First to review. What a feather in my cap…read more Okay, I'm mostly doing this for the novelty of yelping about an establishment in a foreign country: On a recent trip abroad, I had a unique opportunity to go out for Mediterranean cuisine in Germany. Reading a menu of Greek dishes in German is definitely a surreal experience when your native tongue is English. The food was passable and the environment was pleasant, but the main reason this restaurant stands out to me is the complementary Ouzo served at the beginning and end of the meal. Some people hate Ouzo. I happen to love it. I loved it enough to drink my dining companions' Ouzo in addition to mine so it wouldn't go to waste, which may explain why I remember little else about the experience. Yassou!

tl;dr: Delicious lamb shawarma (wraps). Huge portion size. Falafels made fresh to order. They add…read moreextra dollop of sauce if you're eating in-house. How I got here: I was walking down the streets of Lutherstadt Wittenberg with my friend, on the way back after spending the afternoon shopping in the local mall. I told my friend, I was craving a good Shawarma and she suggested this new place that had great Falafel wraps. That's how we ended up at Al Rayyan. = Ambience: It's a small place with seats outside. We were greeted by a smiling man behind the counter. We ordered at the counter. Saw as our order was made and took a seat outside with our steaming hot wraps. Food: My friend ordered a Falafel shawarma (wrap) and I got the lamb one. The falafels were made after she ordered so when they came out they were steaming hot! It looked delicious and I regret not ordering a side of falafel for myself. The sheared the lamb from the döner, put the shawarma bread on the pan and then started to lay out the meat on it. I chose garlic sauce on my shawarma. There were other options as well. It comes with lettuce, onions, tomato, chili and other sauces. You can choose to add or remove as per your liking. The size of the wrap is huge! We ordered to eat in house and they added a dollop of sauce on the top (Yumm!!!) You don't get this if you order to-go so if you're planning to walk around and eat, I'd suggest ordering to eat and then walking off with your wraps. I had a bite from my friends Falafel wrap and the falafels were crispy and flavorful. I left with my craving satisfied. As I am writing this, the photo and the thought of it makes my mouth water. I guess I know, what I'm having for dinner!

I met an acquaintance there at noon on a Tuesday, and it was quite dead. We sat at a table near the…read morelarge windows with a great view of the river, and I got the impression I was walking into a restaurant that would be much more expensive than it was. The tables were beautifully adorned with folded cloth napkins, professional china and silverware presentations, and red and white whine glasses. The place was also spotlessly clean. When I opened the menu, however, the prices were lower than I had expected. Many of the entrees were going for 12-13 Euro. My acquaintance and I each started off with an apple juice, and shared the basket of bread, which came accompanied with three different spreads. That was where I stopped, however. She ordered a tomato and mozzarella salad, which looked ok. Of course, the slices of thick mozzarella looked delicious, but my acquaintance complained about the not-so-ripe tomatoes. We capped our meal with a coffee and cappucino. My coffee came with sugar and a little cookie, and her cappucino looked like a cappucino should. The ambience was great, and I need to return to give a better review of the food. From what I've discovered thus far, it is OK. Next time, if it is nice outside, I would also like to sit on the patio. (They also had ice cream there I did not try.)

An Sommer- wie auch Wintertagen können Sie in gemütlicher Atmosphäre und mit einmaligem Ausblick auf die Elbe in Magdeburg, die exklusiven Köstlichkeiten unser Küche genießen. Einen guten Appetit wünscht Ihnen Ihre Petriförder GmbH PS: Wir sind ein Hundefreundliches Restaurant. Ihre wohlerzogenen Vierbeiner heißen wir bei uns auch Herzlich Willkommen. Über den Namen unseres Restaurants Die Bezeichnung Petri leitet sich von der benachbarten Sankt-Petri-Kirche ab. Ein Förder ist ein Einschnitt in das hohe Gelände am Elbufer, durch den man von der höher gelegenen Stadt an das Ufer der Elbe gelangte. Da es mehrere solcher Förder gab, wurden sie durch die Bezeichnung der in der Nähe befindlichen Kirchen unterschieden. Der Förder wurde bereits 1725 beseitigt. Der westliche Teil der Straße hieß daher ab circa 1750 Petersberg. Für den Bereich zum Elbufer hin hielt sich die Bezeichnung jedoch bis heute.
