Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Unbelievable food, service, and ambiance, all given from the heart by a soulful wonder-woman proprietor who manages the front and back of the house with careful attention and casual ease. It's home style, meaning you eat what she's making that day (no menu), and it was the most delicious and nourishing meal we'd eaten in a week. Don't miss your chance to eat here for lunch!!"
"Amazing food and super kind lady owner. I'm so glad to come here every time I visit Geneva, it's like visiting a loving aunt. One main dish per day (veg option possible), home-cooked with dedicated attention. Plus a soup and dessert is usually available. Open mostly for weekday lunches but sometimes also for dinner (need to call to ask). Can't wait to visit again!"
"An Iranian friend introduced it to me—that’s a guarantee. Traditional Persian food. Every day there's a different meal and soup and the lovely owner only cooks a few of them, so make sure to text her in advance. You can eat there or bring your Tupperware and take it away. I would have also loved it if desserts were Persiand too."
"Nice little restaurant, the food is simple but good."
"This was one of the best food services I’ve had in Switzerland. The woman was so kind and inviting and I felt like I was at a family member’s home for dinner. Delicious, fresh food."
"Is it just the nicest and best restaurant in Geneva? I don’t know, because I only tried a handful. But this place is amazing. Super nice and friendly owner, food is delicious and filling. Spent only a week in the city but I came back to eat here as much as I could. Highly recommended."
"Went to Moshool for lunch today because of the good reviews and it did not disappoint! Lunch was chicken, green salad, saffron rice, and stewed eggplant. It was so delicious. We don’t speak a ton of french but it all worked out ok. I definitely recommend checking out Moshool if you’re looking for something tasty!!"
"I will give 10 stars for this place if I could! The owner is so kind and she made such an incredible food."
