Harb Trading and Contracting - Arabische Lebensmittel & Gewürze

Arabic cuisine is healthy and, with dishes like couscous, falafel, and hummus, continues to be on-trend in Berlin. The Orient is characterized primarily by spices such as ginger, chili, anise, cloves, nutmeg, saffron, cinnamon, cumin, and cardamom. They spoil the senses with intense fragrances and flavors, so sometimes just a pinch is enough to wonderfully enhance a dish. For grains and legumes, the Middle East uses a lot of rice, bulgur, lentils, beans, and chickpeas in all sizes and colors.

The spice shop Harb Trading and Contracting on Potsdamer Straße has been around for 35 years. It enchants with its appealing decor and warm hospitality. Even upon entering, a pleasant scent of herbs and mocha unfolds. The shelves are filled with tea, nuts, pastries, spices, wines, dried fruits, and typical Arabic foods. On-site, you can drink a Turkish coffee, prepared directly on hot sand in a copper pot. The large selection is overwhelming and also allows for the discovery of unknown ingredients. You can have the required ingredients and spices weighed individually or buy them as spice blends. In addition, there are tasty dips and selected imported specialties.
