U-Bahn Line U2: Eberwalderstraße
Nestled on one of the quieter streets of the fashionable Prenzlauer Berg district, Al Hamra is an Arabic cafe/bar popular with locals and visitors alike. This place definitely has that lived-in feel; with old wooden furniture dotted around the place, and faded cushions and couches providing a comfortable setting for a leisurely lunch over a friendly game of Scrabble or chess (boards available behind the bar). The atmosphere here is delightfully laid-back and if you plump for the couch seating option, you may find it a struggle to summon the will to leave. As the sun sets, the tea-lights come out and the soul soundtrack eases into traditional tones more befitting of an Arabian night that a German one. The menu is packed with a nice choice of tasty traditional dishes, many of which are available in sandwich or salad form. When the waitress comes to take your drink order go for the Ingwer Limonade. This is lemonade as it’s supposed to be; made-to-order, using an absurd amount of lemons and just a touch of ginger.
Lip-smacking is the word.
(Yum is the other word.)
