One of Munich's most satisfying Middle Eastern and Turkish dining scenes has quietly taken root in Sendling, with a stretch of good shawarma, mezze, and grilled meat spots along Lindwurmstrasse that reward exploration. Prices are honest and the food largely outperforms what you'd find on the tourist circuit, making it a reliable choice when you want something more interesting than the city centre. The area around Sendlinger Tor is where most of the action concentrates.
