    I don't say this often but I will make an exception: Truly exceptional food. Deserves the 5 stars. I might just make a trip back to this place if I'm in Germany again. Loved the food. I would say it's a hidden gem but I don't think it would be hidden for long because of the price to performance ratio they give !

    Excellent restaurant. It really stands out against the competition. The food is authentic and delicious and the falafel is a must. The staff was really friendly. It's really worth the visit and one of the best places in the city centre.

    The meals were delicious. Their meala are always served with meat, vegan options available. Lebanese/Syrian eatery offering fava bean dish, tabouleh, hummus, falafel, and more. For vegetarians, it's good to ask the staff team to specify which options are vegan and which ones are not.

    Disappointing experience here. We were excited after reading the reviews but had another experience. When asked if the cold complimentary bread could be heated, they said no because they don't have an oven (but there is a microwave/stovetop). I got the beef stew. For €15, I would expect my rice to be not melted/mashed and cold on the inside (as if it was taken out of a freezer). The meat was hard and not easy to chew. The flavors, however, were good. In general, the dish seemed quite overpriced. The €3 something ayran was something that can be bought in the supermarket for €0.70 in terms of quantity and flavor. I'm surprised about the one € sign in the Google reviews. I'd expect to pay close to half of the price for something like that. After this experience, I'm sure there are better places to eat nearby.

    Absolutely amazing food, fast and kind staff, cozy interior. Surprisingly you can have here delicious hot chocolate. They create here amazing tastes out of simple ingredients. We were in a group of 4 and took a mixed plate for 2 and 3 Starters and we were full. Fully recommended!

    Good eastern street food, but nothing special. The interior looks quite terrible to call it a restaurant. Overpriced just because of proximity to the center. Would not come again

    What a wonderful gem- of all the Falafel I’ve had the pleasure of eating in life, this was the best. Completely reasonable prices, great quality ingredients, and friendly service. We might go back before we leave!

    Food was nice but the portions could be a bit bigger

  • 1/5 Konstantina L. 1 year ago on Google
    We were having a nice time and just commenting how overpriced everything was for Arabic food, until we found a piece of glass in a falafel…when we show it to the person in charge (possibly the owner) he started explaining that they are not making the falafel in the restaurant but taking it from somewhere else frozen and that we shouldn’t worry as this was just a “bad” one. He continued saying this hasn’t happened in 4 years! He didn’t offer to take the plate away, replace it or anything else just came back a bit later with a bowl of a smashed falafel and tried to convince us that it wasn’t possible to find a glass in there as it would have been crushed by the machine. So his idea was that the glass should have come from the bread…as this for some reason would make things better! Anyway, at the end he brought us the bill without taking away anything at all and when we refused to pay for the falafel dish he agreed quite easily while commenting that we still ate it. We explained that we spent the whole meal examining and crushing up our food to make sure there wasn’t anything more in it.

    Excellent oriental dishes and a simple setting, in the shade. It is situated in the center of Potsdam town, at the footsteps of the castle. It can be reached by car or by foot and, although it does not impress in looks, it does that by taste. The food is excellent and varied, with specific Lebanese choices. Highly recommended!

    The entire experience was amazing. Dining in the very heart of Potsdam, close to the tourist points but not overcrowded, in fact perfectly secluded. The quality of food, friendly staff and attractive prices, just one word - marvelous. You have to eat here!

    The best place to visit after walking around Potsdam all day long. Very tasty food and affordable prices. We really liked everything that we ordered ☺️

    Amazing food. Great price and service. As opposed to Laila across the street.

    This place is a gem. Fantastic value for money. I paid 10 € for the meal in the picture and it was delicious. The staff is quick and very professional. Really, I'll come back for sure.

  • 5/5 Tom K. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good food and friendly service. If you don't like a component of a dish, don't hesitate to ask them to leave it out and if you want to split a meal, just ask for two plates; they'll be happy to comply. Beware that you should pay cash if you'd like to tip (which you very likely will).

👍 Sehr schön an der Havel gelegen. Sehr nettes Personal .. Auf einen Platz muss man warten, aber ziemlich schnell kriegt man dann auch einen Platz zugewiesen. Das Essen ist gut, allerdings etwas wenig Auswahl für die Vegetarier.

👍👍 Wir (2 Erwachsene und 2 Kinder) wurden angenehm überrascht das es in Potsdam noch Lokalitäten gibt wo man beim betreten des Lokals nicht gleich 100€ los ist und dennoch ein super leckeres schmackhaftes Essen bekommt. Die Menge der Menüs (Auswahl) ist auch sehr ausgewogen. Das war perfekt. Die Größe...
