Mahmoud's Bergheim — Restaurant in Heidelberg

The food was very tasty. I had the Special with Shawarma, with a flatbread.

I have two criticism and they're fairly small.

The first is that due to my 12 month old child equivalent in German language skills, the lack of a menu in English poses a problem. However this can be solved by using the camera function in Google translate, and it definitely worked well enough to make my choice.

The second criticism is about the flatbread. Although it was acceptable, I have eaten some pretty tasty Arab flatbreads in my time, the best I've found so far where in Bahrain, however this kind of felt shop bought and I felt this takes away from the overall experience of the meal, especially as everything else tasted so good and freshly made. I could be wrong about the flatbread being bought but it tasted like standard flatbreads you can buy in some UK supermarkets.

Overall however the food was fantastic, and I would thoroughly recommend eating there. Just room for improvement...

Normally I would give a 5, but I noticed these days they are falling for their own reputation. Schwarma is mixed with potatoes. Less falafels are packed in the sandwich for the same price.

On asking, the employee mentioned that he forgot and gave me two more. On another two occasions, the guy gave me a schwarma teller, with two pieces of chicken on it and rest were potatoes. On asking, the new employee said that it was normal. Sorry. I have been coming to your shop for years! Then he gave me some more on a separate plate. I do not want to put down a business in public, but this I'm sharing after having repeated issues and even after addressing it to them face to face. If they are doing this to all their customers and if they are doing it consciously, its to be tagged as scam more...

❌Not authentic shawarma at all! Sorry but I’m not your average customer. I come from high culinary background & i know what an authentic shawarma tastes & looks like. What you get here is a five minutes Youtube recipe Shawarma serviced!

Q. Does it taste like shawarma? No

Don’t let these positive stars [deceive] you. If you’re looking for Shawarma this is not the place. If it’s okay with [You] to have some pieces of chicken with curry spices then it’s for you.
