The Best Falafel Restaurants in Berlin
Berlin is known for its culinary diversity, and little else is as popular as the city’s favourite fast and cheap vegetarian eats: falafel. The delicious chickpea balls with herbs and spices served in wraps, sandwiches, and on flavourful mixed plates (Teller), can be found at restaurants, food stands and kiosks across the city. Here are the very best spots for falafel in Berlin.
