Libanon Express

Düsseldorf


Crammed with mirrors, tiles and other decorations from Lebanon, this cafe serves great kebabs, falafel and other Middle Eastern specialities. Its takeaway is a standout among competitors counting on customers to be too drunk to notice their poor fare. The adjoining sit-down restaurant has outdoor tables with a front seat on Berger Strasse frivolity; inside it's all Arabian Nights fantasy.
