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.

I think my review is probably going to be redundant. After…read morethe full star reviews and the wonderful photos, what does a true Yelper do? Locate the place and order the most recommended dish. 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!

Definitely not bad! I ordered the rice with chicken for an early Monday lunch. It came out after a…read moreminutes of waiting - a mound of steaming flavored rice with cooked chicken, some carrots, cauliflower, and broccoli, and generous sides of salad. However, they forgot to give me my bread (which the menu said came with the meal), but I wasn't super bothered by it since the portions were so huge. I would definitely go back for a second meal!

2.50 Euro for a Shawarma? Definitely the cheapest I've ever paid the Moroccan chicken/veggie wrap…read more Little that I know... you get what you pay for. Pretty flavorless, and the bread was not even warm. Pretty much a no-go for a Shawarma. On the other hand, you can't beat their prices. I recommend going for a "Teller" (plate) instead, the portions are bigger and you'll pay around 6 Euro. The crowd can be questionable here, likely due to the fact that Goerlitzer Park is closeby. If you want better quality and a nicer environment try out nearby Baraka, otherwise this place will do.

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.

I grew up in the middle east, and I absolutely love Hummus. I have eaten Hummus in so many…read moredifferent places, both in Berlin and back home, and I swear that this is the world's best Hummus. I have taken many people to eat there with me and so many of my friends agree, both Middle Easterners as well as Europeans and Americans. I go there almost every week, sometimes twice or three times. Ask for a plate of Ful, it's a warm stew of whole and mashed chick peas mixed with Tahini and Fava beans. the default plwte of ful is mixed with Yoghurt, so if you're a Vegan like me- ask for "Ful Nabati" and they'll know that you want it without the Yoghurt, and it's still F*cking amazing. 5 Stars. Also try their freshly baked Flatbread, with Za'atar (Arabic mix of thyme, sesame and spices), and you can also get them with Tomato and onion, or with cheese or meat. The staff is really nice, the manager is the chef and his two brothers will bake the fresh and delicious Flatbread right in front of your eyes.

They only have a few items on the menu which is always a good sign. They make their "pizzas" fresh and they are just wonderful, you can also have them with cheese but I would definitely recommend thyme. The fatteh and hummus are served with a plate of cut up onions, pickles, tomatos, olives and mint, and they don't skimp, you get a full plate! You also get (packaged, not fresh) flat bread. For everything we opnly paid 12€ which is as cheap as it can get for some delicious food, with the plate of veggies and the bread included. Definitely recommend if you're in for a quick brunch or lunch, don't mind a super simple ambience and are tight on a budget. You will definitely leave with a full belly!
