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!

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!

Ordering is simple - you walk up to the counter, order your plate, pay, and wait till it's prepared. We've tried the Halloumi-Falafel plate which came with 6 (!) falafel balls, a good amount of hummus, pickled vegetables, and bread+yogurt dip upfront. For 5 Euro - that's something you can't beat. The place was packed indoors/outdoors around lunch time, make sure to get here early.

We walked in and got seated immediately. Looking through the menu, I realized, to my dismay, this restaurant didn't serve what I was looking for. Whatever, I was hungry, and we both wound up ordering the menu item closest to the Doener Kebab. Unfortunately, I don't remember what it's called, but it's very similar to a gyro, but instead of pita, the fillings are wrapped in their bread that's baked in a tandoori oven (Tandur Brot). The filling...omg, it was DELICIOUS. At first, I thought it was so good because I was hungry. Nope, whatever combination of spices they use to flavor the meat is a wonderful one. Every single bite was flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and well-balanced with the lettuce, onions, cucumbers, tomatoes wrapped into what looked like a super-skinny burrito/taco. Cost including a bottle of water? About 5 euros. Good deal and am totally coming back here when I go and visit Berlin again.

They got this lunch special offers, it's different everyday. That's kinda nice. If you didn't find anything on the special offers, there are still some other thing on the menu which cost around the same price. I went there as a big group, around 7-10 people. We made the reservation before. That's why we could have a decent table at the lunch break. I ordered that grill chicken leg. It was quite good. And they gave me a soup for appetiser. I got no idea what is in it. But taste quite good and special. It is great place to have lunch with group of people. The place was completely full when I was there. It seem to be really popular place in Kotti. After the meal, you have to get to the cashier desk to pay, so don't just sit there and wait. If you looking for a quiet place to have a meal, this place probably not the one you are looking for. It is bit noisy here. But if you just want to try some good middle eastern food, this is one of place you should give it a try.

The falafels were fried to order, which I appreciate. After the falafels were ready, the gentleman working put them in a wrap and then went to the bar of vegetables and toppings in front of me. He added hummus, cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, and I think a spicy mustard. After he finished stuffing the wrap, he rolled it up and placed it on a grill press for a few minutes. My falafel wrap was delicious and full of flavors and textures! Starting with crunchy! It had a big crunch from the grilled wrap. Then I got the added crunch from the falafel. It was then followed by the smooth and savory hummus. The vegetables were a perfect addition. Extra: Vegan options Open late - 3 am! A few seats inside Outdoor seating available It was authentic, inexpensive, fresh, fast, and they were open late! My falafel wrap was the best late night snack that didn't make me feel guilty or bloated the next day. Also, the service was good too! The gentleman working was kind and had great energy. We chatted for a little, it was really nice. I wish him the best of luck. If you're in the area, I highly suggest stopping by.

A very generous sampling of food. I was so eager to get something other than goulash, sausages and snitzel in me. The kebab was okay. The lahmajun bread was off - not thin and crispy. The sampler appetizers were basically a bunch of dips - no real apps there. Overall it was so disappointing. A huge red flag was that they didn't have any tursu or pickles. Pickles are a staple of turkish cuisine. How they could omit this very important element of salt and sour from their table was downright offensive to me.
