I ordered the "falafel box" which was pretty much a small sampler of all their vegetarian items on a small plate for 4€ (includes three falafel balls). Everything tasted fresh and very good - I was very happy with the meal for the cheap price. There's actually like 5+ falafel places right next to each other in this area. I've only tried Falafelstern and Kimo (the restaurant literally next door also serving falafel). I would definitely recommend Falafelstern over Kimo for better tasting falafel and sides.

I recall seeing a veggie empanada on the menu; a bit skeptical on trying that one. I had the falafel teller. Its 5 pieces of falafel, vegetables, hummus and you can get pita bread if you like. The falafel was excellent. The hummus however definitely lacking and not too high on my list of hummus had. It did however work with the falafel but eating it with the bread wasn't satisfying. Definitely come for the falafel though. 7 euros for this is a pretty damn good deal

At that hour options are usually between some kebap or Grill of Arabia. Not a tough decision to make really. They are open till midnight and their kitchen remains open all that time too! This has been too big a life saver for me that it warrants a 5 star for them all in itself. The menu caters to two type of customers. There is the customer looking for a cheap takeout option. On offer are several pita wraps from lamb to falafel all under 5 euros. Or you can select items from the mazza. When you order, they grill the meats or veg as you watch and make the wrap for you. The same applies to any other takeout. The wraps are pretty delicious; not as delicious as some other items on the menu but definitely very good for their low cost. The second type of customer catered to may be the diner or one willing to spend more on their takeout. For between 8-20 euros you can get some really good dishes. Majority are about 10. I'm a huge fan of their lamb and their hummus is delicious! Even veggies are well catered to here as their grilled vegetables are really good as well. My only complaint is I don't get enough pita bread with my hummus. The restaurant has lots of seating inside, full bar and a cozy ambience. There are also stands on the outer bit before you get in where you can order your wrap or something quick and eat while standing.

The service was lovely, especially in regards to keeping wine glasses full, explaining the menu (going the extra kilometer to explain in english the specials), providing quick translations and overall just being very pleasant and excited about the experience. My lamb with veggies in a mint/thyme sauce was elegantly plated and the taste surely matched the looks. A medium portion, just enough to fill up but not be overly full. The cinnamon rice I snagged from across the table was also quite a treat...savory sweet. We had a range of appetizers, the standouts being the falafel and the red beet paste. The dipping sauces for the bread were a bit bland, and the other starters quite small (more like tapas, but smaller) so a bit hard to split amongst the group easily. A lovely dinner for our group of 7. Half German, half American. All happy. *reservations suggested. *cash or German EC only. Total: 200 euros with tip. Not bad at all for the quality and panache of the evening.

As a real Hamburg Docker I'll give you a heads up and recommend looking for another Syrian/Lebanese place to eat.

I've ordered the large falalplatter here twice, which for 5.50 euro comes with a large variety and decent quantity of food. The falafel is decent tasting, and five balls are included. There's also a basket provided with a few pieces of flat pita. Kimo does have more choices and a less fast-food feeling, but I'd still go to Falafelstern hands-down because I find the falafel and other ingredients much tastier.

The portions were very generous, so I was definitely full after finishing my meal. The cauliflower was my favorite part of the dish; it was spectacular, and I would definitely order this as a side if you come here. The falafel was good but not excellent -- I really enjoyed the texture (very soft yet crispy outside), but I didn't think it tasted as great as other falafel I've had (it was still yummy, though, don't get me wrong). Chickpeas aren't my favorite, so I don't know why I ordered this side, and I thought they were decent but not amazing (I enjoyed the tomato sauce). The tzatziki sauce was excellent (very flavorful), and I really enjoyed this along with the humus, which tasted great as a dip for the pita and falafel. The staff was very accommodating, and I liked the setup of the (small) restaurant quite a bit, with a variety of seating arrangements including lower couch-side seats. Overall, this restaurant had excellent service, atmosphere, and food, so I would highly recommend eating here. Although the falafel wasn't excellent, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and also saw some other great looking dishes around (including a fried empanada). I will be back here for sure.

On the downside, staff might have been very friendly but they were rather inattentive. Also, I had a pomegranate lassi which was not nice at all. It was small and way too sweet (taste was rather artificial). If you want to drink something opt for tea. Other than that, I can't wait to try another dish. Mucho love, D.

I like that they cook the meat/cheese/falafel to order so everything is fresh. Yes it takes longer than shaving it off a spit but if you have 4 mins to spare this is awesome. Lots of flavor, and lots of toppings on the plates and in the roll-ups. Lettuce, cabbage, hummus, carrots, tabbouleh, lentils, potatoes, sauces, tomatoes, etc. First meal I had was the shwarma teller and second was the halloumi teller to which I added 2 merguez sausages. The only disappointing thing was the halloumi cheese was really thinly sliced and became dry and brittle in the deep frier. For the portions and variety the price is maybe a little too low - 4 euro for the small plates. The people working here are also really nice. I think we'll be back frequently since we live in the neighborhood!
