A surprising stroke of luck in Düren.
I wouldn't have expected such authentic Syrian/Arabic cuisine here.
The shawarma are very tasty. The portion is a bit smaller (more of a snack than a main meal), but absolutely reasonable for the price.
The Biriyani, a rice dish, is well seasoned and the chicken in it is of good quality.
Fatteh is an Arabic salad consisting of fried bread and chickpeas in yogurt sauce. The combination may be a little unusual for German tastes, but very tasty if eaten fresh before the bread gets too soggy.
The kibbeh are not dried out, as is often the case, and are also filled.
Of course you can also find tabbouleh and hummus, as well as what is definitely the best falafel in all of Düren.
If you go out to eat with someone who doesn't want to get involved in unfamiliar tastes, there are still the usual burgers, chicken and fries. However, I can't say anything about them because I haven't tried them.
Overall, a real insider tip and I hope that a restaurant like this can survive in Düren. The staff are very friendly and strive to fulfill the guests' wishes.
We had a wonderful dinner. The food was delicious, the service was attentive and the atmosphere was simply wonderful. The owner was particularly warm and looked after us lovingly. We'll definitely be back!
I also tested this kebab over the last few days and wasn't really impressed. The meat was okay but unfortunately not warm enough. The bread also lacked temperature. The sauces were absolutely not my cup of tea. Very mayonnaise-heavy and, in my personal taste, doesn't go well with a kebab. The salad selection was good and fresh. Hence two stars for the food. The staff could have been a bit more professional but were friendly. Unfortunately the ambience was not good. The tables were not cleaned and the toilet was unreasonable. Tastes are different and there are plenty of alternatives. I'm not coming back.
