"Kartoffellord" is basically my first encounter with real vegan "fast food" ever (luckily). I actually cannot remember when I first ate my first ARABIC but it has to be ages ago. Back then they just had a tiny, tiny shop with 2-3 seats only and where something like THE place for vegans to go to grab a snack. A lot has changed since then, they have a second branch in Düsseldorf now (The Lord, Bilk-Arcaden I guess) and the former tiny kitchen-only place has morphed into a two-story venue with many seats and quite a wide range of dishes compared to the early days. I still go there regularily and I always at least take one ARABIC (actually two most of the time), olives with walnut-pomegrenate sauce and Koolocheeh. In my opinion, ARABIC, which they seem to have invented, still is a one-of-a-kind food you can't get anywhere else. It's texture and flavour are so unique and hearty I think I'll always come back. Another good thing is it's still all homemade and always slightly differs in taste (and quality - but from "very good" to "superior" I don't mind). It's also great to see the (former?) owner and possibly the man who invented ARABIC is still around and supervises the young folks working their so that the quality stays top-notch.
