Once you find a table, got to the host stand, place your order and pay and then wait for bliss. I kept it simple: the chicken shawarma plate. It was a large portion with an awesomely crisp sandwich, thinly sliced and juicy chicken, a pomegranate sauce on the side, small salad, and french fries - with mayonnaIse, of course, because this is Europe. I washed it down with a Fanta orange and left into the night, happy and full and glad to support a community that has faced so much adversity on their journey to Germany. This is a great choice for an affordable and excellent meal.

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!

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.

The portions are quite small so it is a great chance to order several and share in the middle. We were disappointed by the rice and lentils with caramelized onions and also by the mushroom dish.

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.

Good place to have Schawarma for take away, that's it. Let…read moreme start with the cons this time: The place has no comfy atmosphere at all, the colors they choose for place decoration is weird and not cool + not a tidy clean place in general and the toilets are awful. Also be careful, never ever even think of eating inside there in winter, somehow the heating system is always off and it becomes crazy freezing freakin cold (maybe they don't have any heating system at all). About the food i tried most of their dishes, the Schawarma as i mentioned is really good but unfortunately only the Schawarma stands out to me there, all other dishes were bellow average; from soggy bread to fries that has zero taste (no spices) and not so fresh vegetables to oily greasy chicken escalope. in a nutshell, go there, buy Schawarma, pay, bye bye and go home eat it there.

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!

The food tastes good but doesn't photograph well. Start with the garbanzo bean/chickpea soup (German: kicherersensuppe), it is really wonderful with a tomato-based broth and is served with fresh bread. Salamat plate (#27), is vegetarian and has a few really special items including Kobba (a rice and potato filled dumpling), and a pastilla (German: pastille) phyllo dough rolled and filled with feta and herbs. I can't explain this but the halloumi here is really delicious, more so then other restaurants.
