The best street food venues of type "Levante cuisine" in Dusseldorf
A fast-food restaurant on Alexanderstraße: there’s often a line, but thanks to the well-coordinated team, it usually moves along pretty quickly. The shawarma—chicken or lamb—comes wrapped in thin flatbread with pickled cucumbers, fresh lettuce, and garlic sauce. Legendary.
Levantine cuisine with a fun twist—more classic than fancy, always fresh. The appetizer platter is a great way to start for anyone who can’t make up their mind. If you like to go freestyle, order a mix of dishes from the menu and share them with your friends using the “everything for everyone” principle.
Lebanese mezze cuisine in Oberkassel, ranging from good to excellent. The appetizers—mutabbal, kibbeh, tabbouleh, hummus—are a feast in themselves. Still, it’s worth saving a little room for the main courses. The dining atmosphere is refined. Reservations are recommended.
A Lebanese food truck offering a variety of plate dishes and flatbread rolls. The shish tawouk, sardine, and makali sandwiches are generously filled and perfect for a quick snack on the go. Tip: Try the sambousek lahme—crispy pastries filled with ground meat.
Lebanese snack bar in the Old Town. They’re grilling and frying here seven days a week: shawarma, köfte skewers, crispy chicken, and falafel—served as a sandwich, in a baguette, with fries and salad, and—here’s a tip—as a Makali roll. Open until at least late into the night.
Arabic cuisine in a chic, laid-back boho atmosphere. Its location in the Medienhafen further enhances that “vacation in the city” feeling. The menu’s modern twist complements this perfectly: MaQtub bowls with vegetable rice, bulgur, lentil salad, fattoush, and dishes like kafta or grilled tuna fillet.
It might not be the right place for a silver wedding anniversary, but it’s definitely a good choice for some fresh Lebanese meze. The selection of appetizers is so vast that there’s hardly any room left in your stomach for the various grilled specialties. Sahtein!
Lebanese restaurant with a wide selection of mezze: hummus, mtabbal, hindbeh, homemade lamb sausages, mixed grill platter, kibbeh. The appetizers, in particular, offer plenty of vegetarian options. Generous portions, but unfortunately the quality has been a bit inconsistent lately.
A Düsseldorf institution since 1991. As always, you have to come here hungry to truly savor the meze, shawarma, and grilled dishes. The entire interior was shipped by sea from Lebanon—so you won’t find a place quite like this anywhere else in Düsseldorf.
