Mahmoud's Altstadt in Heidelberg

We ate lentil soup and falafel menu for 2 and it was so fresh with all ingredients. Also the portion was really big we couldn't finish it. Its a good spot for a street food.

Mahmoud Falafel in Heidelberg is simply fantastic! The mixed shawarma platter is an absolute must - a great combination of perfectly seasoned shawarma, crispy falafel, fresh tabbouleh, creamy hummus and delicious baba ghanoush. Every component is full of flavor, and you immediately notice the quality and freshness of the ingredients. The service is super friendly and the atmosphere invites you to linger. Absolutely recommended for lovers of authentic oriental cuisine!

Small shop, best to take with you.

Best falafel place in town prepared with love and all flavors are delicious. They are kind and helpful. Love to come back here since they opened

My absolute favorite food in Heidelberg, as a snack or great plates to share :)

Extremely delicious falafel eaten here! Highly recommended. Lots of vegetarian dishes.

Always delicious and a quick lunch in the autumn sun...

Very nice. Hallumi/tabbouleh sandwich, excellent. Fresh and fragrant products.

Very good and high quality food. A must try if you're visiting Heidelberg.

Very tasty and diverse offering. The preparation goes very quickly, so the waiting time is short. Falafel really good! One point deducted because the sesame sauce is a bit runny and less flavorful.

The food is prepared very attractively and tastes excellent.

I can only recommend. Delicious

Good food in itself, but I have a gluten intolerance and the special plate is reduced to a maximum of half the portion if you choose the gluten-free version. However, the price remains the same and in this case is absolutely excessive. It would really be fair to fill the plate with a few more vegetables and salad.

We ordered a falafel and a shawarma box to take away. There was a maggot crawling around in the shawarma box. We tried calling the restaurant to report the problem because we were always happy otherwise, but after several attempts no one answered.

It was delicious and super sweet You have to go over there

I like it Good service and food

I just paid with card, waited, took my food and started eating, then one of the workers comes up to me and says that the payment didn't work. I check my bank account and the money is gone. That's just ugly.

Solid falafel plate with tasty hummus and baba ghanoush!

Food is good, sometimes too many flavors on one plate. Price-performance is also ok. Staff not overly friendly and not particularly communicative.

Good service, fast and excellent handling.

Food is delicious and quite cheap.

It was really better than last time...

God willing, may God bless something good, clean and tidy 👍👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Mediocre food, musty service and dirty toilets!

Maybe the only restaurant that doesn't sell alcohol among other "halal restaurants". Great people and great food and the greatest choice for muslims. Shawarma was very delicious and the portion was big.

Very good and tasty food with fresh ingredients and very affordable prices

Long-known falafel shop in Heidelberg... Vegetarians and vegans love it.

We ended up here purely by chance. Strolled through the old town of Heidelberg and spontaneously satisfied our hunger. Short and sweet. The falafel are excellent. Keep it up.

A Lebanese snack bar with absolutely delicious oriental dishes for self-collection, which can also be eaten at the beer table furniture before the snack.

Had the special vegetarian and vegan plate and highly recommended both. Very varied and absolutely excellent in taste with very reasonable prices at the same time. I'd love to come back

Excellent! Everything is absolutely delicious, perfectly seasoned! We really liked it! Falafel perfect!

Incredibly delicious shawarma! I was in the mood for a Dürüm and got a shawarma here, the first time I had ever eaten it, world class 😍

Very tasty food, varied and everything freshly prepared. A bit off the main street, so not overcrowded with tourists.

The food was very, very tasty.. The service was also great.. gladly again

Small, fine snack. As we walked past, we admired the beautifully prepared plates and then came here later to eat. Both falafel plates and the mixed plates were extremely good, for around €13. Quantity was more than enough. We sat comfortably outside. Inside it is rather narrow and just like any other snack bar.

Great food, the only thing I felt was a little off was that the only warm food item were the falafel. Would have been perfect if the zucchini etc were also warm. Overall delicious and warmly recommended.

Great value for money, excellent food, just can't stop eating😍

All in all, it's been very good here for years! Despite price increases, a good price-performance ratio. And some things taste really delicious, especially the combination plates... Just a little criticism: It irritates me that the tables aren't cleaned often enough. Music is sometimes very loud. The shawarma box often has completely different ingredients than before. This should be more reliable and if something isn't there and you get something else instead, that should be addressed. Nevertheless, I always like to come back. Best regards

I always enjoyed coming here until I noticed that the employees have a lack of hygiene when it comes to eating and preparing the food... the employee collects money, wears a glove on only one hand and then folds the wraps with his bare hand and the glove, both of which touched and cleaned the money and the cash register and the surfaces... Absolutely no go! I ran out again 😔

Arabic fast food. Food freshly prepared, tasty, reasonable prices, very friendly service. Not at ground level, toilet in the back yard not easy to reach. Also tables outside.

food was super delicious! Real feel-good atmosphere here

This is amazing. Holy moly. Really delicious sauces, and hummus. Super crispy and fresh falafel. Combination is amazing. It’s fresh, it’s crunchy, it’s sauvory, it’s perfect. But just as good are the people who serve you here, lovely, friendly and down to earth.

Super tasty and fresh food, the employees are also very polite and friendly. I felt very comfortable and would love to come back✨

Price performance was just OK for the special plate

Tried the store because of the good reviews. I have to honestly say my expectations were exceeded. The falafel in combination with the hummus and the salad is absolutely amazing. The shawarma was very good. The meat was well seasoned and nice and juicy. There was a lot going on when we were there. Nevertheless, we were able to place our order quickly and received the food in a reasonable time. The service at the checkout was friendly and nice. A bit hectic because there was a lot going on, but understandable. Price-performance ratio fits. I'm looking forward to my next visit to Heidelberg to eat here again. I can only recommend.

The falafel was OK, but could be better. The salad wasn't very fresh. It was very dry, could use more juicy salad and sauce.

The place wasn't so bad and the food wasn't very horrible as well. But how one of the unfriendly staff was acting weird and disrespectful was definitely disappointing. I was asking for a plate and tried to ask what I would prefer but wasn’t even given the chance to talk, and when I asked him to not put something, he just put it anyway. I would never go there again and don’t recommend anyone who doesn’t like to be disrespected. The place wasn't that bad and the food wasn't that terrible either. But the way one of the rude employees behaved strangely and disrespectfully was definitely disappointing. I ordered a plate and tried to ask what I would prefer but I didn't even get the chance to talk and when I didn't want something he added it anyway. I would never go there again and don't recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to be treated like that.

Very tasty, a very positive surprise

Absolute recommendation The food tastes fresh and absolutely delicious.

The food was good. It's something different. Here it comes. The toilets were a brutal shock for me. I thought I was in Syria, it looked so run down there. I saw on a cooking show that you should check whether the toilets in the restaurants are reasonably hygienic. If that's not the case, it could be similar with the hygiene of the kitchen. Afterwards I told myself: if I don't get food poisoning the next day then it's fine.

You can perhaps put up with bad-tempered service staff, tables sticky, strange backyard toilets, but if the hummus tastes like it was made by a beginner, then you'll be very disappointed. Hummus without garlic, without cumin, without olive oil; loveless and bland.

When it came to the shwarma platter, I forgot to say that it was made vegan. However, when it came to the salad, I said vegan please. Abud still served us meat on our plate. When asked, he reacted aggressively, insulted me and yelled at me in front of my family. Other guests supported me. His colleague, in turn, was very friendly and arbitrated. I assume that Abud has something against people who want to avoid animal suffering. This kind of behavior in sales is an absolute no-go!

Falafel and hummus are very tasty. Will definitely come back.

Excellent food, you order at the counter and you bring the plate yourself. Located in an alley perpendicular to Hauptstraße. Excellent service. The Muhammara and hummus are top.

Had falafel with maqali in bread. No one was listened to and it was not possible to make your own choice of sauce/requests. The wrap was also cold. The only positive thing was the large vegetarian and partly vegan selection.

The food was very fresh and tasty. We were told what we didn't know. We would love to come back.

The food was not freshly prepared, everything was cold and stale. The pastes were average. The falafel were not particularly good. The man serving me showed the bare minimum of friendliness. Bad value for money. Would not come here again.

Very good food while sightseeing, I recommend it.

We happened to be there and became curious. Delicious food in thin bread to take away. It was very delicious. We'll be back when we're in HD.

My stomach was happy with the feast, although I didn't have the slightest hint of what I ordered, but it was good

Mahmoud’s is really recommended. Arabic food is based on delicious falafel, decorated with fresh ingredients and salads. The price is absolutely fair. Preparation time is comparable to that of a kebab.

The tastiest falafel, in my humble opinion. The hummus was also exceptional and I also appreciated the amount of fresh salad. I'm looking forward to my next visit to try other dishes!

Delicious food. Easy nice cooks/service. Nice quiet place.

Unfortunately, I was really disappointed by the quality of the food! We had two plates, the falafel special plate, and the Shawarma special place… there was nothing special about it!

Must try: Vegan Jackfruit Shawarma 🥳

Eat sola, falafel cold, tabouhle dry. Shop completely dirty, all empty tables not cleaned, full of leftover food, toilets catastrophic. Never again.

Shawarma with falafel was very dry there was almost no sauce! Also tables were dirty.

Best sharwarma I've ever eaten and very filling at 7 euros

Food delicious. However, a very, very small portion considering that I paid €13 for the plate. Didn't even get full.

The best falafel I've ever eaten!

WOW...pure taste experience....everyone who is in Heidelberg should get something to eat here....

Both the falafel and the vegan "shawarma" made from jackfruit convinced me - they also knew straight away what was vegan. I come from Berlin and am very spoiled when it comes to kebab and falafel, but the shop is really great and professional

Great quality food, good atmosphere. Clean and friendly service. Fair price.

Good option for Falafel in Heidelberg

Good libanese fast food restaurant

All very good and generous in portions. I must say that the atmosphere is also very nice, it is frequented by students and above all therefore all very young people who are very approachable and very nice and kind. The clean bathroom is very well stocked

I ordered the shawarma via UberEats. Everything happened very quickly and it was very tasty. Definitely again :)

I sometimes get my shwarma there. It's also the best I've ever eaten, even if it's not as filling as a kebab. The people there are absolute men of honor!

Unbeatably good wraps & hummus. Unfortunately there are few seats

Ich finde das Essen lecker, aber mittlerweile zu teuer. Die Qualität ist dabei eher gesunken, auch bei der Quantität habe ich diesen Eindruck. Außerdem fühle ich mich als queere Person nicht wohl dort - das Personal ist homophob und auch sonst nicht besonders freundlich.

Köstlich, großartig, ein lukullischer Hochgenuss wie immer!! Verlassen Sie Heidelberg nicht, ohne bei Mahmoud's gegessen zu haben - wenn Sie orientalische Küche lieben!! Auch Gerichte für Vegetarier!!

Sehr nettes Personal und das Essen ist auch gut

Sehr netter Chef und gutes Essen. Gerne wieder!

Shawarma mit Hallumi …. eine Offenbarung!!

Das Essen war wirklich überragend gut. Das Ambiente ist nicht gerade das schönste und eine Bedienung am Tisch gibt es auch nicht, jedoch merkt man das durch das tolle Essen überhaupt nicht. Die Preise sind auch vollkommen fair! Definitiv eine Empfehlung meinerseits.

Authentisch und verdammt lecker! Ich bin inzwischen ein großer Fan und kann alles auf der Karte wärmstens empfehlen.

One of the best felafel restaurant in Heidelberg. We ordered a vegetarian platter and a shawarma platter with chicken. Everything taste good. This place have limited seats so you may have to wait.

Das Mahmouds ist ein wunderbarer Imbissladen, ich verköstige mich an Arbeitstagen immer wiedermal dort, wenn es schnell gehen muss. Am Besten schmeckt das Tabouleh und der Kichererbsensalat, mit einer großen gemischten Platte kann man aber am Wenigsten falsch machen. Eine Empfehlung an alle.

Tasty food. Great spot to eat in the old city

Es gibt genug Sitzplätze und Tische. Die Angestellten ließen sich nicht aus der Ruhe bringen, trotz großen Andrang ( Weihnachtsmarkt Zeit). Die Bestellungen wurden schnell erledigt. Es war alles lecker

Immer wieder einen Besuch wert!

Geschmacklich okay, Bedienung ging so

I really liked the food, my companion not so much, some vegan options, atmosphere not that great, would not recommend to use the facilities

Great food & prices, excellent vegetarian options, perfect location !

Sehr lecker, bezahlbare Preise und man wird satt

Lecker. Gute Preis-Leistung. Nur die Toilette ist suboptimal.

Sehr gut, als Berliner hat man Ansprüche und die wurden voll erfüllt.

Mein Besuch in diesem arabischen Falafel-Laden übertraf meine Erwartungen bei weitem. Ich entschied mich für einen gemischten Bowlteller und war absolut begeistert von der Vielfalt und dem Geschmack auf meinem Teller. Die Falafel, gemischt mit verschiedenen anderen köstlichen Zutaten, waren einfach vorzüglich und ließen mich den Geschmack der authentischen arabischen Küche erleben. Der Preis für die gebotene Qualität war fair und angemessen. Insgesamt kann ich diesen Laden nur empfehlen. Die Qualität des Essens und das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis machen ihn zu einem großartigen Ort für alle, die authentische arabische Speisen genießen möchten

ich war bin begeistert. Anfangs war ich verwirrt (wo ist dönerspieß) und hab nach einem döner gefragt, dann hat er auf das Hühnchen gezeigt und sagte ich kann dir (Shwarma) oder so... machen... ich habe das ganze Vertrauen ihm geschenkt ab da. Ich muss sagen ich bin sehr schwer zu begeistern mit Essen, aber was er mir da gezaubert hat, ich kann es nicht in worte fassen... wow ich werde nie wieder döner essen wollen.

Freundliche atmosphäre Essen war einfach, aber sehr lecker
