I love poetry. Especially about food. So inspiring! I was buying a fountain pen at Lamy around the corner and they suggested I stop in to Mahmoud's for a bite. Glad I did. Fresh and plentiful ingredients and toppings. Crunchy felafel. Flavorful curry infused shawarma. Chewy bread. 100% delicious. Off the beaten path. Highly recommended.

On a bright and hot Sunday, I found this place at a time I was in desperate need of a meal and…read moreshade. This restaurant looked inviting and smelled heavenly, so I wandered inside. I seated myself at a table, and someone brought me a menu promptly. It was quite hefty, showing that this place had more options than what you could see at the grab and go counter in the front. It is all in German, so English speakers be prepared, but other than that it was easy to navigate and had many options for all palates. I ordered the falafel teller (plate) and a water, and while I was waiting and small basket of pita bread (very thin) was brought to my table. When my meal arrived, the falafel was very hot, obviously fried fresh, and the sesame dip was splendid with it. My simple side salad was also very refreshing, as I was still hot from exploring the castle ruins that morning. I highly recommend this place to anyone in Heidelberg. Whether you want a quick snack or a sit down meal, this place will have you covered. It is also very reasonably priced compared to everything around as well!

WOW. 5 Stars for a fabulous Lebanese restaurant that delivered on flavor, texture, authenticity,…read moreand location. I love visiting Heidelberg when I'm in Germany and walking through the streets imagining I am a college student at a gorgeous European campus of the oldest university in Germany. We saw this highly rated spot while walking along the cobblestone streets and decided to stop for food. We ordered the mixed plate which featured babaganoush, hummus, falafel (donut shaped), potatoes, eggplant, roasted cauliflower, salad, spinach pastry, and cheese pastry. When I tell you were could not stop raving about each and every aspect of this dish, I am not exaggerating. I legitimately think the people at the table next to us got annoyed at these overly animated Americans. I will dream about these donut-shaped falafels as there is nothing like them where I live (so so far away). We also opted for a glass of Lebanese dry white wine, which was super crisp and pleasant. Overall, a must-try when in Heidelberg. I wish I had been able to take some more to-go- especially since we saw that that they have convenient lunch-box style offerings for the college students.

The food there is stunningly good, so I know what great Middle Eastern food taste like. And, I have to say this absolutely qualifies. If I close my eyes, I would swear that this were prepared by someone back home. The hummus is silky smooth, and flavorful without being overly garlicky. The tabouli is fresh and light, with just the slightest hint of mint to it. But, the falafel is the real star here. Falafel can be done in a way that's too greasy, but this is crisp and tasty, exactly the way an expert at the cuisine prepares things. Even better, the prices are very reasonable. And, because everything is prepared in a way that's not heavy at all, you will feel compelled to eat more. This is a very good thing indeed. The place is very small, with enough room for maybe eight people to sit, so you may want to order this to go.
