The best street food venues of type "Levante cuisine" in Cologne
Hummus for the advanced. The chickpea puree flavoured with olive oil and tahini is served here with a silky-smooth texture and outstanding combinations. Shakshuka is served on Saturdays from 12 noon to 5 pm, and a "hummus of the week" provides fun, enjoyment and excitement.
Falafel König is king. The small snack bar on Venloer Straße has been serving top-quality falafel sandwiches for years. You can also treat yourself to a Lebanese plate - vegetarian with börek, aubergine cream, hummus and taboulé. Some Shawarma with curry pineapple sauce, please.
The Lebanese snack bar in the vibrant neighbourhood of Latäng has long been something of a culinary institution. Fans rave about the crispy falafel, the juicy shawarma roll and the cool vibes. A lavishly stocked party platter is recommended for private parties.
A quaint restaurant with lovely oriental cuisine. The various Lebanese mezze are particularly popular, including well-known dishes such as hummus, stuffed vine leaves and kibbeh, as well as fried chicken livers, lamb tartare and boiled dandelions with roasted onions.
Hip Israeli-Levantine fast food in Balagan style. Translated, this means "likeable chaos", i.e. everything on one table: taboulé, falafel, cauliflower with tahini, hummus variations and homemade chicken, lamb or oyster mushroom shawarma.
A little piece of Lebanon at Lenauplatz. The food is more rustic than refined, but well flavoured, freshly prepared and definitely tasty. The service and interior, however, could do with an upgrade. However, the pretty location mostly makes up for the minor flaws.
Grilled chicken with an oriental flavour - the broilers come with basmati rice, flatbread or chips. Part of the oddball, cult flair is probably the fluctuating quality. The sandwiches taste best, also with chicken or falafel, lots of sauce and salad.
