Zula Restaurant — Restaurant in Berlin

I loved this place at first - finally hummus as good as some of the places I like in Israel! However it quickly became very upsetting that even the supposedly "large" hummus is anything but large, barely noticeable difference from the medium and you end up paying between 7 to 11 euros on a rather unsatisfying meal! Not to mention the small hummus which is basically a sample. And if you can't eat pita like me you end coming out of there still starving.

But it's not just the hummus, everything is unreasonably expensive. Majadra (rice and lentils - a side dish usually) will set you back 8 euros. A chicken schnitzel (not nearly as good as the hummus) costs a whopping 13 euros. And a tiny portion of labneh cheese - 6 euros.

I felt that in this restaurant much more could be done to provide both customers and waiters with a safe environment, especially as both the place and the...

My initial opinion was that if a café has the word “hummus” in its name, then its hummus can’t be that bad. It turns out that the hummus here is excellent, quite astounding in fact, and I am definitely coming back for more.

Definitely recommend the shakshuka. It comes with spicy green chili and lemon juice on the side.

The only bad thing was that they served hot black tea in a glass with no handle. Why... but the tea was good. Comes with honey on the side.
