KEBAP GOALS at Kwa Kebap with Attitude. ”And then the rotating skewers of agony were blinded by the light from Gipsstraße”. Based on my lunch last week, I’d say Kwa Kebap with Attitude is at 75%, looking forward to them reaching 100% true Turkish meat bliss in the next years.

Among all the falafel and hummus shops in Berlin, Kanaan might have the biggest following. On a residential street in Prenzlauer Berg, this slightly shabby restaurant serves an Israeli-Palestinian menu. Hummus is the thing here, so for an easy pick skip the falafel and start with the mixed starter plate with filled vine leaves, beet root salad and baba samir. Add Israeli hummus with chopped egg, potato, egg plant, mango sauce and pickles, grab a pita bread and go!

Fine Levantine cuisine in the heart of Berlin by an Israeli chef and German sommelier coupleFeaturing an amazing wine list of East Med and Levantine varieties. No hummus or baba ganoush here but think pigeon with lightly smoked raw chickpeas and grape leaves or Lebanese lobster claw with akkoub (a wild foraged plant) dashi. Camel tartare, khubeza wild spinach leaves and other delicacies also feature. Wonderful service complements the unique experience.

Hole in the wall, no frills Levantine breakfast and lunch.This easy to miss, and rather grungy feeling hole in the wall restaurant on Berlin’s Sonnenallee serves up some rustic but highly flavoursome Levantine dishes such as musabaha, foul & fatteh. Most plates come with a side of pickles, herbs and flat bread. This place is high in flavour and low in price - don’t expect friendly service, or any frills here.

Finding good lunches in Berlin can be a bit difficult. I'm always saying that Berliners are still sleeping during lunch. Goldadelux is run by two Israelians, they are based on Erkelenzdamm and they do good vegan and vegetarian stuff, like sabich and other filled pitas. It's fresh and healthy fast food, which is quite different to what you normally see. I always have the Chai there, they do it by themselves and I really love it.
