Ein super freundlicher Herr Chamun, der mit einer guten Preispolitik Gerichte anbietet wie ich sie so noch nirgends gegessen habe. Hummus (Kichererbsenbrei), Auberginenmus, Lamm- oder Geflügelgerichte, knuspriges Fladenbrot, Süßspeisen aus Rosenwasser und noch mehr. Und alles geschmacklich und qualitativ in einer sonst nicht so oft erreichten Qualität... Leider ist es etwas klein, reservieren sollte man also auf jeden Fall.

The owner is welcoming and gracious but doesn't speak English, so go with a German speaker. I had lamb meatballs stuffed with goat cheese, excellent. Lots of flavor, fresh ingredients and perfect use of spices in every dish. Another item worth mentioning was the very fresh tabuhla topped with pomegranate, really liked that dish. Dinners come with small amounts of different dishes so you can try many things and the owner enjoys explaining the food. Very popular with the locals, make a reservation. Mesopotamien is the first restaurant in Germany I've been to that does not serve pork!

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!

The place is cozy, you ask for the food at the counter and they bring the food to you. Hubby and I got the "tellers" (plates) with beef and lamb liver. What a presentation!

Recommended to me as the "best falafel in Karlsruhe", but it failed to impress me…read more I tried a combo plate which sounded promising and looked great when served (falafel, chicken, hummus, baba ghanoush, salad, yogurt sauce). The falafel was indeed fresh (the mash is waiting in a bowl to be fried after your order) and it tasted good, but not great. And the chicken was very dry (it was night closing time, so maybe it was "tired" all day, but still). Will visit again to give it a second chance.

I is good but not overwhelming. The hummus and the babaganush are not hand made, which is a pity…read more The falafel are not bad. But they do like what they do which give a certain spice to the plate!!
