If you come to this location by foot, you may seem skeptical at first, but once you go inside the restaurant, you know everything will be amazing. Don’t let your opinion of foreigners around this berlin area shape your prejudgement about this restaurant.
I came here with my family of 8. It was difficult to find anything available for a party of 8, but managed to find this hidden restaurant on open table. Let me tell you, this hidden gem made our trip complete.
We were warmly welcomed and a table was prepared for us immediately. The owner came around to greet us and offer us suggestions should we not know what to order, but we all knew immediately what to order. I can recommend anything on the menu.
We ordered the appetizer sample plate, and everything was delicious. They even made whole wheat flat bread, which was warm and fresh. We also ordered the baba Ghanoush, which was amazing. The eggplant had that fresh off the grill aroma and was warm. We also had the falafel, which in my opinion is difficult to make, but they somehow perfected it. It was crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside. Most places either burn the falafel or it turns out soggy or too dry on the inside. They, however, perfected the art.
The side salads that came with every meal were also delicious and had a lot of variety in the choice of vegetables. The dressing was also very tasty. The dishes that were ordered varied from lamb, beef, shrimps, etc. I can honestly say this is one of the best restaurants in the area and I highly recommend this to anyone, especially groups.
If you want the special dessert, make sure you order it at least 20 minutes before you need to leave. They make it fresh. It is definitely worth the wait.
I read some reviews about people complaining about the service being too slow. We came in around 19:00 and noticed two waiters leaving as they were off duty around 20:45. This did cause some delay for other tables that just arrived, but honestly, the food makes up for it. At the end you also get a free tea; we were in a rush to leave at the end and didn’t get to enjoy this, but I am sure we will be back in the...
Read moreFirst of all, be careful, their prices went up A LOT. The menu pictures you see here on one of the pics are the old prices, add up to a very steep 20-30% compared to before. The fact their website doesn't have prices on the menu actually probably says enough, not transparent nor customer oriented. We would have had a small mezes plate, but decided against it because of price (my regular Greek place charges less than half of the simplest option here). Our mains were all right, but somewhat salty and to be honest, worse compared to the last time we were here. You can definitely get better quality for less elsewhere, good minced meat on a skewer doesn't have to cost 15,90 in Kreuzkölln. The reason for 3 stars in stead of 2, is that the service is definitely good, our waiter was very friendly and attentive, there when you needed him, but not overbearing. When I expressed my disappointment, the reaction I got was very appropriate. One last thing that was concerning is that we saw face masks worn only over the mouth but not the nose, kind of defying the purpose of wearing a mask, if they handle their masks that poorly, they might even be touching the front of their mask, which makes it more dangerous than not wearing a...
Read moreO my goodness! What a service, what a lovely vibe, what an authentic Kurdish miniature world ❤️ My wife and I visited here and had a fantastic dish and a more fantastic experience. Super clean utensil, and world-class clean and tidy toilet which truly enriched our joy(that's a number one prio for us). The Kurdish cuisine is coming from a visible and open kitchen, under the hands of a professional chef, delivered by some handsome, incredibly polite waiter. The background music? Was unbelievably cherry picked and charming. I couldn't help myself and waved with music all my time being there. The restaurant manager was also really nice, helpful and humble. He's a Kurdish true gentleman, with an awesome wisdom and vibrant taste for pleasing his customers. Hold on a sec: I forgot to mention the tea and the bread... Not even a bit less than PERFECT I can say. We can't wait to come back here for another...
