Berliner falafel · Berlin

Crisp green-flecked chickpea balls in pita with sumac onion, tahini, pickled turnip and crunchy salads. The Berlin Levantine sandwich, sold at corner kiosks across Kreuzberg and Mitte.

Berlin's Levantine community grew sharply after 2015 with the arrival of Syrian refugees, building on a Lebanese and Palestinian base that has been in the city since the 1980s. Dada Falafel opened on Linienstrasse in Mitte in the late 1990s and remains a city reference; Maroush in Kreuzberg, Hummus and Friends, and the wider Sonnenallee and Oranienstrasse counters carry the broader Levantine canon. The Berlin street pita is heavier on the tahini and lighter on the chilli than its Tel Aviv ancestor.
