Reviews
Everything was great! I had the arabische falafel and it completely exceeded my expectations, it was huge, super tasty, and really affordable. One of the main highlight of the dish for me was the hummus. So creamy and full of flavor. My boyfriend and friends also enjoyed their meals a lot, I don’t remember the name of what they ordered, but everyone was so happy. I also want to mention the service. The chef was incredibly kind. I was in a hurry and he helped me order a taxi, and he prepared the food super quickly. Also, if the chef is reading this review, could you please email to this address me so I can ask for the recipe for the hummus and the pickled cucumbers? That pickle was so good, it had this amazing lemony, minty twist. I’ll definitely come back when I visit Berlin again!
Super tasty food!!! Their tabbouleh is so tasty and fresh, I couldn't stop eating it! The mixed vegetarian plate (Kibbeh mix) and the "Spezial Zaitoun gemischter Teller" were also so good! We were happy with what we ordered as it gave us the chance to try different food. The place is very cozy, and the guys there were very kind, and friendly. Lovely place! We will come back next time we visit Berlin 😀
Food was good they have all the types of dietary meals, vegan, vegetarian as well. Very generous and very kind people Try the Makluba and take the Freekeh we got the Indian kebab and it was super delicious. Basmati Rice is cooked perfectly and fluffy. Get the Falafel warm as well.
The food was delicious, we took the plate with a bit of everything, it was super worth in and abundant for 2
