It includes an entrée to choose from two options, a main course and a drink.
They usually publish the daily menu on their Instagram Stories.

In the regular menu they have burgers, a few main dishes, sides, salads, drinks and desserts.
I like the risotto and the pad thai.

Their panna cotta is really good and also the lassis, perfect as dessert or for tea time.

From time to time they host a sunday brunch you have to book in advance, you can find out when following them on Instagram.

Food is good. But the service is really bad! I asked the waiter if there is a burger included in a menu (together with starter and drink) for 10,95€ and the answer was „no“. So I ordered the Burger and a Drink without a starter separately for 10,40€ in total. I was asked if I want the burger with a lentil or a vegan meat petty without indicating a price difference at all. I took the vegan meat petty, which seemed to be a good deal for me for 10,40€. When the bill came I was really surprised. Burger and drink costed 14,95€ (!!) surprisingly. When I asked the service why they told me that the vegan meat burger together with a drink is a „special menu price“. Unfortunately they never showed me this menu price and when I asked if there is a burger menu the waiter said „no“ before I ordered.

I had a salad with falafel balls (they were OK, not great), some green leaves, a tasteless dressing, some cherry tomatoes, some shredded vegan cheese (I’m not a big fan of fake cheese) and caramelized onions that were way too sweet, so I didn’t finish them. We also had hot drinks, which were fine. Given the few choices of vegan or vegetarian places to eat in the area (another one was temporarily closed and another one looked totally unappealing), it was OK, but really not...
