We have been traveling Bavaria Germany and happened to find this place on a yelp as we strode off…read morethrough the rain about 1/2 a mlle to eat something tasty that was not pork knuckle or bratwurst. As I had forgotten in most European cities it is customary to have reservations, and of course we did not. This did not dissuade us as the proprietor of the restaurant and bar promptly allowed us to sit at the bar and order food. Much to our surprise it was not as busy yet as most other places however with reservations they bank on filling chairs with locals that frequent the establishment. The Ambiance: A quaint little (meaning noe more than about 30 seats in the restaurant total) with mediterranean motif, and a rustic greek flavor with the furniture. Light music could be heard in the background and the smells were of herbs and roasted meat. Perfect. The Service: Asked right away if we would like beverages we quickly grabbed an Israeli beer and my wife grabbed a coke. The beer was good - standard lager from just about anywhere that tastes relatively the same, however the bottling was clearly distinct and right from somewhere in Isael. We were also served promptly (probably within 10-15min) for our food. I had decided to get some chicken and hummus and the wife decided (as usual) to get the Argentinian steak. The Food: The food was amazing. Although I love my chicken and hummus with pita and garlic sauce / tzaziki -- the Argentinian steak (that I got a small morsel of) was excellent. Tender, flavorful, and quite a bog portion by european standards for the price. Summary: Moderately priced overall and with the flavors and service the service of the Mediterranean this was just what we needed to fuel our next day adventuring in Munich and Oktoberfest. PROST!

Some Hummus, Tabbouleh as well as a few other small dishes - more than enough for 2 people to share. The service wasn't quite 5/5, although they were clearly doing their best.

How do you say "yummy" in Lebanese?…read more My boyfriend is really into Lebanese food and we've been searching for a good spot in Munich, but it's been pretty hard to find something good -- until we found Ksara. This cute little bistro near Muenchner Freiheit offers a huge range of Lebanese treats from kibbe to schwarma to tasty starters like baba ganoush and hummus and much much more. One tip is to get the Mezze for four, it's a huge selection of small plates of over 20 of the top treats. Especially if you're not an expert at Lebanese food, this can be a fun and great way to sample your way through the cuisine. Highly recommended and, like I said, YUMMY!

Get here. This is…read morethe type of place I love to find while traveling. Super close to my hotel and right in the market area, it's a great + easy location. The service was top notch. Both people working were welcoming and friendly. And they even were patient with my awful attempts at speaking German. One person spoke English and was very helpful. The sandwich was super easy to take away and keep walking - which is what I love when I'm on the go exploring a new city - but the little tables outside would have worked well too on this beautiful(!) Munich day. I got the shawarma sandwich and it was AMAZING! Under €6 and substantially filling for a quick lunch. They put the meat and hummus in the perfect little pocket and let you add whatever veggies you want. Helpful, easy, and quick. They even do one with mixed falafel & shawarma. Definitely try this place out for welcoming atmosphere, delicious food & no hassle. Highly recommend!

The falafel sandwich was served with hummus, harissa, and veggies. One was quite filling. I also tried the shawarma salad plate. I didn't like that turkey was the only option for meat here (1 star off), but liked all the other things (hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, red cabbage, sauerkraut, mango curry sauce, pickles, olives, etc.) that composed the plate. The plate was filled to the max. Note: Cash only.

He told me later he was a Syrian, recently immigrated. We found common grounds to communicate. No problem with getting a meal ordered by me pointing at the great smelling meats being grilled and what the other patrons were eating. We ended up having one of the better meals we had in Munchen. Bread was fresh, stewed okra was nicely seasoned and cooked to a good consistency. The kebab was perfect. The lamb was tender and not over cooked. Great meal.

Came here with friends for dinner on a Friday night. We made reservations ahead of time since we…read morehad a pretty large group. The wait staff were polite and as attentive as they could be on an extremely busy night. I ordered the filet mignon medium rare. The filet came in different portion sizes and I ordered the smallest (250gm) however, they mistakenly gave me the large portion (350gm). The server admitted the mistake when I was given my meal. My steak was also not cooked well...kind of well done on the outside and raw in the middle. The server saw me cut it open and it was like he already knew and offered to take it back. So, my experience in a nutshell... 1. I was given the incorrect steak size AND charged for their mistake (46,20€ vs 33,00€ for the smaller one). 2. The steak was not cooked properly and they knew it before even serving it to me. 3. They could have given me the correct steak size when they took back the improperly cooked one but instead brought another large one. Bringing me the correct size the second time would have saved me 13,20€ especially since I couldn't finish it.
