The falafel sandwich quietly dominating Maybachufer
Kisa is the kind of place that makes you reconsider everything you thought you knew about falafel sandwiches in Berlin. Tucked along Maybachufer right by the Landwehr Canal, this little Sudanese spot turns out sandwiches that reviewers describe as "délicieux, onctueux, chaleureux" — delicious, creamy, and warm — and honestly, that about sums it up. The falafel is freshly fried, the sauces are generous, and the bread holds everything together without falling apart halfway through.

What makes Kisa worth seeking out is the consistency. This isn't a place that has an off day.

Come for the food, take it to the canal, and enjoy one of the best cheap eats in Neukölln. You'll be back.
