Home to what many consider the best hummus in town, along with other tempting vegetarian Middle Eastern salads and baked goods, Kanaan was founded by Oz Ben David, an Israeli, and Jalil Debit, a Palestinian. In a lively, welcoming peacock blue and white space just north of Helmholtzplatz in Prenzlauer Berg, Kanaan serves up a wide variety of small plates for lunch and big portions of mezze and mains to share for dinner. If you don’t have a (highly recommended) reservation, you’ll almost certainly have to stand in line to order and then wait a bit for your food; this a hugely popular place.

As well as serving what the restaurant claims is the best hummus in Berlin, Kanaan bridges the gap between German and Israeli-Palestinian palates. Typical German Kartoffelpuffer (potato pancakes), for example, use tahini rather than eggs and flour, in a creative fusion of the two cuisines. Fresh salads, hummus plates with various seasonal toppings, falafel made from a secret family recipe and veggie döners can be enjoyed in the restaurant’s simple yet chic interior space, or on the large outdoor terrace.

Jointly run by a Palestinian and an Israeli chef, Kanaan offers an excellent range of vegetarian and vegan delights and claims to make the best hummus in Berlin. It’s beside the train tracks and, on sunny days, there’s nothing better than sitting in the warm air and watching the trains go by. A particular crowd-pleaser is the turmeric rösti, a modern take on the German potato cake – hot, salty, fried, crisp goodness.

Kanaan, the phenomenal Israeli-Palestinian “peace project” restaurant in P’Berg, is still going strong in its new Kreuzberg location at Südstern station. Go for a big plate of hearty hummus and traditional shakshuka (eggs poached in spicy tomato sauce) in a chilled-out beer garden atmosphere.

It’s an irresistible hook: An Israeli marketer and a Palestinian chef meet in Berlin, bond over their shared culinary traditions and go into business together, eventually employing Syrian refugees as well. But Jalil Dabit and Oz Ben David’s Prenzlauer Berg restaurant has more to offer diners than a feel-good story. The hummus is fantastic, whether served on its own, in a sabich with eggplant, hard-boiled egg, mango sauce and spicy salsa, or as “hummshuka” with tomato-pepper sauce and a poached egg.

An Israeli and a Palestinian open a restaurant together: what could be the first line in a highly inappropriate joke is actually a culinary success story in Berlin’s Prenzlauer Berg, built on creamy, dreamy hummus and hospitality. They also recently opened a stall in Berlin’s foodie heaven, KaDeWe’s sixth floor – this city’s answer to London’s famous Harrods food hall. Address: Kopenhagener Straße 17, Prenzlauer Berg | Tue-Thu 5-10pm, Fri 12-10pm, Sat+Sun 10am-10pm
