The food is wonderful. Incredible menu. Really something to behold. But the service is unfortunately lacking. Waitress was slow, entitled, fat, and looked like she hated her life. You shouldn't have to beat for service. Maybe just bad luck but be warned they don't seem happy to have business. read more

This place had the most random things on the menu; how good could it possibly be? But, surprisingly, our favorite meal during our New England trip was here. Cashew asparagus stir fry - My fave! Fresh and flavorful, this is exactly what I needed. Grilled cheese fondue - Sounds rather fancy, right? But it was just grilled cheese cut into squares with a savory-sweet dipping sauce. My family loved it. Pulled duck grilled cheese - Husband's fave, another win. This is the kind of place you go to after a long day hiking or just being outdoors. The kind of place that serves comfort food and just the right amount too (not too much where you just want to crawl in bed and rot right after). Will definitely save this cute spot for future travels. read more

Came here for dinner on a Sunday evening around 7pm. Easy parking across the street. I walked in and they said they would have to check if they could take walk ins but I was lucky and they were able to seat me at the bar. The bar was perfect for me and a nice atmosphere inside. The bartender was nice and attentive. The menu has a variety of different foods so hard to make a decision! Everything sounds so tasty. I at first ordered the falafel plate. About 10-15 minutes later they told me they came back and told me they didnt have any croquettes which was sad. I think ordered a special Korean chicken plate that was good. A lot of chicken and it was nice and crisp. Dish was very filling. I had a nice time and a good meal! read more

Fourth time here and the food is equally good as years ago. I am not sure why their menu doesn't show Indonesian noodles but you can order it nevertheless. We were in NH for 4 days and out of that we were at Gypsy cafe for 2. We love this place it has a lil bit of everything. we tried their malai kofta, fried fritters, Indonesian noodles, Brazilian rice, butter pasta(from kids menu) and corn and cauliflower patties. Everything was delicious and the service was good. Just one thing to be mindful of is they do require you to make a reservation in advance eventhough the place might not be as crowded at 5:30 PM. Coming back again when we are in Lincoln! read more

Rating: 4.3 Came to try this place for dinner due to its popularity. It's a restaurant that serves fusion dishes combining different cultural food. Small parkings lot available. Inside is nicely decorated and seems hippie. Inside is spacious and has many seatings. It was not too busy so we were sat down immediately on a side table with chairs. We ordered grilled cheese fondue, Indonesian swordfish noodle, and Thai style salad with chicken. The grilled cheese fondue was tasty. Buttery and savory grilled cheese goes well with sweet and sour anchovies bbq like sauce. Indonesian sword fish noodle was delicious. The sword fish was a bit dry but sweet and savory peanut sauce helped keep it moist and flavorful. Noodles had good texture and veggies and peanuts added to the flavor/texture profile. My partner enjoyed her thai salad. Service was good and staffs were nice. Overall the place was pretty good. Great flavors and vegan options are plus for some people. The place is unique in a way that offers dishes combining different cultures which was refreshing. Downside was that the price was on higher side for some of its menu and that there were ants everywhere on our table and the side of the window which can be seen as unsanitary. read more

Service was prompt and knowledgeable. Very eclectic menu options; from Thai to Caribbean and Indian to Moroccan. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. I had the jerk pork chops and my wife had the Thai salad. Both excellent choices. Decor was perfect for the town; artistic with a touch of whimsy read more

The Gypsy Cafe is a very eccentric and eclectic spot. Their menu covers the globe, and there is something that will satisfy everyone's taste buds. I normally pop in for dinner, but this day, I stopped in for lunch. I ordered the Italian Duck Grilled Cheese with goat cheese. It was the perfect amount of food for a quick lunch. I do wish there had been more basil aioli and fig jam, but it was tasty nonetheless. If you stop in for dinner, I highly recommend the Sea Flower Shrimp and Sugar Pie for dessert. They also have such a fun variety of drinks and weekly specials. The service is always fast, and the servers are always lovely. Whether you're visiting Lincoln to ski, hike, or mountain bike, a stop at the Gypsy Cafe is a must! read more

Gypsy Cafe - Italian Duck Grilled Cheese - New American Near Me - Lincoln, New Hampshire

Here for dinner hours! We needed to try this place after some deep research on its unique taste of different cultural foods~ it's a mix of Asian, American, and Mexican foods (might be missing another culture) with a twist and some vegan/veggie options~ The atmosphere and vibes are "chill" and a place to bring a group of friends for drinks. The decor is so trippy and cool. It's mosaic of letters, flowers, disco, with some faux cactus, and mosaic tables~ my complaint is the small ants appearing out of nowhere. TBH, I was a bit creeped by ants, and it was a nuisance, but after a couple sips of my margarita, I didn't care~ these margaritas are mostly alcohol which is worth your $$~ if I had just one more, I'd be ready to party ~ very enjoyable~ For appetizers, we shared a fondue, which consisted of mini cheese sandwiches with a pot of sweet and tangy warmed sauce. I couldn't pinpoint what it was because it tasted like a mix of tamarind, bbq, and sweet and sour. Delicious and worth the order. Loved every piece! For my dish, I ordered the chicken Thai salad which was delicious~ the dressing came on the side which was wonderful because I like my salad dry (very controversial I know). Everything was delicious but standard salad wise. My partner ordered the sword fish Indonesian, and it was delicious~ it has peanut sauce noodles and the sword fish was good~ very heavy, but delicious. Service was prompt and luckily, we weren't waiting and there was no line because we arrived at dinner opening of 5pm. I lifted very satisfied! read more

4.5 stars: A Hidden Gem with Global Flavors and Exceptional Service While visiting Lincoln for skiing, we were thrilled to discover Gypsy Cafe, a true hidden gem. From the moment you walk in, the experience is delightful. The service is friendly and attentive, with the staff going out of their way to provide recommendations and ensure a great dining experience. The menu is the next pleasant surprise. It offers a curated selection of dishes inspired by cuisines from around the world. While not overly extensive, it includes something for everyone--from a classic burger to Thai curry, Argentine fajitas, and Greek salad. Whether you're a meat lover or vegan, there's a dish for you. Prices are very reasonable, with dishes around $15 and portions that are generous. The food we tried wasn't the best we've ever had, but it was flavorful and satisfying, especially for the price. When combined with the exceptional service, it makes Gypsy Cafe a must-try. If you're in Lincoln, Gypsy Cafe is a fantastic choice for a unique, welcoming dining experience with global flavors and great value. My Criteria: 5 stars: The best food I have ever had, or an excellent option given the price. 4 stars: Good food, a restaurant I look forward to trying again. 3 stars: Good food, a restaurant that I am indifferent to. 2 stars: Below average experience, will not go again. 1 star: This restaurant should be closed. read more

Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. We were seated pretty quickly and the service was quick and nice. Pretty decor. We got the Brussel sprouts, mezza plate, and the smashed gyro plate. The hummus was the highlight of the meal. I'd like a little more seasoning. So 4 stars for the food and five stars for the service read more

Artistic colorful decor. Nachos and the soup of the day were very good. I loved the wide variety of dishes with influences from around the world. Definitely a great place for healthier options. Lots of vegetables and salads, too. I would have eaten here more often had I discovered it earlier. read more

We recently had some chimney work done and the owner wanted to thank us by eating here. We have been going to the Gypsy for over a decade and it remains consistently good. The service is professional and the food is always varied and well prepared. The full bar offers top shelf labels as well; in other words, a pleasant dining experience in Linwood. My Korean chicken stir fry was tasty and filling; worth having again for sure. Unfortunately, no room for dessert. read more

The reviews led me here. Service was good. It's always amusing to me when people find it odd that you come to a restaurant and you're eating alone. This should be normalized as there are many solo travelers all over even if you might not see them where you live. Anyways...... As an appetizer, I got the curried kale salad, which was recommended by the waiter. Because it's kale, I had very low expectations. But surprisingly, it turned out to be quite tasty. Rating: 4.5/5 I got Thai Red Curry Duck as an entree. The peanut-based sauce was where all the flavor was. The duck by itself was bland but cooked tender and maybe a little rare. It was a little chewy. The rice was cooked right and had some flavor. The asparagus was cooked just fine. Overall, the meal was pretty good but I got tired of it halfway through. I think the dish had a little too much duck for me or maybe it was because I was getting full. Rating: 3.5/5 I was full by the time I was done with my last few bites. Shouldn't have ordered a beverage beyond water. read more

The Gypsy Cafe is right in the heart of Lincoln, NH. We stayed at the Holiday Inn down the street with plans to do some hiking in the area. The restaurant has a pretty nice menu, mostly Mediterranean type dishes. I had the Australian lamb chops for my main entree. It was on the specials menu and was very tasty. We also had their hummus appetizer which was very good. It comes with hummus, Baba ghanoush, olives, feta cheese, Tzatziki sauce and pita points. Great appetizer...baba ghanoush was a little on the oily side but tasted pretty good. For dessert, we had the salted caramel lava cake...to die for! Overall, solid four star restaurant with five star service and comfortable atmosphere. If you're in Lincoln, the Gypsy Cafe is a solid choice. Enjoy! read more

The vide was great . Good design and mosiac.The food is also unique and yummy. Highly recommend the fondue.hidden gem.

I honestly wish I could give Gypsy Cafe zero stars. My family -- including my 3-year-old child and my wife, who is currently recovering from cancer -- came in hoping for a relaxing meal. We ended up spending nearly $300 on food and drinks. We ordered appetizers, entrees, and multiple beverages, and we were still actively eating and drinking when the owner approached our table. Instead of checking on our experience, she told us we needed to leave because she had another party waiting for our table. We were stunned. Our plates weren't finished. Our drinks were still full. My toddler was still eating. My wife, who has been through more than enough physically and emotionally, was just trying to enjoy a normal family night out on her birthday . And yet we were rushed out mid-meal so they could seat someone else. There was no apology, no compassion, and no effort to handle the situation professionally. After spending that kind of money, being treated as if we were disposable the moment another party showed up was incredibly disrespectful. Restaurants get busy -- we understand that. But forcing a family, especially one with a young child and someone recovering from a serious illness, to leave before they've even finished their meal is unacceptable. We left feeling embarrassed, frustrated, and honestly pretty hurt. We will not be returning, and I would strongly encourage others to consider whether this is the kind of place they want to support. read more

My family went here for lunch Cute place until they brought me a cheeseburger vs hamburger AND Waitress "you said cheeseburger" No I never do because I can't eat cheese She brings me a new burger so fast, I questioned it ~ I cut into the food only to find they had removed the cheese and placed new bacon and gave it back to me There was still cheese on the meat I didn't want to embarrass my family so I walked the plate to the bar and told the bar tender that it appeared they just removed the cheese placed new bacon and gave the food back to me I explained the reason I didny want cheese Her response " I'm so sorry they did that" so I assume she knew alone with the waitress Shame on you all I returned to my table I was livid, honestly where is the pride ?? It is what you do when no one is looking that matters ~ what else do they do to the food ? If that wasn't enough some CUSTOMERS walked in and the host said "you need to wait in the front to not block the entry" and kicks the door open because her hands were full ~ no could you - would you please The customers left When we left ~ no have a good day ~ no thank you nothing What a pitiful situation and horrible manners Go to any cafe across from the donut shop. Trust me 0/10 No stars Don't waste your hard earned money Angela ~ Louisiana read more

Horrible service. We waited 20 minutes just to place an order that we had to flag the waiter down to take, and after sitting there for a full hour, were told that the waiter didn't put our order in. To add insult to injury, we asked for extra cheese for the nachos and were charged $1.50. Incompetent and unacceptable. I'm honestly shocked that reviews are positive here. At least 3 other families were upset and/or complaining as well. Not sure if they're understaffed or under-trained but it was a horrible experience. read more

The service was very subpar. the water refill service was nonexistent, which was surprising given how hot it was indoors. waitress was quick about taking our orders but rarely seen afterwards. food was good, but slow, maybe a staffing issue. not sure if it's worth it given the above. read more

Found this place through Yelp after visiting Franconia Notch. This one is tough to review. In one word, it was "eclectic." I went with the chicken souvlaki. It wasn't anything special; some extra lettuce in the pita sandwich would have been nice. The prices were reasonable and the portion size was neither too big nor too small. read more

Lamb chili was excellent. We also Had the nachos which was great as you can get a half size. The lemon tomato shrimp was too sweet. We both ordered and were underwhelmed. The shrimp piri piri was the best. Please bring that back to the menu!! Every time we go we hear "it's sometimes available if you ask" but hasn't been the time we did. I enjoy coming here though as the menu has some nice options. read more

Was seated promptly, and then left exactly 1/2 hour without any further attention from the staff. I watched 2 other tables seated after us receiving their waters and also sodas , drinks etc. This continued for the rest of the evening, our waiter had absolutely no idea what he was doing and we kept watching groups that arrived well after we did , receiving their apps and main courses. Being in Lincoln Nh i keep my food expectations lower than when in Boston area. The food was about average , about equal to a 99 or any random suburban chain restaurant. My " Argentinian fajita platter " was exactly the same as any standard Fajita from a corporate chain Mexican restaurant. The Jamaican jerk pork chop dinner tasted like a hungry man TV dinner . I would not return . read more

Great place to hang out at the bar and socialize. Excellent cocktails and the food is amazing!

Cozy, cute, and eclectically decorated restaurant that serves food inspired by different cultures. Come here if you want to eat unique and interesting dishes. Everything we had was very good. The chicken wings were great with the seasame dry dip. The seaflower shrimp was cooked perfectly, and the pasta was full of flavor. The falafel was light and healthy with a good crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. read more

My friend and I dropped in for dinner after a long hike in the area. The service was quick and very friendly. Very friendly! The ambiance was very cute and artistic. I have an adventerous spirit with wonderlust and wanted to eat here for years. The sign about global food was so enticing. For appitizers, we shared a fried sweet potato balls which were excellent. They were great and the highlight of the meal. He ordered a stir fry while I ordered the Thai Salad. I love Thai Salad - I had Som Tam yesterday. A big bowl of shredded vegetables with peanuts and a vingar base sauce. Yum! I also enjoy fusion food from the area too. And this one was not Som Tam - it came with mangos and pickled vegetables. SIGN ME UP! You choose the protein and I choose chicken. Well, I am not sure why the salad was named Thai Salad and left me underwhelmed. All the ingredients were fresh and well cooked. But the salad reminded me of a ceasar salad (without the crutons and cheese) than anything Asian. Very American salad dressing. Big leafs of iceburg lettuce (or romane?). 4 mango slices that were thin and were not fully ripe. A few pickles. There was nothing asian about it at all. And it would have been much better with crutons and cheese. The mangos and pickles were not forward enough to compete with the salad dressing. My friend was happy with his stir fry. I thought it was okay. When Im back in the area, I will give this place another shot and maybe try their falafel and hummus. read more

We don't get up to Lincoln much so I researched as I know a lot has changed since I'd been up there. What a surprise to find this!! And it's been around awhile! The menu was filled with variety, we wanted it all. The peanut noodles were perfect, the shrimp were very good. The duck grilled cheese was awesome, amazing bread. They should skip those awful chips though. Sprouts were paired with the perfect dipping sauce. My only issue was our server. She was very friendly but didn't keep up with beverages. Most tables around us needed drinks. Drinks are a money maker!! read more
