Akam‘s
Heidelberg, Germany
The read// why locals go
Akam‘s brings a piece of the Orient to Bergheimer Straße: a Middle Eastern kitchen built on falafel, hommos and halal meat. The menu stays close to that core rather than sprawling in every direction, and it is written so that vegetarian, vegan and halal eaters can all order from the same page — useful in a university city where mixed tables are the rule rather than the exception. There is a terrace for the warmer months, and a second Heidelberg address over in the Bahnstadt, which is a fair measure of how the neighbourhood took to the first room. Two independent local sources sent us here, no guidebook involved. Main dishes sit around 18 euro, à la carte.
