I came to Zweistrom's for a much needed late-night snack. It was a Saturday night and the neighborhood was vibing! I ordered the falafel wrap. The falafels were fried to order, which I appreciate. After the falafels were ready, the gentleman working put them in a wrap and then went to the bar of vegetables and toppings in front of me. He added hummus, cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, and I think a spicy mustard. After he finished stuffing the wrap, he rolled it up and placed it on a grill press for a few minutes. My falafel wrap was delicious and full of flavors and textures! Starting with crunchy! It had a big crunch from the grilled wrap. Then I got the added crunch from the falafel. It was then followed by the smooth and savory hummus. The vegetables were a perfect addition. Extra: Vegan options Open late - 3 am! A few seats inside Outdoor seating available It was authentic, inexpensive, fresh, fast, and they were open late! My falafel wrap was the best late night snack that didn't make me feel guilty or bloated the next day. Also, the service was good too! The gentleman working was kind and had great energy. We chatted for a little, it was really nice. I wish him the best of luck. If you're in the area, I highly suggest stopping by.

Zweistrom - Vegan Falafel Wrap - Arabic Near Me - Berlin, BE

A perfect spot for a quick lunch. They make every thing right in front of you and have great outdoor seating on a pleasant street to enjoy your meal. It's not fancy but it's a great meal with a wonderful variety of fresh vegetarian options. Would definitely come back! read more

I caught the end of their spieß so the chicken in the schawarma teller was pretty burnt and low-quality meat. Otherwise the flavors in the platter were fresh and tasty, and the portion was good for €6.50. Decent service, pretty much no atmosphere inside. Bread was also stale and hard. read more

Zweistrom - #11 - Arabic Near Me - Berlin, BE

We ordered the vegetarian plate for one person for 8€ for take away during the corona shut down. Taste: The taste was amazing, really great and something we would come back for. The falafel was tasty, the sauces were great, the salad - really good stuff. The fried vegetables were too oily and greasy, so was the cheese. The spinach role was nothing special. What stood out was the salad, the sauces and the falafel. Portions: For 8€ this was a decent portion. However you'll get only one falafel, one spinach roll and one grilled cheese which are small in their size. Why 4 and not 5 stars: It was great, we would come back if we crave Mediterranean food. But the service and the guy was just super unfriendly and with "Mezem" we found the Mediterranean king in Berlin for 7.50€ a full self made plate that Zweistrom cannot beat by far in their taste, portion, service and price read more

Small little hole in the wall. Unless you look at Yelp, you'd never know it was there. Inexpensive!! Fresh. Cooked in front of you. 19€ for everything below plus 2 baklava not pictures. Oh. And bread. We asked for more too and no charge!! Highly recommend for traditional Turkish/Arabic/Lebanese cuisine outside of the touristy areas. read more

Grateful I found this place right before I moved; otherwise I'd be 300 lbs. It's SO good - get that chicken schwarma with everything. There's a reason why it's buzzing during lunch hour. And a whole meal for 5 euros? :::swoon::: read more

After a long karaoke night I was getting super hungry and most venues were closed around this area. We showed up at Zweistrom 30min before closing and felt bad for ordering their big plate so short before closing. The owner was super kind and sid we shouldn't stress it and should eat our food in peace. Since I briefly mentioned that I don't eat meat the owner served our platter vegan and had the non-vegan things on a separate plate. The food was really good, fresh and bursting with spices and flavours. read more

This place was fantastic! We needed some late night food after a long day of travel to Berlin and this joint hit the spot. You get a huge plate of fresh delicious food all for a reasonable price. Sitting outside, sipping a tasty soda or a beer from the convenience store around the corner, was a fantastic way to cool off during the hot summer nights. It was the only place we went to twice in Berlin during our stay and was well worth it. Make sure you check out the falafel, shawarma, and lamb. And think about saving room for some fantastic baklava! read more

This is a cross between an imbiss stube, and a solid restaurant where things are done with flair and care. Five stars for the Mixteller with meat for 7.50, and three stars for the ambiance. I counted at least 15 unique flavor element / items on the mixteller, from the meats to the salads, sauces, and garnishes. An exceedingly satisfying array of flavors and textures - - a really artful and carefully put together assortment that leaves you nourished and delighted. I almost was lured in by an Italiener with spinach manicotti with baked-over mozzarella, also for that price down by the Kollwitzplatz, and I am really glad I held off for this Yelp-recommended winner of a meal. read more

Zweistrom - Yummmmm - Arabic Near Me - Berlin, BE

I ordered the Zweiteller after many recommendations online. I was not disappointed with my big platter filled with many different Turkish delights! Firstly, this is not so much a restaurant but more of a take away looking shop with about 10 seats. Very small but it works. It was always busy when we went although we were able to find seats. I can imagine this isn't the case during peak hours. So, back to the Zweiteller, it costs a decent 7.50 EUR and has items such as chicken shawarma, falafel, tabbouleh, cous-cous, lamb kofte, baba ganoush, hummus and salad. Along with many sauces. Watch out for the super spicy orange sauce. Don't know what it is but it was evil. Everything on the platter was standout. The chicken shawarma was packed full of flavour and was tender chicken. I ususally hate chicken doner/shawarma but this was delightful. The falafel was amazing. Crispy on the outside but packed full of flavour and moist inside. Kofte was lovely also - lightly seasoned with spices and tender. The taboulleh was fresh as was the cous-cous. If you're in Berlin you must try this place. For 7.50 EUR you can't go wrong! read more

Probably not the best place for Falafel, Humus and other middle eastern fast foods in Berlin, but one of the best. Love the "3-combo-sandwich", where you can combine 3 types of main foods, for a fair 4 euros. (my favorite 3-combo is: Falagel, Shawarma and Humus) The portions are generous, so make sure you bring a decent piece of hunger when you step in. Staff is friendly, and the location is not far away from the lively Kollwitzplatz or Helmholzplatz. read more

Nice and friendly Employees, great food. I reccomend the Zweistrom Platte. I couldn't find the wifi password though. It's not too far from Mauerpark, and open late, so I'll be here often. read more

Great food, attentively prepared. Delicious, affordable, obviously popular among locals.

Always a long queue if you come for dinner. Inside seeking is limited to two tiny buy cosy tables. Falafel, halumi, shawarma combination plate is excellent. You get a serious portion with delicious sauces. Only the bred could sometimes be a little bit more fresh. read more

Best falafel plate in the city. From the outside it looks like an average kebab shop, but the quality of the food is like in a restaurant. Highly recommended especially if you are hungovered they close at 02:00 read more

Hands down best falafel in Berlin! Surprised to see it's only got 3 stars. Get in there and try it people! They've lovely fresh juices and great baklava too. The staff are really nice and friendly. But, most importantly - the falafel is super yummy, as are the sauces, salads, hallumi... Need I say more, miss this place dearly. Those of you lucky enough to live in Berlin, go try it!! c* read more

Delicious, homemade everything. Next time I'll get the meat combo, this time I had the veggie one (falafel, hallumi, hummus, fried veggies, baba, etc) - 7 Eur. Prices are great, falafel plate is 5 for example. read more

Zweistrom - Veggie combo plate - 7eur - Arabic Near Me - Berlin, BE

Lived up to the reviews---I had a Mixteller with meat, and although it's the same sort of mix you'd get at a middle eastern restaurant anywhere, the stuff here was particularly fresh and flavorful in all possible regards. Sauces weren't stale, meat was moist, etc. Probably my new standard for this sort of food. read more

Tasty food, nice service, huge portions, but prices may be a bit higher than other Middle Eastern restaurants. Try the 'Zweistrom Teller' too, you won't regret it ;) read more

This is a great fast food place. Fresh, tidy and tasty. The Schwarma is my favourite in Prenzlauer Berg. The owner of the place usually stands behind the grill himself. The sauces they add to the schwarma is mango (! how cool is that?), Garlic or herb sauce. The secret behind the great Schwarma - is fresh mint leaves. Try the Schwarma with Haloumi. There is enough space for 6 people to sit down and eat in winter - in summer they have some seats outside as well. Free tea - perfect to get into the Mid-Eastern mood whilst waiting. read more

On the happening street of kollwitzstrasse, always abuzz with the locals this place has the best tellers around. The sauces are really tasty and made to perfection. read more

Zweistrom - Vegetarian teller-tasty and filling - Arabic Near Me - Berlin, BE

Schawarma im Brot was really good. In summer time the seats outside are really enjoyable.

Wowowwow, I loved whatever the heck I got. some mixed plate with schwarma and some "spring roll" looking thing, but it was off the hook. The freshest, and tastiest turkish dish I had in berlin during my short stay (I ate turkish every day to be quite frank.) The price was right and the flavors were just incredible. They give you plenty of pita bread to inhale all the dips and spreads on your plate and a generous portion of meats. The price was just unbeatable too, roughly 7 euros for what I would have easily paid double for state side when it came to presentation, service, and freshness. read more

Delicious melt-in-your mouth Falafels and schwarma. Please do not miss your chance to try these delicious dishes. We ordered the Falafelteller and Schwarma im Brot (akin to a kebab/durum). The Falafelteller was so beautiful to look at; it came with a variety of sauces (one which I suspect was humus, yogurty sauce and a spicy sauce (my favourite)), tabouleh, chilli pepper, salad and boom-chicka-wow-wow crispy tasty Falafels. There was also a side serving of flat bread. Biting into one of the Falafels was heaven. Seriously, you have to try to it understand what I mean. The sauces were perfectly balanced. The schwarma was just as good. The meat was beautiful and tender and they added a little bit of fried potato so it felt like I was eating it with potato chips. Also, try the pfefferminze Tee. It comes with fresh mint leaves and this interesting looking thing that I think may be a preserved lemon?? The tee was actually a bit sweet (i think the preserved lemon caused that) for me since I prefer pure pfefferminz. THE BEST PART IS THE PRICE- 3€ for the Schwarma im Brot and 5€ for the Falafelteller! Before I forget the place is quite small so you may struggle to get a seat. However, people are pretty courteous in that they don't take too long to finish their meals so others can have a spot. read more

High quality food and great service! Mix teller plate was 7.5 euro and blew me away! Huge plate with great variety of food

Yes, the falafel is very good. What I'm not a fan of is the dark wheat bread they roll them in, so I recommend getting the plates.

Unassuming exterior, with shockingly delicious food. We had the mixed vegetarian platter for two people (more like four). It had a huge variety of mostly familiar middle eastern/mediterranean dishes -- tabouli, falafel, hummus, baba ganouj something like spanakopita -- along with less common things -- kibbe = a fried ball stuffed with vegetables; whipped garlic (I think it's often called "toum"), and a spicy/sour/cinnamony sauce that I will dream of for the next few weeks. But the thing is: even the most familiar of the dishes was prepared in a novel, unfamiliar, wonderful way. It was like rediscovering baba ganouj, with surprising spices (maybe a hint of cardamom?), served on a succulent slice of roasted eggplant. The hummus was prepared with care, with plenty of tahini (which I adore). The toum was so wonderful -- I wanted to have a tiny bit of it with each bite, I loved it so much. Especially with the crispy fried cauliflower. And the spicy sauce made even the lowly fried potato wedge strange and wonderful. Believe me: the flavor profiles of these foods will catch you off guard. Also striking and glorious: how fresh the ingredients were. It was as if the parsley for the tabbouli were minced just a moment before serving, to keep it as fresh as possible. Not remotely wilted. The texture of the falafel -- the perfect crispiness of the fried exterior -- is, I think a big part of why it's so highly spoken of. Get the vegetarian platter for two. Don't share it with someone who'll steal all the toum. read more

Great Schawarma and Falafel. Bit tasty but really yummy. and the price is good :)

Love this place! There are many, many options when it comes to Mediterranean food in Berlin, especially in Prenzlauer Berg, but this is my favorite. Fresh, tasty, and even visually appealing, the platters are my favorites. I find myself coming back time and again. read more

Excellent middle-eastern fast food. The halloumi and falafel are good, as is the "Makali" option (mixed roasted vegetables). This place beats the competition with its very fresh salads (always a good sign), tasty sauces and pleasant outdoor seating (there's hardly any space indoors anyway). You get plenty of salad, houmous and different middle-eastern sauces plus bread when you order your meal on a plate rather than as a filled pita. One slightly unusual item on the menu that many similar places don't do is "kibbe". It's a kind of fried rice ball stuffed either with vegetables or minced beef. read more

One of the top middle eastern food. Must visit if you like middle eastern food. Price is little higher as compared to other middle eastern restaurant but it's worth a visit. read more

My favorite Middle Eastern place in Berlin. I usually get the Mixed Teller for two - great variety of foods, generous portions, and great price. read more

I literally could not have imagined a better last dinner in Berlin. Best falafel I've ever had. Chicken is unbelievably good. Potatoes are cooked perfectly. And the top it all off the music was incredible and the staff was super friendly. read more

What a homey spot. Our first night in Berlin, we were feeling something simple and delicious, so we searched for falafel. This place was perfect. It was small but they were able to seat us quickly. And the vibe was cool. Friends getting together and people dropping in for takeout after work. The two guys running the place up front were really nice and helped us order despite a lack of german. The food was plentiful and cheap. Food, beer, tea for less than 20 euros. Go for it. read more

Really good Shoarma!

Really tasty Schawarma and Falafel, its my number 1 in this neigbourhood.
