Incredible service!Amazing experience.We have been regulars at the Oriental for 2.3 times when we passed through the pretty town of Ornans. The restaurant only serves take-away , call, and take your container or Dalila will lend you one, to serve you the Couscous Royal!Taste experience 5/5The owner is so kind personVery far from being the best couscous in the region, a rare gem!If you're looking for authentic cuisine in the area, go to L'oriental!We will come back as long as we can!

Coming once a year to Ornans, it's always a pleasure to taste the royal oriental couscous! Attentive staff, hearty and tasty cuisine with exceptional value for money. I recommend living this establishment.

The best couscous in Franche-Comté!Mrs. cooks, Mr. serves with a waitress, they are just adorable The restaurant will soon close, permanently, but what a shame...However, the couple will be able to rest and take care of their grandchildren... It's a wonderful job too...Very good luck to the couple, kisses...

A divine couscous, to take away now but still just as good and plentiful. I can't do without it anymore. A courageous woman who, despite the trials of life, continues to run her restaurant.

Tastiest couscous with vegetables I've ever tasted. Perfect, especially as a vegan. Large portion and freshly prepared. Very sweet operator!March 2024 - Pick-up only, not in the restaurant. I had to bring two containers (one for couscous, one for the vegetables) :)
