Everything in the platter was delicious, but the falafel in particular was out of this world!!! It was so different from the falafels I'm used to. It's crunchy on the outside.

Al-Andalos is located in the busy part of Neukölln, right on Sonnenallee. On a Saturday night at 10 p.m., it was full to the rim. No seats, stressed out staff, people fight for seats and the spot in the line to get the delicious food. We ordered the Al-Andalos platter for two (meat) for 11 EUR, which comes with an entire package of Arabic/Lebanese bread. We were barely able to finish the entire plate, there are many tasty things on this plate and even my companion that night, who is generally not so quickly to impress, admitted that it was probably the best he has eaten in a long time. Fresh, tasty, large portions and fair prices. Staff is super friendly and attentive! I think I will have to drive out to Neukölln more often!

It may sound strange at first but it provided a complimentary flavor that was both salty and even a little sweet. Initially I was hesitant and a little disappointed that it was a peanut sauce and not hummus, as soon as I took the first bite I was beyond satisfied. We took our sandwiches to go, but had we stayed there couldn't have been much room. It's a very small restaurant with only a few tables. You walk in and are overwhelmed with the smell of freshly baked pita and different spices. The tiles in the kitchen add a nice color to the tiny space. Highly recommend this hidden gem!! PS: it's cash only!

They don't have a run of the mill kebab menu either, they have a wide variety of hummus and Lebanese specialty dishes as well as these awesome little pizzas.

I have taken many people to eat there with me and so many of my friends agree, both Middle Easterners as well as Europeans and Americans. I go there almost every week, sometimes twice or three times. Ask for a plate of Ful, it's a warm stew of whole and mashed chick peas mixed with Tahini and Fava beans. the default plwte of ful is mixed with Yoghurt, so if you're a Vegan like me- ask for "Ful Nabati" and they'll know that you want it without the Yoghurt, and it's still F*cking amazing. 5 Stars. Also try their freshly baked Flatbread, with Za'atar (Arabic mix of thyme, sesame and spices), and you can also get them with Tomato and onion, or with cheese or meat. The staff is really nice, the manager is the chef and his two brothers will bake the fresh and delicious Flatbread right in front of your eyes.

We came here for some…read morebrunch and ordered the Fatteh, the hummus and two thyme-pizzas (zataar flatbread), the fatteh was amazing especially with the crispy bread-chips on top and the hummus was good as well although not the best one I ever had. They only have a few items on the menu which is always a good sign. They make their "pizzas" fresh and they are just wonderful, you can also have them with cheese but I would definitely recommend thyme. The fatteh and hummus are served with a plate of cut up onions, pickles, tomatos, olives and mint, and they don't skimp, you get a full plate! You also get (packaged, not fresh) flat bread. For everything we opnly paid 12€ which is as cheap as it can get for some delicious food, with the plate of veggies and the bread included. Definitely recommend if you're in for a quick brunch or lunch, don't mind a super simple ambience and are tight on a budget. You will definitely leave with a full belly!

I remember what Al-Safa looked like when I moved into this neighborhooddim fluorescent lighting, stark white walls, no real seating area, looked something like a betting parlour. Since the renovation, the portions have gotten a little less generous, but you do have to know what to order. When I'm really hungry, I'll order a Schawarma- or Al-Safa Teller and there is no way I'm walking out of there not feeling full. Even though the place has changed a lot, and the annoying culture tourists that are constantly there dissuade me from ever eating in the restaurant, it's always a solid place to pick up a yummy falafel or schawarma and not be disappointed.

Don't miss their 'Arabi' shawarma platters (see photo). They're delicious and come with a side of fries, garlic/tahini sauce, and salad.
