16 Venice Restaurants for Bellinis, Ciccheti, and Seafood | Condé Nast Traveler
"When I wanted a break from Venetian fare, Orient Experience offered a cheerful, migrant-staffed spot in the northern Canareggio district serving a changing menu of North African and Middle Eastern dishes that call to mind Venice’s historic role in the global spice trade; you can eat in, take away, or arrange delivery, and there is another branch in campo Santa Margherita." - Anne Hanley
Absolutely amazing restaurant, it was so good we went back twice. This restaurant is a hidden gem! As soon as you walk in you can smell all the spices and it makes you want more. We opted for a selection of food so we could try it all and my personal favourite was the Pakistani chicken. The food was so full of flavour and the portion sizes were big, I struggled to eat it all and the second time we went for starters. The service was very good and attentive, the host could see I was struggling with the heat (not of the food) and pointed the air conditioner and fan towards me. There were other people in the restaurant and we could not help but look over and see what they had. It all looked so good, we have said if we go back to Venice then this is the first place we will go to.

I loved this restaurant so much that my wife told me that I was not allowed to tell people that of all the places we’ve eaten in Italy over the last two weeks, this was my favorite.

Homemade style food. You get options of 2, 3 or 5 in the menu. We got mantu with chickpeas, beef stew, beef biryani, fried vegetables with yogurt, falafel, kufta, lemon chicken, chicken in cream, all tasty. Biryani seemed like it is leftover from yesterday. Mostly a good sample of Afghani cuisine. A worth try.

This place is incredible. I walked from St Marks Square to come here, and it was so worth it. I got chicken thighs & skewers, eggplant and lentil soup and would order them all again. I’ll be coming back.

We really loved this restaurant! Any of the chicken dishes are amazing, and the rice pudding for dessert was so delicious and unique! Service and food presentation was also exceptional. Definitely visit if you’re in Venice and want something other than pizza/pasta!

After spending 2 days of eating just pizza and pasta (vegetarian only due to being Muslim) we decided to try restaurants further afield.
Honestly, this has to be one of the best places I’ve eaten.
The food was impeccable. Beautifully seasoned and cooked. Presentation was great.
The decor was beautiful as well, understated.
Absolutely would recommend you dine here whilst in Venice.

This restaurant has a weird menu especially with their set menu options, it feels they are trying their best to get maximum results but eventually failed to deliver and we had to compromise. The meat ball was average but all others were good, the seating was uncomfortable.
