"This cozy Syrian bistro just off busy, bar-hoppy Boxhagener Platz may serve Berlin’s best hummus. It’s creamy and garlicky, with just the right amount of lemon tang, and the version with toasted nuts is a particular highlight. The rest of the menu focuses on specialties from the city of Aleppo, such as pomegranate salad or kibbeh with tender meat and crispy bulgur. Meze are a big focus, so bring a group and order the whole menu." - Tim Forster
