Top 5: Non-German Foods in Germany

When visiting Germany you will want to throw yourself into the land’s traditional cuisine. And why not? Try the sauerkraut and dumplings, the cheese spaetzle and beer. Go for it! But while you are there you will also want to sample some of the foods that made in-roads into Germany over the last decades. The variety is pretty amazing and involves a good amount of Turkish food, as well as Japanese. Depending on the city or region in which you find yourself, signature dishes will vary and this is by no means an exhaustive list, but stay with us because the German food scene is pretty diverse.

Thanks to a thriving Japanese community, Düsseldorf has great Japanese markets and restaurants. If you want a great bowl of ramen, head to Naniwa.

Iranian Food in Munich

Try the lamb kabobs at Restaurant Persepolis; it is a short walk from the train station.

Vietnamese Food in Dresden

Grab a báhn mì sandwich at Codo. There are locations around the city and the sandwiches are good.

Israeli-Palestinian Food in Berlin

For some amazing hummus, Yemenite puff pastry and hot shakshuka, try Kanaan in Prenzlauerberg.

Korean Fried Chicken in Berlin

If you want to eat a bowl of piping hot Korean fried chicken wings then get thee to So So Angry Chicken in Kreuzberg. Be warned the XL bowl of chicken is built for two, no matter what a man named Georg says.
