As a Syrian, this is the best Syrian restaurant in Germany, I have tried a bunch of different places but I always crave the food here. Hygiene is well respected, staff members are very respectful and experts in this domaine. Variety of choices that are all very well done. As a Syrian I’m so proud of this restaurant and its quality.

Food is so yummy. Service is nice. Shawarma teller could even be for two persons as the portion is huge. Price is bang for the buck! Will be back for sure.

Fantastic staff, exceptional quality, generous portions, reasonable prices, and Hausgemacht Aryan I usually don't enjoy Arabic restaurants, but this one is excellent I ordered Muhammara and a meal of Kebab with rice. The Muhammara was spicy, fresh, topped with sesame, and served with a big basket of white bread, and the amazingly-grilled kebab with salad and rice The atmosphere, unlike many Syrian and other Arab restaurants, is taken care of aesthetically and the light choice is warm and welcoming The tables and seats are comfortable and the place can be enjoyed with friends Highly recommended
