The menu includes lots of options around the Middle Eastern favourites of houmous (a whole range of options) and tahini, but with lots of less familiar dishes (to me at least) with fish and meat covered in rich sauces. Vegetarians and (particularly) vegans are well catered for - so much so that the menu lists vegan options rather than vegetarian. I chose the falafel plate, with four large falafels, tahini and four salads. My partner chose the Shakshuka with beef sausages, set in a rich tomato and pepper stew, with tomato salad, both served with pitta, olives and gherkins. The portions were good and filling, and we're glad we hadn't ordered starters. That said, other diners were happily polishing off platefuls of both. Meat and fish mains can be served with rice or fries. Our meals with two beers came to €35, which seemed like good value. Friendly and reasonably swift service. We shall return.

You order and pay at the counter and they give you a beeper so you know when the food is ready. When it goes off, you go back up to the counter to get your food, condiments, etc. there's ample seating indoors with a few tables outside as well. I got the koshary, my husband got a falafel sandwich, and we split sakalans for dessert. There was also a big bowl of a hot sauce/spicy condiment near the water station by the counter and, of course, I had to try it. The wait for our food wasn't long at all, but it seemed we had just beat the rush. The koshary here is the best I've ever had! It wasn't lacking in anything and it came out hot! The sauce was plentiful and the flavor warm and inviting. The chickpeas were perfect cooked and the fried onions were super crispy and tasty, not at all bitter! The hot sauce was actually spicy, but also went really well the koshary in terms of flavor. My husband's sandwich was loaded and he really enjoyed it. He had gotten it wrapped to go in anticipation of not finishing it, but he claimed it was so good he couldn't stop. The sakalans was nothing like I've ever had before, but now I crave it so much! I highly recommend it even if you're skeptical! This was a wonderful meal and we hope to return to it one day!

Doner sandwich run strikes again- this time at Habibi's…read more After touring the city of Berlin on foot one must rehydrate with a huge meal, Habibi's will do take care of your needs for just €2.75. Me.Winning.Again. Great pita sandwich with loads of meat. You're probably wondering if my taste buds are diluted by now from all the diners I've put away in the past week. Nope. On the contrary it's getting stronger. Habibi's was excellent. Meat was seasoned just right with perfect amount of cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, and hummus, all stuffed in a pita. The hot pepper didn't have much heat. If anything it was on the saltier side. I thought about taking a picture of my pita sandwich but was too hungry to pause, oh well. Dude at the counter spoke 7 English words: With meat? Everything? Drink? Two seventy-five please.. Just enough English for me.

However nothing really can explain the flavour guaranteed with each dish. Shared the falafel plate, Turkey kebab sticks and the chicken dish Malle. The turkey was some of the best I've ever tasted, incredibly succulent. How incredible, mixed with the full glass of Spanish red wine, and garlic bread the large portions really allowed us to enjoy to the full extent. Service personal and efficient, ambiance tranquil leaving a delightful aftertaste when you return to the streets of Berlin. 43€ for 1 appetizer, 2 mains, 2 glasses of red and a bottle of still water. For the taste and quality of food also means this is one winner of a restaurant!

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!
