Bringing Syrian cuisine to Berlin is Yarok, meaning ‘green’ in Hebrew and symbolising solidarity between people. This welcoming, cosy restaurant, located on the quieter end of Torstraße brings together a rich blend of flavours perfectly combined in a rich selection of both traditional and modern Syrian dishes. For first-timers, the mixed platter is a must-try, as it shows off the fresh produce and fragrant flavours of this joint. The highlight of any Yarok dish is, of course, the falafel, deliciously crisp on the outside and spiced to perfection, making it one of the best spots in Mitte.

Dada Falafel
