Rico Falafel Berlin

Rico Falafel Berlin

The best falafel in town

""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.
