The best street food venues of type "Levante cuisine" in North Rhine-Westphalia
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.
Arabic snack bar with first-class spit-roasted specialities. The star here, as the name suggests, is the very well-seasoned shawarma rolled in thin flatbread with pickled vegetables, a popular Levantine street food classic. Good: chicken. Even better: lamb.
Lebanese street food at its best. The rolling food truck not only delights with a fabulously juicy chicken shawarma, but also great falafel and kibbeh, creamy hummus and smoky baba ghanoush as well as various vegetable salads, sauces and dips.
Snack bar with a heart in a prime location in the old town and therefore a pub: open daily until shortly after midnight and even into the early hours of the morning on Saturdays. Favourites: Lebanese-style falafel makali with aubergines, cauliflower and beetroot and shawarma.
Honest, good Lebanese cuisine with a variety of vegetarian dishes, as well as specialities with chicken liver and lamb. The typical meat-rice-salad combo is broken up by simple but tasty vegetable dishes: Artichokes, sautéed dandelions, and Lebanese foul.
Tel Aviv cuisine in tune with the times - or even ahead of them? Trout in a butterfly cut was already being served here nine years ago. If you love variety, order the "Jerusalem" appetiser plate. But you can also simply dip a piece of flatbread in hummus. Lamb tagine? Please, yes!
Lebanese speciality restaurant with a sleek ambience - perfect for those who like things a little more upmarket. Traditional cold and warm starters are combined to suit your mood. With so much variety, the main courses can easily fall by the wayside.
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.
Traditional Lebanese cuisine at still fair prices. The various starters and main courses are varied, flavourful and fresh. It's worth coming with friends and sharing the many dishes as you would in a tapas bar. Take-away is also possible.
Arabic speciality restaurant in the Medienhafen. Thanks to the pretty seating and chill-out areas with lots of rattan, light colours and wood, a holiday feeling is guaranteed here. The gastronomic getaway in the form of shakshuka, hummus dishes, oriental bowls and more is the perfect accompaniment.
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.
Frills, plush, belly dancing and folklore; in this architecturally impressive restaurant with its original Lebanese décor, the main focus is on the supporting programme. The quality of the food is now somewhat variable. If you order the menu, you should come hungry.
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.
