos, Korean chicken wings, surenamese coco shrimps and profiteroles and a three beer taster plate.
Food was delicious and beers strong😎.
The place has a rustic ambience and lively atmosphere. They even have a live DJ. Music also was surprisingly good.
Only negative is their tedious payment system but they more that make it up with their super friendly service.
We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.
Overall a great place, highly recommended.
Twentsche Foodhal is perfect for groups — everyone picks and pays for their own food and drinks. Great vibe and variety!
Only downside: the drink service can be a bit slow sometimes.
Amazing food at Foodbar rauw & de zoetekauw! Great place for groups with lots of different wishes/needs.
Nice tacos place and a whole lot of other food options, try the cocktails if u drink!
Nice ambience here, and interesting selection of food to choose from. The dessert was definitely delicious and so were the fried cauliflower bites
Great choice of food for decent prices and cozy atmosphere. Downsides: details in design are sometimes not great (ceiling is bit dirty, too industrial and sometimes tears in concrete) and they do not offer regular soda’s, only biological stuff. So don’t expect Coca Cola or Pepsi.
Attentive, friendly staff. Food was good quality, fairly priced, but the QR code experience is a disjointed, having to do separate checkout processes for each of the kitchens/food stands/drinks

If you're in Enschede, Moeke is a delightful spot that caters to both vegetarians and meat lovers alike. The menu features an impressive selection of seasonal vegetarian dishes available for lunch and dinner, ensuring there's something for everyone. On a recent visit around 2 PM on a Saturday, the restaurant buzzed with energy, but we were fortunate enough to snag a table on the second floor. I tried their "Steak bread" and the generously portioned "Schnitzel.
A great restaurant to enjoy sunny weather during the summer. The indoor atmosphere was relaxing and well-designed. The dishes were tasty, and the waiters were helpful and spoke English very well. It’s a bit pricey but reasonable.

I really loved the Moving mountain Burger, was very juicy and it was with a Set of Fat fries with really good Mayo.
I would highly recommend “White Chocolate Cheese Cake”, it is worth every penny you will pay ❤️
Moeke’s is delicious. Service was quick and excellent, the coffee and the sandwiches are also good 🥪
It’s a nice spot to hang out with friends, especially during the summer. The atmosphere is fantastic—relaxing outside with a view of the beautiful church while enjoying a refreshing drink is simply perfect. The staff are incredibly friendly and make the experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great place to unwind and enjoy good company!

Thank you for amazing services and friendly environment whenever we visit Moeke!
Place is very cozy and has good vibes. Loved the "Eastern chicken with bread" I had and will go back to eat it again sometime 😋. Took a bit long for the staff to notice we wanted to pay but that happens sometimes and they were all very friendly. Will go again sometime!
We were at the restaurant around 14:00 in saturday and it was pretty full with people. Luckily we could able to have table at 2.floor.
We ordered "Steak bread" and "Way too big Schnitzel" for our lunch. The gravy from steak had kinda weak taste, i need to put more salt and pepper in it. But still i felt butter go better with the steak. I called for medium rare and it was juicy, perfect! The breads also good.
Schnitzel was definitely giant and could be wrapped up to bring home for dinner :D It tasted super fluffy, crunchy from outside and tender inside. The sauce, i think it's better to go with sea food. I might order pepper sauce for next time.
About drink : we took "Spaanse Koffie" and " Moeke's Kletskoffie". It went with 2 different cookies aside, both was very tasty. The Spaanse u could taste more alcohol in it and was strong for your tummy if u haven't eaten anything. But anw, i love the drinks! Super!
So for 2 people is around 60€, including drink. I will come back to try the dinner menu.
We were attracted by the fire place to have a drink, stayed there for almost three hours attended by Angela. Cosy place with really good food. Deer burger recommended.
Went again for lunch!

Good food with plenty of options, but the overall experience wasn't great. The place lacked heating, making it too cold to fully enjoy our meal. Additionally, it took quite a long time before our lunch was served. Would be much better with a warmer atmosphere and faster service.
Lovely food and lovely people! Thanks for opening for us and I am sure we will return. If you looking for yummy food, look no further! Some of the comments were: "finally some good food in the Netherlands", "best vegan burger I have ever had". Thanks again. Good stuff
We traveled from Canada to Enschede and stumbled upon this charming vegan café. The owners are incredibly friendly and compassionate, and the food and drinks—especially the ginger beer—are both creative and delicious.
I had dinner at this restaurant, and I must say both the service and the food were really good. We were helped by a very warm and welcoming girl, and I ordered a burger with a patty that looked and tasted like real meat. Even better in my opinion haha.
I have nothing bad to say, though I think a little background music could add a nice touch to the atmosphere. The place is already very cozy as it is.
Thank you for the experience. I wish this place all the best, and I hope more people discover it.
Website and maps says open at 12:00 on Sunday. Drove here, 12:20, still everything is close.
No signs and no papers on it, just closed with a big lock.
Will maybe try another time, but update your hours
Eating out doesn’t have to be unhealthy! Earth cafe serves vegan food that is cooked from scratch without using any artificial ingredients, offers a complete nutrition palette in one meal and the dishes are one of the most delicious I’ve had in the Netherlands. My personal favourites are the falafels and mushroom soup. But their daily changing menu ensures that you enjoy something new everytime you are there. Conveniently located on Emmastraat, behind the Volkspark. The atmosphere is very relaxed compared to the busier restaurants in the city. In summers, you can enjoy your meal in their beautiful garden. I have been a regular since they opened and this is truly a gem in Enschede that should not be missed!
We had a wonderful experience at Earth Café.
The atmosphere is comfortable and homey. The service is friendly, and the owners are warm. The market dog is adorable (honestly I'd come back just to pet him). The food is frankly incredible: I don't know how they managed to create such a creamy texture with vegan ingredients. The flavors were perfectly balanced. We both ordered the Planet Platter and were delighted.
I ordered a staggering amount of food (three courses and wine, as did my boyfriend) and was pleasantly surprised when our bill was not only reasonable, but lower than I'd expected (and yes, I double checked).
On the way out, we were able to grab some nice bread from the market and some more of the homemade kimchi.
We'll be back for sure!

Happy Italy Enschede offers a wide variety of Italian dishes at affordable prices, making it a popular choice for budget-friendly dining. With an extensive menu featuring 26 types of pasta and 26 types of pizza, there's something to satisfy every craving. The restaurant's cozy atmosphere in the city center makes it a great spot for hangouts. While some have praised the fast service and reasonable prices, others have found the pasta dishes and coffee to be lacking in quality.
A true Italian experience! We were very pleased with the evening we spent at Happy Italy Enschede. The pizzas were both plentiful and had a true stone oven flavor. The pasta portions were very filling and freshly prepared. The place is spacious and airy, especially suitable for large groups of friends. The service was fast and the staff was very friendly. The price/performance ratio is also very satisfactory. It is definitely a place I would like to come back to. I would recommend it to anyone who loves Italian cuisine!

This time the food was good and service didn’t spoil the drinks on us this time. The pizza tasted very good and it’s enough for two. The panna cotta is very good but few. The chairs are horrible to sit on and most if not all are unstable and moving. The atmosphere is nice with big murals and an open kitchen. I would advise to go next door for ice cream because theirs is not good.
If you enjoy overpriced disappointment, this is your place. The waiter clearly missed her calling as a grumpy mime, and the service took so long I considered learning Italian to pass the time. The mushrooms on my pizza were sliced so thin they might’ve been hallucinations, and charging full-liter prices for tiny 200ml bottles should be a crime. Definitely not Happy Italy—more like Hangry Italy.
Entering Happy Italy, I immediately felt at ease in the cozy atmosphere. The attentive staff made the dining experience pleasant, offering friendly service and helpful recommendations.
The food was average at best, but the portion sizes are great for the price! I wouldn't recommend the gelato though, you could get better ones at the supermarket.
Overall, it's a charming spot for a relaxed meal with friends or a casual date night.
Good food, but the service needs improvement
We’ve been to Happy Italy several times, and unfortunately, good service has been rare. The staff is often slow and seems unmotivated or unfriendly.
On the bright side, the food is good. The pizzas are tasty and well-made, and the salads are fresh and enjoyable.
There’s a kids’ play area, which is helpful for families, but the playground is quite basic. If you sit near it, the noise can be overwhelming, making it hard to enjoy a relaxed meal.
I will give just 3 stars for a few reasons:
- the food was tasty and it came fast, it doesn’t deserve 5 stars because the quality of the salami was not the best I met, and also not so fresh.
- the lemonade just full of ice and not so much lemons squeezed, only the taste was present.
- the personnel was screaming to each other and that made a not so nice atmosphere to stay and enjoy a pizza.
- the waitress not so implicated and not so friendly.
After all, I apreciated the location, big place and enough tables if you plan to go many people.
The waiting time is very short and they have many waitresses and pizza guys also
Nice place to get a pizza in a very convenient location nearby the station and centrum. Food is good, but a little bit pricey in my opinion (though for the Netherlands, it is quite acceptable), the taste is good but definitely not the greatest pizza, but still deserves a high praise. I prefer to get a pizza and eat at home since the restaurant is quite noisy and there are quite a lot of people usually, so keep it in mind. Overall, a nice place to get some food, but a little bit pricey.
Pizza dough is ok however the ingredients are definitely not fresh. Tomato sauce tastes like the one from frozen pizza you can buy in a supermarket. Portion sizes are big however it's obvious that they result in lower ingredients quality

Burger : Smokey beast + extra Pommes
This is the 3. times we have come here to eat. But 3 times we got different burger buns and we always ordered the same.
So the first time was a brioche bun, that was sooooo gutttt and the sauce + meat was TOP!!
The 2. time was a little disappointing.. they changed the bun, like white bread bun (?), well it was dry. The sauce wasn't spiced.. but meat was good!
The 3. time (photo under) was ok... Bun was also a different one. But it tasted better than the white one. Sweet potato fries weren't long enough in the fryer, but still good enough. Well the new summer drink wasn't fair with the price. "Passion & Pineapple lemonade" just feel like from bottle and Pineapple was from frozen fruit... 5,25€ i was expecting more.. and the glass is also small, like 100ml + ice. Sad...
Price (2P) : 48€ (include drinks)
A wonderful eatery run by a wonderful family. Delicious sandwiches, burgers, homemade soups and a wide range of vegetarian options! The ambience of the different rooms is a delight in itself.
We hosted a party with a small group here few months ago. Esmé and other colleagues were very helpful with all the arrangements and made it a memorable day.
Food was good so far, we had a cocktail afterwards … service mixed up the order and refused to bring the right cocktail afterwards. They said I would have to pay for both cocktails if I wanna have the right one as well ^^
Great quality food, also a nice selection for vegan options. Very friendly service!
Very friendly waitresses and the onion soup was just amazing
Lovely spot for a coffee break
The atmosphere is charming. Just enough menu choices to be varied without being overwhelming. I ordered roast beef that was cooked perfectly and surprisingly flavorful beyond expectations! The waiter was patient and helpful as he translated the menu for me to explain the different items. Delightful visit!

Had the 2 person menu which had a tiny bit of everything, from beef, chicken as well as shrimp. The appetizers were also a really nice selection of fried foods. We also had the sticky mango rice dessert but I forgot to take a picture lol. Service was also pretty good, food came fast and was delicious.
Maria — Google review
Food was really good, I must say, except dining at a restaurant should be more than that.
Giving a low rating cos of the staff that attended to us. He was very pleasant and proper until my husband noticed that all other tables got a complimentary serving of kroepoek but we didn't. My husband asked for this and the instant he did, the staff obviously looked annoyed and pissed, even to the point of going behind the counter and telling a colleague to dock behind the counter with him. This happened just right after we asked for the kroepoek, so obviously it was us they were talking about. Even to the point of payment, the guy couldn't even look us in the eye.
It's a shame, it was a really nice restaurant and had a nice ambiance. But if that's the way the staff acts, it isn't worth going back to
Dishes are easily customizable for both non-vegetarians and vegetarians. The menu has a lot of diversity. My favorite from them is definitely the Tom Yum soup and all my friends are in love with their mango sticky rice dessert. Service could be improved by minimizing the time you wait for ordering(almost half an hour when there were only 2 tables busy in the restaurant) and for receiving the order.
We came in at around 6:30 pm, we was a group of 6 persons. The restaurant is small but very cosy, when we arrived was it fully packed. Only 2 persons worked at the service they where completely stressed out. The reason why i gave only 2 stars is that we waited 2 hours for the main dish. This is horrendous especially because we had kids on us. The food was delicious, but ruined by the long waiting time.
👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
They have a credit card reader but denied all of the cards of myself and colleague. Forced us to go to ATM to pay cash. Service was slow and waitress was not attentive. Food was good. Bring cash to eat here.
It was a Wednesday evening and it started out with not many people but soon filled up. We ordered the 2 person 3-meal course with the 10 appetizers included. Regardless of what we would eat it was all delicious. Balanced, not too sweet or spicy and just right.
All 4 dishes I tried were very tasty! Best Thai food in Enschede for sure. Only improvement would be the waiting time. We waited for 45 minutes for the food to be served.
The food tasted great! The ambience was nice and cozy. The staff was friendly.

Even though we went on Christmas Eve, despite the crowd, they never compromised on quality and made us have a wonderful evening. The food is excellent, fresh, delicious, hygienic. We got the “all you can eat” concept. We ate everything we wanted for 2.5 hours, it has a wide variety of Japanese dishes, salads, desserts and sushi that we could not taste all of them. Non-alcoholic drinks were included in the concept price, alcohol drinks are extra. 50 Euros per person (this price was valid for Christmas Eve), Normally “All you can eat “concept is 39 Euros. We were very pleased with the food, the service, the smiling and helpful staff. I think it is great that they can provide such quality service and food on a Christmas Eve that was 100 out of 100. We came here for the holiday, and Blue Sakura is the number 1 restaurant here in terms of Japanese food, especially sushi. Thank you for everything 🙏We will be back

Beautiful restaurant, tasty food, and fair prices
Blue Sakura is a visually attractive restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere and tasty Japanese food. The pricing is fair for what you get.
I’ve been there a few times without a reservation and always found a table, although I was asked each time if I had booked in advance. So it might be wise to reserve, especially during peak hours.
Everything was very fresh and tasty 🍣 service was also quick and nice
Middle of the road all you can eat restaurant. Nothing special, not bad. They actually do better than average. Staff is very friendly and the prices are ok.
Great place to chill with friends, the fried items on the menu are very tasty and fried very well although for some reason the sushi and meat options were tasting similar or the same which i hoped it would taste different from each other as different ingredients were used to make the sushi/meat. We also asked for tap water but the waiter refused and told us we can give tap water if you buy a bottle of wine which was strange but overall not a bad place to eat at a all you can eat but i wish that each item could stand out on its own.
Blue Sakura has been my favorite restaurant in Enschede since 2020! After three years, I went back in 2024, and it cost 29.50 euros per person. The food was tasty, the service was good, and the ambiance of the restaurant was also nice! My favorite dish is the Gebakken zalm. I remember its name has changed, it was called Sake Yaki. But the taste remains the same. Definitely will go back here to enjoy my comfort foods!
The best food I have had in a while. Very fresh and tasty. Very easy to order and the waiters are always kind and helpful. I am definitively coming back.
Nice cozy place with very friendly hosts. The food is good and have ample of options to choose from. The best part is the smart ordering using the tablet on the table, cutting the waiting time. The experience was very fun and time well spent.

Delicious and super charming place! We had the medium tasting menu, every course was amazing and by the end of the meal, we were very full. The cocktails we had were also excellent. Our waitress was lovely, she explained each dish and all the ingredients with such care. Highly recommended!
Such a great place to go out to eat in Enschede! I can’t believe it took me so long to go here. The atmosphere is great inside, its beautifully decorated and really makes you feel as if you have traveled to Latin America. The staff are super friendly and talented, they were able to speak English, Dutch, and Spanish. The service was exceptional. Last but not least the food was phenomenal, we had the Culinary Trip Menu and each course was delicious, I loved that they gave you a nice explanation about each dish and where it was typically from in Latin America.
It was a very nice experience with the 4/5 course menu through South America. Some dishes we never had before
They make the entire menu a whole experience, with nice explanations for each dish. It is so nice to have such an authentic latin experience here in Enschede! They have shrimp, empanadas, tacos, and so much more. Another highlight was the piña colada which tastes better than any cocktail I’ve had.
Carlina’s is a cozy place, with a friendly staff in general. To us, food was more interesting in the beginning when the restaurant was just opened. The ‘journey’ feels like a forced menu. The A la cart option has been removed unfortunately, and not for the better. That makes it very limited. The prizes are way too high for what you get. The drinks are actually very nice.
In the 5-course menu it said that it includes a drink, but according to the waitress, it was a “recommendation to take a drink with the menu”.. which didn’t make sense to us (considering the price). We spend €209 for two people. That feels way too much for what you get.
A bit surprised by all these positive reviews. Charming atmosphere and friendly staff. However, the food was underwhelming. The first two courses tasted like the salad and frozen sections of AH. The last course was alright, but the beef in the stew (best dish) was incredibly dry. I do not think I would have left a review until I saw the final bill. Waaaayyyy overpriced for what it was. The drinks in particular were marked up. 12 Euro cocktails. A 9 Euro bottle of wine was 65 Euro!!
Amazing restaurant. No notes. I've lived in Brazil for 5 years and visited Peru, Argentina, Chile, and Bolivia, and this was the perfect blend of Latin cuisine all in one bite!
The coxinha de frango was so nostalgic and the best ive ever had.
My biggest joy was how carefully the staff took care to cater for my mother's severe celiac allergy. She literally teared up when she took a bite. It wasn't some replacement or similar dish. It was always the same dish as everyone else. Just gluten-free.
The staff was wonderfully friendly too and made sure to make us feel welcome. The entire staff felt like going to eat at my Abuela's. Ill be sure to visit again. Thanks for making us feel at home.

Top notch food and service 🫶
We had two 4-course surprise menus and it included: antipasto, entree, main course, and dessert.
Price-quality ratio is great, the food was fresh and tasty, and the staff is SO attentive.
Another thing I really appreciated was the music volume. It was ambient and we could hear each other perfectly in the indoor garden/patio.
This place is more than a restaurant, is an experience of itself not just through food, but also because of the community. The food was just amazing, served fresh with great plating, looking great and tasting even better. The service was without any flaws, I have never seen waiters working so good in a team and never leave you waiting. They were kind enough to explain each dish without us even asking as they just saw us interested. There was live music, great ambiance, the interior design is great from the entrance until the smallest corner. Such a great attention to details! Absolutely loved it. For four hours I totally forgot which city I am in! Definitelly recommending it!
One of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in a long time.
We came to Habibi hoping for a relaxed meal, but the service was absolutely terrible. The staff – especially the waitresses – were extremely unfriendly and made us feel like we were a burden just for being there. No smiles, no basic courtesy, and definitely no sense of hospitality.
What made it worse: we specifically asked to sit outside, as the weather was perfect. Instead of simply accommodating us, they acted like it was a huge inconvenience. They refused to open the outdoor area without giving any proper reason, even though everything was clearly set up and ready. It felt like they just didn’t want to do the extra work.
If you’re looking for a place with good vibes and respectful service, this is not it. I won’t be coming back, and I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to anyone
Visited several times and its always a delight. Great dishes.
The mezze are very well spiced and the grilled meat is great.
Everything seems to be as it should be and well portioned in a nice setting with good and friendly staff.
The best food and atmosphere since a long time. I would go for 6 starts but only 5 are possible. Although Enschede is not exciting and special, Habibi is. Just go there for great, very tasteful food and nice ambience. And a special place for people who like to smoke waterpipe.
Local to where I stay for work, easy to order and food is always consistent. Would love to see an updated menu soon, there is room for more range.
Tasted like I was back in Lebanon. You will have to drive a bit from the city center to reach this place. But when you arrive it will all be worth it. The food was amazingly good, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely come back more often. After dinner you can go for shisha!

We ordered mint tea and realized it was served in a hot glass without handles so we brought it as a feedback to the waitress that this is hard to drink in hope it will help some future customers but she just made fun of it saying "I've done that easily many times" then told her colleagues to laugh about us in the back. Really unprofessional. The place was nice and good with the flavor but this behavior is just not it. Not sure to understand which staff the other reviews talk about that say "really kind" but it seems we had the wrong employees 😂 Never again.
I was attended very nicely by the staff who helped me pick a very nice gluten and lactose free dinner.
I recommend this place for anybody who has these intolerances or who looks for some vegan options aside from the meat and fish.

The atmosphere is warm, authentic, and full of good energy and harmony. This isn’t just a restaurant – it feels like home. The staff are friendly, relaxed, and genuinely passionate about what they do.
This was our third visit, and every time we leave feeling full, relaxed, and happy.

Excellent coffee, wonderful almond croissants and superb service from the lovely, smiling girls who run this cute corner shop. Rosy's is pne of the three go-to places in Enschende for coffee 'n cake.
Such a lovely and cozy café 😊 I ordered Pumpkin spice latte with blondies, soo delicious 🤌
Beautiful small cafe with great healthy and delicious food and drinks to offer. Very refreshing and definitely a small hidden gem.
