I am not quite sure what the difference between homey Turkish food and what is not. I am going to…read moreassume homey entails more focus on the food and ingredients rather than the presentation and other things. One glance at this place and it certainly looks homey if not rather like a one pot, buffet, fast food kind of style. There was counter full of prepared food in the back and you can pick and choose your meal from thy selection. No there's nothing created here a la minute but the price kind of reflects that. While I can't comment on the authenticity of the food, I can say without a doubt it is tasty...for the most part. Everything does indeed taste "homey" as every dish is sort of a mis-mash of different vegetables and meats in a consistent sauce. By that I mean most of the dishes have similar sauces a tastes quite similar despite it having different ingredients. The rice is a nicely prepared with fantastic texture and just the right amount of squeakiness to them all the while still soft and pillowy. The chicken is sightly dry but very nicely compensated with the great sauce that it's bathed in. Sadly this meal wasn't quite as memorable as I had hope for. Unlike the Turkish cuisines I have had in the past there wasn't one or more dishes I would recommend of you must order. Everything tastes good -- like a every day good kind of meal mom used to prepare.

tl;dr: Delicious lamb shawarma (wraps). Huge portion size. Falafels made fresh to order. They add…read moreextra dollop of sauce if you're eating in-house. How I got here: I was walking down the streets of Lutherstadt Wittenberg with my friend, on the way back after spending the afternoon shopping in the local mall. I told my friend, I was craving a good Shawarma and she suggested this new place that had great Falafel wraps. That's how we ended up at Al Rayyan. = Ambience: It's a small place with seats outside. We were greeted by a smiling man behind the counter. We ordered at the counter. Saw as our order was made and took a seat outside with our steaming hot wraps. Food: My friend ordered a Falafel shawarma (wrap) and I got the lamb one. The falafels were made after she ordered so when they came out they were steaming hot! It looked delicious and I regret not ordering a side of falafel for myself. The sheared the lamb from the döner, put the shawarma bread on the pan and then started to lay out the meat on it. I chose garlic sauce on my shawarma. There were other options as well. It comes with lettuce, onions, tomato, chili and other sauces. You can choose to add or remove as per your liking. The size of the wrap is huge! We ordered to eat in house and they added a dollop of sauce on the top (Yumm!!!) You don't get this if you order to-go so if you're planning to walk around and eat, I'd suggest ordering to eat and then walking off with your wraps. I had a bite from my friends Falafel wrap and the falafels were crispy and flavorful. I left with my craving satisfied. As I am writing this, the photo and the thought of it makes my mouth water. I guess I know, what I'm having for dinner!
