Maroush is a tiny restaurant offering an affordable menu of casual Lebanese food. The Maroush…read morePlatter came with literally some of everything they offered: kofta (ground beef kebab), shish taouk (chicken kebab), makanik (Lebanese beef sausage), chicken shawarma carved from a rotating spit, fried vegetables (eggplant, cauliflower, zucchini, fries), falafel, halloumi, tabbouleh, grape leaves stuffed with rice, salad, pickles, hummus, toum, and spicy chili sauce, along with two rounds of pita. Everything was drizzled with tahini, which added an unctuous, earthy flavor to every bite, and while everything on the platter was delicious, I especially liked the flavors added by the toum and chili sauce. The seating here was extremely limited, but the value and the flavors of the food definitely made up for the lack of atmosphere!

Everything in the platter was delicious, but the falafel in particular was out of this world!!! It was so different from the falafels I'm used to. It's crunchy on the outside.

Al-Andalos is located in the busy part of Neukölln, right on Sonnenallee. On a Saturday night at 10 p.m., it was full to the rim. No seats, stressed out staff, people fight for seats and the spot in the line to get the delicious food. We ordered the Al-Andalos platter for two (meat) for 11 EUR, which comes with an entire package of Arabic/Lebanese bread. We were barely able to finish the entire plate, there are many tasty things on this plate and even my companion that night, who is generally not so quickly to impress, admitted that it was probably the best he has eaten in a long time. Fresh, tasty, large portions and fair prices. Staff is super friendly and attentive! I think I will have to drive out to Neukölln more often!

The Babel…read morePlatte for two people was a nice sampling of their mezzes including hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, falafel, halloumi, pickled turnips/cucumbers/chilies, ground lamb kafta, chicken shawarma, rice wrapped in grape leaves, spinach and cheese pastries, makali (fried zucchini, peppers, potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower), and makdous (preserved stuffed eggplant). The plate also came with several condiments: amba (mango sauce), toum (garlic sauce), shatta (spicy chili sauce), and tarator (tahini sauce). We also got the Grill Teller, which came with an assortment of grilled meats including chicken kebab, lamb kebab, lamb chop, and lamb kafta, along with hummus, salad, and pickles. Everything we had was fresh and flavorful, but my favorite item was the huge falafels, which were nicely seasoned and had a nice crispy exterior. Overall, a great self-service restaurant, where you could help yourself to bread, utensils, and plates--and everything came at a good value too!

Unfortunately, this was a really terrible experience…read more I ordered a halloumi platter and some falafel. The food itself was already very disappointing in terms of taste. Even worse, however, was what happened afterwards: that same evening, I developed severe diarrhea, and my stomach has not felt right since. That day, I had not eaten anything other than a banana in the morning. Given the circumstances, I strongly suspected that the symptoms were related to the food I ate there. Overall, it was a very unpleasant experience. The way customers were treated also left a very bad impression on me. When I was standing in the restaurant and was about to place my order, I witnessed one of the employees speaking extremely loudly and rudely to a woman and practically shouting at her. He said things like, "Take your order with you" and "What do you want now?" in an incredibly disrespectful tone. I found it shocking to see a customer being treated in such an unfriendly and aggressive manner. Overall, this was an absolutely disappointing experience for me -- both because of the food and because of the way customers were treated. I did not feel comfortable there at all and definitely will not be coming back.

Order at the counter, wait for your number to be called and voila: enjoy your Shish Taouk plate piled with juicy chicken pieces, a small salad, pickled veggies and accompaniments and a hummus so creamy you'd want to slather it all over yourself. The presentation is very rustic and I love that it filled me up for an affordable price. Sit outside on one of the benches and people watch: you might even see an Adonis walk by.

I guess this place gets mostly takeout business but they do have tables in the back area of the restaurant. I ordered the chicken platter and I think it came out to be around 10 Euros which isn't bad at all for dinner. The platter came with tons of chicken, sauce, fresh vegetables like tomatoes and red bell peppers. For the price that you pay, you get a lot of delicious food. However, I did notice that the man who took my order taking out prepped chicken from the microwave. I don't know if the chicken I ate went into the microwave but honestly, I couldn't tell the difference. It tasted good. I recommend this place for anyone looking to get some tasty Lebanese food at a good price.

The meat here is delicious; definitely not the mystery meat you can get from the Turkish spots. The hot sauce on the tables is pretty interesting; it's a low, slow heat but also tastes kind of fruity? Kind of like they made a mash of cherries/tomatoes/peppers. Delicious! For around 5€ you can get a "small" plate of food, which is really not small. They PILE the food on!! The hummus is tasty, the bread is delicious and the meat, the meat!!! It's awesome. Get there early because they DO run out of the beef shwarma. Side note: I'm Persian and when I was here the other night, they were rocking some Iranian jams. I asked the owner if he was Persian, and he said no, he just loved Persian music. Extra star for excellent taste in music ;)
