Recommended by an Arabic friend, Shawarma Albaik did not disappoint! Come here for Syrian style…read moreshawarma. It was delicious! The shawarma just had meat and sauce inside so you can also get a plate of pickles to compliment the sandwiches if you like! Nice Arabic music is blasting inside so it can be a bit difficult to hear each other when ordering. There is outside seating if inside is too loud. Looking forward to coming back!

Syrians have finally arrived in Berlin's culinary scene, and Syrian Shawarma is finally here…read more Now before you judge this as just another Shawarma joint, Syrian Shawarma is actually a bit different from the predominantly Lebanese variant around the city. Unlike the Lebanese variant, the Shawrma is prepared inside thin crispy bread, and the sandwich is purely made of meat/chicken and condiments and no salad, which helps one focus on the taste of Shawarma. Don't miss their 'Arabi' shawarma platters (see photo). They're delicious and come with a side of fries, garlic/tahini sauce, and salad.

I've hear from three independent sources, that Shaam is the BEST place in Berlin to get Shawarma…read more Since moving to be Berlin, I've been several times and have had delicious experiences each time. Whether you are looking to gorge yourself on a Chicken Shawarma Plate piled high with veggies and French fries, or want a lighter option like Veggie Falafel, Shaam has something for you. Order at the counter (the gentleman will usually give you a falafel as an appetizer if you have to wait in line) then find a seat. After your meal, have a cup of tea. Mix the tea with hot water to your liking and add some sugar. The best aperitif after a large meal.

I came here for lunch, but was told they do not serve lunch until 1PM, so ordered breakfast…read moreinstead. Breakfast items were limited and in smaller quantities. I got Syrian sausages, hummus, and muhammara. Syrian sausage was a flavorful sweet sausage. Hummus was creamy. Pita bread did not taste fresh (1 star off). Muhammara was pretty acidic, probably a tad much on the vinegar (1 star off). I also ordered a stuffed eggplant, but it turned out to be an acidic vinegar artichoke and tomato dip, so not sure if something was lost in translation. There was no English menu, so it was certainly possible. They gave me a free side of pickles...wow, they sure like to use vinegar!

Excellent find my first time trying authentic Syrian cuisine. We were looking at the menu and the…read moreowner was there to help explain it and make some recommendations. She was very nice and helpful. We learned that she has a cookbook published. I tried the kibbeh, a fried meat ball filled with nuts and spices and another one with dough and cheese. I had the eggplant with beef tomato stew and the other dish was a chicken one. I tried the house made ayran (salty yogurt drink) and it was the best I had! This is all in a food court and easy casual dining. I was very happy to try it and would go back.

Maroush is a tiny restaurant offering an affordable menu of casual Lebanese food. The Maroush…read morePlatter came with literally some of everything they offered: kofta (ground beef kebab), shish taouk (chicken kebab), makanik (Lebanese beef sausage), chicken shawarma carved from a rotating spit, fried vegetables (eggplant, cauliflower, zucchini, fries), falafel, halloumi, tabbouleh, grape leaves stuffed with rice, salad, pickles, hummus, toum, and spicy chili sauce, along with two rounds of pita. Everything was drizzled with tahini, which added an unctuous, earthy flavor to every bite, and while everything on the platter was delicious, I especially liked the flavors added by the toum and chili sauce. The seating here was extremely limited, but the value and the flavors of the food definitely made up for the lack of atmosphere!
