Superb!!! Beyond amazing authentic Lebanese food! It was so fun to come to Denmark and try a wide variety of food/culture. This restaurant was top tier! Chef's kiss for quality and presentation. The restaurant was beautiful. Had to keep returning! read more

Mahalle Birkegade - Hummus, falafel, pita chips, heaven - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Copenhagen, 84

A cute little restaurant with yummy food. Love that everything is shared plates. The halloumi and avocado pizza was delicious but the falafel was a little dry and the eggplant was not my favorite. Wish it was crispy instead. read more

Mahalle Birkegade - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Copenhagen, 84

First of all I need to confess that I've only been in Copenhagen for two months and I've already been to Mahalle three times! This place is amazing. I live in Nørrebro so it's easy to walk there, but to be honest location is not the main reason I come. Every time I walk in I find myself in a cozy place, like I could be having coffee in the comfort of my house but with the perk of being it served to me. COME WHEN YOU ARE HUNGRY. They have the best snacks/light meals in the city and the prices are also very attractive. My absolute favourite is Haloumi salad: pita bread, hummus, haloumi cheese and avocado. FAN-TAS-TIC! Mint lemonade is a go if you are not into coffee or if you are looking for something a bit more refreshing. read more

GET THE HALLOUMISALAT! Great and inexpensive. The word salad (look at the menu) may be little bit confusing, because it doesn't look like a salad at all. It's actually round shape Khobes (fladbrød), topped with hummus, sesame, fried halloumi (goat-sheeps milk semi hard cheese), avocado, pomegranate and mint. Everything is nicely styled on the plate, cut in 8 pieces and it's enough to fill up your stomach. I was lucky I had hungry international company with me, so we ordered some falafel, hummus, Sawda dajaj (chicken liver), Baba ganoush (eggplant tahini dip) and ... again one more HALLOUMISALAT ;) Falafel - 5 pc in one portion, tasted great! Well balanced and cooked just right. Hummus - good hummus with garlic and olive oil Baba ganoush - excellent! Sawda dadaj - perhaps it was made traditionally, but for me, the onion was too raw, there was too much lemon and not enough garlic. But I'm a closet master for Sawda dadaj, so I'm maybe too strict in my way. To drink, we ordered organic apple juice (I recommend it for sure) and traditional mint-ginger tea. Don't forget they put some sugar into the tea right away, so if you would like to have tea without sugar you have to mention it. (I recommend to order everything as is offered to try their way) Ginger was actually only one large piece in the bottom. I would cut it in few smaller pieces so ginger can better extract. There is also jug with tap mint (old) water. In this review I rate only the Food and Beverage. I skip rating service and interior, because I think F&B quality is very high (even it takes time - look at the plate, you will understand why), but service is not. We got drinks after a long time and we got the food before the cutlery. No napkins were offered. Interior is nice, but it could be more tidy (counter) and some decorations are a bit awkward/silly. But once again we went there because of food and the food was stunning!!! Greetings to the kitchen. I will be back for Halloumisalat! Thank you for reading it and .... Yes, life is tasty! Go for it! read more

What you can love about Nørrebro is that there is such great variety of cultures, offering the perfect setting for a Lebanese cafe like Mahalle. It is a cute cafe close to Sankt Hans Torv which serves good food in mezze style. An alternative lunch/brunch place where instead of the typical cafe food you get hummus, olives, pita bread, spices etc. We were there for lunch time after 12:30 and we were not the only ones. Seemed like people have discovered this place for lunch. I had the mezze plate that included different kind of pastes and pita bread. This is a cold meal, nothing is warmed up apart from the haloumi cheese. It was really good and the portion was almost too large. The service was very friendly and the girl explained what we wanted to know about the menu. The food came out quite fast and we all enjoyed what we had ordered. We also had their home tea, which I found a bit too strong as a taste. The prices were on the cheap side considering average Danish prices, especially if one would share and order few mezze plates. The interior is really cute and I was surprised I didn't know about mahalle thinking that I live not too far from it. I am glad I came across Mahalle and I recommend it for an alternative brunch or lunch! read more

Mahalle Birkegade - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Copenhagen, 84

I absolutely loved this place! Very fresh and satisfying. I think the falafel and muhammara were some of the best I've ever had. The hummus and baba ganoush weren't bad, but they didn't stand out as much as the other two; the baba ganoush had less of that smokey eggplant flavor I like, and the hummus didn't have and red pepper paste in it. The baba ganoush did have pomegranate seeds in it, so that was a nice touch. I didn't try any of their drinks. I will definitely be visiting this place again, and I look forward to when I will do so! read more

Just went for the first time last Saturday, and it was amazing. Easily one of my new favorites in the city. I hadn't even finished my meal before making plans to return. I tried the halloumi salad, hummus, baba ganoush, and za'taar. The halloumi salad was really spectacular- especially for only 70kr. The flavors were fresh and the flatbread was a perfect base. The dips were also really tasty- the hummus was smooth with just the right mix of lemon and garlic. We arrived at 12.30 on a Saturday and it was almost full- we got the last two chairs in the room. The only thing to note is that there isn't really a great place to hang out and wait for people to leave if you arrive when it's full- but that won't stop me from going back. read more

I've seen pictures of this flatbread with neatly-arranged slices of avocado and I was surprised to find out that it was a halloumi salad (75 dkk). I had not even noticed it in the photos before, but I love that squeaky cheese so of course I had to order that. Seeing as how they were having a 50% offer in collaboration with Yelp, I also got some yoghurt (30 dkk) to soothe my sore stomach, mint tea (30 dkk) because it is always tea time in my book, and of course I had to try a falafel (5 dkk per piece). That halloumi salad easily lives up to the hype. Although the flatbread is not homemade and a little dry, it is merely a vehicle for the delicious toppings. With the hummus and halloumi it is bordering on a touch too salty, but the sweet-and-sourness from the pomegranate arils as well as the perfectly ripe avocado and shredded fresh mint balance it out. I also dipped some pieces in the yoghurt, which had a well filled with olive oil and za'atar. This smoothed out the flavour even more, and I highly recommend getting the two dishes together. I also used some yoghurt to dip the falafel. Ok, this was SO good. I have eaten so many in my years living in Nørrebro and this is possibly the best one; perfectly fried to a crisp, with sesame seeds coating the exterior, and bright green with parsley inside. All other falafels, GO HOME. The interior is cozy and there is seating outside. Although the girl was not very smiley, she was friendly and did her best to accomodate me. I would love to come back and try the other menu offerings, but I am sure that halloumi salad and some falafel will make their way onto my plate. read more

I'm a big fan of Mahalle. It's a small Turkish/Lebanese café owned by two young girls. They serve Turkish/Lebanese breakfast, lunch and coffee/tea. There are not very much at the menu - but that's not a bad thing. Rather few but good thing. Because what's actually on the menu is really good. So far I've had the Lebanese breakfast, the Lebanese lunch and coffee and cake - all really good and for a good price. I can definitely recommend to have lunch here. read more

Not very big inside and they didn't have falafel :( but the food was really good and good service! read more

Delicious food, great decoration and atmosphere. Friendliest service you can possibly get in cph!

Absolutely lovely! Everything I tried was great, especially the fresh juices and Za'atar. Would definitely come back if I'm around again in Nørrebro :) read more

Tried out this place because of the yelp special - really good food, every portion is on the small side and meant to be shared so be prepared to order a bunch of different things to try out. The mint iced lemonade was amazing. Would recommend for a afternoon snack more than a hungry stomach. read more

I am really annoyed with Mahalle. I have seen the offer on Yelp and since I have passed the place couple of times already I decided it is a good occasion to try their food. I have planned a lunch with my friends and we arrived on Sunday only to find out that the offer doesn't work anymore. Even though the offer still appears on Yelp! I found it really annoying especially since I have invited my friends and we were not prepared to pay the full price. I think it is really unprofessional from both sides to put your customers in such a position! read more
