I ordered the "falafel box" which was pretty much a small sampler of all their vegetarian items on a small plate for 4€ (includes three falafel balls). Everything tasted fresh and very good - I was very happy with the meal for the cheap price. There's actually like 5+ falafel places right next to each other in this area. I've only tried Falafelstern and Kimo (the restaurant literally next door also serving falafel). I would definitely recommend Falafelstern over Kimo for better tasting falafel and sides.

I recall seeing a veggie empanada on the menu; a bit skeptical on trying that one. I had the falafel teller. Its 5 pieces of falafel, vegetables, hummus and you can get pita bread if you like. The falafel was excellent. The hummus however definitely lacking and not too high on my list of hummus had. It did however work with the falafel but eating it with the bread wasn't satisfying. Definitely come for the falafel though. 7 euros for this is a pretty damn good deal

I like that they cook the meat/cheese/falafel to order so everything is fresh. Yes it takes longer than shaving it off a spit but if you have 4 mins to spare this is awesome. Lots of flavor, and lots of toppings on the plates and in the roll-ups. Lettuce, cabbage, hummus, carrots, tabbouleh, lentils, potatoes, sauces, tomatoes, etc. First meal I had was the shwarma teller and second was the halloumi teller to which I added 2 merguez sausages. The only disappointing thing was the halloumi cheese was really thinly sliced and became dry and brittle in the deep frier. For the portions and variety the price is maybe a little too low - 4 euro for the small plates. The people working here are also really nice. I think we'll be back frequently since we live in the neighborhood!

If the lamb is on special and you are an eater of lamb, I implore you to take it. This is the…read morereasoning I used and left highly sated in terms of red meat levels and happiness factor. The service was lovely, especially in regards to keeping wine glasses full, explaining the menu (going the extra kilometer to explain in english the specials), providing quick translations and overall just being very pleasant and excited about the experience. My lamb with veggies in a mint/thyme sauce was elegantly plated and the taste surely matched the looks. A medium portion, just enough to fill up but not be overly full. The cinnamon rice I snagged from across the table was also quite a treat...savory sweet. We had a range of appetizers, the standouts being the falafel and the red beet paste. The dipping sauces for the bread were a bit bland, and the other starters quite small (more like tapas, but smaller) so a bit hard to split amongst the group easily. A lovely dinner for our group of 7. Half German, half American. All happy. *reservations suggested. *cash or German EC only. Total: 200 euros with tip. Not bad at all for the quality and panache of the evening.

The main problem is, that the food really lacks authenticity and yet it comes at a quite high price for what it is.

As a real Hamburg Docker I'll give you a heads up and recommend looking for another Syrian/Lebanese place to eat.

In Germany you have several spots where you can find Dönerbuden - small little, mostly Turkish…read moreplaces, where you can get Döner (a pita filled with lamb or chicken meat). Normally i would eat those around the main station in hamburg. But this time i took the chance to try a spot way out of the Turkish comfort scene. In Osdorf. As i know the turks don't need any MSG to give their food any taste, so i always enjoy an original place like this. And i was absolut delighted. a modern restaurant with very friendly guys. and good food, i had the Grill Platte it would translate to mixed bbq/grill plate. and i had to try the chicken döner and the falafel. Start with the bad one, the falafel wasn't good at all, try and i can tell it wasn't made fresh, i would say it was frozen stuff. The Chicken Döner was just perfect and fresh. And the mixed grill perfect. But it took them a lot of time to prepare the mixed grill. This is - of course different - to the hot spot in the Citycenter. But after all, i was absolut surprised to find this spot with friendly guys and good food that fare away from a Turkish neighbour hood. After the dinner i had a turkish tea, i had to pay for it - in the city this tea is mainly on the house. but thats ok. They earned there four stars! Normalerweise sind die besten Dönerbuden ja im Türkenviertel, in Hamburg zum Beispiel in Alton, der Schanze oder am Hamburger Hauptbahnhof. Aber diesmal war ich in Osdorf und hungrig. Da ich weis das Türken nichts von Geschmachsverstärker halten und es auch nicht nötig haben, kann ich immer unbedenklich Döner essen. Ich bestelle eine Grill Platte. Es hat wahnsinnig lange gedauert (obwohl nichts los war) bevor die gekommen ist, aber das warten hat sich gelohnt. Perfect auf den Punkt gegart und türkisch leckere Aromen. Danach einen Hähnchen Mini Döner nur um zu sehen wie der schmeckt (denn es war kein Dönerfleisch auf der Grillplatte), auch der war wirklich superlecker. Und da ich in letzter Zeit ein echter Fanatiker von guten Falafeln geworden bin wollte ich die probieren. Toll ist das die die wirklich einzeln verkaufen. Schade nur das die nicht schmecken, trocken und sicherlich fertig gekauft und nicht frisch wie bei anderen Falafalläden. Aber generell alles in allem ein guter score mit vier Sternen weil sehr gemütlich und nettes team. Achja beendet habe ich das Menü mit einem türkischen tea der einfach immer lecker zum Abschluss ist, schön malzig stark. Am Hauptbahnhof werde ich normalerweise zu einem Glas eingeladen, hier musste der bezahlt werden. Nun wenn es keine Konkurrenz an der nächsten Tür gibt dann ist das wohl so ;-). Wäre nachdem ich drei Produkte gegessen habe einfach nett gewesen, aber die Jungs hinter der Theke waren es ansonsten auf jeden Fall. Klare Empfehlung, kann man hingehen - solltest Du auch, wenn es dich mal nach Osdorf verschlägt. Klar: extra herfahren muss man dafür nicht.

I've ordered the large falalplatter here twice, which for 5.50 euro comes with a large variety and decent quantity of food. The falafel is decent tasting, and five balls are included. There's also a basket provided with a few pieces of flat pita. Kimo does have more choices and a less fast-food feeling, but I'd still go to Falafelstern hands-down because I find the falafel and other ingredients much tastier.
