After a brief discussion, he made the chef decision to bring us out appetizers, slow cooked lamb over onions, and chicken preceded by a host of sauces. I am an avid meat eater, but the food was so flavorful that we all forgot the first course was vegetarian. Ambiance, 4 Hospitality, 5 Food, 5 Price 4 Definitely worth visiting!

On a bright and hot Sunday, I found this place at a time I was in desperate need of a meal and…read moreshade. This restaurant looked inviting and smelled heavenly, so I wandered inside. I seated myself at a table, and someone brought me a menu promptly. It was quite hefty, showing that this place had more options than what you could see at the grab and go counter in the front. It is all in German, so English speakers be prepared, but other than that it was easy to navigate and had many options for all palates. I ordered the falafel teller (plate) and a water, and while I was waiting and small basket of pita bread (very thin) was brought to my table. When my meal arrived, the falafel was very hot, obviously fried fresh, and the sesame dip was splendid with it. My simple side salad was also very refreshing, as I was still hot from exploring the castle ruins that morning. I highly recommend this place to anyone in Heidelberg. Whether you want a quick snack or a sit down meal, this place will have you covered. It is also very reasonably priced compared to everything around as well!

WOW. 5 Stars for a fabulous Lebanese restaurant that delivered on flavor, texture, authenticity,…read moreand location. I love visiting Heidelberg when I'm in Germany and walking through the streets imagining I am a college student at a gorgeous European campus of the oldest university in Germany. We saw this highly rated spot while walking along the cobblestone streets and decided to stop for food. We ordered the mixed plate which featured babaganoush, hummus, falafel (donut shaped), potatoes, eggplant, roasted cauliflower, salad, spinach pastry, and cheese pastry. When I tell you were could not stop raving about each and every aspect of this dish, I am not exaggerating. I legitimately think the people at the table next to us got annoyed at these overly animated Americans. I will dream about these donut-shaped falafels as there is nothing like them where I live (so so far away). We also opted for a glass of Lebanese dry white wine, which was super crisp and pleasant. Overall, a must-try when in Heidelberg. I wish I had been able to take some more to-go- especially since we saw that that they have convenient lunch-box style offerings for the college students.

I actually liked the food more than my 3 stars, but the "service" was bad.. In fact, there was no…read moreservice! The guy at behind the desk was super rude and basically looked like and sounded like he'd rather that we left again, so he didn't have to talk to us or look at us.. But the food is great! I liked it a lot! I had falafel with Baba ghanoush (6€) and a large mixed salad (7.5€).. It would've been enough food for 2 (if you're not too hungry).. both dishes came with bread.. My friends had a mixed platter (7.5€) - looked very nice, too!!

This place isn't spectacular but they have good Arabic food at reasonable prices. The reason I'm giving 3 stars is that the service was quite rude and it wasn't particularly clean or comfortable.
