The food was delicious, the service was probably the best I have had in Germany and a great experience throughout. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful dinner. We had the 3 course menu which was very good. Very nice variation in starters and main courses were tasty as well as good looking. Desert was amazing 👌🏻

Fantastic food. Everything we ordered was delicious. Mansaf had a twist of mint, the maaloubeh with eggplant and lamb was exquisite. Everything was beautifully decorated. The meat in all the dishes was tender especially the mixed grill. The owner kept checking if we needed anything and explained how they selectively get their lamb, chicken and veal meat from high quality sources. This explains the light coulur of the meat, the tenderness and the juiciness. It was worth the high price that we paod. The only unusal (well for me) was that they charged 1 euro for each doggy bag we asked for as we couldn't finish some of the plates due to generous amount of food.
This restaurant is a must if you enjoy high quality meat, well presented Middle Eastern food.

Fine dining with good food, and helpful staff, therefore expensive :D

One sad point is that, I decided to go here just for the tagine, only to realize that they're not in the season ._.

So we both had the 3-course menu instead (36€/person with meat), including 5 dishes of appetizers (selected by the kitchen: Tabouleh, Salatat Batiech, Hummus, Falafel, Sambusek), 1 main dish (selected by us), 1 dessert (selected by the kitchen). As the starter they offer bread chips with yoghurt & mint, black olives for free.
Particularly, we had Mashawi Mushakkal (mixed grill) & Maqlubeh Bel Lahem Kharuf (Palestinian rice casserole with Lamb meat- very delicious, the meat is tender, rice is flavourful) as main courses.
As the dessert we had Madlouka, which was surprisingly not too sweet, which is my thing.

We had Farawla Caipirinha (10.5€) & Za‘atar *something* (with vanilla & thyme & ginger) (8€) as drinks, which were also very tasty.

The thing I like the most about this, is that they offer a sustainable package for leftovers. As we asked for it, the waiter named 2 options, either reusable or disposable boxes. He explained further, that if we choose the reusable option, we wouldn't have to pay for anything, just download an app, scan a QR code and they'll give you a box to pack your leftovers, which you can return to them within 14 days, otherwise you'll have to pay 10€/box. If we choose the disposable box instead, it'll cost 1€/box. REALLY COOL IDEAS!

Went for dinner with 3 friends, sat outside the front. Service was ok, could have done with my beer topping up. Our main waiter was good, made a very good recommendation for my main dish, The mixed grill. It was very good. The different meats were cooked to perfection. Could have done with more grilled vegetables... Everyone else’s dishes were very good too. Would visit again! Should have taken more pictures!
