The Mamounia in Wuppertal is near the fire department.
The oriental restaurant is furnished very cozy and authentic (from what I can tell). Here are a few impressions:
While I was sipping my fresh mint tea, which you could smell through the whole restaurant, I grabbed a menu and was pleased to find a lot of dishes suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It was hard to decide what to pick. I shared the appetizer platters with a friend. Then different delicacies with flat bread. Sooo good.
Baba ghannoush, olive tapenade, falafel, garlic potatoes, okra, bulgur salad, beetroot salad, tabouleh, hommos and green beans
Every single thing was great. My favorites were baba ghannoush, hommos and tabouleh. I orderd a lemon mint lemonade with that, which was only a little sweet.
My main dish was called magali plate. It was fried eggplant, cauliflower and zucchini with a great dressing, that tasted like smoked paprika, lemon and yoghurt, falafel and salad with a lot of parsley, yay!

My friends orderd eggplant with chickpeas and okra with rice and salad. Both also very tasty.

I ordered a strong hibiscus tea as dessert, which was served in a cocktail glass with sugar rim. I don’t have a photo of that, because I was so deep in my conversations… 🙂
You should visit the Mamounia: Great food, atmosphere and friendly staff.
Love,
