Restaurant Phoenicia is a place of contrasts. On the inside is a high-end, classy dining room…read morefeaturing white tablecloths and live music. And on the outside are a bunch of tables occupied by hookah smokers. But the one feature common throughout the restaurant were the delicious plates of Lebanese food going to all the different tables. My favorite part of any Lebanese meal are the mezze dishes. Forget the kebabs and mains--I prefer making a meal just out of these delicious dips and starters! So it was perfect that Phoenicia offered two different mezze mix plates--one with 8 cold mezzes, one with 8 warm mezzes. On the cold plate came tabbouleh (parsley salad), waraq enab (rice wrapped in grape leaves), hummus, muhammara, makdous (eggplant cured in oil), moussaka (eggplant cooked with tomato), hindbeh (cooked dandelion greens) topped with fried onions, and pickled cucumbers/radishes. The warm plate came with fattoush salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, radishes, peppers, pita chips), makanek (Lebanese sausages), jawaneh dajaj (chicken wings), toum (creamy garlic spread), falafels with tahini, and three different kinds of filled pastries (sambousek): ground lamb, spinach, and my favorite, two feta cheese rolls. Every item on both of the mezze plates was fresh and delicious, and the dips went especially nicely with the rounds of freshly-baked pita bread that came on the side!

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!

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!

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!
