Restaurant World

Super günstiges und leckeres curry - leider nicht wirklich sehr gemütlich und eher abseits gelegen. die bräuchten alle mal nen innenaustatter.

The restaurant World is unique. It does not serve the usual standard food, but rather concentrates on Caribbean/Asian/Ayurvedish dishes, 99% of them comprising various curries, the rest consisting of rice and papadam-bread-thingies.

World mainly offers an all-you-can-eat buffet (6 to 8 curries, rice, papadam, soup and a salad-bar) as well as one dish of the menu (i.e. the Kings Plate which I have not seen in real life though).

The curries are all heavily Caribbean-styled; there is no Indian curry or anything that would make you think of standard Asian food.

Some of the curries reminded me of "Yak+Yeti", i.e. a Nepalese/Tibetan restaurant; some of the Sri Lanka restaurant "Curry Isle"

All curries were tasty indeed. However, they were a bit to mild for my taste (even though spiced up with spicy sauce that equally was available).

The buffet charge is EUR 7,40. That is very cheap, especially for what you get!

A large beer costs 2,90. Again this is cheap.

The atmosphere is quite shallow; World comes equipped with standard more-or-less ikea furniture, but it has a nice but very very small Cuban-style bar with two bar-chairs as a highlight.

Outside seating available.

Really friendly staff/owner, apparently from the Caribbean.

All in all, Restaurant World is a nice place; if you a re in the neighborhood, give it a try, especially if you are backpacking in/through Vienna an look for a good bang for your buck.

However, its not the real "Go there now or you'll miss life" location as indicated by Mike below.

das war ja wirklich gut!

Es gibt ja solche Reviews, die aus dem unbezwingbaren Beduerfnis entstehen, seine Mitmenschinnen mitzureissen, etwas zu moegen. Ist ja schoen, aber hier bringt das nichts weil da ja keiner regelmaessig hinkommt. zumal der Besitzer meint, er lebe eh von der Stammkundschaft.
Trotzdem: er kocht wirklich gut, und fuer ein Buffet gabs eine ueberraschend hohe Varianz in Geschmack und Zutat. Mein Favourite war die Erdnuss-Curry Sauce.
Endlos Papadam stoert auch niemanden, und das Bier war schoen kalt.
Gut, dass es so weit vom Schuss ist, somit bleibts klein und original.

Go. Now. Small, warm and welcoming family-run restaurant, with two of the nicest owners I've ever met, serving some of the tastiest curry I've ever had in Wien. Oh, and finally curries that have some sort of spice and taste to them!

The all you can eat buffet features 5 vegetarian / vegan curries, a giant bucket of rice, all you can grab pappadam, a salad bar and a tasty soup. Fill up your plates, fill up your stomach and have a pleasant and smoke-free experience. It's almost unheard of!

Oh yeah, they also have 3 additional curries with meat in them for you blood mouths.

Ha-haaaa first post!!!

Just went to this place for lunch, it was awesome. Cheap, tasty food, nice service, good vibe.
