""Rico Falafel" in Berlin reminds me of the culture that is about to disappear in the Middle East. It's not just that they make the best falafel in town..."

Nowadays you could think of falafel and hummus in the same way anyone would talk about pasta, a hamburger or fried chicken, in terms of international food.  And as such, quality wise, there are crappy and lousy examples as well as exquisites and delicious ones.

Well, Rico is in the second group.  My favourite is the falafel and hummus dish, but you could get it as a wrap or with pita bread as well.

Nurture yourself with a good meal in a good atmosphere. We are privileged that we can dine out, enjoy a couscous salad or a halloumi wrap, sharing a table with a stranger, breaking the ice by commenting how tasty the food is, and making friends for the sake of a good feast. Giving our 10 cents to make our little space a better place.

As the weather is a bit colder, besides the food they also have oriental tea, with mint, cinnamon and cardamom.

About me "Normality Is A Paved Road: It's Comfortable to Walk, but No Flowers Grow" - Vincent Van Gogh I'm malleable like copper, but a better conductor of heat and electricity. Why Berlin Berlin is a beehive always at boiling point. There is room for artists, families, night owls, fortune tellers, gatekeepers, tree whisperers, daydreamers, card givers, bigwigs and small folks. It's quite green and there are alternatives for every taste, age, vice, addiction, allergy and disease! Where else can you find me online?...

What makes them even more special is their friendly nature. On most days, you might run into their owner Jonathan, the heart and soul of the café. SPRO would not shine the same way without his thoughtfulness.

Libanon Falafel Berlin

Libanon Falafel

Berlin's Cheapest Snack

For €2, you can enjoy their falafel, shawarma, or kafta wrap. Their falafel wrap can be fully plant-based, too, just let them know, so they omit some sauces. They're better off as a snack because they're a bit on the smaller side.
