The meat is so chewy it may well come from Hammurabi times!! (Hammurabi (Warsaw, Poland))

Advantages: Great location on Nowy Swiat

Disadvantages: Not the best food

The Hammurabi food chain can be found across Warsaw, whilst not enormous food chain they do have quite a few restaurants with the most likely a tourist will come in to contact being the one on the main pedestrian street (well and buses and taxis!) - Nowy Swiat.

After an afternoon's walking - Hammurabi may look an inviting option with it's really small courtyard (really small - a few tables overlooking the street) and whilst the beer is a rather good price, the menu which describes itself as Middle Eastern, whilst authentic in that it's ran by Arabs is not all that wild when it comes to the menu which is basically a glorified kebab with chips and salad.

Not only that but a lot of the meat tends to be tough and chewy and whilst it's by no means the worst meat you'll find in a Warsaw Middle East restaurant, it's most definitely not the best. Better sit-down options are undoubtedly the expensive Lebanese restaurant Le Cedre or even the ubiqutious Sphinx with which there are two in relatively close walking distance from Hammurabi on Nowy Swiat.

I'm unsure of the opening times but would expect something around 10am-10pm
