What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Mahmoud's Bergheim is celebrated for its delicious and authentic Middle Eastern cuisine, with standout falafel and shawarma options. Many praise its extensive vegan and vegetarian choices and quick service. However, a few reviewers have noted issues with cleanliness and less-than-friendly staff, which detracts from the otherwise positive dining experience.
"The prices are fair and the taste of the food is amazing. Really really vegan friendly, but not exclusive vegan. You can get your food rolled in a thin bread or you can get a full dish on a plate. Great option for a quick, healthy and tasty lunch."
Manuel Melo Sanchez
"We ordered catering for a party from them. Very nice experience with good service and good food. Easy communication and friendly staff."
Michael Münch
"Amazing sumptuous shawarma. The chicken is grilled and marinated in a curry, served with fries potatoes, amazing sauces and a fresh bread. All in all, easily one of the best shawarmas in Germany."

Best Restaurants in Heidelberg
There is a large and multi-generational Turkish population in Germany, so I include my favourite middle eastern restaurants here too. Mahmoud’s has two locations, one off the big bus and tram exchange at Bismarckplatz, but the smaller one down a side street and in front of the red stone catholic church is one of best restaurants in Heidelberg. Their falafel with halloumi is something special for sure, and the prices are excellent.
