I don't know how anyone could give this place less than 5 stars; if I could give it 6, I would…read more First: the food is absolutely delightful. There are tons of options, including many vegetarian ones, and I have yet to try a dish that wasn't beautifully made, with balanced, light flavors. There are lots of beans, lentils, vegetables, yogurt-based sauces, olives, cheeses, stews, bread, tea, three or four variety of starchs--rice, couscous, bulgur, etc-, burek, fried stuff, baked stuff, boiled stuff.... Sometimes, if I need to eat one meal in a day, I'll go here. Second: the people that work here come from various places--Turkey, Lebanon, Germany, Cuba...ALL of them (that I've met) are friendly, generous, and welcoming (and patient as I point at the different foods to pile my plate with!). The atmosphere of the restaurant is awesome: a clean, simple yet warm vibe, classical music playing, and a back room where you can look onto the back yard. Third: you are getting ALL of this for either 7 or 9 Euro. I come from NYC, where one can easily--and in fact often does--pay twice that amount for food half as good. SUPPORT places like this, that offer lovingly made, healthy, delicious food for good prices....this is my favorite restaurant BY FAR in the neighborhood, and there are many other good ones here. I've brought about 4 friends here and all of them have been blown away...one even told me the next day, "dude, I can't stop thinking about that restaurant!".

I was quite amazed at how much food could fit on one plate! The service was amazing & such heart-felt. I would recommend this place to anyone! Although bear in mind there is not a whole lot of space to sit.

How I got here: I was walking down the streets of Lutherstadt Wittenberg with my friend, on the way back after spending the afternoon shopping in the local mall. I told my friend, I was craving a good Shawarma and she suggested this new place that had great Falafel wraps. That's how we ended up at Al Rayyan. = Ambience: It's a small place with seats outside. We were greeted by a smiling man behind the counter. We ordered at the counter. Saw as our order was made and took a seat outside with our steaming hot wraps. Food: My friend ordered a Falafel shawarma (wrap) and I got the lamb one. The falafels were made after she ordered so when they came out they were steaming hot! It looked delicious and I regret not ordering a side of falafel for myself. The sheared the lamb from the döner, put the shawarma bread on the pan and then started to lay out the meat on it. I chose garlic sauce on my shawarma. There were other options as well. It comes with lettuce, onions, tomato, chili and other sauces. You can choose to add or remove as per your liking. The size of the wrap is huge! We ordered to eat in house and they added a dollop of sauce on the top (Yumm!!!) You don't get this if you order to-go so if you're planning to walk around and eat, I'd suggest ordering to eat and then walking off with your wraps. I had a bite from my friends Falafel wrap and the falafels were crispy and flavorful. I left with my craving satisfied. As I am writing this, the photo and the thought of it makes my mouth water. I guess I know, what I'm having for dinner!

First to review. What a feather in my cap…read more Okay, I'm mostly doing this for the novelty of yelping about an establishment in a foreign country: On a recent trip abroad, I had a unique opportunity to go out for Mediterranean cuisine in Germany. Reading a menu of Greek dishes in German is definitely a surreal experience when your native tongue is English. The food was passable and the environment was pleasant, but the main reason this restaurant stands out to me is the complementary Ouzo served at the beginning and end of the meal. Some people hate Ouzo. I happen to love it. I loved it enough to drink my dining companions' Ouzo in addition to mine so it wouldn't go to waste, which may explain why I remember little else about the experience. Yassou!

I would come back to Berlin just to eat here. We had avia as our server, she was knowledgeable and so so kind - avia needs a raise!!!

The space itself is small and while it isn't fancy definitely "mit Liebe eingerichtet" and the two owners (seems to be a family business, but I didn't ask) are also lovely.
